< 1 Samuel 5 >

1 Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
Philistinnawk mah Sithaw ih thingkhong lak o ving pacoengah, Ebenezer vangpui hoiah Ashdoh vangpui ah caeh o haih.
2 The Philistines took it, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
Sithaw ih thingkhong to lak o pacoengah, Dagon tempul thungah, Dagon taengah suek o.
3 And the Ashdodites rose early on the next day, and look, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of Jehovah. So they raised up Dagon and set him in his place again.
Ashdoh vangpui ih kaminawk khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk o naah loe, khenah, Dagon loe amtimh moe, a mikhmai hoiah Angraeng thingkhong hmaa ih long to daeng mong. Nihcae mah Dagon to pathawk o moe, a ohhaih ahmuen ah suek o let.
4 And it happened when they arose early the next morning, look, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of Jehovah; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold. Only Dagon's torso was intact.
Toe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk o naah loe, khenah, Dagon ih mikhmai mah Angraeng ih thingkhong hmaa ah kaom long to daeng mong let bae; Dagon ih lu hoi a bannawk to angkhaeh moe, khongkha taengah anghaeh phang; a taak pum khue to oh sut.
5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any who come into Dagon's house, step on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod, to this day.
To pongah Dagon ih qaimanawk hoi Dagon tempul ah kacaeh kaminawk boih mah vaihni ni khoek to Ashdoh vangpui ah kaom Dagon tempul ih khongkha to cawh o ai.
6 But the hand of Jehovah was heavy on the Ashdodites, and he ravaged them and afflicted them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territory. And he brought up against them mice, and they burst out in their ships, and mice sprang up in the midst of their land, and there was a great terror of death in the city.
Angraeng mah Ashdoh kaminawk hoi to prae thungah kaom kaminawk to kazit angmah ih ban hoi roe ah paro pae; Ashdoh vangpui ah kaom kaminawk to ahlut nathaih hoiah dan a paek.
7 When the men of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, "The ark of God shall not stay with us; for his hand is severe on us, and on Dagon our god."
To tiah kaom hmuen to Ashdoh ih kaminawk mah hnuk o naah, Israel Sithaw ih Sithaw thingkhong loe, aicae hoi nawnto oh han om ai; anih ih ban loe aicae hoi aicae ih sithaw Dagon nuiah paroeai azit, tiah a thuih o.
8 So they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said, "What shall we do with the ark of God?" Then the Gittites answered, "Let the ark of God be carried over to us." So they brought the ark of God to Gath.
To pongah Philistin ukkungnawk boih to kawk moe, Israel kaminawk ih Sithaw thingkhong hae kawbangmaw a sak o han? tiah a naa o. To naah nihcae mah, Israel Sithaw ih thingkhong loe Gath ah thak oh, tiah pathim pae o; to pongah Israel kaminawk Sithaw ih thingkhong to ah a thak o.
9 And it came about that after they had brought it around, the hand of Jehovah was against the city with a very great confusion: and he struck the men of the city, both small and great; and tumors broke out on them.
Toe Sithaw thingkhong thak o pacoengah, Angraeng ih ban mah to vangpui thungah kalen parai amrohaih to phaksak; vangpui thung ih kaminawk loe nawkta doeh mitong doeh ahlut nathaih to phaksak boih.
10 So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. It happened, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, "Why have you brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people?"
To pongah nihcae mah Sithaw ih thingkhong to Ekkron vangpui ah thak o. Sithaw ih thingkhong Ekkron vangpui thungah akun naah, Aicae hoi aicae ih kaminawk hum hanah, Israel kaminawk Sithaw ih thingkhong to aicae khaeah thak o boeh, tiah Ekkron vangpui ih kaminawk mah hang o.
11 And they sent 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, so that it will not kill us and our people." For there was a panic throughout all the city when the ark of God arrived there.
To pongah Philistin ukkung angraengnawk to kawk hanah kami to patoeh o moe, Israel kaminawk Sithaw ih thingkhong mah, aicae hoi aicae ih kaminawk to hum han ai ah, thak o ving lai ah; angmah ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh let nasoe; Angraeng ih ban loe azit parai pongah, vangpui boih kadueh thaih nathaih hoiah koi boeh.
12 The men who did not die were struck with the tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
Dueh ai ah kaloih kaminawk to ahlut nathaih phaksak moe, vangpui thung ih kaminawk hanghaih lok loe van khoek to phak boeh, tiah a naa o.
