1 Samuel 5
1 E os filisteus, depois de tomarem a arca de Deus, trouxeram-na desde Ebenézer a Asdode.
Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
2 E tomaram os filisteus a arca de Deus, e meteram-na na casa de Dagom, e puseram-na junto a Dagom.
The Philistines took it, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
3 E o seguinte dia os de Asdode se levantaram de manhã, e eis Dagom prostrado em terra diante da arca do SENHOR: e tomaram a Dagom, e voltaram-no a seu lugar.
And the Ashdodites rose early on the next day, and look, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the LORD. So they raised up Dagon and set him in his place again.
4 E voltando-se a levantar de manhã o dia seguinte, eis que Dagom havia caído prostrado em terra diante da arca do SENHOR; e a cabeça de Dagom, e as duas palmas de suas mãos estavam cortadas sobre o umbral, havendo restado a Dagom o tronco somente.
And it happened when they arose early the next morning, look, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold. Only Dagon's torso was intact.
5 Por esta causa os sacerdotes de Dagom, e todos os que no templo de Dagom entram, não pisam o umbral de Dagom em Asdode, até hoje.
Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any who come into Dagon's house, step on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod, to this day.
6 Porém agravou-se a mão do SENHOR sobre os de Asdode, e assolou-os, e feriu-os com chagas em Asdode e em todos seus termos.
But the hand of the LORD was heavy on the Ashdodites, and he ravaged them and afflicted them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territory. And he brought up against them mice, and they burst out in their ships, and mice sprang up in the midst of their land, and there was a great terror of death in the city.
7 E vendo isto os de Asdode, disseram: Não fique conosco a arca do Deus de Israel, porque sua mão é dura sobre nós, e sobre nosso deus Dagom.
When the men of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, "The ark of God shall not stay with us; for his hand is severe on us, and on Dagon our god."
8 Mandaram, pois, juntar a si todos os príncipes dos filisteus, e disseram: Que faremos da arca do Deus de Israel? E eles responderam: Passe-se a arca do Deus de Israel a Gate. E passaram ali a arca do Deus de Israel.
So they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said, "What shall we do with the ark of God?" Then the Gittites answered, "Let the ark of God be carried over to us." So they brought the ark of God to Gath.
9 E aconteceu que quando a houveram passado, a mão do SENHOR foi contra a cidade com grande tormento; e feriu os homens daquela cidade desde o pequeno até o grande, que se encheram de chagas.
And it came about that after they had brought it around, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great confusion: and he struck the men of the city, both small and great; and tumors broke out on them.
10 Então enviaram a arca de Deus a Ecrom. E quando a arca de Deus veio a Ecrom, os ecronitas deram vozes dizendo: Passaram a mim a arca do Deus de Israel para matar a mim e a meu povo.
So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. It happened, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, "Why have you brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people?"
11 E enviaram a juntar todos os príncipes dos filisteus, dizendo: Despachai a arca do Deus de Israel, e torne-se a seu lugar, e não mate a mim nem a meu povo: porque havia tormento de morte em toda a cidade, e a mão de Deus se havia ali agravado.
And they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, "Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to its own place, so that it will not kill us and our people." For there was a panic throughout all the city when the ark of God arrived there.
12 E os que não morriam, eram feridos de chagas; e o clamor da cidade subia ao céu.
The men who did not die were struck with the tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
