< 1 Samuel 5 >

1 And [the] Philistines they took [the] ark of God and they brought it from Eben-ezer Ashdod towards.
I Filistei, dunque, presero l’arca di Dio, e la trasportarono da Eben-Ezer a Asdod;
2 And they took [the] Philistines [the] ark of God and they brought it [the] house of Dagon and they placed it beside Dagon.
presero l’arca di Dio, la portarono nella casa di Dagon, e la posarono allato a Dagon.
3 And they rose early [the] Ashdodites from [the] next day and there! Dagon [was] fallen to face its [the] ground towards before [the] ark of Yahweh and they took Dagon and they returned it to place its.
E il giorno dopo, gli Asdodei alzatisi di buon’ora trovarono Dagon caduto con la faccia a terra, davanti all’arca dell’Eterno. Presero Dagon e lo rimisero al suo posto.
4 And they rose early in the morning from [the] next day and there! Dagon [was] fallen to face its [the] ground towards before [the] ark of Yahweh and [the] head of Dagon and [the] two - [the] palms of hands its were cut off to the threshold only Dagon it remained on it.
Il giorno dopo, alzatisi di buon’ora, trovarono che Dagon era di nuovo caduto con la faccia a terra, davanti all’Arca dell’Eterno; la testa e ambedue le mani di Dagon giacevano mozzate sulla soglia, e non gli restava più che il tronco.
5 There-fore not they tread [the] priests of Dagon and all those [who] go [the] house of Dagon on [the] threshold of Dagon in Ashdod until the day this.
Perciò, fino al dì d’oggi, i sacerdoti di Dagon e tutti quelli che entrano nella casa di Dagon a Asdod non pongono il piede sulla soglia.
6 And it was heavy [the] hand of Yahweh against the Ashdodites and he devastated them and he struck them (with tumors *Q(K)*) Ashdod and territories its.
Poi la mano dell’Eterno si aggravò su quei di Asdod, portò fra loro la desolazione, e li colpì di emorroidi, a Asdod e nel suo territorio.
7 And they saw [the] people of Ashdod that so and they said not it will remain [the] ark of [the] God of Israel with us for it is hard hand his on us and on Dagon God our.
E quando quelli di Asdod videro che così avveniva, dissero: “L’arca dell’Iddio d’Israele non rimarrà presso di noi, poiché la mano di lui è dura su noi e su Dagon, nostro dio”.
8 And they sent and they gathered all [the] rulers of [the] Philistines to them and they said what? will we do to [the] ark of [the] God of Israel and they said Gath let it go round [the] ark of [the] God of Israel and they brought round [the] ark of [the] God of Israel.
Mandaron quindi a convocare presso di loro tutti i principi dei Filistei, e dissero: “Che faremo dell’arca dell’Iddio d’Israele?” I principi risposero: “Si trasporti l’arca dell’Iddio d’Israele a Gath”.
9 And it was after - they had brought round it and it was [the] hand of Yahweh - on the city panic great exceedingly and he struck [the] men of the city from young and unto [the] old and they broke out to them (tumors. *Q(K)*)
E trasportaron quivi l’arca dell’Iddio d’Israele. E come l’ebbero trasportata, la mano dell’Eterno si volse contro la città, e vi fu una immensa costernazione. L’Eterno colpì gli uomini della città, piccoli e grandi, e un flagello d’emorroidi scoppiò fra loro.
10 And they sent [the] ark of God Ekron and it was when went [the] ark of God Ekron and they cried out the Ekronites saying they have brought round to me [the] ark of [the] God of Israel to kill me and people my.
Allora mandarono l’arca di Dio a Ekron. E come l’arca di Dio giunse a Ekron, que’ di Ekron cominciarono a gridare, dicendo: “Hanno trasportato l’arca dell’Iddio d’Israele da noi, per far morire noi e il nostro popolo!”
11 And they sent and they gathered all [the] rulers of [the] Philistines and they said send away [the] ark of [the] God of Israel so may it return to own place its and not it will kill me and people my for it was panic of death in all the city it was heavy exceedingly [the] hand of God there.
Mandaron quindi a convocare tutti i principi dei Filistei, e dissero: “Rimandate l’arca dell’Iddio d’Israele; torni essa al suo posto, e non faccia morir noi e il nostro popolo!” Poiché tutta la città era in preda a un terrore di morte, e la mano di Dio s’aggravava grandemente su di essa.
12 And the men who not they died they were struck (with the tumors *Q(K)*) and it went up [the] cry for help of the city the heavens.
Quelli che non morivano eran colpiti d’emorroidi, e le grida della città salivano fino al cielo.
