1 Samuel 5
Almeida Revista e Corrigida 2009
A arca, na terra dos filisteus, causa-lhes aflições
5 Os filisteus, pois, tomaram a arca de Deus e a trouxeram de Ebenézer a Asdode. 2 E tomaram os filisteus a arca de Deus, e a meteram na casa de Dagom, e a puseram junto a Dagom. 3 Levantando-se, porém, de madrugada os de Asdode, no dia seguinte, 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. 4 E, levantando-se de madrugada no dia seguinte, pela manhã, eis que Dagom jazia caído com o rosto em terra, diante da arca do Senhor; e a cabeça de Dagom e ambas as palmas das suas mãos, cortadas sobre o limiar; somente o tronco ficou a Dagom. 5 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 ao dia de hoje.
6 Porém a mão do Senhor se agravou sobre os de Asdode, e os assolou, e os feriu com hemorroidas, a Asdode e aos seus termos. 7 Vendo, então, os homens de Asdode que assim era, disseram: Não fique conosco a arca do Deus de Israel; pois a sua mão é dura sobre nós e sobre Dagom, nosso deus. 8 Pelo que enviaram, e congregaram a si todos os príncipes dos filisteus, e disseram: Que faremos nós da arca do Deus de Israel? E responderam: A arca do Deus de Israel dará volta a Gate. Assim, a rodearam com a arca do Deus de Israel. 9 E sucedeu que, desde que a rodearam com ela, a mão do Senhor veio contra aquela cidade, com mui grande vexação; pois feriu os homens daquela cidade, desde o pequeno até ao grande; e tinham hemorroidas nas partes secretas. 10 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 do Deus de Israel, para nos matarem, a nós e ao nosso povo. 11 E enviaram, e congregaram a todos os príncipes dos filisteus, e disseram: Enviai a arca do Deus de Israel, e torne para o seu lugar, para que não mate nem a nós nem ao nosso povo. Porque havia mortal vexação em toda a cidade, e a mão de Deus muito se agravara ali. 12 E os homens que não morriam eram tão feridos com hemorroidas, que o clamor da cidade subia até o céu.
1 Samuel 5
New International Version
The Ark in Ashdod and Ekron
5 After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer(A) to Ashdod.(B) 2 Then they carried the ark into Dagon’s temple and set it beside Dagon.(C) 3 When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen(D) on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! They took Dagon and put him back in his place. 4 But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! His head and hands had been broken(E) off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained. 5 That is why to this day neither the priests of Dagon nor any others who enter Dagon’s temple at Ashdod step on the threshold.(F)
6 The Lord’s hand(G) was heavy on the people of Ashdod and its vicinity; he brought devastation(H) on them and afflicted them with tumors.[a](I) 7 When the people of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, “The ark of the god of Israel must not stay here with us, because his hand is heavy on us and on Dagon our god.” 8 So they called together all the rulers(J) of the Philistines and asked them, “What shall we do with the ark of the god of Israel?”
They answered, “Have the ark of the god of Israel moved to Gath.(K)” So they moved the ark of the God of Israel.
9 But after they had moved it, the Lord’s hand was against that city, throwing it into a great panic.(L) He afflicted the people of the city, both young and old, with an outbreak of tumors.[b] 10 So they sent the ark of God to Ekron.(M)
As the ark of God was entering Ekron, the people of Ekron cried out, “They have brought the ark of the god of Israel around to us to kill us and our people.” 11 So they called together all the rulers(N) of the Philistines and said, “Send the ark of the god of Israel away; let it go back to its own place, or it[c] will kill us and our people.” For death had filled the city with panic; God’s hand was very heavy on it. 12 Those who did not die(O) were afflicted with tumors, and the outcry of the city went up to heaven.
