Samu'il 1 5
1 Filistiylǝr Hudaning ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪini olja elip, uni Əbǝn-Əzǝrdin elip Axdodⱪa bardi.
Emva kokuba amaFilistiya esethumbe ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu, alithatha e-Ebhenezeri alisa e-Ashidodi.
2 U yǝrdǝ Filistiylǝr Hudaning ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪini elip Dagon buthanisiƣa ǝkirip, Dagon degǝn butning yeniƣa ⱪoydi.
Aphinda alithwala alisa ethempelini likaDagoni.
3 Axdoddikilǝr ǝtisi sǝⱨǝr ⱪopup kǝlsǝ, mana Dagon buti Pǝrwǝrdigarning ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪining aldida yiⱪilƣiniqǝ düm yatatti. Xunga ular Dagon butni elip yǝnǝ ɵz ornida turƣuzup ⱪoydi.
Kwathi abantu base-Ashidodi bevuka ekuseni kakhulu okwalandelayo, nango uDagoni, ewele phansi ngobuso phambi kwebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo! Bamthatha uDagoni bambeka endaweni yakhe.
4 Lekin ǝtisi sǝⱨǝr ⱪopup kǝlsǝ, mana, Dagon Pǝrwǝrdigarning ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪining aldida yiⱪilƣiniqǝ düm yatatti; Dagonning bexi ⱨǝm ⱪolliri bosuƣida qeⱪilƣanidi; Dagonning pǝⱪǝt beliⱪsiman teni ⱪalƣanidi.
Kodwa ngakusasa ekuseni bathi bevuka, nango uDagoni, ewele phansi ngobuso phambi kwebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo! Ikhanda lakhe lezandla kwakugumukile kuthe qekele eduze lomnyango; kwakusele umzimba wakhe kuphela.
5 Xunga bügüngǝ ⱪǝdǝr Axdodta ya Dagonning kaⱨinliri bolsun ya Dagonning buthanisiƣa kirgüqilǝr bolsun, Dagonning bosuƣisiƣa dǝssimǝydu.
Ngalokho-ke kuze kube lamhla abaphristi bakaDagoni labanye nje abangena ethempelini likaDagoni kabanyatheli ekuqaliseni komnyango.
6 Andin Pǝrwǝrdigarning ⱪoli Axdoddikilǝrning üstigǝ ⱪattiⱪ qüxüp, ularni wǝyran ⱪilip, Axdod bilǝn ǝtrapidikilǝrni ⱨürrǝk kesili bilǝn urdi.
Isandla sikaThixo sasinzima phezu kwabantu base-Ashidodi laseduze kwayo; wehlisela incithakalo phezu kwabo yabahlupha langamathumba.
7 Axdoddikilǝr bularni kɵrüp: — Israilning Hudasining ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪi bizlǝrdǝ turmisun! Qünki uning ⱪoli bizni wǝ ilaⱨimiz Dagonni ⱪattiⱪ besiwaldi, deyixti.
Kwathi abantu base-Ashidodi bebona okwakusenzakala, bathi, “Ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikankulunkulu ka-Israyeli akumelanga lihlale lathi lapha, ngoba isandla sakhe sinzima phezu kwethu laphezu kukaDagoni unkulunkulu wethu.”
8 Xuning bilǝn ular adǝm mangdurup Filistiylǝrning ⱨǝmmǝ ƣojilirini qaⱪirtip jǝm ⱪilip ulardin: — Israilning Hudasining ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪini ⱪandaⱪ bir tǝrǝp ⱪilimiz? dǝp soridi. Ular: — Israilning Hudasining ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪi Gatⱪa qǝt yol bilǝn yɵtkǝlsun, dǝp jawab berixti. Xuning bilǝn ular Israilning Hudasining ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪini u yǝrgǝ qǝt yol bilǝn yɵtkidi.
Ngakho babiza bonke ababusi bamaFilistiya bababuza bathi, “Sizakwenzani ngebhokisi lesivumelwano sikankulunkulu ka-Israyeli na?” Baphendula bathi, “Ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikankulunkulu ka-Israyeli liseni eGathi.” Ngakho ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu balisa eGathi.
9 Wǝ xundaⱪ boldiki, ular uni qǝt yol bilǝn yɵtkigǝndin keyin Pǝrwǝrdigarning ⱪoli u xǝⱨǝrgǝ qüxüp kixilǝrni ⱪattiⱪ sarasimigǝ qüxürdi. U kiqiklǝrdin tartip qonglarƣiqǝ xǝⱨǝrdikilǝrni urdi, ular ⱨürrǝk kesiligǝ giriptar boldi.
Kodwa kwathi sebelihambisile, isandla sikaThixo samelana lalelodolobho, okwenza kwaba lokuthuthumela okukhulu kulo. Wahlupha abantu bedolobho lelo, abatsha labadala, ngokuphihlika kwamathumba.
10 Xuning bilǝn ular Hudaning ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪini Əkronƣa ǝwǝtti. Lekin Hudaning ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪi Əkronƣa yetip kǝlgǝndǝ, Əkrondikilǝr pǝryad ⱪilip: — Biz bilǝn hǝlⱪimizni ɵltürüx üqün ular Israilning Hudasining ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪini bizgǝ yɵtkidi! — dedi.
Ngakho ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu lasiwa e-Ekroni. Kwathi ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu lifika e-Ekroni, abantu base-Ekroni bakhala besithi, “Sebelethe ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikankulunkulu ka-Israyeli kithi lapha ukuzasibulala kanye labantu bakithi.”
11 Ular adǝm mangdurup Filistiylǝrning ƣojilirini ⱪiqⱪartip jǝm ⱪilip ularƣa: — Biz bilǝn hǝlⱪimizni ɵltürmǝsliki üqün Israilning Hudasining ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪini bu yǝrdin ɵz jayiƣa kǝtküzünglar, dedi; qünki ⱪattiⱪ wǝⱨimǝ xǝⱨǝrni basⱪanidi; Hudaning ⱪoli ularning üstigǝ tolimu eƣir qüxkǝnidi.
Ngakho babiza bonke ababusi bamaFilistiya, bathi, “Susani ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikankulunkulu ka-Israyeli; kalibuyele emuva endaweni yalo, hlezi lisibulale thina kanye labantu bakithi.” Ngoba ukufa kwakwenze kwaba lokuthuthumela edolobheni; isandla sikaNkulunkulu sasinzima kakhulu phezu kwalo.
12 Ɵlmigǝn adǝmlǝr bolsa ⱨürrǝk kesili bilǝn urulup, xǝⱨǝrning pǝryadi asmanƣa kɵtürüldi.
Labo abangafanga baphunywa ngamathumba, njalo umkhosi wedolobho waya phezulu ezulwini.
