撒母耳記上 5
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1非利士 人將上帝的 約 櫃從 以便以謝 抬到 亞實突 。
1Now the Philistines had taken God’s ark, and they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
2非利士 人將上帝的 約 櫃抬進 大袞 廟，放在 大袞 的旁邊。
2The Philistines took God’s ark, and brought it into the house of Dagon and set it by Dagon.
3次日清早， 亞實突 人起來，見 大袞 仆倒在耶和華的 約 櫃前，臉伏於地，就把 大袞 仍立在原處。
3When the people of Ashdod arose early on the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the LORD’s ark. They took Dagon and set him in his place again.
4又次日清早起來，見 大袞 仆倒在耶和華的 約 櫃前，臉伏於地，並且 大袞 的頭和兩手都在門檻上折斷，只剩下 大袞 的 殘體 。（
4When they arose early on the following morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the LORD’s ark; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold. Only Dagon’s torso was intact.
5因此， 大袞 的祭司和一切進 亞實突 、 大袞 廟的人都不踏 大袞 廟的門檻，直到今日。）
5Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any who come into Dagon’s house step on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
6耶和華的手重重加在 亞實突 人身上，敗壞他們，使他們生痔瘡。 亞實突 和 亞實突 的四境都是如此。
6But the LORD’s hand was heavy on the people of Ashdod, and he destroyed them and struck them with tumors, even Ashdod and its borders.
7亞實突 人見這光景，就說：「 以色列 上帝的 約 櫃不可留在我們這裏，因為他的手重重加在我們和我們神 大袞 的身上」；
7When the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel shall not stay with us, for his hand is severe on us and on Dagon our god.”
8就打發人去請 非利士 的眾首領來聚集，問他們說：「我們向 以色列 上帝的 約 櫃應當怎樣行呢？」他們回答說：「可以將 以色列 上帝的 約 櫃運到 迦特 去。」於是將 以色列 上帝的 約 櫃運到那裏去。
8They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” They answered, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried over to Gath.” They carried the ark of the God of Israel there.
9運到之後，耶和華的手攻擊那城，使那城的人大大驚慌，無論大小都生痔瘡。
9It was so, that after they had carried it there, the LORD’s hand was against the city with a very great confusion; and he struck the men of the city, both small and great, so that tumors broke out on them.
10他們就把上帝的 約 櫃送到 以革倫 。上帝的 約 櫃到了， 以革倫 人就喊嚷起來說：「他們將 以色列 上帝的 約 櫃運到我們這裏，要害我們和我們的眾民！」
10So they sent God’s ark to Ekron. As God’s ark came to Ekron, the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought the ark of the God of Israel here to us, to kill us and our people.”
11於是打發人去請 非利士 的眾首領來，說：「願你們將 以色列 上帝的 約 櫃送回原處，免得害了我們和我們的眾民！」原來上帝的手重重攻擊那城，城中的人有因驚慌而死的；
11They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, “Send the ark of the God of Israel away, and let it go again to its own place, that it not kill us and our people.” For there was a deadly panic throughout all the city. The hand of God was very heavy there.
12未曾死的人都生了痔瘡。合城呼號，聲音上達於天。
12The men who didn’t die were struck with the tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
