Exodus 32
1 And when the people saw that Moses was a long time coming down from the mountain, they all came to Aaron and said to him, Come, make us a god to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us up out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea 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 Then Aaron said to them, Take off the gold rings which are in the ears of your wives and your sons and your daughters, and give 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 took the gold rings from their ears and gave 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 took the gold from them and, hammering it with an instrument, he made it into the metal image of a young ox: and they said, This is your god, O Israel, who took you 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 made an altar before it, and made a public statement, saying, Tomorrow there will be a feast to the Lord.
E Aarão, vendo isto, edificou um altar diante d'elle: e Aarão apregoou, e disse: Ámanhã será festa ao Senhor.
6 So early on the day after they got up and made burned offerings and peace-offerings; and took their seats at the feast, and then gave themselves to pleasure.
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 the Lord said to Moses, Go down quickly; for your people, whom you took out of the land of Egypt, are turned to evil ways;
Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Vae, desce; porque o teu povo, que fizeste subir do Egypto, se tem corrompido,
8 Even now they are turned away from the rule I gave them, and have made themselves a metal ox and given worship to it and offerings, saying, This is your god, O Israel, who took you 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 the Lord said to Moses, I have been watching this people, and I see that they are a stiff-necked people.
Disse mais o Senhor a Moysés: Tenho visto a este povo, e eis que é povo obstinado.
10 Now do not get in my way, for my wrath is burning against them; I will send destruction on them, but of you I will make 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 But Moses made prayer to God, saying, Lord, why is your wrath burning against your people whom you took out of the land of Egypt, with great power and with the strength of your 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 let the Egyptians say, He took them out to an evil fate, to put them to death on the mountains, cutting them off from the earth? Let your wrath be turned away from them, and send not this evil on your 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 Have in mind Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you gave your oath, saying, I will make your seed like the stars of heaven in number, and all this land will I give to your seed, as I said, to be their heritage for ever.
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 So the Lord let himself be turned from his purpose of sending punishment on his people.
Então o Senhor arrependeu-se do mal que dissera, que havia de fazer ao seu povo.
15 Then Moses came down the mountain with the two stones of the law in his hand; the stones had writing on their two sides, on the front and on the back.
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 The stones were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, cut on the stones.
E aquellas taboas eram obra de Deus; tambem a escriptura era a mesma escriptura de Deus, esculpida nas taboas.
17 Now when the noise and the voices of the people came to the ears of Joshua, he said to Moses, There is a noise of war in the tents.
E, ouvindo Josué a voz do povo que jubilava, disse a Moysés: Alarido de guerra ha no arraial.
18 And Moses said, It is not the voice of men who are overcoming in the fight, or the cry of those who have been overcome; it is the sound of songs which comes to my ear.
Porém elle disse: Não é alarido dos victoriosos, nem alarido dos vencidos, mas o alarido dos que cantam eu ouço.
19 And when he came near the tents he saw the image of the ox, and the people dancing; and in his wrath Moses let the stones go from his hands, and they were broken at the foot of the mountain.
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 ox which they had made, burning it in the fire and crushing it to powder, and he put it in the water and made the children of Israel take a 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 the people do to you that you let this great sin come on them?
E Moysés disse a Aarão: Que te tem feito este povo, que sobre elle trouxeste tamanho peccado?
22 And Aaron said, Let not my lord be angry; you have seen how the purposes of this people are 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 us a god to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us up out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea what has come to 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 Then I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let him take it off; so they gave it to me, and I put it in the fire, and this image of an ox came out.
Então eu lhes disse: Quem tem oiro, arranque-o: e deram-m'o, e lancei-o no fogo, e saiu este bezerro.
25 And Moses saw that the people were out of control, for Aaron had let them loose to their shame before their haters:
E vendo Moysés que o povo estava despido, porque Aarão o havia despido para vergonha entre os seus inimigos,
26 Then Moses took his place at the way into the tents, and said, Whoever is on the Lord's side, let him come to me. And all the sons of Levi came 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, This is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: Let every man take his sword at his side, and go from one end of the tents to the other, putting to death his brother and his friend and his neighbour.
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 as Moses said; and about three thousand of the people were put to death that day.
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, You have made yourselves priests to the Lord this day; for every one of you has made the offering of his son and his brother; the blessing of the Lord is on you 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 on the day after, Moses said to the people, Great has been your sin: but I will go up to the Lord, and see if I may get forgiveness 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 Then Moses went back to the Lord and said, This people has done a great sin, making themselves a god of gold;
Assim tornou-se Moysés ao Senhor, e disse: Ora, este povo peccou peccado grande, fazendo para si deuses d'oiro.
32 But now, if you will give them forgiveness — but if not, let my name be taken out of your book.
Agora pois perdoa o seu peccado, senão risca-me, peço-te, do teu Livro, que tens escripto.
33 And the Lord said to Moses, Whoever has done evil against me will be taken out of my book.
Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Aquelle que peccar contra mim, a este riscarei eu do meu livro.
34 But now, go, take the people into that place of which I have given you word; see, my angel will go before you: but when the time of my judging has come, I will send punishment on them for their sin.
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 the Lord sent punishment on the people because they gave worship to the ox which Aaron made.
Assim feriu o Senhor o povo, porquanto fizeram o bezerro que Aarão tinha feito.
