1 Samuel 5
1 Os philisteos pois tomaram a arca de Deus, e a trouxeram de Eben-ezer, a Asdod.
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and carried it from the Stone of help into Azotus.
2 E tomaram os philisteos a arca de Deus, e a metteram na casa de Dagon. e a pozeram junto a Dagon.
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the temple of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
3 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.
And when the Azotians arose early the next day, behold Dagon lay upon his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord: and they took Dagon, and set him again in his place.
4 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.
And the next day again, when they rose in the morning, they found Dagon lying upon his face on the earth before the ark of the Lord: and the head of Dagon, and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold:
5 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.
And only the stump of Dagon remained in its place. For this cause neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that go into the temple tread on the threshold of Dagon in Azotus unto this day.
6 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.
And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon the Azotians, and he destroyed them, and afflicted Azotus and the coasts thereof with emerods. And in the villages and fields in the midst of that country, there came forth a multitude of mice, and there was the confusion of a great mortality in the city.
7 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
And the men of Azotus seeing this kind of plague, said: The ark of the God of Israel shall not stay with us: for his hand is heavy upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
8 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.
And sending, they gathered together all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said: What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And the Gethrites answered: Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about.
9 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.
And while they were carrying it about, the band of the Lord came upon every city with an exceeding great slaughter: and he smote the men of every city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts. And the Gethrites consulted together, and made themselves seats of skins.
10 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.
Therefore they sent the ark of God into Accaron. And when the ark of God was come into Accaron, the Accaronites cried out, saying: They have brought the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people.
11 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
They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines: and they said: Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return into its own place, and not kill us and our people.
12 E os homens que não morriam eram tão feridos com hemorrhoidas que o clamor da cidade subia até o céu.
For there was the fear of death in every city, and the hand of God was exceeding heavy. The men also that did not die, were afflicted with the emerods: and the cry of every city went up to heaven.
