1 Samuel 5
1 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí àwọn Filistini ti gba àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run lọ, wọ́n gbé e láti Ebeneseri sí Aṣdodu.
And the Philistines have taken the ark of God, and bring it in from Eben-Ezer to Ashdod,
2 Nígbà tí àwọn Filistini gbé àpótí Ọlọ́run náà lọ sí tẹmpili Dagoni, wọ́n gbé e kalẹ̀ sí ẹ̀bá Dagoni.
and the Philistines take the ark of God and bring it into the house of Dagon, and set it near Dagon.
3 Nígbà tí àwọn ará Aṣdodu jí ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù ní ọjọ́ kejì, Dagoni ṣubú, ó dojúbolẹ̀ níwájú àpótí Olúwa, wọ́n sì gbé Dagoni, wọ́n tún fi sí ààyè rẹ̀.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì nígbà tí wọ́n dìde, Dagoni ṣì wá, ó ṣubú ó dojúbolẹ̀ níwájú àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa. Orí àti ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sì ti gé kúrò, ó sì dùbúlẹ̀ ní orí ìloro ẹnu-ọ̀nà, ara rẹ̀ nìkan ni ó kù.
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 Ìdí nìyìí títí di òní tí ó fi jẹ́ pé àlùfáà Dagoni tàbí àwọn mìíràn tí ó wọ inú tẹmpili Dagoni ní Aṣdodu fi ń tẹ orí ìloro ẹnu-ọ̀nà.
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 Ọwọ́ Olúwa wúwo lára àwọn ènìyàn Aṣdodu àti gbogbo agbègbè rẹ̀: ó mú ìparun wá sórí wọn, ó sì pọ́n wọn lójú pẹ̀lú ààrùn oníkókó.
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 Nígbà tí àwọn ọkùnrin Aṣdodu rí ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀, wọ́n wí pé, “Àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run ti Israẹli kò gbọdọ̀ dúró níbí yìí pẹ̀lú wa, nítorí ọwọ́ rẹ̀ wúwo lára wa àti lára Dagoni ọlọ́run wá.”
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 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n pè gbogbo àwọn olórí Filistini jọ wọ́n sì bi wọ́n pé, “Kí ni a ó ṣe pẹ̀lú àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run àwọn Israẹli?” Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí á gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run àwọn Israẹli lọ sí Gati.” Wọ́n sì gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n ti gbé e, ọwọ́ Olúwa sì wá sí ìlú náà, ó mú jìnnìjìnnì bá wọn. Ó sì pọ́n àwọn ènìyàn ìlú náà lójú, ọmọdé àti àgbà, pẹ̀lú àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn oníkókó.
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 Wọ́n gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run lọ sí Ekroni. Bí àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run ṣe wọ Ekroni, àwọn ará Ekroni fi igbe ta pé, “Wọ́n ti gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run Israẹli tọ̀ wá wá láti pa wá àti àwọn ènìyàn wa.”
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 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n pe gbogbo àwọn olórí àwọn Filistini jọ wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ẹ gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run àwọn Israẹli lọ: ẹ jẹ́ kí ó padà sí ààyè rẹ̀, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ yóò pa wá àti àwọn ènìyàn wa.” Ikú ti mú jìnnìjìnnì bá àwọn ará ìlú, ọwọ́ Ọlọ́run sì wúwo lára wọn.
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 Àwọn tí kò kú wọ́n pọ́n wọn lójú pẹ̀lú ààrùn oníkókó, ẹkún ìlú náà sì gòkè lọ sí ọ̀run.
and the men who have not died have been smitten with emerods, and the cry of the city goeth up into the heavens.
