Exodus 4
1 And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice: for they will say, The LORD has not appeared to you.
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, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before 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 forth your hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught 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 That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to 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 And the LORD said furthermore to him, Put now your hand into your bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous 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 into your bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as 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 it shall come to pass, if they will not believe you, neither listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
E acontecerá que, se elles te não crerem, nem ouvirem a voz do primeiro signal, crerão a voz do derradeiro signal;
9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land: and the water which you take out of the river shall 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 my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since you have spoken to your servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow 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? or who makes the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have 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 Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall say.
Vae pois agora, e eu serei com a tua bocca, e te ensinarei o que has de fallar.
13 And he said, O my LORD, send, I pray you, by the hand of him whom you will send.
Elle porém disse: Ah Senhor! envia pela mão d'aquelle a quem tu has de enviar.
14 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he comes forth to meet 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 And you shall speak to him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall 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 shall be your spokesman to the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to you instead of a mouth, and you shall be to him instead of God.
E elle fallará por ti ao povo: e aconlecerá que elle te será por bocca, e tu lhe serás por Deus.
17 And you shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do signs.
Toma pois esta vara na tua mão, com que farás os signaes.
18 And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said to him, Let me go, I pray you, and return to my brothers which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. 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, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought 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 set them on an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses 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 to return into Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in your hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall 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 shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
Então dirás a Pharaó: Assim diz o Senhor: Israel é meu filho, meu primogenito.
23 And I say to you, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if you refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay your son, even your firstborn.
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 And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.
E aconteceu no caminho, n'uma estalagem, que o Senhor o encontrou, e o quiz matar.
25 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband are you 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, A bloody husband you are, 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 wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.
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 told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
E denunciou Moysés a Aarão todas as palavras do Senhor, que o enviara, e todos os signaes que lhe mandara.
29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:
Então foram Moysés e Aarão, e ajuntaram todos os anciãos dos filhos de Israel.
30 And Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of 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 believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked on their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
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.
