Sie Samuel 5

1 Tukun mwet Philistia sruokya Tuptup in Wuleang elos usla liki acn Ebenezer nu Ashdod, siti selos sifacna.

Now, the Philistines, having taken the ark of God, —brought it in from Eben-ezer, unto Ashdod.

2 Elos usak nu in tempul lun god Dagon, ac filiya sisken ma sruloala se kacl sifacna.

And, when the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, —and placed it by the side of Dagon.

3 Ke mwet Ashdod elos toang tukakek in lutu tok ah, elos liye tuh ma sruloala kacl Dagon putatla oankiyuki ye mutun Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD. Na elos srukak ma sruloala sac ac sifilpa folokonak nu yen se oan we ah.

And, when they of Ashdod rose early on the morrow and entered into the house of Dagon, they looked and lo! Dagon, was lying prostrate on his face to the earth, before the ark of Yahweh, —so they took Dagon and restored him to his place.

4 Toang in lutu tok ah, elos sifilpa liye tuh ma sruloala sac putatla ac oankiyuki ye mutun Tuptup in Wuleang. Pacl se inge sifa ac poun ma sruloala sac kipatla ac putatla oan ke mutunoa. Manol mukena oan sisken Tuptup in Wuleang.

And, when they rose up early in the morning of the morrow, lo! Dagon, was lying prostrate on his face to the earth, before the ark of Yahweh—and, the head of Dagon, and both the palms of his hands, had been cut off against the threshold, only, Dagon himself, was left to him.

5 (Ke sripa se inge, mwet tol lal Dagon, ku kutena mwet su utyak in alu nu sel in acn Ashdod, elos ac tupalot acn sac ac tia longya ye srungul uh. Ma inge orek na nwe misenge.)

For this cause, do not the priests of Dagon, nor any that enter into the house of Dagon, tread upon the threshold of Dagon, in Ashdod, —until this day.

6 LEUM GOD El akkeokye mwet Ashdod arulana upa ac aksangengyalos. El sang kai nu selos ac oayapa mwet su muta raunelosla. El oru tuh in oasr mahlap in manolos.

Then was the hand of Yahweh heavy against them of Ashdod, and he astounded them, —and smote with tumours Ashdod and her bounds.

7 Ac ke mwet Ashdod elos liye ma sikyak inge, elos fahk, “God lun Israel El akkeokye kut ac god lasr Dagon. Kut tia ku in lela Tuptup in Wuleang in oan paht yorosr.”

And, when the men of Ashdod saw that, so, it was, then kept they saying, Let not the ark of the God of Israel abide with us, for, hard, is his hand upon us, and upon Dagon our god.

8 Ouinge elos supwalik mwet in pangoneni tokosra limekosr lun mwet Philistia ac siyuk selos, “Mea kut ac oru ke Tuptup in Wuleang lun God lun Israel?” Ac elos topuk ac fahk, “Usla nu Gath.” Na elos usla nu Gath, sie pac siti lun mwet Philistia.

So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said—What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they said: To Gath, let the ark of the God of Israel go round. So they took round the ark of the God of Israel.

9 Ac tukun elos usla Tuptup sac nu Gath, LEUM GOD El kai pac siti sac ac oru tuh mwet we in arulana fohsak. El akkeokyalos ke mahlap in manolos — sikyak nu sin mwet nukewa in siti sac, mwet matu oayapa mwet fusr.

And so it was, after they had taken it round, then was the hand of Yahweh against the city, with an exceeding great consternation, and he smote the men of the city, from the least, even unto the greatest, —and they brake out with tumours.

10 Ke ma inge elos supwala Tuptup in Wuleang nu Ekron, sie pac siti lun mwet Philistia. Na ke pacl se sun acn se inge, mwet we elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Elos use Tuptup in Wuleang lun God lun Israel in tuh unikutla!”

Then sent they the ark of God to Ekron, —and so it was, when the ark of God entered Ekron, that the Ekronites made outcry, saying—They have brought round unto me the ark of the God of Israel, to slay me, and my people!

11 Na mwet inge sifilpa supwala mwet in pangonma tokosra limekosr lun mwet Philistia ac fahk, “Folokunla Tuptup in Wuleang lun God lun Israel nu in acn se sifacna, tuh in tia unikutla ac sou lasr.” Mwet nukewa in siti sac arulana fohsak mweyen upana kaiyuk lun God nu selos.

So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said—Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and restore it to its own place, that it slay not me, and my people. For there had come a deadly consternation, throughout all the city, heavy exceedingly, was the hand of God there.

12 Finne elos su tiana misa, oasr mahlap sikyak in manolos ac elos pang nu sin god lalos ac kwafe tuh elos in kasrelos.

And, the men who died not, were smitten with the tumours, —so the cry of the city for help, ascended the heavens.
