< 1 Samuel 5 >
1 Os philisteus pois tomaram a arca de Deus, e a trouxeram de Eben-ezer, a Asdod.
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben-ezer to Ashdod.
2 E tomaram os philisteus a arca de Deus, e a meteram na casa de Dagon. e a puseram junto a Dagon.
And the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
3 Levantando-se porém de madrugada os de Asdod, no dia seguinte, eis que Dagon estava caído com o rosto em terra diante da arca do Senhor: e tomaram a Dagon, e tornaram a pô-lo no seu lugar.
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.
4 E, levantando-se de madrugada no dia seguinte pela manhã, eis que Dagon jazia caído 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; somente o tronco ficou a Dagon.
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.
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 de hoje.
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.
6 Porém a mão do Senhor se agravou sobre os de Asdod, e os assolou: e os feriu com hemorróidas, a Asdod e aos seus termos.
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.
7 Vendo então os homens de Asdod que assim foi, disseram: Não fique conosco a arca do Deus de Israel; pois a sua mão é dura sobre nós, e sobre Dagon, nosso deus
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.
8 Pelo que enviaram e congregaram a si todos os príncipes dos philisteus, e disseram: Que faremos nós da arca do Deus de Israel? E responderam: A arca do Deus de Israel dará volta a Gath. Assim a rodearam com a arca do Deus de Israel.
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].
9 E sucedeu que, desde que a rodearam com ela, a mão do Senhor veio contra aquela cidade, com mui grande vexação: pois feriu aos homens daquela cidade, desde o pequeno até ao grande: e tinham hemorróidas nas partes secretas.
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.
10 Então enviaram a arca de Deus a Ekron. sucedeu 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.
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.
11 E enviaram, e congregaram a todos os príncipes dos philisteus, e disseram: enviai a arca do Deus de Israel, e torne para o seu lugar, 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 agravara ali
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;
12 E os homens que não morriam eram tão feridos com hemorróidas que o clamor da cidade subia até o céu.
and the men that died not were smitten with the hemorrhoids; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
