• Newari: “Seeing what had been happening to them, the people of Asdod said, "The God of Israel has been punishing us and our god Dagon. Since it is like that, it is not good to keep the ark of God’s covenant here with us any longer."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “When- the-(ones) from-Ashdod saw what was-happening, they said, ‘The Box of the God of Israel must not stay here with us (incl.) because he is- punishing us (incl.) and Dagon our (incl.) god.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “The men of Ashdod realized why this was happening, and they cried out, ‘The god of the Israeli people is punishing us and is also punishing our god Dagon. So we cannot allow the sacred chest of the god of the Israelis to remain here!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
