1 Samuel 5
1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben-ezer to Ashdod.
Os philisteos pois tomaram a arca de Deus, e a trouxeram de Eben-ezer, a Asdod.
2 And the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
E tomaram os philisteos a arca de Deus, e a metteram na casa de Dagon. e a pozeram junto a Dagon.
3 And when they of Ashdod arose early the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
Levantando-se porém de madrugada os d'Asdod, no dia seguinte, eis que Dagon estava caido com o rosto em terra diante da arca do Senhor: e tomaram a Dagon, e tornaram a pôl-o no seu logar.
4 And when they arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the fish-stump was left to him.
E, levantando-se de madrugada no dia seguinte pela manhã, eis que Dagon jazia caido com o rosto em terra diante da arca do Senhor; e a cabeça de Dagon e ambas as palmas das suas mãos cortadas sobre o lumiar; sómente o tronco ficou a Dagon.
5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any that come into Dagon's house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
Pelo que nem os sacerdotes de Dagon, nem nenhum de todos os que entram na casa de Dagon pisam o lumiar de Dagon em Asdod, até ao dia d'hoje.
6 And the hand of Jehovah was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he laid them waste, and smote them with hemorrhoids, — Ashdod and its borders.
Porém a mão do Senhor se aggravou sobre os d'Asdod, e os assollou: e os feriu com hemorrhoidas, a Asdod e aos seus termos.
7 And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us; for his hand is severe upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
Vendo então os homens d'Asdod que assim foi, disseram: Não fique comnosco a arca do Deus de Israel; pois a sua mão é dura sobre nós, e sobre Dagon, nosso deus
8 And they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they said, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about to Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about [thither].
Pelo que enviaram e congregaram a si todos os principes dos philisteos, e disseram: Que faremos nós da arca do Deus d'Israel? E responderam: A arca do Deus d'Israel dará volta a Gath. Assim a rodearam com a arca do Deus de Israel.
9 And it came to pass that, after they had carried it about, the hand of Jehovah was against the city with very great panic; and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and hemorrhoids broke out upon them.
E succedeu que, desde que a rodearam com ella, a mão do Senhor veiu contra aquella cidade, com mui grande vexação: pois feriu aos homens d'aquella cidade, desde o pequeno até ao grande: e tinham hemorrhoidas nas partes secretas.
10 And they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, when the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people.
Então enviaram a arca de Deus a Ekron. Succedeu porém que, vindo a arca de Deus a Ekron, os de Ekron exclamaram, dizendo: Transportaram para mim a arca do Deus de Israel, para me matarem, a mim e ao meu povo.
11 And they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to its own place, that it kill us not, and our people. For there was deadly alarm throughout the city: the hand of God was very heavy there;
E enviaram, e congregaram a todos os principes dos philisteos, e disseram: Enviae a arca do Deus de Israel, e torne para o seu logar, para que não mate nem a mim nem ao meu povo. Porque havia mortal vexação em toda a cidade, e a mão de Deus muito se aggravara ali
12 and the men that died not were smitten with the hemorrhoids; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
E os homens que não morriam eram tão feridos com hemorrhoidas que o clamor da cidade subia até o céu.
