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 Ebenezer to Ashdod.
2 E tomaram os philisteos a arca de Deus, e a metteram na casa de Dagon. e a pozeram junto a Dagon.
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 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, 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 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 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 who come into Dagon's house, step on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod, to 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 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 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
When the men of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, "The ark of the God of Israel shall not stay with us; for his hand is severe on us, and on 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.
So they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said, "What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?" Then the Gittites answered, "Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried over to us." So they brought the ark of God to Gath.
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 happened 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 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. 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, 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
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 very heavy terror of death throughout all the city when the ark of God arrived there.
12 E os homens que não morriam eram tão feridos com hemorrhoidas que o clamor da cidade subia até o céu.
The men who did not die were struck with the tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
