5 — 1 Re (1 Samuele)

1And the Philistines took the ark of God, and carried it from the Stone of help into Azotus.Ma i Filistei presero l'arca di Dio, e la trasportarono dalla Pietra del soccorso in Azoto.AND the Philistijms tooke the arke of God, and caried it from the Stone of helpe into Azotus.Philisthiim autem tulerunt arcam Dei, et asportaverunt eam a lapide Adjutorii in Azotum. 2And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the temple of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.E portarono i Filistei l'arca di Dio nel tempio di Dagon, e la collocarono vicino a Dagon.And the Philistijms tooke the arke of God, and brought it into the temple of Dagon, and sette it beside Dagon.Tuleruntque Philisthiim arcam Dei, et intulerunt eam in templum Dagon, et statuerunt eam juxta Dagon. 3And when the Azotians arose early the next day, behold Dagon lay upon his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord: and they took Dagon, and set him again in his place.E il dì seguente alzatisi quelli di Azoto allo spuntare del dì, ecco che Dagon giaceva boccone per terra dinanzi all'arca del Signore: e presero Dagon, e lo rimisero al suo posto.And when the Azotians had risen early the next day, behold Dagon lay flatte on the ground before the arke of our Lord: and they tooke Dagon, and restored him into his place.Cumque surrexissent diluculo Azotii altera die, ecce Dagon jacebat pronus in terra ante arcam Domini: et tulerunt Dagon, et restituerunt eum in locum suum. 4And the next day again, when they rose in the morning, they found Dagon lying upon his face on the earth before the ark of the Lord: and the head of Dagon, and both the palms of his hands, were cut off upon the threshold:E di nuovo alzati la mattina seguente trovarono Dagon che giacea boccone per terra dinanzi all'arca del Signore: ma il capo di Dagon, e le due mani troncate erano sulla soglia (del tempio):And agayne early the next day rising vp, they found Dagon lying vpon his face on the earth before the arke of our Lord: and the head of Dagon, and the two palmes of his handes were cutte of vpon the threshold:Rursumque mane die altera consurgentes, invenerunt Dagon jacentem super faciem suam in terra coram arca Domini: caput autem Dagon, et duæ palmæ manuum ejus abscissæ erant super limen: 5And only the stump of Dagon remained in its place. For this cause neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that go into the temple, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Azotus unto this day.E il solo torso di Dagon era rimaso al suo posto. Questa è la ragione, per cui fino al dì d'oggi i sacerdoti di Dagon, e tutti quelli che entrano nel suo tempio non pongono il piede sulla soglia di Dagon in Azoto.moreouer the bodie only of Dagon was remayning in his place. For this cause the priestes of Dagon, and al that enter into his temple, tread not vpon the threshold of Dagon in Azotus vntil this day.porro Dagon solus truncus remanserat in loco suo. Propter hanc causam non calcant sacerdotes Dagon, et omnes qui ingrediuntur templum ejus, super limen Dagon in Azoto, usque in hodiernum diem.

