1 Samuel 5

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

Philistine ten Pathen thingkong alah jouvun, Ebenezer galmuna konin Ashdod khopi alhut tauve.

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

Amahon Pathen thingkong chu apu-uvin Dagon milim houna inah akoitauve,

3 And when those of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.

Ahin ajing jingkah matah’in Ashdod khosung miten agavet ule Dagon chu Pakai thingkong masang ah chun amaichang tol lang ana ngan ana lhun ahi. Chuin amahon Dagon chu aphongding un, akitunna ma ma a chun akoikit tauvin ahi.

4 And when they arose early on the morning of the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah, and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands lay cut off upon the threshold. Only the stump of Dagon was left to him.

Ahin ajing jingkah in angai ngaiyin, Dagon chu Pakai thingkong masang ah chun amai tol lang ana ngan ana lhu kit in ahi. Tuchung in vang, akhutphang teni le aluchang chu tanbohsan kotbul lamah ana um'in, Dagon atahsa bou chu kitup chet in ana kijam in ahi.

5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any who come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod, to this day.

Hijeh chun Dagon thempupa hihen lang, koi hijongle Ashdod khoa Dagon insunga hung jouse chun Dagon kijamna mun chu akeng’a ana chotpha louhel u ahi.

6 But the hand of Jehovah was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with tumors, even Ashdod and the borders of it.

Hijeh chun Pakai khut gih tah chu Ashdod mite chungah gih tah in achun, chule amaho le akho kom a kho ho chung’a chun tijat umtah in abol genthei lheh tan ahi,

7 And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us, for his hand is hard upon us, and upon Dagon our god.

Hichu mipiten ahetdoh phat’un, akapjah jengun, “Eihon Pathen thing khong ikomuva ikoi sot theilou diu ahi! Ama chu eihotoh kidou ahibouve, ipathenu Dagon toh eisuh mangtha diu ahibouve,” atiuvin ahi.

8 They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about to Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel there.

Hijeh chun amahon Philistine milen milal jouse aheng uvah akou khom un, “Israel Pathen thingkong hi i-ilodiu hitam?” atiuve. Chuin mipiten adonbut’un, Israel Pathen Thingkong chu Gath lamah kipo tahen tin akinopto tauvin ahi. Hijeh chun amahon Israel Pathen thing khong chu Gath lamah apolut tauve.

9 And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of Jehovah was against the city with a very great discomfiture. And he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and tumors broke out upon them.

Pathen thingkong Gath a agalhun phat un, Pathen khut thahat gihtah chu mite chunga achun, khopi sunga mite chu alen aneo abonchauvin ajep’in, uilut alansah tan ahi.

10 So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people.

Hijeh chun amahon Pathen thingkong chu Ekron khopi ah atoldoh kit tauve, ahin Ekron miten amu phat un akapjah kit jengun, amahon Israel Pathen thingkong ahin thahlut jengu hi, eiho hi thigam nao hen, eitiuva ahi atiuve.

11 They sent therefore 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, that it not kill us and our people. For there was a deadly discomfiture throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.

Hichun mipite hon Philistine lamkai ho thu apeuvin, ngehna aneijun, “Lungset tah in Israel Pathen thingkong hi agamlang uva nathahlut pehlou uva ahileh Ibonchauva eitha gam dingu ahi,” akitiuve. Ajeh chu hihe khopi jouse sunga chu suhgamna nasatah uma ahitan, Pathen khut chu gihsatah chua ahitai.

12 And the men who did not die were smitten with the tumors, and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

Mihem athimoh ho chunga chun uilut achun, chule khopia kon awgin hung gin chun Van chan alhungin ahi.
