1 Samuel 5
1 Filistejci so vzeli Božjo skrinjo in jo iz Eben Ezerja prinesli v Ašdód.
Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
2 Ko so Filistejci vzeli Božjo skrinjo, so jo prinesli v Dagónovo hišo in jo postavili poleg Dagóna.
The Philistines took it, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
3 Ko so tisti iz Ašdóda naslednji dan zgodaj vstali, glej, Dagón je bil zvrnjen dol k zemlji, na svoj obraz, pred Gospodovo skrinjo. In prijeli so Dagóna in ga ponovno postavili na njegovo mesto.
And the Ashdodites rose early on the next day, and look, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the LORD. So they raised up Dagon and set him in his place again.
4 Ko so naslednji dan zgodaj zjutraj vstali, glej, Dagón je bil zvrnjen na svojem obrazu na tleh pred Gospodovo skrinjo, in Dagónova glava in obe dlani njegovih rok so bili odsekani na pragu. Samo Dagónov trup mu je preostal.
And it happened when they arose early the next morning, look, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold. Only Dagon's torso was intact.
5 Zato niti Dagónovi duhovniki niti kdorkoli, ki pride v Dagónovo hišo, do današnjega dne, ne stopajo na Dagónov prag v Ašdódu.
Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any who come into Dagon's house, step on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod, to this day.
6 Toda Gospodova roka je bila težka nad tistimi iz Ašdóda in uničeval jih je in jih udaril s hemoroídi, torej Ašdód in njegova mesta.
But the hand of the LORD was heavy on the Ashdodites, and he ravaged them and afflicted them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territory. And he brought up against them mice, and they burst out in their ships, and mice sprang up in the midst of their land, and there was a great terror of death in the city.
7 Ko so možje iz Ašdóda videli, da je bilo tako, so rekli: »Skrinja Izraelovega Boga naj ne ostane z nami, kajti njegova roka je boleče nad nami in nad našim bogom Dagónom.«
When the men of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, "The ark of God shall not stay with us; for his hand is severe on us, and on Dagon our god."
8 Zato so poslali in k sebi zbrali vse filistejske kneze ter rekli: »Kaj naj storimo s skrinjo Izraelovega Boga?« Odgovorili so: »Naj bo skrinja Izraelovega Boga prenesena v Gat.« In tja so prenesli skrinjo Izraelovega Boga.
So they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said, "What shall we do with the ark of God?" Then the Gittites answered, "Let the ark of God be carried over to us." So they brought the ark of God to Gath.
9 To je bilo tako, da potem, ko so jo odnesli, je bila Gospodova roka zoper mesto z zelo velikim uničenjem in udaril je može iz mesta, tako male, kakor velike in imeli so hemoroíde v svojih skritih delih.
And it came about that after they had brought it around, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great confusion: and he struck the men of the city, both small and great; and tumors broke out on them.
10 Zato so Božjo skrinjo poslali v Ekrón. Pripetilo se je, ko je Božja skrinja prišla v Ekrón, da so Ekrónci zavpili, rekoč: »K nam so privedli skrinjo Izraelovega Boga, da ubije nas in naše ljudstvo.«
So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. It happened, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, "Why have you brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people?"
11 Tako so poslali in zbrali skupaj vse filistejske kneze in rekli: »Pošljite proč skrinjo Izraelovega Boga in naj ponovno gre na svoj kraj, da ne ubije nas in našega ljudstva, « kajti tam je bilo v vsem mestu smrtonosno uničenje. Božja roka je bila tam zelo težka.
And they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, "Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to its own place, so that it will not kill us and our people." For there was a panic throughout all the city when the ark of God arrived there.
12 Možje, ki niso umrli, so bili udarjeni s hemoroídi in krik mesta je šel gor do neba.
The men who did not die were struck with the tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
