- Vulgate (Clementine)
- 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.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ εἶδον οἱ ἄνδρες Ἀζώτου ὅτι οὕτως, καὶ λέγουσιν ὅτι Οὐ καθήσεται κιβωτὸς τοῦ θεοῦ μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν, ὅτι σκληρὰ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ Δαγὼν θεὸν ἡμῶν.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וַיִּרְא֥וּ אַנְשֵֽׁי אַשְׁדּ֖וֹד כִּֽי כֵ֑ן וְאָמְר֗וּ לֹֽא יֵשֵׁ֞ב אֲר֨וֹן אֱלֹהֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ עִמָּ֔נוּ כִּֽי קָשְׁתָ֤ה יָדוֹ֙ עָלֵ֔ינוּ וְעַ֖ל דָּג֥וֹן אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ
Haydock's commentary
God. the ark was terrible to this idol, as the relics of St. Babylas were to Apollo. (Worthington)
