Exodus 14
1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Então falou o Senhor a Moisés, dizendo:
2 Speak unto the sons 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.
Fala 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 dele assentareis o campo junto ao mar.
3 Then will Pharaoh say, of the sons of Israel, Entangled, they are in the land, —the desert hath closed in upon them.
Então faraó dirá dos filhos de Israel: Estão embaraçados na terra, o deserto os encerrou.
4 So will I let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold, and he will pursue them, that I may get me honour over Pharaoh, and over all his forces, and the Egyptians shall know, that I, am Yahweh. And they did so.
E eu endurecerei o coração de faraó, para que os persiga, e serei glorificado em faraó em todo o seu exército, e saberão os egípcios que eu sou o Senhor. E eles fizeram assim.
5 And it was told the king of Egypt, that the people had fled, —and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people, and they said—What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
Sendo pois anunciado ao rei do Egito que o povo fugia, mudou-se o coração de faraó e dos seus servos contra o povo, e disseram: Porque fizemos isso, havendo deixado ir a Israel, que nos não sirva?
6 So he yoked his chariot, —and his people, took he with him.
E aprontou o seu carro, e tomou consigo o seu povo;
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, —with warriors in every one.
E tomou seiscentos carros escolhidos, e todos os carros do Egito, e os capitães sobre eles todos.
8 And Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt wax bold, and he pursued the sons of Israel, —when the sons of Israel, were going out with a high hand.
Porque o Senhor endureceu o coração de faraó, rei do Egito, que perseguisse aos filhos de Israel: porém os filhos de Israel sairam com alta mão
9 So the Egyptians pursued them and overtook them, encamping by the sea—all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his forces, —by Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
E os egípcios perseguiram-nos, todos os cavalos e carros de faraó, e os seus cavaleiros, e o seu exército, e alcançaram-nos acampados junto ao mar, perto de Pi-hahiroth, diante de Baal-zephon.
10 Now when, Pharaoh, had drawn near, the sons of Israel lifted up their eyes, and lo! the Egyptians, moving along after them and they feared greatly, and the sons of Israel made outcry unto Yahweh.
E, chegando faraó, os filhos de Israel levantaram seus olhos, e eis que os egípcios vinham atráz deles, e temeram muito; então os filhos de Israel clamaram ao Senhor.
11 Then said they unto Moses, Was it because there were no graves in Egypt, that thou didst fetch us to die in the desert? What is this thou hast done to us, bringing us forth out of Egypt?
E disseram a Moisés: Não havia sepulcros no Egito, que nos tiraste de lá, para que morramos neste deserto? porque nos fizeste isto, que nos tens tirado do Egito?
12 Is not this the word which we spake unto thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians, —for it is better for us, to serve the Egyptians, than to die in the desert?
Não é esta a palavra que te temos falado no Egito, dizendo: Deixa-nos, que sirvamos aos egípcios? pois que melhor nos fôra servir aos egípcios, do que morrermos no deserto.
13 And Moses said unto the people—Do not fear, stand still and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you to-day, —for as for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall not again see them any more to times age-abiding.
Moisés, porém, disse ao povo: Não temais; estai quietos, e vede o livramento do Senhor, que hoje vos fará: porque aos egípcios, que hoje vistes, nunca mais vereis para sempre:
14 Yahweh, will fight for you, —and, ye, shall forbear.
O Senhor pelejará por vós, e vos calareis.
15 And Yahweh said unto Moses, What outcry wouldst thou make unto me? Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they go forward;
Então disse o Senhor a Moisés: Porque clamas a mim? dize aos filhos de Israel que marchem.
16 and, thou, lift high thy staff and stretch forth thy hand over the sea and cleave it asunder, —that the sons of Israel may enter 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 seco.
17 and, I, behold me letting the heart of the Egyptians wax bold, that they may enter after them, —that I may get me honour over Pharaoh and over his forces, over his chariots, and over his horsemen,
E eu, eis que endurecerei o coração dos egípcios, para que entrem nele atráz deles; e eu serei glorificado em faraó, e em todo o seu exército, nos seus carros e nos seus cavaleiros,
18 And the Egyptians shall know, that, I, am Yahweh, —when I have gotten me honour over Pharaoh, over his chariots and over his horsemen.
