ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૫:૯
પણ તેઓ તેને ત્યાં લઈ ગયા પછી, ઈશ્વર તેઓના પર કોપાયમાન થયા. તેમણે તે નગરનાં નાનાં મોટાં માણસો પર કેર વર્તાવ્યો; તેઓનાં અંગ પર ગાંઠો ફૂટી નીકળી.
हिन्दी1 शमूएल ५:९
जब वे उसको घुमाकर वहाँ पहुँचे, तो यूँ हुआ कि यहोवा का हाथ उस नगर के विरुद्ध ऐसा उठा कि उसमें अत्यन्त बड़ी हलचल मच गई; और उसने छोटे से बड़े तक उस नगर के सब लोगों को मारा, और उनके गिलटियाँ निकलने लगीं।

In context

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.”

8They 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.

9It was so, that after they had carried it there, the LORD’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.

10So 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.”

11They 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.