6And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon the Azotians, and he destroyed them, and afflicted Azotus and the coasts thereof with emerods. And in the villages and fields in the midst of that country, there came forth a multitude of mice, and there was the confusion of a great mortality in the city.E la mano del Signore si fe' sentir fieramente a quelli di Azoto e li desolò; e mandò a quelli di Azoto, e del suo territorio un malore nelle parti deretane più interne. E villaggi, e i campi in mezzo a quella regione ribollirono, e nacquer de' topi, e la città era sossopra pella gran mortalità.And the hand of our Lord was heauie vpon the Azotians, and he plagued them, and stroke Azotus and the coastes thereof in the secrete part of the fundament. And the townes and fieldes bubbled forth in the middes of that country, and there came forth mise, and there was confusion of great death in the citie.Aggravata est autem manus Domini super Azotios, et demolitus est eos: et percussit in secretiori parte natium Azotum, et fines ejus. Et ebullierunt villæ et agri in medio regionis illius, et nati sunt mures et facta est confusio mortis magnæ in civitate. 7And the men of Azotus seeing this kind of plague, said: The ark of the God of Israel shall not stay with us: for his hand is heavy upon us, and upon Dagon, our god.Or reggendo gli uomini di Azoto questi flagelli dissero: Non resti presso di noi l'arca del Dio d'Israele: perocché dura è la mano di lui sopra di noi, e sopra il nostro dio Dagon.And the men of Azotus seing this maner of plague, said: Let not the arke of the God of Israel tarie with vs: because his hand is sore vpon vs, and vpon Dagon our God.Videntes autem viri Azotii hujuscemodi plagam, dixerunt: Non maneat arca Dei Israël apud nos: quoniam dura est manus ejus super nos, et super Dagon deum nostrum. 8And sending, they gathered together all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said: What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And the Gethites answered: Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about.E mandaron gente per far adunare presso di loro tutti i satrapi de' Filistei, e dissero: Che farem noi dell'arca del Dio d'Israele? Risposero quelli di Geth: Si meni attorno l'arca del Dio d'Israele. E menaron attorno l'arca dei Dio d'Israele.And sending they gathered together al the princes of the Philistijms to them, and said: What shal we doe with the arke of the God of Israel? And the Getheites answered: Let the arke of the God of Israel be caried about, and they caried about the arke of the God of Israel.Et mittentes congregaverunt omnes satrapas Philisthinorum ad se, et dixerunt: Quid faciemus de arca Dei Israël ? Responderuntque Gethæi: Circumducatur arca Dei Israël. Et circumduxerunt arcam Dei Israël. 9And while they were carrying it about, the hand of the Lord came upon every city with an exceeding great slaughter: and he smote the men of every city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts. And the Gethites consulted together, and made themselves seats of skins.E mentre quelli la menavano attorno, la mano del Signore facea strage formisura grande in ciascheduna città: e straziava dal piccolo al grande gli uomini di ciascuna città, e uscivan lor fuori gl'intestini, e s'imputridivano. E i Gethei tenner consiglio, e si fecer dei sedili di pelli.And they carying it about, the hand of our Lord was made through euerie citie by an exceding great slaughter: and it strake the men of euery city, from litle vnto great, & they had emeroides in their secrete partes. And the Getheites tooke counseil, and made themselues stooles of skinnes.Illis autem circumducentibus eam, fiebat manus Domini per singulas civitates interfectionis magnæ nimis: et percutiebat viros uniuscujusque urbis, a parvo usque ad majorem, et computrescebant prominentes extales eorum. Inieruntque Gethæi consilium, et fecerunt sibi sedes pelliceas.

10Therefore they sent the ark of God into Accaron. And when the ark of God was come into Accaron, the Accaronites cried out, saying: They have brought the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people.Mandarono adunque l'arca di Dio in Accaron. E arrivata che fu in Accaron l'arca di Dio, sclamarono gli Accaroniti, e dissero: Hanno condotta a noi l'arca del Dio d'Israele, perchè ammazzi noi, e il nostro popolo.They sent therfore the arke of God into Accaron. And when the arke of God was come into Accaron, the Accaronites cryed out, saying: They haue brought vnto vs the arke of the God of Israel, to kil vs & our people.Miserunt ergo arcam Dei in Accaron. Cumque venisset arca Dei in Accaron, exclamaverunt Accaronitæ, dicentes: Adduxerunt ad nos arcam Dei Israël ut interficiat nos et populum nostrum. 11They sent therefore, and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines: and they said: Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return into its own place, and not kill us and our people.Mandarono perciò gente affin di fare adunare tutti i satrapi dei Filistei: i quali dissero: Rimandate l'arca del Dio d'Israele, ed ella torni al suo posto, e non distrugga noi, e il nostro popolo.They sent therefore & gathered together al the princes of the Philistijms: who sayd: Dimisse the arke of the God of Israel, & let it returne into his place, & not kil vs with our people.Miserunt itaque et congregaverunt omnes satrapas Philisthinorum: qui dixerunt: Dimittite arcam Dei Israël, et revertatur in locum suum, et non interficiat nos cum populo nostro. 12For there was the fear of death in every city, and the hand of God was exceeding heavy. The men also that did not die, were afflicted with the emerods: and the cry of every city went up to heaven.Imperocché per ciascuna città si spandeva un terror di morte, e la mano di Dio li premeva gagliardamente: e quegli ancora che non morivano, erano percossi nelle parti deretane più interne: e da ciascheduna città si alzavano le urla fino al cielo.For there was made the feare of death in euery citie, & the hand of God exceding greuous. the men also that had not died, were striken in the secrete part of the buttockes: and the howling of euery citie went vp into heauen.Fiebat enim pavor mortis in singulis urbibus, et gravissima valde manus Dei. Viri quoque qui mortui non fuerant, percutiebantur in secretiori parte natium: et ascendebat ululatus uniuscujusque civitatis in cælum.
