1 Samuel 5
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Eben-ezer unto Ashdod.
1非利士 人將上帝的 約 櫃從 以便以謝 抬到 亞實突 。
2And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
2非利士 人將上帝的 約 櫃抬進 大袞 廟，放在 大袞 的旁邊。
3And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
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。
4And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands lay cut off upon the threshold; only the trunk of Dagon was left to him.
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 。（
5Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day.
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。）
6But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and He destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the borders thereof.
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。
7And 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.'
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」；
8They 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.
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。
9And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great discomfiture; and He smote the men of the city, both small and great, and emerods broke out upon them.
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。
10So 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.'
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！」
11They sent therefore 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 back to its own place, that it slay us not, and our people'; for there was a deadly discomfiture throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
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；
12And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
12未曾死的人都生了痔瘡。合城呼號，聲音上達於天。
