1 Samuel 5
1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben-ha'ezer unto Ashdod.
Os philisteus pois tomaram a arca de Deus, e a trouxeram de Eben-ezer, a Asdod.
2 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and 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 the people of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was lying upon his face on the earth before the ark of the Lord. And they took Dagon, and set him again in his place.
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 morning of the following day, behold, Dagon was lying upon his face on 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 fish portion was left on 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 do the priests of Dagon, and all that come into Dagon's house, not step on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod even until 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 And the hand of the Lord became heavy upon the people of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with hemorrhoids, even Ashdod and its territory.
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 remain 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 And they sent and gathered together 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 removed unto Gath. And they removed the ark of the God of Israel 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 happened, after they had removed it, that the hand of the Lord was against the city with a very great confusion; and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had hemorrhoids 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 And they sent away 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 removed to us the ark of the God of Israel, 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, that it may return to its own place, so that it may not slay us, and our people; for there was a confusion of death 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 people that did not die were smitten with the hemorrhoids; and the lamentation 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.
