Exodus 2
1 And there was a certain man of the tribe of Levi, who took as wife one of the daughters of Levi.
Um homem da família de Levi foi, e tomou por mulher uma filha de Levi:
2 And she conceived, and bore a male child; and having seen that he was fair, they hid him three months.
A qual concebeu, e deu à luz um filho: e vendo-o que era belo, teve-lhe escondido três meses.
3 And when they could no longer hide him, his mother took for him an ark, and besmeared it with bitumen, and cast the child into it, and put it in the ooze by the river.
Porém não podendo ocultar-lhe mais tempo, tomou uma cesta de juncos, e vedou-a com piche e betume, e colocou nela ao menino, e o pôs entre os juncos à beira do rio:
4 And his sister was watching from a distance, to learn what would happen to him.
E ficou parada uma irmã sua ao longe, para ver o que lhe aconteceria.
5 And the daughter of Pharao came down to the river to bathe; and her maids walked by the river's side, and having seen the ark in the ooze, she sent her maid, and took it up.
E a filha de Faraó desceu a lavar-se ao rio, e passeando suas virgens pela beira do rio, viu ela a cesta entre os juncos, e enviou uma criada sua a que a tomasse.
6 And having opened it, she sees the babe weeping in the ark: and the daughter of Pharao had compassion on it, and said, This [is one] of the Hebrew's children.
E quando a abriu, viu ao menino; e eis que o menino chorava. E tendo compaixão dele, disse: Dos meninos dos hebreus é este.
7 And his sister said to the daughter of Pharao, Will you that I call to you a nurse of the Hebrews, and shall she suckle the child for you?
Então sua irmã disse à filha de Faraó: Irei a chamar-te uma ama das hebreias, para que te crie este menino?
8 And the daughter of Pharao said, Go: and the young woman went, and called the mother of the child.
E a filha de Faraó respondeu: Vai. Então foi a virgem, e chamou à mãe do menino;
9 And the daughter of Pharao said to her, Take care of this child, and suckled it for me, and I will give you the wages; and the woman took the child, and suckled it.
À qual disse a filha de Faraó: Leva este menino, e cria-o para mim, e eu te o pagarei. E a mulher tomou ao menino, e o criou.
10 And when the boy was grown, she brought him to the daughter of Pharao, and he became her son; and she called his name, Moses, saying, I took him out of the water.
E quando cresceu o menino, ela o trouxe à filha de Faraó, a qual o adotou, e pôs-lhe por nome Moisés, dizendo: Porque das águas o tirei.
11 And it came to pass in that length of time, that Moses having grown, went out to his brethren the sons of Israel: and having noticed their distress, he sees an Egyptian striking a certain Hebrew of his brethren the children of Israel.
E naqueles dias aconteceu que, crescido já Moisés, saiu a seus irmãos, e viu suas cargas: e observou a um egípcio que feria a um dos hebreus, seus irmãos.
12 And having looked round this way and that way, he sees no one; and he struck the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
E olhou a todas as partes, e vendo que não parecia ninguém, matou ao egípcio, e escondeu-o na areia.
13 And having gone out the second day he sees two Hebrew men fighting; and he says to the injurer, Therefore smite you your neighbour?
E saiu ao dia seguinte, e vendo a dois hebreus que brigavam, disse ao que fazia a injúria: Por que feres a teu próximo?
14 And he said, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? will you kill me as you yesterday killed the Egyptian? Then Moses was alarmed, and said, If [it be] thus, this matter has become known.
E ele respondeu: Quem te pôs a ti por príncipe e juiz sobre nós? Pensas matar-me como mataste ao egípcio? Então Moisés teve medo, e disse: Certamente esta coisa é descoberta.
15 And Pharao heard this matter, and sought to kill Moses; and Moses departed from the presence of Pharao, and lived in the land of Madiam; and having come into the land of Madiam, he sat on the well.
E ouvindo Faraó este negócio, procurou matar a Moisés: mas Moisés fugiu de diante de Faraó, e habitou na terra de Midiã; e sentou-se junto a um poço.
16 And the priest of Madiam had seven daughters, feeding the flock of their father Jothor; and they came and drew water until they filled their pitchers, to water the flock of their father Jothor.
Tinha o sacerdote de Midiã sete filhas, as quais vieram a tirar água, para encher os bebedouros e dar de beber as ovelhas de seu pai.
17 And the shepherds came, and were driving them away; and Moses rose up and rescued them, and drew water for them, and watered their sheep.
Mas os pastores vieram, e expulsaram-nas: Então Moisés se levantou e defendeu-as, e deu de beber às suas ovelhas.
18 And they came to Raguel their father; and he said to them, Why have you come so quickly today?
E voltando elas a Reuel seu pai, disse-lhes ele: Por que viestes hoje tão cedo?
19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us from the shepherds, and drew water for us and watered our sheep.
E elas responderam: Um homem egípcio nos defendeu da mão dos pastores, e também tirou a água, e deu de beber as as ovelhas.
20 And he said to his daughters, And where is he? and why have you left the man? call him therefore, that he may eat bread.
E disse a suas filhas: E onde está? Por que deixastes esse homem? Chamai-lhe para que coma pão.
21 And Moses was established with the man, and he gave Sepphora his daughter to Moses to wife.
E Moisés concordou em morar com aquele homem; e ele deu a Moisés a sua filha Zípora:
22 And the woman conceived and bore a son, and Moses called his name Gersam, saying, I am a sojourner in a strange land.
A qual lhe deu à luz um filho, e ele lhe pôs por nome Gérson: porque disse: Peregrino sou em terra alheia.
23 And in those days after a length of time, the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel groaned because of their tasks, and cried, and their cry because of their tasks went up to God.
E aconteceu que depois de muitos dias morreu o rei do Egito, e os filhos de Israel suspiraram por causa da servidão, e clamaram: e subiu a Deus o clamor deles com motivo de sua servidão.
24 And God heard their groanings, and God remembered his covenant made with Abraam and Isaac and Jacob.
E ouviu Deus o gemido deles, e lembrou-se de seu pacto com Abraão, Isaque e Jacó.
25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and was made known to them.
Deus olhou os filhos de Israel, e Deus os reconheceu.
