¹And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben-ezer to Ashdod.

¹Huchiin Philistia miten huai Pathian bawm a la ua, Ebenezer a kipan Asdod khua ah a paipih uh.

²And the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.

²Huan, Philistia miten Pathian bawm a la ua, Dagon biakin ah a lalut ua, Dagon kiangah a koih uh.

³And when they of Ashdod arose early the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.

³Huan, Asdod khua a mite ajing jingpia a thoh uleh, ngaiin, Toupabawm maah Dagon bel a maia lei siin a napuk vilvial mawk hi. Huan, Dagon a la ua, a omna munah a koih nawn uh.

⁴And when they arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the fish-stump was left to him.

⁴Huan, ajing nawn jingpia a thoh uleh, ngaiin, TOUPA bawm maah Dagon a maia lei siin a napuk vilvial mawka; huan, Dagon lu leh a khutpek bawm langnih kitan khia kongpi bulah a nakikham maimah a.

⁵Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any that come into Dagon's house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.

⁵Huaijiakin Dagon siampu hiam, Dagon biakina hongpai sekte himhimin leng Asdod khuaa Dagon kongpi bul tu tanin a sik ngam kei uhi.

⁶And the hand of Jehovah was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he laid them waste, and smote them with hemorrhoids, -- Ashdod and its borders.

⁶Huchiin TOUPA khutin Asdod khua mite a delh mahmahta a, siatna a tungsaktaa, Asdod khua leh a kiangvel khawngte jangtanin a gawtta hi.

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 severe upon us, and upon Dagon our god.

⁷Huchiin Asdod khuaa miten huchibang a hih a najak un, Israelte Pathian bawm I kiang uah om gige kei leh, I tung leh I pathian Dagon tunga a khutkhak a na tel mai, a chi ua.

⁸And they sent 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 said, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about to Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about [thither].

⁸Huchiin Philistia hausate tengteng a kiang uah a sam khawm ua, Israelte Pathian bawm pen bangchiin I hih ding ua? A chi ua. Huan, amau, Israelte Pathian pen Gath khua a vahohpih un, chiin a dawng ua: huchiin Israelte Pathian bawm a vahohpihta uh.

⁹And it came to pass that, after they had carried it about, the hand of Jehovah was against the city with very great panic; and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and hemorrhoids broke out upon them.

⁹Huan, hichi a honghia, huchia a paipih lai un TOUPA khutin huai khua a hihbuai gawptaa: khuaa mihingte alian aneuin a gawt a, jangtan hi a tunguah a lengsak hi.

¹⁰And they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, when 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 kill us and our people.

¹⁰Huchiin Pathian bawm Ekron a vatunga, Ekron khuaa mite bel, Israelte Pathian bawm eite leh I mite hihlum dingin I kiang uah a hon lata uh, chiin a kikou vengvung uh.

¹¹And they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to its own place, that it kill us not, and our people. For there was deadly alarm throughout the city: the hand of God was very heavy there;

¹¹Huchiin Philistia hausate tengteng a sam khawm ua, Israelte Pathian paimangsak unla, koute leh ka mite a honhihlup louhna dingin a omna mun ngeiah pai nawn heh, a chi ua. Kho pumpi ah sihna khopa buai gawpna a om hi: Pathian khutin lah huai khua a delh mahmah ngala.Huan, a silouten jangtan a vei chiat ua, huai kho kikou husain tunga van a pha hi.

¹²and the men that died not were smitten with the hemorrhoids; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

¹²Huan, a silouten jangtan a vei chiat ua, huai kho kikou husain tunga van a pha hi.
