1Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
1Huchiin Philistia miten huai Pathian bawm a la ua, Ebenezer a kipan Asdod khua ah a paipih uh.
2The 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.
3When they of Ashdod arose early on the next day, behold, Dagon was fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Yahweh. 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.
4When they arose early on the next day morning, behold, Dagon was fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Yahweh; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold. Only Dagon’s torso was intact.
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 who 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.
6But the hand of Yahweh was heavy on them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and struck them with tumors, even 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.
7When the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel shall not stay with us; for his hand is severe on us, and on 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.
8They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” They answered, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried over to Gath.” They carried the ark of the God of Israel there.
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.
9It was so, that after they had carried it about, the hand of Yahweh was against the city with a very great confusion: and he struck the men of the city, both small and great; and tumors broke out on 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.
10So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. It happened, 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 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.
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 again to its own place, that it not kill us and our people.” For there was a deadly confusion throughout all 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.
12The men who didn’t die were struck with the tumors; 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.
