2. 大衮的庙——为这偶像建造了宏伟的庙宇。大衮是非利士人的主神,但其崇拜遍布全叙利亚,乃至美索不达米亚和迦勒底;在楔形文字铭文中,它的名字也见于亚述诸神之列[RAWLINSON]。它被塑造成人首、胸、臂与鱼腹、鱼尾相拼合的怪异形态。被掳的约柜就放在大衮庙中,正对着这偶像的像。
英文原文
2. the house of Dagon--Stately temples were erected in honor of this idol, which was the principal deity of the Philistines, but whose worship extended over all Syria, as well as Mesopotamia and Chaldea; its name being found among the Assyrian gods on the cuneiform inscriptions [RAWLINSON]. It was represented under a monstrous combination of a human head, breast, and arms, joined to the belly and tail of a fish. The captured ark was placed in the temple of Dagon, right before this image of the idol.

1Sa 5:3-5.
大衮仆倒。
3, 4. 亚实突人清早起来——他们发现愚昧敬拜的对象仆倒在神同在的象征之前,便惊恐万分。它被扶起后再度仆倒,并处于完全残缺的状态;它的头和手臂从躯干上被砍下,远隔各处,如同被猛烈抛弃,只剩鱼的部分留下。虽然前次祭司们掩盖了他们偶像的屈辱,这次却更加显明、更加羞辱。它以被征服之敌和恳求者的姿态躺着,这俯伏的景象显然宣告了以色列神的至高。
英文原文
1Sa 5:3-5.
DAGON FALLS DOWN.
3, 4. they of Ashdod arose early--They were filled with consternation when they found the object of their stupid veneration prostrate before the symbol of the divine presence. Though set up, it fell again, and lay in a state of complete mutilation; its head and arms, severed from the trunk, were lying in distant and separate places, as if violently cast off, and only the fishy part remained. The degradation of their idol, though concealed by the priests on the former occasion, was now more manifest and infamous. It lay in the attitude of a vanquished enemy and a suppliant, and this picture of humiliation significantly declared the superiority of the God of Israel.

5. 因此大衮的祭司和一切……都不踏大衮的门坎——一种迷信的仪式悄然兴起,并在神的护理下得以延续;非利士人借此竟协助宣扬了他们的神无能为力的证据。
直到今日——这惯例一直实行到本历史成书之时——大概是在撒母耳的晚年。
英文原文
5. Therefore neither the priests . . . nor any . . . tread on the threshold of Dagon--A superstitious ceremony crept in, and in the providence of God was continued, by which the Philistines contributed to publish this proof of the helplessness of their god.
unto this day--The usage continued in practice at the time when this history was written--probably in the later years of Samuel's life.

1Sa 5:6-12.
简体中文
1Sa 5:6-12.
非利士人 遭痔疮之灾。
6. 耶和华的手重重加在亚实突人身上——亚实突人的狂妄受到严厉刑罚的报应,这刑罚以瘟疫的形式临到他们。
用痔疮击打他们——即流血的痔疮、痔疾(Ps 78:66),且极其严重。异教徒通常把影响身体隐密处的疾病视为对他们所得罪之神的刑罚,因此亚实突人更容易把这场流行的瘟疫看作神之怒气的明证——这怒气已向他们的偶像显明。
英文原文
1Sa 5:6-12.
THE PHILISTINES ARE SMITTEN WITH EMERODS.
6. the hand of the Lord was heavy upon them of Ashdod--The presumption of the Ashdodites was punished by a severe judgment that overtook them in the form of a pestilence.
smote them with emerods--bleeding piles, hemorrhoids
(Ps 78:66),
in a very aggravated form. As the heathens generally regarded diseases affecting the secret parts of the body as punishments from the gods for trespasses committed against themselves, the Ashdodites would be the more ready to look upon the prevailing epidemic as demonstrating the anger of God, already shown against their idol.

7. the ark of God shall not abide with us--It was removed successively to several of the large towns of the country, but the same pestilence broke out in every place and raged so fiercely and fatally that the authorities were forced to send the ark back into the land of Israel
