Exodus 4
1 And Moses, answering, said, It is certain that they will not have faith in me or give ear to my voice; for they will say, You have not seen the Lord.
Então respondeu Moysés, e disse: Mas eis que me não crerão, nem ouvirão a minha voz, porque dirão: O Senhor não te appareceu.
2 And the Lord said to him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod.
E o Senhor disse-lhe: Que é isso na tua mão? E elle disse: Uma vara.
3 And he said, Put it down on the earth. And he put it down on the earth and it became a snake; and Moses went running from it.
E elle disse: Lança-a na terra. Elle a lançou na terra, e tornou-se em cobra: e Moysés fugia d'ella.
4 And the Lord said to Moses, Put out your hand and take it by the tail: (and he put out his hand and took a grip of it and it became a rod in his hand: )
Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Estende a tua mão, e pega-lhe pela cauda, E estendeu sua mão, e pegou-lhe pela cauda, e tornou-se em vara na sua mão
5 So that they may be certain that the Lord, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has been seen by you.
Para que creiam que te appareceu o Senhor, Deus de seus paes, o Deus de Abrahão, o Deus de Isaac e o Deus de Jacob.
6 Then the Lord said to him again, Put your hand inside your clothing. And he put his hand inside his robe: and when he took it out it was like the hand of a leper, as white as snow.
E disse-lhe mais o Senhor: Mette agora a tua mão no teu seio. E, tirando-a, eis que a sua mão estava leprosa, branca como a neve.
7 And he said, Put your hand inside your robe again. (And he put his hand into his robe again, and when he took it out he saw that it had become like his other flesh.)
E disse: Torna a metter a tua mão no teu seio. E tornou a metter sua mão no seu seio: depois tirou-a do seu seio, e eis que se tornara como a sua outra carne.
8 And if they do not have faith in you or give ear to the voice of the first sign, they will have faith in the second sign.
E acontecerá que, se elles te não crerem, nem ouvirem a voz do primeiro signal, crerão a voz do derradeiro signal;
9 And if they have no faith even in these two signs and will not give ear to your voice, then you are to take the water of the Nile and put it on the dry land: and the water you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land.
E se acontecer que ainda não creiam a estes dois signaes, nem ouvirem a tua voz, tomarás das aguas do rio, e as derramarás na terra secca: e as aguas, que tomarás do rio, tornar-se-hão em sangue sobre a terra secca.
10 And Moses said to the Lord, O Lord, I am not a man of words; I have never been so, and am not now, even after what you have said to your servant: for talking is hard for me, and I am slow of tongue.
Então disse Moysés ao Senhor: Ah Senhor! eu não sou homem que bem falla, nem de hontem nem de antehontem, nem ainda desde que tens fallado ao teu servo; porque sou pesado de bocca, e pesado de lingua.
11 And the Lord said to him, Who has made man's mouth? who takes away a man's voice or hearing, or makes him seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?
E disse-lhe o Senhor: Quem fez a bocca do homem? ou quem fez o mudo, ou o surdo, ou o que vê, ou o cego? não sou eu, o Senhor?
12 So go now, and I will be with your mouth, teaching you what to say.
Vae pois agora, e eu serei com a tua bocca, e te ensinarei o que has de fallar.
13 And he said, O Lord, send, if you will, by the hand of anyone whom it seems good to you to send.
Elle porém disse: Ah Senhor! envia pela mão d'aquelle a quem tu has de enviar.
14 And the Lord was angry with Moses, and said, Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? To my knowledge he is good at talking. And now he is coming out to you: and when he sees you he will be glad in his heart.
Então se accendeu a ira do Senhor contra Moysés, e disse: Não é Aarão, o levita, teu irmão? eu sei que elle fallará muito bem: e eis que elle tambem sae ao teu encontro; e, vendo-te, se alegrará em seu coração
15 Let him give ear to your voice, and you will put my words in his mouth; and I will be with your mouth and with his, teaching you what you have to do.
