Kings I 5

1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Abenezer to Azotus.

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

2 And the Philistines took the ark of the Lord, 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 the people of Azotus rose early, and entered into the house of Dagon; and looked, and behold, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the Lord: and they lifted up Dagon, and set him in his place. And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon the Azotians, and he plagued them, and he struck them in their secret parts, Azotus and her coasts.

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 it came to pass when they rose early in the morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands [were] cut off each before the threshold, and both the wrists of his hands had fallen on the floor of the porch; only the stump of Dagon was left.

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 the priests of Dagon, and every one that enters into the house of Dagon, do not tread upon the threshold of the house of Dagon in Azotus until this day, for they step over.

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 And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon Azotus, and he brought evil upon them, and it burst out upon them into the ships, and mice sprang up in the midst of their country, and there was a great and indiscriminate mortality in the city.

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 the men of Azotus saw that [it was] so, and they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us, for his hand [is] heavy 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 And they send and gather the lords of the Philistines to them, and say, What shall we do to the ark of the God of Israel? and the Gittites say, Let the ark of God come over to us; and the ark of the God of Israel came to Geth.

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 came to pass after it went about to Geth, that the hand of the Lord comes upon the city, a very great confusion; and he struck the men of the city small and great, and struck them in their secret parts: and the Gittites made to themselves images of tumours.

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 And they send away the ark of God to Ascalon; and it came to pass when the ark of God went into Ascalon, that the men of Ascalon cried out, saying, Why have you brought back 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 And they send and gather the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it lodge in its place; and let it not kill us and our people.

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 For there was a very great confusion in all the city, when the ark of the God of Israel entered there; and those, who lived and died not were struck with tumours; 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.
