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

¹Tak tedy Filištíni vzali truhlu Božiu a dopravili ju z Ében-ézera do Ašdóda.

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

²A Filištíni vezmúc truhlu Božiu dopravili ju do domu Dágonovho a postavili ju vedľa Dágona.

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.

³No, keď na druhý deň vstali Ašdóďania skoro ráno, hľa, Dágon ležal padlý, tvárou obrátený k zemi, pred truhlou Hospodinovou. A vzali Dágona a postavili ho zpät na jeho miesto.

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.

⁴Ale keď opät vstali skoro ráno, na druhý deň, hľa, Dágon zase ležal padlý, tvárou obrátený k zemi, pred truhlou Hospodinovou, a hlava Dágonova aj obe dlane jeho rúk boly odrazené na prahu, iba rybí driek Dágonov bol zostal na ňom.

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.

⁵Preto nestúpajú kňazi Dágonovi ani nikto z tých, ktorí vchádzajú do domu Dágonovho, na prah Dágonov v Ašdóde až do tohoto dňa.

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.

⁶A ruka Hospodinova ťažko doliehala na Ašdóďanov, a hubil ich a bil ich vredami, Ašdód a jeho okolie.

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.

⁷Keď videli mužovia Ašdóda, že je tak, povedali: Nebude bývať truhla Boha Izraelovho u nás, lebo jeho ruka tvrdo dolieha na nás i na Dágona, nášho boha.

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].

⁸A poslali posolstvo a shromaždili k sebe všetky kniežatá Filištínov a povedali: Čo urobíme s truhlou Boha Izraelovho? A odpovedali: Nech sa prenesie truhla Boha Izraelovho do Gáta. A tak preniesli truhlu Boha Izraelovho ta.

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.

⁹A stalo sa, keď ju preniesli, že ruka Hospodinova bola proti mestu a spôsobila veľmi veľké zdesenie, a Hospodin bil mužov toho mesta od malého až do veľkého a vyhadzovaly sa im aj vredy.

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.

¹⁰Preto poslali truhlu Božiu do Ekróna. A stalo sa, ako prišla truhla Božia do Ekróna, že začali kričať Ekróňania a vraveli: Dopravili k nám truhlu Boha Izraelovho, aby nás usmrtil i náš ľud!

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;

¹¹Preto poslali poslov a shromaždili všetky kniežatá Filištínov a povedali: Odošlite truhlu Boha Izraelovho, nech sa navráti na svoje miesto, aby neusmrtila i nás i nášho ľudu; pretože bolo smrteľné zdesenie v celom meste; bola tam ruka Božia veľmi ťažká.

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

¹²A mužovia, ktorí nepomreli, boli bití vredami, takže krik mesta vystupoval až do neba.
