I Samuel 5

Os filisteus, pois, tomaram a arca de Deus, e a levaram de Ebenézer a Asdode.
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben–ezer unto Ashdod.
Então os filisteus tomaram a arca de Deus e a introduziram na casa de Dagom, e a puseram junto a Dagom.
When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
Levantando-se, porém, de madrugada no dia seginte os de Asdode, eis que Dagom estava caído com o rosto em terra diante da arca do Senhor; e tomaram a Dagom, e tornaram a pô-lo no seu lugar.
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.
E, levantando-se eles de madrugada no dia seguinte, eis que Dagom estava caído com o rosto em terra diante da arca do Senhor; e a cabeça de Dagom e ambas as suas mãos estavam cortadas sobre o limiar; somente o tronco ficou a Dagom.
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.
Pelo que nem os sacerdotes de Dagom, nem nenhum de todos os que entram na casa de Dagom, pisam o limiar de Dagom em Asdode, até o dia de 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.
Entretanto a mão do Senhor se agravou sobre os de Asdode, e os assolou, e os feriu com tumores, a Asdode 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 coasts thereof.
O que tendo visto os homens de Asdode, disseram: Não fique conosco a arca do Deus de Israel, pois a sua mão é dura sobre nós, e sobre Dagom, 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.
Pelo que enviaram mensageiros e congregaram a si todos os chefes dos filisteus, e disseram: Que faremos nós da arca do Deus de Israel? Responderam: Seja levada para Gate. Assim levaram para lá 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.
E desde que a levaram para lá, a mão do Senhor veio contra aquela cidade, causando grande pânico; pois feriu aos homens daquela cidade, desde o pequeno até o grande, e nasceram-lhes tumores.
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.
Então enviaram a arca de Deus a Ecrom. Sucedeu porém que, vindo a arca de Deus a Ecrom, os de Ecrom exclamaram, dizendo: Transportaram para nós a arca de Deus de Israel, para nos matar a nós e ao nosso povo.
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.
Enviaram, pois, mensageiros, e congregaram a todos os chefes dos filisteus, e disseram: Enviai daqui a arca do Deus de Israel, e volte ela para o seu lugar, para que não nos mate a nós e ao nosso povo. Porque havia pânico mortal em toda a cidade, e a mão de Deus muito se agravara sobre ela.
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.
Pois os homens que não morriam eram feridos com tumores; de modo 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.
