1 Samuel 5
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
El arca en Asdod y Ecrón
5 Después de capturar el arca de Dios, los filisteos la llevaron de Ebenezer a Asdod 2 y la pusieron junto a la estatua de Dagón, en el templo de ese dios. 3 Al día siguiente, cuando los habitantes de Asdod se levantaron, vieron que la estatua de Dagón estaba tirada en el suelo, boca abajo, frente al arca del Señor. Así que la levantaron y la colocaron en su sitio. 4 Pero, al día siguiente, cuando se levantaron, volvieron a encontrar la estatua tirada en el suelo, boca abajo, frente al arca del Señor. Sobre el umbral estaban su cabeza y sus dos manos, separadas del tronco. 5 Por eso, hasta el día de hoy, ninguno de los que entran en el templo de Dagón en Asdod, incluso los sacerdotes, pisan el umbral.
6 Entonces el Señor descargó su mano sobre la población de Asdod y sus alrededores, y los azotó con tumores. 7 La gente de Asdod reconoció lo que estaba pasando, y declaró: «El arca del Dios de Israel no puede quedarse en medio nuestro, porque ese dios ha descargado su mano sobre nosotros y contra nuestro dios Dagón».
8 Así que convocaron a todos los jefes filisteos y les preguntaron:
―¿Qué vamos a hacer con el arca del Dios de Israel?
―Trasladad el arca del Dios de Israel a la ciudad de Gat —respondieron los jefes.
Y así lo hicieron. 9 Pero, después de que la trasladaron, el Señor castigó a esa ciudad, afligiendo con una erupción de tumores a sus habitantes, desde el más pequeño hasta el mayor. Eso provocó un pánico horrible. 10 Entonces enviaron el arca de Dios a Ecrón, pero, tan pronto como entró el arca en la ciudad, sus habitantes se pusieron a gritar: «¡Nos han traído el arca del Dios de Israel para matarnos a todos!» 11 Por eso convocaron a todos los jefes filisteos y protestaron: «¡Llevaos el arca del Dios de Israel! ¡Devolvedla a su lugar de origen, para que no nos mate a nosotros y a todos los nuestros!» Y es que el terror de la muerte se había apoderado de la ciudad, porque Dios había descargado su mano sobre ese lugar. 12 Los que no murieron fueron azotados por tumores, de modo que los gritos de la ciudad llegaban hasta el cielo.

English Standard Version
The Philistines and the Ark
5 When the Philistines captured the ark of God, they brought it from (A)Ebenezer to (B)Ashdod. 2 Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it into the house of Dagon and set it up beside (C)Dagon. 3 And when the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, behold, (D)Dagon had fallen face downward on the ground before the ark of the Lord. So they took Dagon and put him back in his place. 4 But when they rose early on the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen face downward on the ground before the ark of the Lord, (E)and the head of Dagon and both his hands were lying cut off on the threshold. Only the trunk of Dagon was left to him. 5 This is why the priests of Dagon and all who enter the house of Dagon (F)do not tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
6 (G)The hand of the Lord was heavy against the people of Ashdod, and he terrified and afflicted them with (H)tumors, both Ashdod and its territory. 7 And when the men of Ashdod saw how things were, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for his hand is hard against us and against Dagon our god.” 8 So they sent and gathered together all (I)the lords of the Philistines and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” They answered, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be brought around to Gath.” So they brought the ark of the God of Israel there. 9 But after they had brought it around, (J)the hand of the Lord was against the city, causing a very great panic, and he afflicted the men of the city, both young and old, so that (K)tumors broke out on them. 10 So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. But as soon as the ark of God came to Ekron, the people of Ekron cried out, “They have brought around to us the ark of the God of Israel to kill us and our people.” 11 (L)They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines and said, “Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return to its own place, that it may not kill us and our people.” For there was a deathly panic throughout the whole city. (M)The hand of God was very heavy there. 12 The men who did not die were struck with (N)tumors, and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

Сундук Всевышнего у филистимлян
5 Захватив сундук Всевышнего, филистимляне принесли его из Эвен-Езера в Ашдод. 2 Затем они внесли сундук в храм Дагона[a] и поставили около статуи Дагона. 3 Когда жители Ашдода встали на другой день рано утром, Дагон, упавший лицом на землю, лежал перед сундуком Вечного! Они подняли статую Дагона и вернули на прежнее место. 4 Но на следующее утро, когда они встали, Дагон опять лежал лицом на земле, перед сундуком Вечного! Его голова и руки были отломаны и валялись на пороге, целым осталось лишь туловище. 5 Вот почему до сегодняшнего дня ни жрецы Дагона, ни входящие в его храм в Ашдоде не наступают на порог, где он лежал.
6 Вечный сурово наказал жителей Ашдода и его окрестностей, наслав на них опустошение и поразив их наростами.[b] 7 Когда жители Ашдода увидели то, что происходит, они сказали:
– Сундук исраильского Бога не должен находиться здесь у нас, потому что Его гнев против нас и нашего бога Дагона страшен.
8 Они созвали всех филистимских правителей и спросили их:
– Что нам делать с сундуком исраильского Бога?
Они ответили:
– Пусть сундук исраильского Бога переправится в Гат.
И переправили сундук Бога Исраила. 9 Но после того, как они переправили его, рука Вечного обратилась и против этого города, приведя его в великий ужас. Вечный поразил жителей города, молодых и старых, наростами. 10 И они отослали сундук Всевышнего в Экрон.
Когда сундук вносили в Экрон, жители кричали:
– Сундук исраильского Бога принесли к нам, чтобы погубить нас и наш народ!
11 Они созвали всех филистимских правителей и сказали:
– Отошлите сундук исраильского Бога из нашей земли. Пусть он вернётся на своё место, иначе он[c] умертвит всех нас.
И смерть наполнила тот город ужасом; гнев Всевышнего на него был очень страшен. 12 Те, кто не умер, были поражены наростами, и вопль города доходил до небес.

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.
