1 O s filisteus, pois, tomaram a arca de Deus, e a levaram de Ebenézer a Asdode.

The Philistines took the special box of God and brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.

2 E ntão os filisteus tomaram a arca de Deus e a introduziram na casa de Dagom, e a puseram junto a Dagom.

They took the special box of God into the house of Dagon, and set it beside Dagon.

3 L evantando-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.

When the Ashdodites got up early the next morning, they saw that Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the special box of the Lord. So they took Dagon and set him in his place again.

4 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.

But when they got up early the next morning, they saw that Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground in front of the special box of the Lord. And Dagon’s head and both his hands were cut off and lying in the doorway. Only the body of Dagon was left.

5 P elo 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.

So the religious leaders of Dagon and all who go into Dagon’s house do not step on the bottom part of the doorway in Ashdod to this day.

6 E ntretanto a mão do Senhor se agravou sobre os de Asdode, e os assolou, e os feriu com tumores, a Asdode e aos seus termos.

The hand of the Lord was heavy on the Ashdodites. He filled them with fear and punished them with pain and sores, both Ashdod and its lands.

7 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.

When the men of Ashdod saw how things were, they said, “The special box of the God of Israel must not stay with us. For His hand is hard on us and on our god Dagon.”

8 P elo 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.

So they called together all the leaders of the Philistines and said, “What should we do with the special box of the God of Israel?” And they said, “Let the special box of the God of Israel be brought around to Gath.” So they brought the box of the God of Israel there.

9 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.

But after they had brought it there, the hand of the Lord was against the city, causing much fear. He punished both the young and old men of the city, so that sores broke out upon them.

10 E ntão 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.

So they sent the special box of God to Ekron. When the box of God came to Ekron, the people there cried out, “They have brought the special box of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people.”

11 E nviaram, 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 called together all the leaders of the Philistines and said, “Send away the special box of the God of Israel. Let it return to its own place, that it may not kill us and our people.” For the people of the city were afraid. The hand of God was very heavy there.

12 P ois os homens que não morriam eram feridos com tumores; de modo que o clamor da cidade subia até o céu.

The men who did not die were punished with sores, and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
