撒母耳记上 5
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
約櫃在非利士各城引起的災害
5 非利士人搶去了 神的約櫃,就把它從以便以謝運到亞實突。 2 非利士人搶去 神的約櫃,把它抬進大袞廟,放在大袞神像的旁邊。 3 第二天清早,亞實突人起來,看見大袞神像仆倒在地,俯伏在耶和華的約櫃面前。他們就把大袞神像豎立起來,放回原處。 4 再次日早晨,他們起來的時候,看見大袞神像又仆倒在地,俯伏在耶和華的約櫃面前,大袞的頭和雙手也都在門檻上折斷了,只剩下大袞的身體。 5 因此大袞的祭司和所有進亞實突大袞廟的人,都不踏大袞廟的門檻,直到現在。
6 耶和華的手重重地壓在亞實突人身上,敗壞他們,用痔瘡擊打亞實突和亞實突四境的人。 7 亞實突人看見這種情形,就說:“以色列 神的約櫃不可再留在我們這裡,因為他的手重重地加在我們和我們的神大袞身上。” 8 他們就派人去召集非利士人各城的首領前來,問他們:“我們要怎樣處理以色列 神的約櫃呢?”他們回答:“把以色列 神的約櫃運到迦特去吧。”他們就把它運到迦特去了。 9 運到那裡以後,耶和華的手攻擊那城,引起很大的恐慌。他擊打全城的人,不分老幼,使痔瘡在他們中間蔓延。 10 於是他們把 神的約櫃送到以革倫。 神的約櫃到了以革倫的時候,以革倫人就喊叫:“他們把以色列 神的約櫃運到我們這裡來,是要殺害我們和我們的人啊!” 11 於是他們派人去召集非利士人各城的首領前來,對他們說:“請把以色列 神的約櫃送回原處,免得它殺害我們和我們的人民。”死亡的恐慌籠罩全城,因為 神的手重重地壓在那裡。 12 沒有死的人都遭受痔瘡的打擊;那城的哀聲,上達於天。

The Ark in Ashdod and Ekron
5 After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer(A) to Ashdod.(B) 2 Then they carried the ark into Dagon’s temple and set it beside Dagon.(C) 3 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. 4 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. 5 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)
6 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) 7 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.” 8 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.
9 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.

The Philistines and the Ark
5 Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it (A)from Ebenezer to Ashdod. 2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of (B)Dagon[a] and set it by Dagon. 3 And when the people of Ashdod arose early in the morning, there was Dagon, (C)fallen on its face to the earth before the ark of the Lord. So they took Dagon and (D)set it in its place again. 4 And when they arose early the next morning, there was Dagon, fallen on its face to the ground before the ark of the Lord. (E)The head of Dagon and both the palms of its hands were broken off on the threshold; only [b]Dagon’s torso was left of it. 5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any who come into Dagon’s house (F)tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
6 But the (G)hand of the Lord was heavy on the people of Ashdod, and He (H)ravaged them and struck them with (I)tumors,[c] both Ashdod and its (J)territory. 7 And when the men of Ashdod saw how it was, they said, “The ark of the (K)God of Israel must not remain with us, for His hand is harsh toward us and Dagon our god.” 8 Therefore they sent and gathered to themselves all the (L)lords of the Philistines, 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 away to (M)Gath.” So they carried the ark of the God of Israel away. 9 So it was, after they had carried it away, that (N)the hand of the Lord was against the city with a very great destruction; and He struck the men of the city, both small and great, [d]and tumors broke out on them.
10 Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. So it was, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people!” 11 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 back to its own place, so that it does not kill us and our people.” For there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there. 12 And the men who did not die were stricken with the tumors, and the (O)cry of the city went up to heaven.
