1 Samuel 5
1 Now the Philistines had captured the ark of God, and they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
Ita, inagaw dagiti Filisteo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios, ket manipud Ebenezer, impanda daytoy idiay Asdod.
2 The Philistines took the ark of God, brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it up beside Dagon.
Innala dagiti Filisteo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios, impanda iti balay ni Dagon, ket inyabayda daytoy iti estatua ni Dagon.
3 When the people of Ashdod got up early the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen facedown on the ground before the ark of Yahweh. So they took Dagon and set him up in his place again.
Iti kabigatanna a nasapa a bimmangon dagiti tattao iti Asdod, nakitada a natumba a nakapakleb ti estatua ni Dagon iti sangoanan ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh. Isu nga innalada ti estatua ni Dagon ket insublida manen iti sigud nga ayanna.
4 But when they got up early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen facedown on the ground before the ark of Yahweh. The head of Dagon and both of his hands were lying cut off in the doorway. Only the trunk of Dagon remained.
Ngem idi nasapada a bimmangon iti kabigatanna, nakitada manen a natumba a nakapakleb ti estatua ni Dagon iti sangoanan ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh. Naisina ti ulona ken dagiti imana ken naiwara dagitoy iti pagserkan. Ti laeng bagi ti estatua ni Dagon ti saan a naan-anu.
5 This is why, even today, the priests of Dagon and anyone who comes into Dagon's house does not step on the doorway of Dagon in Ashdod.
Daytoy ti gapuna nga uray kadagitoy nga aldaw, ket saan a bumaddek iti pagserkan ti balayna idiay Asdod dagiti papadi ni Dagon ken siasinoman a mapan iti balayna.
6 Yahweh's hand was heavy upon the people of Ashdod. He destroyed them and afflicted them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territories.
Nadagsen ti ima ni Yahweh kadagiti tattao ti Asdod. Dinadael ken pinarigatna ida babaen kadagiti letteg, ti Asdod ken dagiti masakupanna.
7 When the men of Ashdod realized what was happening, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel must not stay with us, because his hand is hard against us and against Dagon our god.”
Idi maamiris dagiti tattao ti Asdod ti mapaspasamak, kinunada, “Rumbeng a saan nga agtalinaed kadatayo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel, gapu ta napalalo ti panangdusdusana kadatayo ken ni Dagon a diostayo.”
8 So they sent for and gathered together all of the rulers of the Philistines; they said to them, “What should we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” They answered, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be brought around to Gath.” So they carried the ark of the God of Israel there.
Isu nga impaayab ken inummongda amin dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti Filisteo; kinunada kadakuada, “Ania ti rumbeng nga aramidentayo iti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel?” Insungbatda, “Ipanyo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel idiay Gat.” Ket impanda sadiay ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel.
9 But after they brought it around, Yahweh's hand was against the city, causing a very great confusion. He afflicted the men of the city, both small and great; and tumors broke out on them.
Ngem kalpasan a naipanda daytoy, dinusa ni Yahweh ti siudad, a nangparnuay iti napalalo unay a pannakariribuk. Pinarigatna dagiti tattao iti siudad, dagiti ubbing ken nataengan; ket naglettegda.
10 So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. But as soon as the ark of God came into Ekron, the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought to us the ark of the God of Israel to kill us and our people.”
Isu nga impatulodda ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios idiay Ekron. Ngem apaman a nakadanon ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios idiay Ekron, impukkaw dagiti Ekronita, a kunada, “Inyegda kadatayo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios ti Israel tapno patayennatayo ken dagiti tattaotayo.”
11 So they sent for and gathered together all of the rulers of the Philistines; they said to them, “Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return to its own place, so that it does not kill us and our people.” For there was a deathly panic throughout the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
Isu nga impaayab ken inummongda amin dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti Filisteo; kinunada kadakuada, “Ipanawyo ti lakasa ti Dios ti Israel, ket isubliyo iti sigud nga ayanna, tapno saannatayo a papatayen ken dagiti tattaotayo.” Ta adu unayen ti natay iti entero a siudad; nadagsen unay ti ima ti Dios sadiay.
12 The men who did not die were afflicted with the tumors, and the cry of the city went up to the heavens.
Dagiti tattao a saan a natay ket naparigat babaen kadagiti letteg, ket dimmanon kadagiti langlangit ti asug ti siudad.
