< Exodus 7 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, I have made you a god to Pharao, and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
O SENHOR disse a Moisés: Olha, eu te constituí como um deus para Faraó, e teu irmão Arão será teu profeta.
2 And you shall say to him all things that I charge you, and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharao, that he should send forth the children of Israel out of his land.
Tu dirás todas as coisas que eu te mandarei, e Arão teu irmão falará a Faraó, para que deixe os filhos de Israel saírem de sua terra.
3 And I will harden the heart of Pharao, and I will multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.
E eu endurecerei o coração de Faraó, e multiplicarei na terra do Egito meus sinais e minhas maravilhas.
4 And Pharao will not listen to you, and I will lay my hand upon Egypt; and will bring out my people the children of Israel with my power out of the land of Egypt with great vengeance.
E Faraó não vos ouvirá; mas eu porei minha mão sobre o Egito, e tirarei meus exércitos, meu povo, os filhos de Israel, da terra do Egito, com grandes juízos.
5 And all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, stretching out my hand upon Egypt, and I will bring out the children of Israel out of the midst of them.
E os egípcios saberão que eu sou o SENHOR, quando eu estender minha mão sobre o Egito, e tirar os filhos de Israel do meio deles.
6 And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them, so did they.
E fez Moisés e Arão como o SENHOR lhes mandou; fizeram-no assim.
7 And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron his brother was eighty-three years old, when he spoke to Pharao.
E era Moisés de idade de oitenta anos, e Arão de idade de oitenta e três, quando falaram a Faraó.
8 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
E falou o SENHOR a Moisés e a Arão, dizendo:
9 Now if Pharao should speak to you, saying, Give us a sign or a wonder, then shall you say to your brother Aaron, Take your rod and cast it upon the ground before Pharao, and before his servants, and it shall become a serpent.
Se Faraó vos responder dizendo, Mostrai milagre; dirás a Arão: Toma tua vara, e lança-a diante de Faraó, para que se torne cobra.
10 And Moses and Aaron went in before Pharao, and [before] his servants, and they did so, as the Lord commanded them; and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharao, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
Vieram, pois, Moisés e Arão a Faraó, e fizeram como o SENHOR o havia mandado; e Arão lançou sua vara diante de Faraó e de seus servos, e tornou-se cobra.
11 But Pharao called together the wise men of Egypt, and the sorcerers, and the charmers also of the Egyptians did likewise with their sorceries.
Então Faraó chamou também sábios e encantadores; e os encantadores do Egito com seus encantamentos fizeram também o mesmo;
12 And they cast down each his rod, and they became serpents, but the rod of Aaron swallowed up their rods.
Pois lançou cada um sua vara, as quais se tornaram cobras; mas a vara de Arão devorou as varas deles.
13 and the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he listened not to them, as the Lord charged them.
E o coração de Faraó se endureceu, e não os escutou; como o SENHOR o havia dito.
14 and the Lord said to Moses, The heart of Pharao is made hard, so that he should not let the people go.
Então o SENHOR disse a Moisés: O coração de Faraó está endurecido, que não quer deixar o povo ir.
15 Go to Pharao early in the morning: behold, he goes forth to the water; and you shall meet him on the bank of the river, and you shall take in your hand the rod that was turned into a serpent.
Vai pela manhã a Faraó, eis que ele estará saindo às águas; e põe-te à beira do rio diante dele, e toma em tua mão a vara que se tornou cobra,
16 And you shall say to him, The Lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, Send my people away, that they may serve me in the wilderness, and, behold, hitherto you have not listened.
E dize-lhe: O SENHOR, o Deus dos hebreus, me enviou a ti, dizendo: Deixa meu povo ir, para que me sirvam no deserto; e eis que até agora não quiseste ouvir.
17 These things says the Lord: Hereby shall you know that I am the Lord: behold, I strike with the rod that is in my hand on the water which is in the river, and it shall change it into blood.
Assim disse o SENHOR: Nisto conhecerás que eu sou o SENHOR: eis que ferirei com a vara que tenho em minha mão a água que está no rio, e se converterá em sangue:
18 And the fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall stink thereupon, and the Egyptians shall not be able to drink water from the river.
E os peixes que há no rio morrerão, e federá o rio, e os egípcios terão asco de beber a água do rio.
19 And the Lord said to Moses, Say to your brother Aaron, Take your rod in your hand, and stretch forth your hand over the waters of Egypt, and over their rivers, and over their canals, and over their ponds, and over all their standing water, and it shall become blood: and there was blood in all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and of stone.
E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Dize a Arão: Toma tua vara, e estende tua mão sobre as águas do Egito, sobre seus rios, sobre seus ribeiros e sobre seus tanques, e sobre todos os seus depósitos de águas, para que se convertam em sangue, e haja sangue por toda a região do Egito, tanto nos vasos de madeira como nos de pedra.
20 and Moses and Aaron did so, as the Lord commanded them; and [Aaron] having lifted up [his hand] with his rod, struck the water in the river before Pharao, and before his servants, and changed all the water in the river into blood.
E Moisés e Arão fizeram como o SENHOR havia mandado; e levantando a vara feriu as águas que havia no rio, em presença de Faraó e de seus servos; e todas as águas que havia no rio se converteram em sangue.
21 And the fish in the river died, and the river stank thereupon; and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river, and the blood was in all the land of Egypt.
Assim os peixes que havia no rio morreram; e o rio se contaminou, que os egípcios não podiam beber dele; e houve sangue por toda a terra do Egito.
22 And the charmers also of the Egyptians did so with their sorceries; and the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he did not listen to them, even as the Lord said.
E os encantadores do Egito fizeram o mesmo com seus encantamentos: e o coração de Faraó se endureceu, e não os escutou; como o SENHOR o havia dito.
23 And Pharao turned and entered into his house, nor did he fix his attention even on this thing.
E Faraó, tornando, voltou-se a sua casa, e não pôs seu coração ainda nisto.
24 And all the Egyptians dug round about the river, so as to drink water, for they could not drink water from the river.
E por todo o Egito fizeram poços ao redor do rio para beber, porque não podiam beber das águas do rio.
25 and seven days were fulfilled after the Lord has struck the river.
E cumpriram-se sete dias depois que o SENHOR feriu o rio.
