Notes on this text (1)
- Ezra and Nehemiah form one book (2 Esdras) in this edition; the reader shows them as Ezra 1–10 and Nehemiah 1–13.
1 Καὶ ἀλλόφυλοι ἔλαβον τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ εἰσήνεγκαν αὐτὴν ἐξ Ἀβενεζὲρ εἰς Ἄζωτον.
1 Now the Philistines had taken God’s ark, and they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
2 Καὶ ἔλαβον ἀλλόφυλοι τὴν κιβωτὸν Κυρίου, καὶ εἰσήνεγκαν αὐτὴν εἰς οἴκον Δαγὼν, καὶ παρέστησαν αὐτὴν παρὰ Δαγών.
2 The Philistines took God’s ark, and brought it into the house of Dagon and set it by Dagon.
3 Καὶ ὤρθρισαν οἱ Ἀζώτιοι, καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς οἶκον Δαγών· καὶ εἶδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ Δαγὼν πεπτωκὼς ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον κιβωτοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ ἤγειραν τὸν Δαγὼν, καὶ κατέστησαν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐβαρύνθη χεὶρ Κυρίου ἐπὶ τοὺς Ἀζωτίους, καὶ ἐβασάνισεν αὐτούς· καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς ἕδρας αὐτῶν, τὴν Ἄζωτον καὶ τὰ ὅρια αὐτῆς.
3 When the people of Ashdod arose early on the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before Yahweh’s ark. They took Dagon and set him in his place again.
4 Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ὤρθρισαν τοπρωῒ, καὶ ἰδοὺ Δαγὼν, πεπτωκὼς ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον κιβωτοῦ διαθήκης Κυρίου· καὶ κεφαλὴ Δαγὼν καὶ ἀμφότερα τὰ ἴχνη χειρῶν αὐτοῦ ἀφῃρημένα ἐπὶ τὰ ἐμπρόσθια ἁμαφὲθ ἕκαστοι, καὶ ἀμφότεροι οἱ καρποὶ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ πεπτωκότες ἐπὶ τὸ πρόθυρον, πλὴν ἡ ῥάχις Δαγὼν ὑπελείφθη.
4 When they arose early on the following morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before Yahweh’s ark; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold. Only Dagon’s torso was intact.
5 Διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἐπιβαίνουσιν οἱ ἱερεῖς Δαγὼν, καὶ πᾶς ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος εἰς οἶκον Δαγὼν, ἐπὶ βαθμὸν οἴκου Δαγὼν ἐν Ἀζώτῳ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης, ὅτι ὑπερβαίνοντες ὑπερβαίνουσι.
5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any who come into Dagon’s house step on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
6 Καὶ ἐβαρύνθη ἡ χεὶρ Κυρίου ἐπὶ Ἄζωτον, καὶ ἐπήγαγεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐξέζεσεν αὐτοῖς εἰς τὰς ναῦς, καὶ μέσον τῆς χώρας αὐτῆς ἀνεφύησαν μύες· καὶ ἐγένετο σύγχυσις θανάτου μεγάλη ἐν τῇ πόλει.
6 But Yahweh’s hand was heavy on the people of Ashdod, and he destroyed them and struck them with tumors, even Ashdod and its borders.
7 Καὶ εἶδον οἱ ἄνδρες Ἀζώτου ὅτι οὕτως, καὶ λέγουσιν, ὅτι οὐ καθήσεται κιβωτὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ μεθʼ ἡμῶν, ὅτι σκληρὰ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ Δαγὼν θεὸν ἡμῶν.
7 When 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.”
8 Καὶ ἀποστέλλουσι καὶ συνάγουσι τοὺς σατράπας τῶν ἀλλοφύλων πρὸς αὐτοὺς, καὶ λέγουσι, τί ποιήσωμεν τῇ κιβωτῷ Θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ; καὶ λέγουσιν οἱ Γεθαῖοι, μετελθέτω κιβωτὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ πρὸς ἡμᾶς· καὶ μετῆλθε κιβωτὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Γέθ.
8 They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, 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.
9 Καὶ ἐγενήθη μετὰ τὸ μετελθεῖν αὐτὴν, καὶ γίνεται χεὶρ Κυρίου τῇ πόλει, τάραχος μέγας σφόδρα· καὶ ἐπάταξε τοὺς ἄνδρας τῆς πόλεως ἀπὸ μικροῦ ἕως μεγάλου, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς ἕδρας αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ Γεθαῖοι ἑαυτοῖς ἕδρας.
9 It was so, that after they had carried it there, Yahweh’s hand was against the city with a very great confusion; and he struck the men of the city, both small and great, so that tumors broke out on them.
10 Καὶ ἐξαποστέλλουσι τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς Ἀσκάλωνα· καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς εἰσῆλθε κιβωτὸς Θεοῦ εἰς Ἀσκάλωνα, καὶ ἐβόησαν οἱ Ἀσκαλωνῖται, λέγοντες, τί ἀπεστρέψατε τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς ἡμᾶς θανατῶσαι ἡμᾶς καὶ τὸν λαὸν ἡμῶν;
10 So they sent God’s ark to Ekron. As God’s ark came to Ekron, the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought the ark of the God of Israel here to us, to kill us and our people.”
11 Καὶ ἐξαποστέλλουσι καὶ συνάγουσι τοὺς σατράπας τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ εἶπον, ἐξαποστείλατε τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ καθισάτω εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐ μὴ θανατώσῃ ἡμᾶς καὶ τὸν λαὸν ἡμῶν· Ὅτι ἐγενήθη σύγχυσις ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ πόλει βαρεῖα σφόδρα, ὡς εἰσῆλθεν κιβωτὸς Θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐκεῖ.
11 They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, “Send the ark of the God of Israel away, and let it go again to its own place, that it not kill us and our people.” For there was a deadly panic throughout all the city. The hand of God was very heavy there.
12 καὶ οἱ ζῶντες καὶ οὐκ ἀποθανόντες ἐπλήγησαν εἰς τὰς ἕδρας· καὶ ἀνέβη ἡ κραυγὴ τῆς πόλεως εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.
12 The men who didn’t die were struck with the tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
