Samuu'Eel Kowaad 5

1 Haddaba reer Falastiin way qaateen sanduuqii Ilaah, oo waxay ka keeneen Ebenceser, oo geeyeen Ashdood.

Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Eben-ezer unto Ashdod.

2 Markaasay reer Falastiin sanduuqii Ilaah qaateen, oo intay geliyeen gurigii Daagoon ayay ag qotomiyeen Daagoon.

And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.

3 Oo maalintii dambe markii kuwii reer Ashdood aroor hore kaceen waxay arkeen Daagoon oo wejiga ugu dhacay sanduuqii Rabbiga hortiisa. Markaasay Daagoon qaadeen oo meeshiisii qotomiyeen.

And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.

4 Oo haddana markay subaxdii dambe aroor hore kaceen, waxay arkeen Daagoon oo wejiga ugu dhacay sanduuqii Rabbiga hortiisa; oo Daagoon madaxiisii iyo labadiisii gacmoodba way ka go'naayeen oo waxay ku dhaceen marinka, oo Daagoon waxaa u hadhay gumudkii oo keliya.

And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands [lay] cut off upon the threshold; only [the stump of] Dagon was left to him.

5 Taas aawadeed Daagoon wadaaddadiisii, ama dad kaleto oo Daagoon gurigiisa soo galaba, midna kuma joogsado marinkii guriga Daagoon oo Ashdood ku yiil ilaa maantadan la joogo.

Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon’s house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod, unto this day.

6 Laakiinse gacantii Rabbigu way ku cuslayd reer Ashdood, wuuna baabbi'iyey iyagii, oo wuxuu kasoobaxyo ku soo daayay Ashdood iyo xuduudkeeda oo dhanba.

But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with tumours, even Ashdod and the borders thereof.

7 Oo dadkii reer Ashdood markay arkeen inay saas tahay ayay yidhaahdeen, Sanduuqa Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil waa inaanu ina dhex oollin; waayo, gacantiisii aad bay inoogu adag tahay, innaga iyo ilaaheenna Daagoonba.

And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon as, and upon Dagon our god.

8 Sidaas daraaddeed waxay u cid dirteen oo soo urursadeen madaxdii reer Falastiin oo dhan, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, War maxaynu ku samaynaa sanduuqa Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil? Oo iyana waxay ugu jawaabeen, Sanduuqii Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ha lagu soo wareejiyo Gad. Oo iyana sanduuqii Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil halkaasay ku soo wareejiyeen.

They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about [thither].

9 Oo sidaasay ahaatay markii ay qaadeen dabadeed inay gacantii Rabbigu gees ka ahayd magaaladii, oo wuxuu ku riday naxdin weyn; oo dadkii magaaladana wax buu ku dhuftay yar iyo weynba, oo kulligoodna kasoobaxyo ayaa ka soo wada baxay.

And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great discomfiture: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and tumours brake out upon them.

10 Sidaas daraaddeed waxay sanduuqii Ilaah u direen xagga Ceqroon. Oo markii sanduuqii Ilaah Ceqroon yimid ayay reer Ceqroon wada qayliyeen, oo yidhaahdeen, Sanduuqa Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil waxay inoogu keeneen inay ina laayaan innaga iyo dadkeennaba.

So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people.

11 Sidaas daraaddeed way u cid dirteen oo soo wada urursadeen madaxdii reer Falastiin oo dhan, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Sanduuqa Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil inaga fogeeya, oo iska daaya, meeshiisii haddana ha tagee, oo innaga iyo dadkeennaba yuu ina layne; waayo, magaalada waxaa kulligeed ku dhex jiray naxdinta dhimashada, oo halkaasna gacanta Ilaah waa ku cuslayd.

They sent therefore 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, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly discomfiture throughout all the city, the hand of God was very heavy there.

12 Oo dadkii aan dhimanna waxaa lagu dhuftay kasoobaxyo, oo magaalada qayladeediina waxay u baxday xagga samada.

And the men that died not were smitten with the tumours: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
