Samuu'Eel Kowaad 5

1 Haddaba reer Falastiin way qaateen sanduuqii Ilaah, oo waxay ka keeneen Ebenceser, oo geeyeen Ashdood.

Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.

2 Markaasay reer Falastiin sanduuqii Ilaah qaateen, oo intay geliyeen gurigii Daagoon ayay ag qotomiyeen Daagoon.

The Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.

3 Oo maalintii dambe markii kuwii reer Ashdood aroor hore kaceen waxay arkeen Daagoon oo wejiga ugu dhacay sanduuqii Rabbiga hortiisa. Markaasay Daagoon qaadeen oo meeshiisii qotomiyeen.

And the Ashdodites rose early on the next day, and look, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of Jehovah. So they raised up Dagon and set him in his place again.

4 Oo haddana markay subaxdii dambe aroor hore kaceen, waxay arkeen Daagoon oo wejiga ugu dhacay sanduuqii Rabbiga hortiisa; oo Daagoon madaxiisii iyo labadiisii gacmoodba way ka go'naayeen oo waxay ku dhaceen marinka, oo Daagoon waxaa u hadhay gumudkii oo keliya.

And it happened when they arose early the next morning, look, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of Jehovah; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold. Only Dagon's torso was intact.

5 Taas aawadeed Daagoon wadaaddadiisii, ama dad kaleto oo Daagoon gurigiisa soo galaba, midna kuma joogsado marinkii guriga Daagoon oo Ashdood ku yiil ilaa maantadan la joogo.

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.

6 Laakiinse gacantii Rabbigu way ku cuslayd reer Ashdood, wuuna baabbi'iyey iyagii, oo wuxuu kasoobaxyo ku soo daayay Ashdood iyo xuduudkeeda oo dhanba.

But the hand of Jehovah was heavy on the Ashdodites, and he ravaged them and afflicted them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territory. And he brought up against them mice, and they burst out in their ships, and mice sprang up in the midst of their land, and there was a great terror of death in the city.

7 Oo dadkii reer Ashdood markay arkeen inay saas tahay ayay yidhaahdeen, Sanduuqa Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil waa inaanu ina dhex oollin; waayo, gacantiisii aad bay inoogu adag tahay, innaga iyo ilaaheenna Daagoonba.

When the men of Ashdod saw what was happening, 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."

8 Sidaas daraaddeed waxay u cid dirteen oo soo urursadeen madaxdii reer Falastiin oo dhan, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, War maxaynu ku samaynaa sanduuqa Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil? Oo iyana waxay ugu jawaabeen, Sanduuqii Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ha lagu soo wareejiyo Gad. Oo iyana sanduuqii Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil halkaasay ku soo wareejiyeen.

So they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said, "What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?" Then the Gittites answered, "Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried over to us." So they brought the ark of God to Gath.

9 Oo sidaasay ahaatay markii ay qaadeen dabadeed inay gacantii Rabbigu gees ka ahayd magaaladii, oo wuxuu ku riday naxdin weyn; oo dadkii magaaladana wax buu ku dhuftay yar iyo weynba, oo kulligoodna kasoobaxyo ayaa ka soo wada baxay.

And it happened after they had brought it around, the hand of Jehovah was against the city with a very great confusion: and he struck the men of the city, both small and great; and tumors broke out on them.

10 Sidaas daraaddeed waxay sanduuqii Ilaah u direen xagga Ceqroon. Oo markii sanduuqii Ilaah Ceqroon yimid ayay reer Ceqroon wada qayliyeen, oo yidhaahdeen, Sanduuqa Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil waxay inoogu keeneen inay ina laayaan innaga iyo dadkeennaba.

So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. It happened, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, "Why have you brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people?"

11 Sidaas daraaddeed way u cid dirteen oo soo wada urursadeen madaxdii reer Falastiin oo dhan, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Sanduuqa Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil inaga fogeeya, oo iska daaya, meeshiisii haddana ha tagee, oo innaga iyo dadkeennaba yuu ina layne; waayo, magaalada waxaa kulligeed ku dhex jiray naxdinta dhimashada, oo halkaasna gacanta Ilaah waa ku cuslayd.

And they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, "Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to its own place, so that it will not kill us and our people." For there was a very heavy terror of death throughout all the city when the ark of God arrived there.

12 Oo dadkii aan dhimanna waxaa lagu dhuftay kasoobaxyo, oo magaalada qayladeediina waxay u baxday xagga samada.

The men who did not die were struck with the tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
