Exodus 14
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
Então fallou o Senhor a Moysés, dizendo:
2 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.
Falla aos filhos de Israel que tornem, e que se acampem diante de Pi-hahiroth, entre Migdol e o mar, diante de Baal-zephon: em frente d'elle assentareis o campo junto ao mar.
3 And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are wandering without direction, they are shut in by the waste land.
Então Pharaó dirá dos filhos de Israel: Estão embaraçados na terra, o deserto os encerrou.
4 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.
E eu endurecerei o coração de Pharaó, para que os persiga, e serei glorificado em Pharaó em todo o seu exercito, e saberão os egypcios que eu sou o Senhor. E elles fizeram assim.
5 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?
Sendo pois annunciado ao rei do Egypto que o povo fugia, mudou-se o coração de Pharaó e dos seus servos contra o povo, e disseram: Porque fizemos isso, havendo deixado ir a Israel, que nos não sirva?
6 So he had his war-carriage made ready and took his people with him:
E apromptou o seu carro, e tomou comsigo o seu povo;
7 And he took six hundred carriages, all the carriages of Egypt, and captains over all of them.
E tomou seiscentos carros escolhidos, e todos os carros do Egypto, e os capitães sobre elles todos.
8 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 Pharaó, rei do Egypto, que perseguisse aos filhos de Israel: porém os filhos de Israel sairam com alta mão
9 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.
E os egypcios perseguiram-n'os, todos os cavallos e carros de Pharaó, e os seus cavalleiros, e o seu exercito, e alcançaram-n'os acampados junto ao mar, perto de Pi-hahiroth, diante de Baal-zephon.
10 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.
E, chegando Pharaó, os filhos de Israel levantaram seus olhos, e eis que os egypcios vinham atraz d'elles, e temeram muito; então os filhos de Israel clamaram ao Senhor.
11 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 Moysés: Não havia sepulchros no Egypto, que nos tiraste de lá, para que morramos n'este deserto? porque nos fizeste isto, que nos tens tirado do Egypto?
12 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 esta a palavra que te temos fallado no Egypto, dizendo: Deixa-nos, que sirvamos aos egypcios? pois que melhor nos fôra servir aos egypcios, do que morrermos no deserto.
13 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.
Moysés, porém, disse ao povo: Não temaes; estae quietos, e vêde o livramento do Senhor, que hoje vos fará: porque aos egypcios, que hoje vistes, nunca mais vereis para sempre:
14 The Lord will make war for you, you have only to keep quiet.
O Senhor pelejará por vós, e vos calareis.
15 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 Moysés: Porque clamas a mim? dize aos filhos de Israel que marchem.
16 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 tua mão sobre o mar, e fende-o, para que os filhos de Israel passem pelo meio do mar em secco.
17 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.
E eu, eis que endurecerei o coração dos egypcios, para que entrem n'elle atraz d'elles; e eu serei glorificado em Pharaó, e em todo o seu exercito, nos seus carros e nos seus cavalleiros,
18 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 egypcios saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando fôr glorificado em Pharaó, nos seus carros e nos seus cavalleiros.
19 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:
E o anjo de Deus, que ia diante do exercito d'Israel, se retirou, e ia detraz d'elles: tambem a columna de nuvem se retirou de diante d'elles, e se poz atraz d'elles,
20 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.
E ia entre o campo dos egypcios e o campo d'Israel: e a nuvem era escuridade para aquelles, e para estes esclarecia a noite: de maneira que em toda a noite não chegou um ao outro.
21 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 Moysés estendeu a sua mão sobre o mar, e o Senhor fez retirar o mar por um forte vento oriental toda aquella noite; e o mar tornou-se em secco, e as aguas foram partidas.
22 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 d'Israel entraram pelo meio do mar em secco: e as aguas foram-lhes como muro á sua direita e á sua esquerda.
23 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 egypcios seguiram-n'os, e entraram atraz d'elles todos os cavallos de Pharaó, os seus carros e os seus cavalleiros, até ao meio do mar.
24 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;
E aconteceu que, na vigilia d'aquella manhã, o Senhor, na columna do fogo e da nuvem, viu o campo dos egypcios: e alvorotou o campo dos egypcios,
25 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.
E tirou-lhes as rodas dos seus carros, e fel-os andar difficultosamente. Então disseram os egypcios: Fujamos da face d'Israel, porque o Senhor por elles peleja contra os egypcios.
26 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.
E disse o Senhor a Moysés: Estende a tua mão sobre o mar, para que as aguas tornem sobre os egypcios, sobre os seus carros e sobre os seus cavalleiros.
27 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 Moysés estendeu a sua mão sobre o mar, e o mar tornou-se em sua força ao amanhecer, e os egypcios fugiram ao seu encontro: e o Senhor derribou os egypcios no meio do mar
28 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.
Porque as aguas, tornando, cobriram os carros e os cavalleiros de todo o exercito de Pharaó, que os haviam seguido no mar: nem ainda um d'elles ficou.
29 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 d'Israel foram pelo meio do mar secco: e as aguas foram-lhes como muro á sua mão direita e á sua esquerda.
30 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 salvou Israel n'aquelle dia da mão dos egypcios: e Israel viu os egypcios mortos na praia do mar.
31 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 mão que o Senhor mostrara aos egypcios; e temeu o povo ao Senhor, e creram no Senhor e em Moysés, seu servo.
