1 Samuel 5
1 Then the Philistims tooke the Arke of God and caried it from Eben-ezer vnto Ashdod,
Na, tera kua riro te aaka a te Atua i nga Pirihitini, kua mauria atu i Epeneetere ki Aharoro.
2 Euen the Philistims tooke ye Arke of God, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
Na ka mau nga Pirihitini ki te aaka a te Atua, a kawea ana e ratou ki te whare o Rakono, whakaturia ake ki te taha o Rakono.
3 And when they of Ashdod rose the next day in the morning, beholde, Dagon was fallen vpon his face on the ground before the Arke of the Lord, and they tooke vp Dagon, and set him in his place againe.
A, no te marangatanga ake o nga Aharori i te aonga ake, na kua taka, kua tapapa iho a Rakono ki te whenua ki mua i te aaka a Ihowa. Na ka mau ratou ki a Rakono, whakanohoia ake ana e ratou ki tona wahi ano.
4 Also they rose vp earely in the morning the next day, and beholde, Dagon was fallen vpon his face on the ground before the Arke of the Lord, and the head of Dagon and the two palmes of his hands were cut off vpon the thresholde: onely the stumpe of Dagon was left to him.
Na, i to ratou marangatanga ake i te ata tonu o tetahi ra, na kua taka a Rakono, kua tapapa ki te whenua ki mua i te aaka a Ihowa; a ko te matenga o Rakono me nga kapu e rua o ona ringa, e takoto mutu ana i runga i te paepae o te tatau; ko te tum utumu anake o Rakono i mahue ki a ia.
5 Therefore the Priests of Dagon, and all that come into Dagons house tread not on the thresholde of Dagon in Ashdod, vnto this day.
Koia nga tohunga o Rakono me te hunga katoa e haere ana ki te whare o Rakono te takahi ai ki runga ki te paepae o Rakono ki Aharoro, a mohoa noa nei.
6 But the hand of the Lord was heauie vpon them of Ashdod, and destroyed them, and smote them with the emerods, both Ashdod, and the coastes thereof.
Ka pehia ia nga Aharori e te ringa o Ihowa, a huna iho ratou e ia; i patua hoki ratou e ia ki te pukupuku, ara a Aharoro me ona rohe.
7 And when the men of Ashdod sawe this, they sayd, Let not the Arke of the God of Israel abide with vs: for his hand is sore vpon vs and vpon Dagon our god.
A, no te kitenga o nga tangata o Aharoro i taua meatanga, ka mea ratou, E kore te aaka a te Atua o Iharaira e noho ki a tatou; he uaua mai hoki tona ringa ki a tatou, ki to tatou atua hoki, ki a Rakono.
8 They sent therefore and gathered all the princes of the Philistims vnto them, and sayde, What shall we doe with the Arke of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the Arke of the God of Israel be caried about vnto Gath: and they caried the Arke of the God of Israel about.
Heoi ka unga tangata ratou hei huihui i nga rangatira katoa o nga Pirihitini ki a ratou. Na ka mea, Me aha matou ki te aaka a te Atua o Iharaira? A ka mea ratou, Me kawe te aaka a te Atua o Iharaira ki Kata. Na kawea ana e ratou te aaka a te Atua o Iharaira ki reira.
9 And when they had caried it about, the hand of the Lord was against the citie with a very great destruction, and he smote the men of the citie both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret partes.
A, no te kawenga atu, katahi ka pa te ringa o Ihowa ki te pa, nui atu te aitua; i patua hoki e ia nga tangata o te pa, te iti, te rahi, a whakaputaputa ana te pukupuku i runga i a ratou.
10 Therefore they sent the Arke of God to Ekron: and assoone as the Arke of God came to Ekron, the Ekronites cryed out, saying, They haue brought the Arke of the God of Israel to vs to slay vs and our people.
Na ka tukua e ratou te aaka a te Atua ki Ekerono. A, i te taenga atu te aaka a te Atua ki Ekerono, na ka karanga nga Ekeroni, ka mea, Kua kawea mai e ratou te aaka a te Atua o Iharaira ki a tatou, hei whakamate i a tatou, i to tatou iwi.
11 Therefore they sent, and gathered together all the princes of the Philistims and sayd, Sende away the Arke of the God of Israel, and let it returne to his owne place, that it slay vs not and our people: for there was a destruction and death throughout all the citie, and the hand of God was very sore there.
Koia ratou ka unga tangata atu, ka huihui i nga rangatira katoa o nga Pirihitini, a ka mea, Unga atu te aaka a te Atua o Iharaira kia whakahokia ki tona wahi, kei whakamatea matou me to matou iwi: he aitua whakamate hoki kei te pa katoa; he pehi rawa te ringa o te Atua ki reira.
12 And the men that dyed not, were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the citie went vp to heauen.
Na, ko nga tangata kihai i mate, i patua ki te pukupuku, a kake ana te aue o te pa ki te rangi.
