1 Samuel 5

1 Then the Philistines took the ark of God, and they transported it from the Stone of Assistance into Ashdod.

LAWE aku la ko Pilisetia i ka pahu o ke Akua, a halihali aku la mai Ebenezera aku a hiki i Asedoda.

2 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and carried it into the temple of Dagon. And they stationed it beside Dagon.

A lawe ae la ko Pilisetia i ka pahu o ke Akua, a hali aku la iloko o ka hale o Dagona, a waiho ma ka aoao o Dagona.

3 And when the Ashdodites had risen up at first light on the next day, behold, Dagon was lying prone on the ground before the ark of the Lord. And they took Dagon, and they set him again in his place.

Ia la iho, ala ae la ko Asedoda i kakahiaka nui, aia hoi, ua hina iho la o Dagona ilalo ke alo ma ka honua imua o ka pahu o Iehova. Lawe aku la lakou ia Dagona, a hooku hou ia ia ma kona wahi.

4 And again, on the next day, rising up in the morning, they found Dagon lying on his face upon the ground, before the ark of the Lord. But the head of Dagon, and both palms of his hands had been cut off upon the threshold.

A ia la ae, ala hou ae la lakou i kakahiaka nui, aia hoi, ua hina iho la o Dagona ilalo ke alo ma ka honua imua o ka pahu o Iehova; a o ke poo o Dagona, a me kona mau lima elua, ua hemo ma ka paepae, a o ka ia wale no i koe ia ia.

5 Moreover, only the trunk of Dagon remained in its place. For this reason, the priests of Dagon, and all who enter his temple, do not tread upon the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod, even to this day.

No ia mea, o na kahuna a Dagona, a me na mea a pau e hele maloko o ka hale o Dagona, aole lakou e hehi maluna o ka paepae o Dagona ma Asedoda, a hiki i keia wa.

6 Now the hand of the Lord weighed heavily upon the Ashdodites, and he destroyed them. And he struck Ashdod and its borders at the inner part of the buttocks. And in the villages and fields, in the midst of that region, mice rose up and burst forth. And this caused a great tumult unto death in the city.

A ua kaumaha ka lima o Iehova maluna o ko Asedoda, a luku mai oia ia lakou, a hahau mai ia lakou i ka mai hikoko, i ko Asedoda a me ko laila wahi a puni.

7 Then the men of Ashdod, seeing this kind of plague, said: “The ark of the God of Israel shall not remain with us. For his hand is harsh, over us and over Dagon, our god.”

A ike aku la na kanaka o Asedoda i ka mea i hanaia pela, i ae la lakou, Aole e noho me kakou ka pahu o ke Akua o ka Iseraela: no ka mea, ua kaumaha kona lima maluna o kakou, a maluna o Dagona ko kakou akua.

8 And sending, they gathered together all the princes of the Philistines to them, and they said, “What shall we do about the ark of the God of Israel?” And the Gathites responded, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be led around.” And they led the ark of the God of Israel around.

Hoouna aku la lakou e houluulu i na haku a pau o ko Pilisetia io lakou la, ninau aku la ia lakou, Heaha ka makou e hana aku ai i ka pahu o ke Akua o ka Iseraela? I mai la lakou, E laweia'ku ka pahu o ke Akua o ka Iseraela ma Gata. A lawe aku la lakou i ka pahu o ke Akua o ka Iseraela ilaila.

9 And as they were carrying it around, the hand of the Lord fell upon every single city with an exceedingly great slaughter. And he struck down the men of each and every city, from the small even to the great. And cysts were festering at their buttocks. And the Gathites took counsel, and they made for themselves seat covers from pelts.

A mahope o ka lakou lawe ana ku ia mea malaila, ku e mai la ka lima o Iehova i ua kulanakauhale la me ka luku nui loa; a hahau mai ia i ua kanaka o ke kulanakauhale, i ka mea uuku, a me ka mea nui, a poha iho la ko lakou puupuu koko.

10 Therefore, they sent the ark of God into Ekron. And when the ark of God had arrived at Ekron, the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought the ark of the God of Israel to us, so that it may kill us and our people!”

No ia mea, lawe aku la lakou i ka pahu o ke Akua i Ekerona. A hiki aku la ka pahu o ke Akua ma Ekerona, auwe iho la ko Ekerona, i ka i ana ae, Ua lawe mai lakou i ka pahu o ke Akua o ka Iseraela io kakou nei e pepehi ia kakou a me ko kakou poe kanaka.

11 And so they sent and gathered together all the princes of the Philistines, and they said: “Release the ark of the God of Israel, and return it to its own place. And let it not kill us, with our people.”

No ia hoi, hoouna aku la lakou e houluulu i na haku a pau o ko Pilisetia, i aku la, E lawe aku i ka pahu o ke Akua o ka Iseraela, a e hoihoi aku ma kona wahi, i ole ai ia e pepehi mai ia makou a me ko makou poe kanaka: no ka mea, he make nui ma ke kulanakauhale a pau; ua kaumaha loa ka lima o ke Akua malaila.

12 For the fear of death fell upon every single city, and the hand of God was very heavy. Also, the men who did not die were being afflicted in the inner part of the buttocks. And the wailing of each city was ascending to heaven.

A o na kanaka aole i make, loohia lakou e ka mai hikoko; a pii ae la ka uwe o ua kulanakauhale la i ka lani.