E os egípcios saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando for glorificado em faraó, nos seus carros e nos seus cavaleiros.
19 And the messenger of God who was going on before the camp of Israel removed, and came on behind them, —and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them;
E o anjo de Deus, que ia diante do exército de Israel, se retirou, e ia detraz deles: também a coluna de nuvem se retirou de diante deles, e se pôs atráz deles,
20 so it came in between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, so it became a cloud and darkness, and yet lighted up the night, —so that the one came not near unto the other, all the night.
E ia entre o campo dos egípcios e o campo de Israel: e a nuvem era escuridade para aqueles, e para estes esclarecia a noite: de maneira que em toda a noite não chegou um ao outro.
21 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and Yahweh carried away the sea by a mighty east wind all the night, and turned the sea into dry land, —and the waters were cloven asunder.
Então Moisés estendeu a sua mão sobre o mar, e o Senhor fez retirar o mar por um forte vento oriental toda aquela noite; e o mar tornou-se em seco, e as águas foram partidas.
22 Then went the sons of Israel into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, —and, the waters, to them, were a wall, on their right hand and on their left.
E os filhos de Israel entraram pelo meio do mar em seco: e as águas foram-lhes como muro à sua direita e à sua esquerda.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and entered after them—all the horses of Pharaoh his chariots and his horsemen, —into the midst of the sea.
E os egípcios seguiram-nos, e entraram atráz deles todos os cavalos de faraó, os seus carros e os seus cavaleiros, até ao meio do mar.
24 And it came to pass in the morning watch, that Yahweh looked down into the camp of the Egyptians, through the pillar of fire and cloud, and confused the camp of the Egyptians;
E aconteceu que, na vigília daquela manhã, o Senhor, na coluna do fogo e da nuvem, viu o campo dos egípcios: e alvorotou o campo dos egípcios,
25 and he took off the wheels of their chariots, and made them drive heavily, —so that the Egyptians said—We must flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh, is fighting for them against the Egyptians.
E tirou-lhes as rodas dos seus carros, e fê-los andar dificultosamente. Então disseram os egípcios: Fujamos da face de Israel, porque o Senhor por eles peleja contra os egípcios.
26 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Stretch forth thy hand over the sea, —that the waters may return upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
E disse o Senhor a Moisés: Estende a tua mão sobre o mar, para que as águas tornem sobre os egípcios, sobre os seus carros e sobre os seus cavaleiros.
27 So Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea and the sea returned, towards morning, to its steady flow, when the Egyptians, were fleeing to meet it, —thus Yahweh shook off the Egyptians into the midst of the sea;
Então Moisés estendeu a sua mão sobre o mar, e o mar tornou-se em sua força ao amanhecer, e os egípcios fugiram ao seu encontro: e o Senhor derribou os egípcios no meio do mar
28 thus the waters returned and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the forces of Pharaoh that were entering after them into the sea, —there was not left remaining among them so much as one.
Porque as águas, tornando, cobriram os carros e os cavaleiros de todo o exército de faraó, que os haviam seguido no mar: nem ainda um deles ficou.
29 But the sons of Israel, had gone their way on dry ground in the saidst of the sea, —and the waters had been to them a wall, on their right hand and on their left.
Mas os filhos de Israel foram pelo meio do mar seco: e as águas foram-lhes como muro à sua mão direita e à sua esquerda.
30 Thus did Yahweh, on that day, save Israel, out of the hand of the Egyptians, —and Israel saw the Egyptians, dead on the shore of the sea.
Assim o Senhor salvou Israel naquele dia da mão dos egípcios: e Israel viu os egípcios mortos na praia do mar.
31 And when Israel saw the mighty hand wherewith Yahweh had wrought against the Egyptians, then did the people revere Yahweh, —and they put their trust in Yahweh, and in Moses, his servant.
E viu Israel a grande mão que o Senhor mostrara aos egípcios; e temeu o povo ao Senhor, e creram no Senhor e em Moisés, seu servo.
