Êxodo 14
|
| And the Lord said to Moses, | Disse o Senhor a Moisés: |
| Give orders to the children of Israel to go back and put up their tents before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, in front of Baal-zephon, opposite to which you are to put up your tents by the sea. | Fala aos filhos de Israel que se voltem e se acampem diante de Pi-Hairote, entre Migdol e o mar, diante de Baal-Zefom; em frente dele assentareis o acampamento junto ao mar. |
| And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are wandering without direction, they are shut in by the waste land. | Então Faraó dirá dos filhos de Israel: Eles estão embaraçados na terra, o deserto os encerrou. |
| And I will make Pharaoh's heart hard, and he will come after them and I will be honoured over Pharaoh and all his army, so that the Egyptians may see that I am the Lord. And they did so. | Eu endurecerei o coração de Faraó, e ele os perseguirá; glorificar-me-ei em Faraó, e em todo o seu exército; e saberão os egípcios que eu sou o Senhor. E eles fizeram assim. |
| And word came to Pharaoh of the flight of the people: and the feeling of Pharaoh and of his servants about the people was changed, and they said, Why have we let Israel go, so that they will do no more work for us? | Quando, pois, foi anunciado ao rei do Egito que o povo havia fugido, mudou-se o coração de Faraó, e dos seus servos, contra o povo, e disseram: Que é isso que fizemos, permitindo que Israel saísse e deixasse de nos servir? |
| So he had his war-carriage made ready and took his people with him: | E Faraó aprontou o seu carro, e tomou consigo o seu povo; |
| And he took six hundred carriages, all the carriages of Egypt, and captains over all of them. | tomou também seiscentos carros escolhidos e todos os carros do Egito, e capitães sobre todos eles. |
| And the Lord made the heart of Pharaoh hard, and he went after the children of Israel: for the children of Israel had gone out without fear. | Porque o Senhor endureceu o coração de Faraó, rei do Egito, e este perseguiu os filhos de Israel; pois os filhos de Israel saíam afoitamente. |
| But the Egyptians went after them, all the horses and carriages of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them in their tents by the sea, by Pihahiroth, before Baal-zephon. | Os egípcios, com todos os cavalos e carros de Faraó, e os seus cavaleiros e o seu exército, os perseguiram e os alcançaram acampados junto ao mar, perto de Pi-Hairote, diante de Baal-Zefom. |
| And when Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel, lifting up their eyes, saw the Egyptians coming after them, and were full of fear; and their cry went up to God. | Quando Faraó se aproximava, os filhos de Israel levantaram os olhos, e eis que os egípcios marchavam atrás deles; pelo que tiveram muito medo os filhos de Israel e clamaram ao Senhor: |
| And they said to Moses, Was there no resting-place for the dead in Egypt, that you have taken us away to come to our death in the waste land? why have you taken us out of Egypt? | e disseram a Moisés: Foi porque não havia sepulcros no Egito que de lá nos tiraste para morrermos neste deserto? Por que nos fizeste isto, tirando-nos do Egito? |
| Did we not say to you in Egypt, Let us be as we are, working for the Egyptians? for it is better to be the servants of the Egyptians than to come to our death in the waste land. | Não é isto o que te dissemos no Egito: Deixa-nos, que sirvamos aos egípcios? Pois melhor nos fora servir aos egípcios, do que morrermos no deserto. |
| But Moses said, Keep where you are and have no fear; now you will see the salvation of the Lord which he will give you today; for the Egyptians whom you see today you will never see again. | Moisés, porém, disse ao povo: Não temais; estai quietos, e vede o livramento do Senhor, que ele hoje vos fará; porque aos egípcios que hoje vistes, nunca mais tornareis a ver; |
| The Lord will make war for you, you have only to keep quiet. | o Senhor pelejará por vós; e vós vos calareis. |
| And the Lord said to Moses, Why are you crying out to me? give the children of Israel the order to go forward. | Então disse o Senhor a Moisés: Por que clamas a mim? dize aos filhos de Israel que marchem. |
| And let your rod be lifted up and your hand stretched out over the sea, and it will be parted in two; and the children of Israel will go through on dry land. | E tu, levanta a tua vara, e estende a mão sobre o mar e fende-o, para que os filhos de Israel passem pelo meio do mar em seco. |
