Exodus 2
1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, —and took a daughter of Levi.
E foi-se um varão da casa de Levi, e casou com uma filha de Levi.
2 And the woman conceived and bare a son, —and she saw him, that he was a goodly child, so she hid him three months.
E a mulher concebeu, e pariu um filho, e, vendo que elle era formoso, escondeu-o tres mezes.
3 And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of paper-reed, and covered it over with bitumen, and with pitch, —and put therein the child, and laid it among the rushes upon the bank of the river.
Não podendo, porém, mais escondel-o tomou uma arca de juncos, e a betumou com betume e pêz; e, pondo n'ella o menino, a poz nos juncos á borda do rio
4 Then did his sister station herself at a distance, —to see what would be done to him.
E sua irmã parou-se de longe, para saber o que lhe havia de acontecer.
5 So then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe by the river, and her, maidens, were walking by the side of the river, —when she saw the ark in the midst of the rushes, and sent her handmaid, and fetched it.
E a filha de Pharaó desceu a lavar-se no rio, e as suas donzellas passeavam, pela borda do rio: e ella viu a arca no meio dos juncos, e enviou a sua creada, e a tomou.
6 And she opened and beheld it—even the child, and lo! a boy weeping, —so she took pity on him, and said, Of the children of the Hebrews, is this.
E abrindo-a, viu ao menino, e eis que o menino chorava; e moveu-se de compaixão d'elle, e disse: Dos meninos dos hebreos é este.
7 Then said his sister unto Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call thee a nurse, of the Hebrew women, —that she may nurse for thee the child?
Então disse sua irmã á filha de Pharaó: Irei eu a chamar uma ama das hebreas, que crie este menino por ti?
8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her—Go. So the maid went, and called the mother of the child.
E a filha de Pharaó disse-lhe: Vae. E foi-se a moça, e chamou a mãe do menino.
9 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her—Take this child, and nurse it for me, and, I, will give thee thy wages. So the woman took the child, and nursed it.
Então lhe disse a filha de Pharaó: Leva este menino, e cria-m'o: eu te darei teu salario. E a mulher tomou o menino, e creou-o.
10 And the child grew, and she brought him in to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said—For out of the water, I drew him.
E, sendo o menino já grande, ella o trouxe á filha de Pharaó, a qual o adoptou; e chamou o seu nome Moysés, e disse: Porque das aguas o tenho tirado.
11 And it came to pass in those days when Moses grew up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens, —and saw, an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew—of his brethren,
E aconteceu n'aquelles dias que, sendo Moysés já grande, saiu a seus irmãos, e attentou nas suas cargas: e viu que um varão egypcio feria a um hebreu, varão de seus irmãos.
12 So he turned this way and that, and when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
E olhou a uma e a outra banda, e, vendo que ninguem ali havia, feriu ao egypcio, e escondeu-o na areia.
13 And he went out on the second day, and lo! two Hebrews, striving together, —so he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore shouldest thou smite thy fellow?
E tornou a sair no dia seguinte, e eis que dois varões hebreos contendiam; e disse ao injusto: Porque feres a teu proximo?
14 And he said—Who hath set thee for a chief and a judge over us? To slay me, art thou thinking, as thou didst slay the Egyptian? Then was Moses afraid, and said—Surely the thing is, known!
O qual disse: Quem te tem posto a ti por maioral e juiz sobre nós? pensas matar-me, como mataste o egypcio? Então temeu Moysés, e disse: Certamente este negocio foi descoberto.
15 So Pharaoh heard this thing, and sought to slay Moses, —and Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian and sat down by the well.
Ouvindo pois Pharaó este negocio, procurou matar a Moysés: mas Moysés fugiu de diante da face de Pharaó, e habitou na terra de Midian, e assentou-se junto a um poço.
16 Now, the priest of Midian, had seven daughters, —and they came and drew and filled the troughs, to water their fathers flock.
E o sacerdote de Midian tinha sete filhas, as quaes vieram a tirar agua, e encheram as pias, para dar de beber ao rebanho de seu pae.
17 Then came the shepherds, and drave them away, —so Moses rose up, and succoured them, and watered their flock,
Então vieram os pastores, e lançaram-as d'ali; Moysés porém levantou-se, e defendeu-as, e abeberou-lhes o rebanho.
18 Then came they in unto Reuel their father, —and he said, Wherefore have ye so early come in to-day?
E vindo ellas a Reuel seu pae, elle disse: Porque hoje tomastes tão depressa?
19 And they said, An Egyptian, delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, —Moreover also he drew, for us, and watered the flock.
E ellas disseram: Um homem egypcio nos livrou da mão dos pastores; e tambem nos tirou agua em abundancia, e abeberou o rebanho.
20 And he said unto his daughters—And where is he? wherefore is it that ye left the man? Call him that he may eat bread.
E disse a suas filhas: E onde está elle? porque deixastes o homem? chamae-o para que coma pão.
21 And Moses was well-pleased to dwell with the man, —and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.
E Moysés consentiu em morar com aquelle homem: e elle deu a Moysés sua filha Zippora,
22 And she bare a son, and he called his name Gershom, —for he said, A, sojourner, I am, in a strange land.
A qual pariu um filho, e elle chamou o seu nome Gerson, porque disse: Peregrino fui em terra estranha.
23 And it came to pass, during those many days, that the king of Egypt died, and the sons of Israel sighed by reason of the servitude and lamented, —and their cry for help went up to God, by reason of the servitude.
E aconteceu depois de muitos d'estes dias, morrendo o rei do Egypto, que os filhos de Israel suspiraram por causa da servidão, e clamaram: e o seu clamor subiu a Deus por causa de sua servidão.
24 And God heard their groaning, —and God remembered his covenant, with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob;
E ouviu Deus o seu gemido, e lembrou-se Deus do seu concerto com Abrahão, com Isaac, e com Jacob;
25 so then, God looked upon the sons of Israel, —and God regarded.
E attentou Deus para os filhos d'Israel, e conheceu-os Deus.
