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 Abenezer to Azotus.
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 the Lord, 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 the people of Azotus rose early, and entered into the house of Dagon; and looked, and behold, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the Lord: and they lifted up Dagon, and set him in his place. And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon the Azotians, and he plagued them, and he struck them in their secret parts, Azotus and her coasts.
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 it came to pass when they rose early in the morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands [were] cut off each before the threshold, and both the wrists of his hands had fallen on the floor of the porch; only the stump of Dagon was left.
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 the priests of Dagon, and every one that enters into the house of Dagon, do not tread upon the threshold of the house of Dagon in Azotus until this day, for they step over.
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 the Lord was heavy upon Azotus, and he brought evil upon them, and it burst out upon them into the ships, and mice sprang up in the midst of their country, and there was a great and indiscriminate mortality in the city.
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 the men of Azotus saw that [it was] so, and they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us, for his hand [is] heavy 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 send and gather the lords of the Philistines to them, and say, What shall we do to the ark of the God of Israel? and the Gittites say, Let the ark of God come over to us; and the ark of the God of Israel came to Geth.
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 after it went about to Geth, that the hand of the Lord comes upon the city, a very great confusion; and he struck the men of the city small and great, and struck them in their secret parts: and the Gittites made to themselves images of tumors.
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 send away the ark of God to Ascalon; and it came to pass when the ark of God went into Ascalon, that the men of Ascalon cried out, saying, Why have you brought back 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 send and gather the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it lodge in its place; and let it not kill us and our people.
12 E os homens que não morriam eram tão feridos com hemorróidas que o clamor da cidade subia até o céu.
For there was a very great confusion in all the city, when the ark of the God of Israel entered there; and those, who lived and died not were struck with tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
