Exodus 19
1 In the third month after the children of Israel went out from Egypt, on the same day, they came into the waste land of Sinai.
Ao terceiro mez da saida dos filhos de Israel da terra do Egypto, no mesmo dia vieram ao deserto de Sinai,
2 And when they had gone away from Rephidim and had come into the waste land of Sinai, they put up their tents in the waste land before the mountain: there Israel put up its tents.
Porque partiram de Rephidim e vieram ao deserto de Sinai, e acamparam-se no deserto: Israel pois ali acampou-se defronte do monte.
3 And Moses went up to God, and the voice of the Lord came to him from the mountain, saying, Say to the family of Jacob, and give word to the children of Israel:
E subiu Moysés a Deus, e o Senhor o chamou do monte, dizendo: Assim fallarás á casa de Jacob, e annunciarás aos filhos de Israel:
4 You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I took you, as on eagles' wings, guiding you to myself.
Vós tendes visto o que fiz aos egypcios, como vos levei sobre azas d'aguias, e vos trouxe a mim;
5 If now you will truly give ear to my voice and keep my agreement, you will be my special property out of all the peoples: for all the earth is mine:
Agora pois, se diligentemente ouvirdes a minha voz, e guardardes o meu concerto, então sereis a minha propriedade peculiar d'entre todos os povos: porque toda a terra é minha.
6 And you will be a kingdom of priests to me, and a holy nation. These are the words which you are to say to the children of Israel.
E vós me sereis um reino sacerdotal e o povo sancto. Estas são as palavras que fallarás aos filhos de Israel.
7 And Moses came and sent for the chiefs of the people and put before them all these words which the Lord had given him orders to say.
E veiu Moysés, e chamou os anciãos do povo, e expoz diante d'elles todas estas palavras, que o Senhor lhe tinha ordenado.
8 And all the people, answering together, said, Whatever the Lord has said we will do. And Moses took back to the Lord the words of the people.
Então todo o povo respondeu a uma voz, e disseram: Tudo o que o Senhor tem fallado, faremos. E relatou Moysés ao Senhor as palavras do povo.
9 And the Lord said to Moses, See, I will come to you in a thick cloud, so that what I say to you may come to the ears of the people and they may have belief in you for ever. And Moses gave the Lord word of what the people had said.
E disse o Senhor a Moysés; Eis que eu virei a ti n'uma nuvem espessa, para que o povo ouça, fallando eu comtigo, e para que tambem te creiam eternamente. Porque Moysés tinha annunciado as palavras do seu povo ao Senhor.
10 And the Lord said to Moses, Go to the people and make them holy today and tomorrow, and let their clothing be washed.
Disse tambem o Senhor a Moysés: Vae ao povo, e sanctifica-os hoje e ámanhã, e lavem elles os seus vestidos,
11 And by the third day let them be ready: for on the third day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai, before the eyes of all the people.
E estejam promptos para o terceiro dia: porquanto no terceiro dia o Senhor descerá ante dos olhos de todo o povo sobre o monte de Sinai.
12 And let limits be marked out for the people round the mountain, and say to them, Take care not to go up the mountain or near the sides of it: whoever puts his foot on the mountain will certainly come to his death:
E marcarás limites ao povo em redor, dizendo: Guardae-vos que não subaes ao monte, nem toqueis o seu termo; todo aquelle, que tocar o monte, certamente morrerá.
13 He is not to be touched by a hand, but is to be stoned or have an arrow put through him; man or beast, he is to be put to death: at the long sounding of a horn they may come up to the mountain.
Nenhuma mão tocará n'elle: porque certamente será apedrejado ou asseteado; quer seja animal, quer seja homem, não viverá; soando a buzina longamente, então subirão ao monte.
14 Then Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and made the people holy; and their clothing was washed.
Então Moysés desceu do monte ao povo, e sanctificou o povo; e lavaram os seus vestidos.
15 And he said to the people, Be ready by the third day: do not come near a woman.
E disse ao povo: Estae promptos ao terceiro dia; e não chegueis a mulher.
16 And when morning came on the third day, there were thunders and flames and a thick cloud on the mountain, and a horn sounding very loud; and all the people in the tents were shaking with fear.
E aconteceu ao terceiro dia, ao amanhecer, que houve trovões e relampagos sobre o monte, e uma espessa nuvem, e um sonido de buzina mui forte, de maneira que estremeceu todo o povo que estava no arraial.
17 And Moses made the people come out of their tents and take their places before God; and they came to the foot of the mountain,
E Moysés levou o povo fóra do arraial ao encontro de Deus; e puzeram-se ao pé do monte.
18 And all the mountain of Sinai was smoking, for the Lord had come down on it in fire: and the smoke of it went up like the smoke of a great burning; and all the mountain was shaking.
E todo o monte de Sinai fumegava, porque o Senhor descera sobre elle em fogo: e o seu fumo subiu como fumo d'um forno, e todo o monte tremia grandemente.
19 And when the sound of the horn became louder and louder, Moses' words were answered by the voice of God.
E o sonido da buzina ia esforçando-se em grande maneira: Moysés fallava, e Deus lhe respondia em voz alta.
20 Then the Lord came down on to Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain, and the Lord sent for Moses to come up to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
E, descendo o Senhor sobre o monte de Sinai, sobre o cume do monte, chamou o Senhor a Moysés ao cume do monte; e Moysés subiu.
21 And the Lord said to Moses, Go down and give the people orders to keep back, for fear that a great number of them, forcing their way through to see the Lord, may come to destruction.
E disse o Senhor a Moysés: Desce, protesta ao povo que não trespassem o termo, para ver o Senhor, e muitos d'elles perecerem.
22 And let the priests who come near to the Lord make themselves holy, for fear that the Lord may come on them suddenly.
E tambem os sacerdotes, que se chegam ao Senhor, se hão de sanctificar, para que o Senhor não se lance sobre elles.
23 And Moses said to the Lord, The people will not be able to come up the mountain, for you gave us orders to put limits round the mountain, marking it out and making it holy.
Então disse Moysés ao Senhor: O povo não poderá subir ao monte de Sinai, porque tu nos tens protestado, dizendo: Marca termos ao monte, e sanctifica-o.
24 And the Lord said to him, Go down, and you and Aaron may come up; but let not the priests and the people make their way through to the Lord, or he will come on them suddenly.
E disse-lhe o Senhor: Vae, desce: depois subirás tu, e Aarão comtigo: os sacerdotes, porém, e o povo não trespassem o termo para subir ao Senhor, para que não se lance sobre elles.
25 So Moses went down to the people and said this to them.
Então Moysés desceu ao povo, e disse-lhes isto.
