1 Samuel 5

1 Filistejci so vzeli Božjo skrinjo in jo iz Eben Ezerja prinesli v Ašdód.

And the Philistines have taken the ark of God, and bring it in from Eben-Ezer to Ashdod,

2 Ko so Filistejci vzeli Božjo skrinjo, so jo prinesli v Dagónovo hišo in jo postavili poleg Dagóna.

and the Philistines take the ark of God and bring it into the house of Dagon, and set it near 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 rise early on the morrow, and lo, Dagon is fallen on its face to the earth, before the ark of Jehovah; and they take Dagon, and put it back to its place.

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 they rise early in the morning on the morrow, and lo, Dagon is fallen on its face to the earth, before the ark of Jehovah, and the head of Dagon, and the two palms of its hands are cut off at the threshold, only the fishy part hath been left to him;

5 Zato niti Dagónovi duhovniki niti kdorkoli, ki pride v Dagónovo hišo, do današnjega dne, ne stopajo na Dagónov prag v Ašdódu.

therefore the priests of Dagon, and all those coming into the house of Dagon, tread not on the threshold of Dagon, in Ashdod, till 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.

And the hand of Jehovah is heavy on the Ashdodites, and He maketh them desolate, and smiteth them with emerods, Ashdod and its borders.

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.«

And the men of Ashdod see that [it is] so, and have said, 'The ark of the God of Israel doth not abide with us, for hard hath been His hand upon us, and upon 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.

And they send and gather all the princes of the Philistines unto them, and say, 'What do we do to the ark of the God of Israel?' and they say, 'To Gath let the ark of the God of Israel be brought round;' and they bring round the ark of the God of Israel;

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 cometh to pass after they have brought it round, that the hand of Jehovah is against the city — a very great destruction; and He smiteth the men of the city, from small even unto great; and break forth on them do emerods.

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.«

And they send the ark of God to Ekron, and it cometh to pass, at the coming in of the ark of God to Ekron, that the Ekronites cry out, saying, 'They have brought round unto us the ark of the God of Israel, to put us to death — 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 send and gather all the princes of the Philistines, and say, 'Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and it turneth back to its place, and it doth not put us to death — and our people;' for there hath been a deadly destruction throughout all the city, very heavy hath the hand of God been there,

12 Možje, ki niso umrli, so bili udarjeni s hemoroídi in krik mesta je šel gor do neba.

and the men who have not died have been smitten with emerods, and the cry of the city goeth up into the heavens.