| And I will make the heart of the Egyptians hard, and they will go in after them: and I will be honoured over Pharaoh and over his army, his war-carriages, and his horsemen. | Eis que eu endurecerei o coração dos egípcios, e estes entrarão atrás deles; e glorificar-me-ei em Faraó e em todo o seu exército, nos seus carros e nos seus cavaleiros. |
| And the Egyptians will see that I am the Lord, when I get honour over Pharaoh and his war-carriages and his horsemen. | E os egípcios saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando me tiver glorificado em Faraó, nos seus carros e nos seus cavaleiros. |
| Then the angel of God, who had been before the tents of Israel, took his place at their back; and the pillar of cloud, moving from before them, came to rest at their back: | Então o anjo de Deus, que ia adiante do exército de Israel, se retirou e se pos atrás deles; também a coluna de nuvem se retirou de diante deles e se pôs atrás, |
| And it came between the army of Egypt and the army of Israel; and there was a dark cloud between them, and they went on through the night; but the one army came no nearer to the other all the night. | colocando-se entre o campo dos egípcios e o campo dos israelitas; assim havia nuvem e trevas; contudo aquela clareava a noite para Israel; de maneira que em toda a noite não se aproximou um do outro. |
| And when Moses' hand was stretched out over the sea, the Lord with a strong east wind made the sea go back all night, and the waters were parted in two and the sea became dry land. | Então Moisés estendeu a mão sobre o mar; e o Senhor fez retirar o mar por um forte vento oriental toda aquela noite, e fez do mar terra seca, e as águas foram divididas. |
| And the children of Israel went through the sea on dry land: and the waters were a wall on their right side and on their left. | E os filhos de Israel entraram pelo meio do mar em seco; e as águas foram-lhes qual muro à sua direita e à sua esquerda. |
| Then the Egyptians went after them into the middle of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses and his war-carriages and his horsemen. | E os egípcios os perseguiram, e entraram atrás deles até o meio do mar, com todos os cavalos de Faraó, os seus carros e os seus cavaleiros. |
| And in the morning watch, the Lord, looking out on the armies of the Egyptians from the pillar of fire and cloud, sent trouble on the army of the Egyptians; | Na vigília da manhã, o Senhor, na coluna do fogo e da nuvem, olhou para o campo dos egípcios, e alvoroçou o campo dos egípcios; |
| And made the wheels of their war-carriages stiff, so that they had hard work driving them: so the Egyptians said, Let us go in flight from before the face of Israel, for the Lord is fighting for them against the Egyptians. | embaraçou-lhes as rodas dos carros, e fê-los andar dificultosamente; de modo que os egípcios disseram: Fujamos de diante de Israel, porque o Senhor peleja por eles contra os egípcios. |
| And the Lord said to Moses, Let your hand be stretched out over the sea, and the waters will come back again on the Egyptians, and on their war-carriages and on their horsemen. | Nisso o Senhor disse a Moisés: Estende a mão sobre o mar, para que as águas se tornem sobre os egípcios, sobre os seus carros e sobre os seus cavaleiros. |
| And when Moses' hand was stretched out over the sea, at dawn the sea came flowing back, meeting the Egyptians in their flight, and the Lord sent destruction on the Egyptians in the middle of the sea. | Então Moisés estendeu a mão sobre o mar, e o mar retomou a sua força ao amanhecer, e os egípcios fugiram de encontro a ele; assim o Senhor derribou os egípcios no meio do mar. |
| And the waters came back, covering the war-carriages and the horsemen and all the army of Pharaoh which went after them into the middle of the sea; not one of them was to be seen. | As águas, tornando, cobriram os carros e os cavaleiros, todo o exército de Faraó, que atrás deles havia entrado no mar; não ficou nem sequer um deles. |
| But the children of Israel went through the sea walking on dry land, and the waters were a wall on their right side and on their left. | Mas os filhos de Israel caminharam a pé enxuto pelo meio do mar; as águas foram-lhes qual muro à sua direita e à sua esquerda. |
| So that day the Lord gave Israel salvation from the hands of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the sea's edge. | Assim o Senhor, naquele dia, salvou Israel da mão dos egípcios; e Israel viu os egípcios mortos na praia do mar. |
| And Israel saw the great work which the Lord had done against the Egyptians, and the fear of the Lord came on the people and they had faith in the Lord and in his servant Moses. | E viu Israel a grande obra que o Senhor operara contra os egípcios; pelo que o povo temeu ao Senhor, e creu no Senhor e em Moisés, seu servo. |
