< 1 Samuel 5 >

1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben-ha'ezer unto Ashdod.
A Filisteji uzeše kovèeg Božji, i odnesoše iz Even-Ezera u Azot.
2 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
I uzevši Filisteji kovèeg Božji unesoše ga u dom Dagonov, i namjestiše ga do Dagona.
3 And when the people of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was lying upon his face on the earth before the ark of the Lord. And they took Dagon, and set him again in his place.
A sjutradan kad ustaše Azoæani rano, a to Dagon ležaše nièice na zemlji pred kovèegom Gospodnjim; i oni uzeše Dagona i metnuše ga opet na njegovo mjesto.
4 And when they arose early on the morning of the following day, behold, Dagon was lying upon his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the fish portion was left on him.
A kad sjutradan rano ustaše, gle, opet Dagon ležaše nièice na zemlji pred kovèegom Gospodnjim, a glava Dagonu i obje ruke otsjeèene bijahu na pragu; samo trup od Dagona bješe ostao.
5 Therefore do the priests of Dagon, and all that come into Dagon's house, not step on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod even until this day.
Zato sveštenici Dagonovi i koji god ulaze u dom Dagonov ne staju na prag Dagonov u Azotu do danas.
6 And the hand of the Lord became heavy upon the people of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with hemorrhoids, even Ashdod and its territory.
Tada oteža ruka Gospodnja Azoæanima, i moraše ih i udaraše ih šuljevima u Azotu i meðama njegovijem.
7 And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not remain with us; for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our God.
A kad Azoæani vidješe šta je, rekoše: da ne stoji kod nas kovèeg Boga Izrailjeva; jer je ruka njegova teška nad nama i nad Dagonom bogom našim.
8 And they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines unto 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 removed unto Gath. And they removed the ark of the God of Israel thither.
I poslaše, te sabraše k sebi sve knezove Filistejske, i rekoše im: što æemo èiniti s kovèegom Boga Izrailjeva? A oni rekoše: da se prenese u Gat kovèeg Boga Izrailjeva. I prenesoše kovèeg Boga Izrailjeva.
9 And it happened, after they had removed it, that the hand of the Lord was against the city with a very great confusion; and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had hemorrhoids in their secret parts.
A kad ga prenesoše, bi ruka Gospodnja na gradu s mukom vrlo velikom, i stade biti graðane od maloga do velikoga, i doðoše na njih tajni šuljevi.
10 And they sent away 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 removed to us the ark of the God of Israel, to slay us and our people.
Zato poslaše kovèeg Božji u Akaron; a kad doðe kovèeg Božji u Akaron, povikaše Akaronjani govoreæi: donesoše k nama kovèeg Boga Izrailjeva da pomori nas i naš narod.
11 So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, that it may return to its own place, so that it may not slay us, and our people; for there was a confusion of death throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
Zato poslaše, te sabraše sve knezove Filistejske, i rekoše: pošljite kovèeg Boga Izrailjeva neka se vrati na svoje mjesto, da ne pomori nas i naroda našega. Jer bijaše smrtan strah po cijelom gradu, i vrlo teška bijaše ruka Gospodnja ondje.
12 And the people that did not die were smitten with the hemorrhoids; and the lamentation of the city went up to heaven.
Jer ljudi koji ostajahu živi bolovahu od šuljeva tako da se vika u gradu podizaše do neba.
