1 Samuel 5
1 Now the Philistines, having taken the ark of God, took it with them from Eben-ezer to Ashdod.
非利士人将 神的约柜从以便以谢抬到亚实突。
2 They took the ark of God into the house of Dagon and put it by the side of Dagon.
非利士人将 神的约柜抬进大衮庙，放在大衮的旁边。
3 And when the people of Ashdod got up early on the morning after, they saw that Dagon had come down to the earth on his face before the ark of the Lord. And they took Dagon up and put him in his place again.
次日清早，亚实突人起来，见大衮仆倒在耶和华的约柜前，脸伏于地，就把大衮仍立在原处。
4 And when they got up early on the morning after, Dagon had come down to the earth on his face before the ark of the Lord; and his head and his hands were broken off on the doorstep; only the base was in its place.
又次日清早起来，见大衮仆倒在耶和华的约柜前，脸伏于地，并且大衮的头和两手都在门槛上折断，只剩下大衮的残体。（
5 So to this day no priest of Dagon, or any who come into Dagon's house, will put his foot on the doorstep of the house of Dagon in Ashdod.
因此，大衮的祭司和一切进亚实突、大衮庙的人都不踏大衮庙的门槛，直到今日。）
6 But the hand of the Lord was hard on the people of Ashdod and he sent disease on them through all the country of Ashdod.
耶和华的手重重加在亚实突人身上，败坏他们，使他们生痔疮。亚实突和亚实突的四境都是如此。
7 And when the men of Ashdod saw how it was, they said, Let not the ark of the God of Israel be with us, for his hand is hard on us and on Dagon our god.
亚实突人见这光景，就说：“以色列 神的约柜不可留在我们这里，因为他的手重重加在我们和我们神大衮的身上”；
8 So they sent for all the lords of the Philistines to come together there, and said, What are we to do with the ark of the God of Israel? And their answer was, Let the ark of the God of Israel be taken away to Gath. So they took the ark of the God of Israel away.
就打发人去请非利士的众首领来聚集，问他们说：“我们向以色列 神的约柜应当怎样行呢？”他们回答说：“可以将以色列 神的约柜运到迦特去。”于是将以色列 神的约柜运到那里去。
9 But after they had taken it away, the hand of the Lord was stretched out against the town for its destruction: and the signs of disease came out on all the men of the town, small and great.
运到之后，耶和华的手攻击那城，使那城的人大大惊慌，无论大小都生痔疮。
10 So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And when the ark of God came to Ekron, the people of the town made an outcry, saying, They have sent the ark of the God of Israel to us for the destruction of us and of our people.
他们就把 神的约柜送到以革伦。 神的约柜到了，以革伦人就喊嚷起来说：“他们将以色列 神的约柜运到我们这里，要害我们和我们的众民！”
11 So they sent and got together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go back to its place, so that it may not be the cause of death to us and to our people: for there was a great fear of death through all the town; the hand of God was very hard on them there.
于是打发人去请非利士的众首领来，说：“愿你们将以色列 神的约柜送回原处，免得害了我们和我们的众民！”原来 神的手重重攻击那城，城中的人有因惊慌而死的；
12 And those men who were not overtaken by death were cruelly diseased: and the cry of the town went up to heaven.
未曾死的人都生了痔疮。合城呼号，声音上达于天。
