1 Samuel 5
1 Now the Philistines had taken God’s ark, and they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
Alò, Filisten yo te pran lach Bondye a e yo te mennen li soti Ében-Ézer pou rive Asdod.
2 The Philistines took God’s ark, and brought it into the house of Dagon and set it by Dagon.
Filisten yo te pran lach Bondye a, yo te mennen li lakay Dagon e yo te poze li akote Dagon.
3 When the people of Ashdod arose early on the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before Yahweh’s ark. They took Dagon and set him in his place again.
Lè Asdodyen yo te leve granmmaten an, veye byen, Dagon te tonbe atè sou figi li devan lach SENYÈ a. Konsa, yo pran Dagon e mete li nan plas li ankò.
4 When they arose early on the following morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before Yahweh’s ark; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold. Only Dagon’s torso was intact.
Men lè yo te leve bonè granmmaten, vwala, Dagon te tonbe atè sou figi li devan lach SENYÈ a. Konsa, tèt Dagon an avèk toude pla men l te koupe atè sou papòt la; se sèl twòn kò Dagon an ki te rete sou li.
5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any who come into Dagon’s house step on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
Akoz sa, ni prèt Dagon yo ni tout moun ki antre lakay Dagon nan Asdod jis rive jodi a, pa janm foule pye yo nan papòt Dagon an.
6 But Yahweh’s hand was heavy on the people of Ashdod, and he destroyed them and struck them with tumors, even Ashdod and its borders.
Alò men SENYÈ a te lou sou Asdodyen yo. Li te fè yo vin dezole e te frape yo avèk gwo boul bouton, ni Asdod, ni teritwa li yo.
7 When the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel shall not stay with us, for his hand is severe on us and on Dagon our god.”
Lè Mesye Asdod yo te wè ke sa te konsa, yo te di: “Fòk lach Bondye Israël la pa rete pami nou. Paske men Li lou sou nou ak sou Dagon, dye pa nou an.”
8 They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” They answered, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried over to Gath.” They carried the ark of the God of Israel there.
Konsa, yo te voye ranmase tout prens Filisten yo kote yo, e te di: “Kisa nou dwe fè avèk lach Bondye Israël la?” Yo te reponn: “Kite lach Bondye Israël la pote rive ozanviwon Gath.” Konsa, yo te pote lach Bondye Israël la rive.
9 It was so, that after they had carried it there, Yahweh’s hand was against the city with a very great confusion; and he struck the men of the city, both small and great, so that tumors broke out on them.
Lè yo te fin pote li rive, men SENYÈ a te vin kont vil la avèk gwo boulvèsman. Li te frape Mesye lavil yo, ni jenn, ni granmoun jiskaske gwo boul bouton yo te vin pete sou yo.
10 So they sent God’s ark to Ekron. As God’s ark came to Ekron, the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought the ark of the God of Israel here to us, to kill us and our people.”
Konsa yo te voye lach Bondye a nan Ékron. Epi pandan lach Bondye a te rive nan Ékron, Ekwonyen yo te kriye fò. Yo te di: “Yo vin pote Bondye Israël la bò kote nou pou touye nou avèk pèp nou an.”
11 They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, “Send the ark of the God of Israel away, and let it go again to its own place, that it not kill us and our people.” For there was a deadly panic throughout all the city. The hand of God was very heavy there.
Pou sa, yo te voye rasanble tout prens a Filisten yo, e te di: “Voye lach Bondye Israël la ale. Kite li retounen nan pwòp plas li, pou li pa touye nou avèk pèp nou an.” Paske te genyen yon gwo boulvèsman ki t ap mennen lanmò toupatou nan vil la. Men SENYÈ a te lou kote sa a.
12 The men who didn’t die were struck with the tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
Epi Mesye ki pa t mouri yo te frape avèk gwo boul bouton yo, e gwo kri lavil la te monte jis rive nan syèl la.
