1 Samuel 5
1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben-ezer unto Ashdod.
Os philisteus pois tomaram a arca de Deus, e a trouxeram de Eben-ezer, a Asdod.
2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
E tomaram os philisteus a arca de Deus, e a meteram na casa de Dagon. e a puseram junto a Dagon.
3 And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon [was] fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
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.
4 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 [were] cut off upon the threshold; only [the stump of] Dagon was left to him.
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.
5 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.
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.
6 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 coasts thereof.
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.
7 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.
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
8 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].
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.
9 And it was [so], that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts.
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.
10 Therefore 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.
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.
11 So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
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
12 And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
E os homens que não morriam eram tão feridos com hemorróidas que o clamor da cidade subia até o céu.
