1 Samuel 5
1 Os philisteos pois tomaram a arca de Deus, e a trouxeram de Eben-ezer, a Asdod.
Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Eben-ezer unto Ashdod.
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 house 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 they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD. 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 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 when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands lay cut off upon the threshold; only the trunk of Dagon 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 d'hoje.
Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod 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.
But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and He destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the borders thereof.
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 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 sore 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.
They sent therefore 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 answered: 'Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath.' And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about thither.
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 it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great discomfiture; and He smote the men of the city, both small and great, and emerods broke out upon them.
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.
So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as 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 slay 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 go back to its own place, that it slay us not, and our people'; for there was a deadly discomfiture throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
12 E os homens que não morriam eram tão feridos com hemorrhoidas que o clamor da cidade subia até o céu.
And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
