Exodus 5
1 And after this went in Moses and Aaron to Pharao, and they said to him, These things says the Lord God of Israel, Send my people away, that they may keep a feast to me in the wilderness.
E depois foram Moysés e Aarão, e disseram a Pharaó: Assim diz o Senhor Deus d'Israel: Deixa ir o meu povo, para que me celebre uma festa no deserto.
2 And Pharao said, Who is he that I should listen to his voice, so that I should send away the children of Israel? I do not know the Lord, and I will not let Israel go.
Mas Pharaó disse: Quem é o Senhor, cuja voz eu ouvirei, para deixar ir Israel? não conheço o Senhor, nem tão pouco deixarei ir Israel.
3 And they say to him, The God of the Hebrews has called us to him: we will go therefore a three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God, lest at any time death or slaughter happen to us.
E elles disseram: O Deus dos hebreos nos encontrou; portanto deixa-nos agora ir caminho de tres dias ao deserto, para que não venha sobre nós com pestilencia ou com espada.
4 And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do you, Moses and Aaron, turn the people from their works? depart each of you to your works.
Então disse-lhes o rei do Egypto: Moysés e Aarão, porque fazeis cessar o povo das suas obras? ide a vossas cargas.
5 And Pharao said, Behold now, the people is very numerous; let us not then give them rest from their work.
E disse tambem Pharaó: Eis que o povo da terra já é muito, e vós fazeis cessal-os das suas cargas.
6 And Pharao gave orders to the taskmasters of the people and the accountants, saying,
Portanto deu ordem Pharaó n'aquelle mesmo dia aos exactores do povo, e aos seus officiaes, dizendo:
7 You shall no longer give straw to the people for brick-making as yesterday and the third day; but let them go themselves, and collect straw for themselves.
D'aqui em diante não torneis a dar palha ao povo, para fazer tijolos, como fizestes hontem e antehontem: vão elles mesmos, e colham palhas para si.
8 And you shall impose on them daily the rate of brick-making which they perform: you shall not abate anything, for they are idle; therefore have they cried, saying, Let us arise and do sacrifice to our God.
E lhes imporeis a conta dos tijolos que fizeram hontem, e antehontem: nada diminuireis d'ella: porque elles estão ociosos; por isso clamam, dizendo: Vamos, sacrifiquemos ao nosso Deus.
9 Let the works of these men be made grievous, and let them care for these things, and not care for vain words.
Aggrave-se o serviço sobre estes homens, para que se occupem n'elle, e não confiem em palavras de mentira.
10 And the taskmasters and the accountants hastened them, and they spoke to the people, saying, thus says Pharao, I [will] give you straw no longer.
Então sairam os exactores do povo, e seus officiaes, e fallaram ao povo, dizendo: Assim diz Pharaó: Eu não vos darei palha;
11 Go you, yourselves, get for yourselves straw whenever you can find it, for nothing is diminished from your rate.
Ide vós mesmos, e tomae vós palha d'onde a achardes: porque nada se diminuirá de vosso serviço.
12 So the people were dispersed in all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw.
Então o povo se espalhou por toda a terra do Egypto, a colher rastolho em logar de palha.
13 and the taskmasters hastened them, saying, Fulfil your regular daily tasks, even as when straw was given you.
E os exactores os apertavam, dizendo: Acabae vossa obra, a tarefa de cada dia, como quando havia palha.
14 And the accountants of the race of the children of Israel, who were set over them by the masters of Pharao, were scourged, [[and questioned, ] men] saying, Why have you not fulfilled your rates of brick work as yesterday and the third day, today also?
E foram açoitados os officiaes dos filhos d'Israel, que os exactores de Pharaó tinham posto sobre elles, dizendo estes: Porque não acabastes vossa tarefa, fazendo tijolos como antes, assim tambem hontem e hoje?
15 And the accountants of the children of Israel went in and cried to Pharao, saying, Why do you act thus to your servants?
Pelo que foram-se os officiaes dos filhos d'Israel, e clamaram a Pharaó, dizendo: Porque fazes assim a teus servos?
16 Straw is not given to your servants, and they tell us to make brick; and behold your servants have been scourged: you will therefore injure your people.
Palha não se dá a teus servos, e nos dizem: Fazei tijolos: e eis que teus servos são açoitados; porém o teu povo tem a culpa.
17 And he said to them, You are idle, you are idlers: therefore you say, Let us go [and] do sacrifice to our God.
Mas elle disse: Vós sois ociosos: vós sois ociosos: por isso dizeis: Vamos, sacrifiquemos ao Senhor.
18 Now then go and work, for straw shall not be given to you, yet you shall return the rate of bricks.
Ide pois agora, trabalhae: palha porém não se vos dará: comtudo, dareis a conta dos tijolos.
19 And the accountants of the children of Israel saw themselves in an evil plight, [men] saying, You shall not fail to deliver the daily rate of the brick-making.
Então os officiaes dos filhos d'Israel viram-se em afflicção, porquanto se dizia: Nada diminuireis de vossos tijolos, da tarefa do dia no seu dia.
20 And they met Moses and Aaron coming forth to meet them, as they came forth from Pharao.
E encontraram a Moysés e a Aarão, que estavam defronte d'elles, quando sairam de Pharaó,
21 And they said to them, The Lord look upon you and judge you, for you have made our savor abominable before Pharao, and before his servants, to put a sword into his hands to kill us.
E disseram-lhes: O Senhor attente sobre vós, e julgue isso, porquanto fizeste feder o nosso cheiro diante de Pharaó, e diante de seus servos, dando-lhes a espada nas mãos, para nos matar.
22 And Moses turned to the Lord, and said, I pray, Lord, why have you afflicted this people? and therefore have you sent me?
Então se tornou Moysés ao Senhor, e disse: Senhor! porque fizeste mal a este povo? porque me enviaste?
23 For from the time that I went to Pharao to speak in your name, he has afflicted this people, and you have not delivered your people.
Porque desde que entrei a Pharaó, para fallar em teu nome, elle maltratou a este povo; e de nenhuma sorte livraste o teu povo.
