Exodus 2
|
Foi-se um homem da casa de Levi e casou com uma filha de Levi. | And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. |
A mulher concebeu e deu à luz um filho; e, vendo que ele era formoso, escondeu-o três meses. | And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. |
Não podendo, porém, escondê-lo por mais tempo, tomou para ele uma arca de juncos, e a revestiu de betume e pez; e, pondo nela o menino, colocou-a entre os juncos a margem do rio. | And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch; and she put the child therein, and laid it in the flags by the river's brink. |
E sua irmã postou-se de longe, para saber o que lhe aconteceria. | And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him. |
A filha de Faraó desceu para banhar-se no rio, e as suas criadas passeavam à beira do rio. Vendo ela a arca no meio os juncos, mandou a sua criada buscá-la. | And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river-side; and she saw the ark among the flags, and sent her handmaid to fetch it. |
E abrindo-a, viu a criança, e eis que o menino chorava; então ela teve compaixão dele, e disse: Este é um dos filhos dos hebreus. | And she opened it, and saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children. |
Então a irmã do menino perguntou à filha de Faraó: Queres que eu te vá chamar uma ama dentre as hebréias, para que crie este menino para ti? | Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee? |
Respondeu-lhe a filha de Faraó: Vai. Foi, pois, a moça e chamou a mãe do menino. | And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maiden went and called the child's mother. |
Disse-lhe a filha de Faraó: Leva este menino, e cria-mo; eu te darei o teu salário. E a mulher tomou o menino e o criou. | And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it. |
Quando, pois, o menino era já grande, ela o trouxe à filha de Faraó, a qual o adotou; e lhe chamou Moisés, dizendo: Porque das águas o tirei. | And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said, Because I drew him out of the water. |
Ora, aconteceu naqueles dias que, sendo Moisés já homem, saiu a ter com seus irmãos e atentou para as suas cargas; e viu um egípcio que feria a um hebreu dentre, seus irmãos. | And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren. |
Olhou para um lado e para outro, e vendo que não havia ninguém ali, matou o egipcio e escondeu-o na areia. | And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. |
Tornou a sair no dia seguinte, e eis que dois hebreus contendiam; e perguntou ao que fazia a injustiça: Por que feres a teu próximo? | And he went out the second day, and, behold, two men of the Hebrews were striving together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow? |
Respondeu ele: Quem te constituiu a ti príncipe e juiz sobre nós? Pensas tu matar-me, como mataste o egípcio? Temeu, pois, Moisés e disse: Certamente o negócio já foi descoberto. | And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? Thinkest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely the thing is known. |
E quando Faraó soube disso, procurou matar a Moisés. Este, porém, fugiu da presença de Faraó, e foi habitar na terra de Midiã; e sentou-se junto a um poço. | Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well. |
O sacerdote de Midiã tinha sete filhas, as quais vieram tirar água, e encheram os tanques para dar de beber ao rebanho de seu pai. | Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. |
Então vieram os pastores, e as expulsaram dali; Moisés, porém, levantou-se e as defendeu, e deu de beber ao rebanho delas. | And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. |
Quando elas voltaram a Reuel, seu pai, este lhes perguntou: como é que hoje voltastes tão cedo? | And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to-day? |
Responderam elas: um egípcio nos livrou da mão dos pastores; e ainda tirou água para nós e deu de beber ao rebanho. | And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock. |
E ele perguntou a suas filhas: Onde está ele; por que deixastes lá o homem? chamai-o para que coma pão. | And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? Why is it that ye have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread. |
Então Moisés concordou em marar com aquele homem, o qual lhe deu sua filha Zípora. | And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. |
E ela deu à luz um filho, a quem ele chamou Gérson, porque disse: Peregrino sou em terra estrangeira. | And she bare a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land. |
No decorrer de muitos dias, morreu o rei do Egito; e os filhos de Israel gemiam debaixo da servidão; pelo que clamaram, e subiu a Deus o seu clamor por causa dessa servidão. | And it came to pass in the course of those many days, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage. |
Então Deus, ouvindo-lhes os gemidos, lembrou-se do seu pacto com Abraão, com Isaque e com Jacó. | And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. |
E atentou Deus para os filhos de Israel; e Deus os conheceu. | And God saw the children of Israel, and God took knowledge [of them]. |
