And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Abenezer to Azotus.

¹

И$ взя'ша же и^ноплеме'нницы кїѓ'тъ бж~їи, і^ и^знесо'ша е^го эT а^венезе'ра въ а^затоn”

²

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

²

И$ прїе'мши и^ноплеме'нницы кїиѓ'тъ гн~ь, и^ внесоша и& въ хра'мъ даго'нь, и^ поста'виша и& ё^ дагона”

³

And the people of Azotus rose early, and entered into the house of Dagon; and looked, and behold, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the Lord: and they lifted up Dagon, and set him in his place. And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon the Azotians, and he plagued them, and he smote them in their secret parts, Azotus and her coasts.

³

И$ ѓ^бъё^тренева'вше а^зо'ты наё%трїе, и^ внидо'ша въ хра'мъ даго'нь, и^ ё^ви'дњша и^ с^е даго'нъ быs спа'лъся на землю на лице` свое преD кїѓ%томъ бж~їимъ, и^ въздвиго'ша даго'на, и^ поста'виша и& на мњстњ е^го”

⁴

And it came to pass when they rose early in the morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off each before the threshold, and both the wrists of his hands had fallen on the floor of the porch; only the stump of Dagon was left.

⁴

И$ па'ки воста'ша заё%тра и^ ё^ви'дњша и^ с^е дагоn лежа'ше лицеM на земли` преD кїѓ'томъ бж~їимъ, гла'ва же даго'нова и^ ѓ'бњ дла'ни рђкђ е^го эTсњко'шася на пра'гђ, толи'ко хребетъ даго'новъ ѓ^ста` на мњ'сте своеM”

⁵

Therefore the priests of Dagon, and every one that enters into the house of Dagon, do not tread upon the threshold of the house of Dagon in Azotus until this day, for they step over.

⁵

И$ сего ради не стђпа'ше жеръцы даго'новы, и^ вс^и въходя'щїи въ хра'мъ даго'новъ, на пра'гъ даго'новъ, въ а^зоте даже до дне'сь”

⁶

And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon Azotus, and he brought evil upon them, and it burst out upon them into the ships, and mice sprang up in the midst of their country, and there was a great and indiscriminate mortality in the city.

⁶

И$ ѓ^тя'гча` рђка` гн~я на а^зоты, и^ мђчи я& и^ поби я& въ вла'стехъ а^зо'тъскихъ, и^ предњлы и^хъ, и^ посредњ` земля` иX ё^мно'жишася мђхы, и^ бы'сть смђще'нїе смр~ти вели'ко въ' градњ”

⁷

And the men of Azotus saw that it was so, and they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us, for his hand is heavy upon us and upon Dagon our god.

⁷

И$ ви'дњша мђ'жи а^зо'тъстїи, ја^кота'ко бы'сть, и^ гл~аша, ја^ко да не пребђ'деT кїѓ'тъ б~а і^и^л~ева с на'ми, ја%ко лю'та рђка` е^го, на' ны и^ на даго'на б~а на'шеh”

⁸

And they send and gather the lords of the Philistines to them, and say, What shall we do to the ark of the God of Israel? and the Gittites say, Let the ark of God come over to us; and the ark of the God of Israel came to Geth.

⁸

И$ посла'вше събра'ша вс^я вое^воды и^ноплеме'нникъ а^зо'т#стїи къ себњ, и^ гл~аша чт^о сътвори'мъ кїѓ%тђ б~а і^и^л~ева, и^ рњша геџ#фе'и, да пре'идеT кїѓ%тъ б~а і^и^л~ева к наM въ геџъ, и^ прїиде кїѓ^тъ б~а і^и^л~ева въ геg”

⁹

And it came to pass after it went about to Geth, that the hand of the Lord comes upon the city, a very great confusion; and he smote the men of the city small and great, and smote them in their secret parts: and the Gittites made to themselves images of emerods.

⁹

И$ бысть по пришествїи е^го, и^ бы'сть рђка гн~я на гра'дњ и^ мя'теQ ве'лїи ѕњло бы'сть и^ порази` мђ'жи гра'да, эT мала до ве'ли'ка, и^ порази иX въ ѓ%бластеX и^хъ” И$ сътвори'ша геџ#фе'и себ'њ сњдњнїа зла'ты

¹⁰

And they send away the ark of God to Ascalon; and it came to pass when the ark of God went into Ascalon, that the men of Ascalon cried out, saying, Why have ye brought back the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people?

¹⁰

и^ пђсти'ша кїѓ%тъ бж~їи въ а^скало'нъ, и^ бысть ја%ко въни'де киѓT б~а і^и^л~ева въ а^скало'нъ, и^ возопи'ша а^скалони'тяне гл~юще, почто` възврати'сте кїѓ'тъ б~а і^и^л~ева к наM, ё^мори'ти н^ы, и^ люди на'ша”

¹¹

And they send and gather the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it lodge in its place; and let it not slay us and our people.

¹¹

И$ посла'ша и^ събра'ша вс^я во'я и^ноплеме'нникъ, и^ рњша по'слете киѓ'тъ б~а і^и^л~ева, и^ да поста'вится на мњстњ свое^мъ, и^ да не ё^мори'тъ на'съ и^ людїи на'шихъ, ја%ко бы'сть мятежъ смр~ти въ всњ'хъ гра'дњхъ тя'жокъ ѕњло, ја%ко вни'де кїѓ%тъ б~а і^и^л~ева т^ђ”

¹²

For there was a very great confusion in all the city, when the ark of the God of Israel entered there; and those who lived and died not were smitten with emerods; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

¹²

И$ живђщїи и^ не ё^мръшїи, ё^ја%звишася на се'лњхъ, и^ възы'де во'пль граDныи до нб~си”
