置约柜于大衮庙

非利士人将神的约柜从以便以谢抬到亚实突 非利士人将神的约柜抬进大衮庙,放在大衮的旁边。 次日清早,亚实突人起来,见大衮仆倒在耶和华的约柜前,脸伏于地,就把大衮仍立在原处。 又次日清早起来,见大衮仆倒在耶和华的约柜前,脸伏于地,并且大衮的头和两手都在门槛上折断,只剩下大衮的残体。 因此,大衮的祭司和一切进亚实突大衮庙的人都不踏大衮庙的门槛,直到今日。

非利士人患痔

耶和华的手重重加在亚实突人身上,败坏他们,使他们生痔疮。亚实突亚实突的四境都是如此。 亚实突人见这光景,就说:“以色列神的约柜不可留在我们这里,因为他的手重重加在我们和我们神大衮的身上。” 就打发人去请非利士的众首领来聚集,问他们说:“我们向以色列神的约柜应当怎样行呢?”他们回答说:“可以将以色列神的约柜运到迦特去。”于是将以色列神的约柜运到那里去。 运到之后,耶和华的手攻击那城,使那城的人大大惊慌,无论大小都生痔疮。 10 他们就把神的约柜送到以革伦。神的约柜到了,以革伦人就喊嚷起来说:“他们将以色列神的约柜运到我们这里,要害我们和我们的众民!” 11 于是打发人去请非利士的众首领来,说:“愿你们将以色列神的约柜送回原处,免得害了我们和我们的众民。”原来神的手重重攻击那城,城中的人有因惊慌而死的, 12 未曾死的人都生了痔疮。合城呼号,声音上达于天。

约柜在非利士各城引起的灾害

非利士人抢去了 神的约柜,就把它从以便以谢运到亚实突。 非利士人抢去 神的约柜,把它抬进大衮庙,放在大衮神像的旁边。 第二天清早,亚实突人起来,看见大衮神像仆倒在地,俯伏在耶和华的约柜面前。他们就把大衮神像竖立起来,放回原处。 再次日早晨,他们起来的时候,看见大衮神像又仆倒在地,俯伏在耶和华的约柜面前,大衮的头和双手也都在门槛上折断了,只剩下大衮的身体。 因此大衮的祭司和所有进亚实突大衮庙的人,都不踏大衮庙的门槛,直到现在。

耶和华的手重重地压在亚实突人身上,败坏他们,用痔疮击打亚实突和亚实突四境的人。 亚实突人看见这种情形,就说:“以色列 神的约柜不可再留在我们这里,因为他的手重重地加在我们和我们的神大衮身上。” 他们就派人去召集非利士人各城的首领前来,问他们:“我们要怎样处理以色列 神的约柜呢?”他们回答:“把以色列 神的约柜运到迦特去吧。”他们就把它运到迦特去了。 运到那里以后,耶和华的手攻击那城,引起很大的恐慌。他击打全城的人,不分老幼,使痔疮在他们中间蔓延。 10 于是他们把 神的约柜送到以革伦。 神的约柜到了以革伦的时候,以革伦人就喊叫:“他们把以色列 神的约柜运到我们这里来,是要杀害我们和我们的人啊!” 11 于是他们派人去召集非利士人各城的首领前来,对他们说:“请把以色列 神的约柜送回原处,免得它杀害我们和我们的人民。”死亡的恐慌笼罩全城,因为 神的手重重地压在那里。 12 没有死的人都遭受痔疮的打击;那城的哀声,上达于天。

约柜在非利士人手中

非利士人将掳来的上帝的约柜从以便以谢抬到亚实突城, 把它抬进大衮庙,放在大衮神像旁边。 第二天早上,亚实突人起来,发现大衮神像倒在耶和华的约柜前,面伏于地,他们就把大衮神像扶起来,放回原处。 次日早上起来,他们又发现大衮神像倒在耶和华的约柜前,面伏于地,头和双手都在门槛处折断了,只剩下躯干。 因此,大衮的祭司和所有进亚实突 大衮庙的人至今都不踏庙的门槛。 耶和华重重地惩罚亚实突及附近村庄的居民,使他们都患上毒疮。 亚实突人见此情形,就说:“以色列上帝的约柜不能留在我们这里,因为上帝重重地惩罚我们和我们的大衮神。” 亚实突人召集了非利士所有的首领,问他们:“我们如何处理以色列上帝的约柜?”他们答道:“把它送到迦特去。”于是,众人把以色列上帝的约柜送到迦特。 约柜抵达迦特的时候,耶和华攻击那城,使那里的男女老少都患了毒疮,全城惊恐不已。 10 于是,他们把约柜送往以革伦。以革伦的人看见上帝的约柜到了,就惊叫道:“他们把以色列上帝的约柜带来是要害死我们和我们的人民!” 11 他们派人召集非利士的首领,说:“把以色列上帝的约柜送回原处吧,免得它杀害我们和我们的人民。”因为上帝重重地惩罚他们,全城都笼罩在死亡的恐惧中。 12 那些没有死的人都饱受毒疮的折磨,城中的哭喊声上达于天。

The Ark in Ashdod and Ekron

After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer(A) to Ashdod.(B) Then they carried the ark into Dagon’s temple and set it beside Dagon.(C) When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen(D) on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! They took Dagon and put him back in his place. But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! His head and hands had been broken(E) off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained. That is why to this day neither the priests of Dagon nor any others who enter Dagon’s temple at Ashdod step on the threshold.(F)

The Lord’s hand(G) was heavy on the people of Ashdod and its vicinity; he brought devastation(H) on them and afflicted them with tumors.[a](I) When the people of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, “The ark of the god of Israel must not stay here with us, because his hand is heavy on us and on Dagon our god.” So they called together all the rulers(J) of the Philistines and asked them, “What shall we do with the ark of the god of Israel?”

They answered, “Have the ark of the god of Israel moved to Gath.(K)” So they moved the ark of the God of Israel.

But after they had moved it, the Lord’s hand was against that city, throwing it into a great panic.(L) He afflicted the people of the city, both young and old, with an outbreak of tumors.[b] 10 So they sent the ark of God to Ekron.(M)

As the ark of God was entering Ekron, the people of Ekron cried out, “They have brought the ark of the god of Israel around to us to kill us and our people.” 11 So they called together all the rulers(N) of the Philistines and said, “Send the ark of the god of Israel away; let it go back to its own place, or it[c] will kill us and our people.” For death had filled the city with panic; God’s hand was very heavy on it. 12 Those who did not die(O) were afflicted with tumors, and the outcry of the city went up to heaven.