E tu lhe fallarás, e porás as palavras na sua bocca: e eu serei com a tua bocca, e com a sua bocca, ensinando-vos o que haveis de fazer.
16 And he will do the talking for you to the people: he will be to you as a mouth and you will be to him as God.
E elle fallará por ti ao povo: e aconlecerá que elle te será por bocca, e tu lhe serás por Deus.
17 And take in your hand this rod with which you will do the signs.
Toma pois esta vara na tua mão, com que farás os signaes.
18 And Moses went back to Jethro, his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go back now to my relations in Egypt and see if they are still living. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
Então foi-se Moysés, e voltou para Jethro seu sogro, e disse-lhe; Eu irei agora, e tornarei a meus irmãos, que estão no Egypto, para ver se ainda vivem. Disse pois Jethro a Moysés: Vae em paz.
19 And the Lord said to Moses in Midian, Go back to Egypt, for all the men are dead who were attempting to take your life.
Disse tambem o Senhor a Moysés em Midian: Vae, volta para o Egypto; porque todos os que buscavam a tua alma morreram.
20 And Moses took his wife and his sons and put them on an ass and went back to the land of Egypt: and he took the rod of God in his hand.
Tomou pois Moysés sua mulher e seus filhos, e os levou sobre um jumento, e tornou-se á terra do Egypto; e Moysés tomou a vara de Deus na sua mão.
21 And the Lord said to Moses, When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have given you power to do: but I will make his heart hard and he will not let the people go.
E disse o Senhor a Moysés: Quando fores tornado ao Egypto, attenta que faças diante de Pharaó todas as maravi-lhas que tenho posto na tua mão: mas eu endurecerei o seu coração, para que não deixe ir o povo
22 And you are to say to Pharaoh, The Lord says, Israel is the first of my sons:
Então dirás a Pharaó: Assim diz o Senhor: Israel é meu filho, meu primogenito.
23 And I said to you, Let my son go, so that he may give me worship; and you did not let him go: so now I will put the first of your sons to death.
E eu te tenho dito: Deixa ir o meu filho, para que me sirva; mas tu recusaste deixal-o ir: eis que eu matarei a teu filho, o teu primogenito.
24 Now on the journey, at the night's resting-place, the Lord came in his way and would have put him to death.
E aconteceu no caminho, n'uma estalagem, que o Senhor o encontrou, e o quiz matar.
25 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cutting off the skin of her son's private parts, and touching his feet with it, she said, Truly you are a husband of blood to me.
Então Zippora tomou uma pedra aguda, e circumcidou o prepucio de seu filho, e o lançou a seus pés, e disse: Certamente me és um esposo sanguinario.
26 So he let him go. Then she said, You are a husband of blood because of the circumcision.
E desviou-se d'elle. Então ella disse: Esposo sanguinario, por causa da circumcisão.
27 And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the waste land and you will see Moses. So he went and came across Moses at the mountain of God, and gave him a kiss.
Disse tambem o Senhor a Aarão: Vae ao encontro de Moysés ao deserto. E elle foi, encontrou-o no monte de Deus, e beijou-o.
28 And Moses gave Aaron an account of all the words of the Lord which he had sent him to say, and of all the signs which he had given him orders to do.
E denunciou Moysés a Aarão todas as palavras do Senhor, que o enviara, e todos os signaes que lhe mandara.
29 Then Moses and Aaron went and got together all the chiefs of the children of Israel:
Então foram Moysés e Aarão, e ajuntaram todos os anciãos dos filhos de Israel.
30 And Aaron said to them all the words the Lord had said to Moses, and did the signs before all the people.
E Aarão fallou todas as palavras que o Senhor fallara a Moysés, e fez os signaes perante os olhos do povo,
31 And the people had faith in them; and hearing that the Lord had taken up the cause of the children of Israel and had seen their troubles, with bent heads they gave him worship.
E o povo creu, e ouviram que o Senhor visitava aos filhos d'Israel, e que via a sua afflicção: e inclinaram-se, e adoraram.
