Exodus 14
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Então fallou o Senhor a Moysés, dizendo:
2 'Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal-zephon, over against it shall ye encamp by the sea.
Falla aos filhos de Israel que tornem, e que se acampem diante de Pi-hahiroth, entre Migdol e o mar, diante de Baal-zephon: em frente d'elle assentareis o campo junto ao mar.
3 And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel: They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
Então Pharaó dirá dos filhos de Israel: Estão embaraçados na terra, o deserto os encerrou.
4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he shall follow after them; and I will get Me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; and the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD.' And they did so.
E eu endurecerei o coração de Pharaó, para que os persiga, e serei glorificado em Pharaó em todo o seu exercito, e saberão os egypcios que eu sou o Senhor. E elles fizeram assim.
5 And it was told the king of Egypt that the people were fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned towards the people, and they said: 'What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
Sendo pois annunciado ao rei do Egypto que o povo fugia, mudou-se o coração de Pharaó e dos seus servos contra o povo, e disseram: Porque fizemos isso, havendo deixado ir a Israel, que nos não sirva?
6 And he made ready his chariots, and took his people with him.
E apromptou o seu carro, e tomou comsigo o seu povo;
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over all of them.
E tomou seiscentos carros escolhidos, e todos os carros do Egypto, e os capitães sobre elles todos.
8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went out with a high hand.
Porque o Senhor endureceu o coração de Pharaó, rei do Egypto, que perseguisse aos filhos de Israel: porém os filhos de Israel sairam com alta mão
9 And the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon.
E os egypcios perseguiram-n'os, todos os cavallos e carros de Pharaó, e os seus cavalleiros, e o seu exercito, e alcançaram-n'os acampados junto ao mar, perto de Pi-hahiroth, diante de Baal-zephon.
10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were sore afraid; and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
E, chegando Pharaó, os filhos de Israel levantaram seus olhos, e eis que os egypcios vinham atraz d'elles, e temeram muito; então os filhos de Israel clamaram ao Senhor.
11 And they said unto Moses: 'Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to bring us forth out of Egypt?
E disseram a Moysés: Não havia sepulchros no Egypto, que nos tiraste de lá, para que morramos n'este deserto? porque nos fizeste isto, que nos tens tirado do Egypto?
12 Is not this the word that we spoke unto thee in Egypt, saying: Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it were better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.'
Não é esta a palavra que te temos fallado no Egypto, dizendo: Deixa-nos, que sirvamos aos egypcios? pois que melhor nos fôra servir aos egypcios, do que morrermos no deserto.
13 And Moses said unto the people: 'Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will work for you to-day; for whereas ye have seen the Egyptians to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
Moysés, porém, disse ao povo: Não temaes; estae quietos, e vêde o livramento do Senhor, que hoje vos fará: porque aos egypcios, que hoje vistes, nunca mais vereis para sempre:
14 The LORD will fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.'
O Senhor pelejará por vós, e vos calareis.
15 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Wherefore criest thou unto Me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.
Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Porque clamas a mim? dize aos filhos de Israel que marchem.
16 And lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it; and the children of Israel shall go into the midst of the sea on dry ground.
E tu, levanta a tua vara, e estende a tua mão sobre o mar, e fende-o, para que os filhos de Israel passem pelo meio do mar em secco.
17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them; and I will get Me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
E eu, eis que endurecerei o coração dos egypcios, para que entrem n'elle atraz d'elles; e eu serei glorificado em Pharaó, e em todo o seu exercito, nos seus carros e nos seus cavalleiros,
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten Me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.'
E os egypcios saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando fôr glorificado em Pharaó, nos seus carros e nos seus cavalleiros.
19 And the angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them;
E o anjo de Deus, que ia diante do exercito d'Israel, se retirou, e ia detraz d'elles: tambem a columna de nuvem se retirou de diante d'elles, e se poz atraz d'elles,
20 and it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud and the darkness here, yet gave it light by night there; and the one came not near the other all the night.
E ia entre o campo dos egypcios e o campo d'Israel: e a nuvem era escuridade para aquelles, e para estes esclarecia a noite: de maneira que em toda a noite não chegou um ao outro.
21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
Então Moysés estendeu a sua mão sobre o mar, e o Senhor fez retirar o mar por um forte vento oriental toda aquella noite; e o mar tornou-se em secco, e as aguas foram partidas.
22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
E os filhos d'Israel entraram pelo meio do mar em secco: e as aguas foram-lhes como muro á sua direita e á sua esquerda.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
E os egypcios seguiram-n'os, e entraram atraz d'elles todos os cavallos de Pharaó, os seus carros e os seus cavalleiros, até ao meio do mar.
24 And it came to pass in the morning watch, that the LORD looked forth upon the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and discomfited the host of the Egyptians.
E aconteceu que, na vigilia d'aquella manhã, o Senhor, na columna do fogo e da nuvem, viu o campo dos egypcios: e alvorotou o campo dos egypcios,
25 And He took off their chariot wheels, and made them to drive heavily; so that the Egyptians said: 'Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.'
E tirou-lhes as rodas dos seus carros, e fel-os andar difficultosamente. Então disseram os egypcios: Fujamos da face d'Israel, porque o Senhor por elles peleja contra os egypcios.
26 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.'
E disse o Senhor a Moysés: Estende a tua mão sobre o mar, para que as aguas tornem sobre os egypcios, sobre os seus carros e sobre os seus cavalleiros.
27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
Então Moysés estendeu a sua mão sobre o mar, e o mar tornou-se em sua força ao amanhecer, e os egypcios fugiram ao seu encontro: e o Senhor derribou os egypcios no meio do mar
28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the host of Pharaoh that went in after them into the sea; there remained not so much as one of them.
Porque as aguas, tornando, cobriram os carros e os cavalleiros de todo o exercito de Pharaó, que os haviam seguido no mar: nem ainda um d'elles ficou.
29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
Mas os filhos d'Israel foram pelo meio do mar secco: e as aguas foram-lhes como muro á sua mão direita e á sua esquerda.
30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore.
Assim o Senhor salvou Israel n'aquelle dia da mão dos egypcios: e Israel viu os egypcios mortos na praia do mar.
31 And Israel saw the great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians, and the people feared the LORD; and they believed in the LORD, and in His servant Moses.
E viu Israel a grande mão que o Senhor mostrara aos egypcios; e temeu o povo ao Senhor, e creram no Senhor e em Moysés, seu servo.
