1 Samuel 5
1 E os filisteus, depois de tomarem a arca de Deus, trouxeram-na desde Ebenézer a Asdode.
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Abenezer to Azotus.
2 E tomaram os filisteus a arca de Deus, e meteram-na na casa de Dagom, e puseram-na junto a Dagom.
And the Philistines took the ark of the Lord, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 que não morriam, eram feridos de chagas; e o clamor da cidade subia ao 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.
