Pirmā Samuela 5
1 Un Fīlisti paņēma Dieva šķirstu un to noveda no Eben-Ecera uz Ašdodu.
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben–ezer unto Ashdod.
2 Un Fīlisti paņēma Dieva šķirstu un to noveda Dagona namā un nolika Dagonam blakām.
When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
3 Bet kad Ašdodas ļaudis otrā rītā agri cēlās, redzi, tad Dagons uz savu vaigu bija zemē nokritis Tā Kunga šķirsta priekšā, un tie ņēma Dagonu un to atkal uzcēla savā vietā.
And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of Yhwh. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
4 Kad tie nu otrā rītā atkal agri cēlās, redzi, tad Dagons uz savu vaigu bija zemē nokritis Tā Kunga šķirsta priekšā, un Dagona galva un viņa abas rokas bija nolūzušas un gulēja uz sliekšņa, ka tas zivju tēls vien pie tā atlikās.
And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of Yhwh; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
5 Tādēļ Dagona priesteri un visi, kas iet Dagona namā, nemin uz Dagona slieksni Ašdodā līdz šai dienai.
Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon’s house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day.
6 Un Tā Kunga roka bija grūta pār Ašdodas ļaudīm un Viņš tos postīja un sita ar augoņiem, Ašdodu un viņas robežas.
But the hand of Yhwh was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof.
7 Kad nu Ašdodas vīri redzēja, ka tas tā notika, tad tie sacīja: lai Israēla Dieva šķirsts pie mums nepaliek; jo Viņa roka ir grūta pār mums un pār mūsu dievu Dagonu.
And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
8 Tāpēc tie sūtīja un sapulcināja visus Fīlistu lielkungus un sacīja: ko darīsim ar Israēla Dieva šķirstu? Tad tie sacīja: lai Israēla Dieva šķirsts top nests uz Gatu. Tā tie aiznesa Israēla Dieva šķirstu.
They sent therefore and gathered 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 carried about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about thither.
9 Kad tie nu viņu bija aiznesuši, tad Tā Kunga roka pār to pilsētu nāca ar varen lielu iztrūcināšanu, jo Viņš sita tās pilsētas ļaudis, gan mazus gan lielus, un pie tiem izcēlās augoņi.
And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of Yhwh was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts.
10 Tad tie Dieva šķirstu sūtīja uz Ekronu, un notikās, kad Dieva šķirsts uz Ekronu nāca, tad Ekrona brēca un sacīja: tie Israēla Dieva šķirstu pie manis atveduši, mani un manus ļaudis nokaut.
Therefore they sent 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 brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people.
11 Un tie sūtīja un sapulcināja visus Fīlistu lielkungus un sacīja: sūtat Israēla Dieva šķirstu projām, lai tas tiek atpakaļ savā vietā un nenokauj mani un manus ļaudis. Jo nāves bailes bija ikkatrā pilsētā, un Dieva roka tur bija ļoti grūta.
So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
12 Un tie ļaudis, kas nenomira, tapa sisti ar augoņiem, tā ka tās pilsētas kliegšana cēlās pret debesīm.
And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
