< Exodus 32 >
1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, Up, make gods for us, which shall go before us. For as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has become of him.
Mas vendo o povo que Moysés tardava em descer do monte, ajuntou-se o povo a Aarão, e disseram-lhe: Levanta-te, faze-nos deuses, que vão adiante de nós: porque emquanto a este Moysés, a este homem que nos tirou da terra do Egypto, não sabemos o que lhe succedeu.
2 And Aaron said to them, Break off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me.
E Aarão lhes disse: Arrancae os pendentes de oiro, que estão nas orelhas de vossas mulheres, e de vossos filhos, e de vossas filhas, e trazeim'os.
3 And all the people broke off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
Então todo o povo arrancou os pendentes de oiro, que estavam nas suas orelhas, e os trouxeram a Aarão,
4 And he received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf. And they said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
E elle os tomou das suas mãos, e formou o oiro com um buril, e fez d'elle um bezerro de fundição. Então disseram: Estes são teus deuses, ó Israel, que te tiraram da terra do Egypto.
5 And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow shall be a feast to Jehovah.
E Aarão, vendo isto, edificou um altar diante d'elle: e Aarão apregoou, e disse: Ámanhã será festa ao Senhor.
6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to revel.
E no dia seguinte madrugaram, e offereceram holocaustos, e trouxeram offertas pacificas; e o povo assentou-se a comer e a beber; depois levantaram-se a folgar.
7 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, Go, get thee down. For thy people, that thou brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.
Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Vae, desce; porque o teu povo, que fizeste subir do Egypto, se tem corrompido,
8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made for them a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
E depressa se tem desviado do caminho que eu lhes tinha ordenado: fizeram para si um bezerro de fundição, e perante elle se inclinaram, e sacrificaram-lhe, e disseram: Estes são os teus deuses, ó Israel, que te tiraram da terra do Egypto.
9 And Jehovah said to Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
Disse mais o Senhor a Moysés: Tenho visto a este povo, e eis que é povo obstinado.
10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may grow hot against them, and that I may consume them. And I will make of thee a great nation.
Agora pois deixa-me que o meu furor se accenda contra elles, e os consuma: e eu te farei uma grande nação.
11 And Moses besought Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, why does thy wrath grow hot against thy people, whom thou have brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
Porém Moysés supplicou ao Senhor seu Deus, e disse: O Senhor, porque se accende o teu furor contra o teu povo, que tu tiraste da terra do Egypto com grande força e com forte mão?
12 Why should the Egyptians speak, saying, He brought them forth for evil, to kill them on the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and relent of this evil against thy people.
Porque hão de fallar os egypcios, dizendo: Para mal os tirou, para matal-os nos montes, e para destruil-os da face da terra? Torna-te da ira do teu furor, e arrepende-te d'este mal contra o teu povo.
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swore by thine own self, and said to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven. And all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your seed, and they shall inherit it forever.
Lembra-te de Abrahão, de Isaac, e de Israel, os teus servos, aos quaes por ti mesmo tens jurado, e lhes disseste: Multiplicarei a vossa semente como as estrellas dos céus, e darei á vossa semente toda esta terra, de que tenho dito, para que a possuam por herança eternamente.
14 And Jehovah relented of the evil which he said he would do to his people.
Então o Senhor arrependeu-se do mal que dissera, que havia de fazer ao seu povo.
15 And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, tablets that were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.
E tornou-se Moysés, e desceu do monte com as duas taboas do testemunho na sua mão, taboas escriptas de ambas as bandas; de uma e de outra banda escriptas estavam,
16 And the tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved upon the tablets.
E aquellas taboas eram obra de Deus; tambem a escriptura era a mesma escriptura de Deus, esculpida nas taboas.
17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
E, ouvindo Josué a voz do povo que jubilava, disse a Moysés: Alarido de guerra ha no arraial.
18 And he said, It is not the voice of those who shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of those who cry for being overcome, but the noise of those who sing do I hear.
Porém elle disse: Não é alarido dos victoriosos, nem alarido dos vencidos, mas o alarido dos que cantam eu ouço.
19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came near to the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing. And Moses' anger grew hot, and he cast the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mount.
E aconteceu que, chegando elle ao arraial, e vendo o bezerro e as danças, accendeu-se o furor de Moysés, e arremessou as taboas das suas mãos, e quebrou-as ao pé do monte;
20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it with fire, and ground it to powder, and scattered it upon the water, and made the sons of Israel drink of it.
E tomou o bezerro que tinham feito, e queimou-o no fogo, moendo-o até que se tornou em pó; e o espargiu sobre as aguas, e deu-o a beber aos filhos de Israel.
21 And Moses said to Aaron, What did this people do to thee, that thou have brought a great sin upon them?
E Moysés disse a Aarão: Que te tem feito este povo, que sobre elle trouxeste tamanho peccado?
22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord grow hot. Thou know the people, that they are set on evil.
Então disse Aarão: Não se accenda a ira do meu senhor: tu sabes que este povo é inclinado ao mal
23 For they said to me, Make gods for us, which shall go before us. For as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has become of him.
E elles me disseram: Faze-nos deuses que vão adiante de nós; porque não sabemos que succedeu a este Moysés, a este homem que nos tirou da terra do Egypto.
24 And I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it to me, and I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
Então eu lhes disse: Quem tem oiro, arranque-o: e deram-m'o, e lancei-o no fogo, e saiu este bezerro.
25 And when Moses saw that the people were broken loose, (for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies, )
E vendo Moysés que o povo estava despido, porque Aarão o havia despido para vergonha entre os seus inimigos,
26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Whoever is on Jehovah's side, come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
Poz-se em pé Moysés na porta do arraial, e disse: Quem é do Senhor, venha a mim. Então se ajuntaram a elle todos os filhos de Levi.
27 And he said to them, Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.
E disse-lhes: Assim diz o Senhor, o Deus de Israel: Cada um ponha a sua espada sobre a sua coxa: e passae e tornae pelo arraial de porta em porta, e mate cada um a seu irmão, e cada um a seu amigo, e cada um a seu proximo.
28 And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. And there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
E os filhos de Levi fizeram conforme á palavra de Moysés: e cairam do povo aquelle dia uns tres mil homens.
29 And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves today to Jehovah, yea, every man against his son, and against his brother, that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
Porquanto Moysés tinha dito: Consagrae hoje as vossas mãos ao Senhor; porquanto cada um será contra o seu filho, e contra o seu irmão: e isto para elle vos dar hoje benção.
30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said to the people, Ye have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to Jehovah, perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin.
E aconteceu que no dia seguinte Moysés disse ao povo: Vós peccastes grande peccado: agora porém subirei ao Senhor; porventura farei propiciação por vosso peccado.
31 And Moses returned to Jehovah, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made gods of gold for them.
Assim tornou-se Moysés ao Senhor, e disse: Ora, este povo peccou peccado grande, fazendo para si deuses d'oiro.
32 Yet now, if thou will forgive their sin-, and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou have written.
Agora pois perdoa o seu peccado, senão risca-me, peço-te, do teu Livro, que tens escripto.
33 And Jehovah said to Moses, Whoever has sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Aquelle que peccar contra mim, a este riscarei eu do meu livro.
34 And now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to thee. Behold, my agent shall go before thee. Nevertheless in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them.
Vae pois agora, conduze este povo para onde te tenho dito: eis que o meu anjo irá adiante de ti; porém no dia da minha visitação visitarei n'elles o seu peccado.
35 And Jehovah smote the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
Assim feriu o Senhor o povo, porquanto fizeram o bezerro que Aarão tinha feito.
