Exodus 19
1 The Israeli people then left Rephidim, and exactly two months after leaving Egypt, they/we came to the desert near Sinai [Mountain]. They/We set up their/our tents at the base of the mountain.
Ao mês terceiro da saída dos filhos de Israel da terra do Egito, naquele dia vieram ao deserto de Sinai.
Porque partiram de Refidim, e chegaram ao deserto de Sinai, e assentaram no deserto; e acampou ali Israel diante do monte.
3 Moses/I climbed up the mountain [to talk with] God. Yahweh called to [him/me] from [the top of] the mountain and said, “This is what I want you to say to the Israeli people, the descendants of Jacob:
E Moisés subiu a Deus; e o SENHOR o chamou desde o monte, dizendo: Assim dirás à casa de Jacó, e anunciarás aos filhos de Israel:
4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians. You have seen [what I did for all of you] and how I brought you here to me. It was as though I [lifted you up as] an eagle [carries its young eaglets] on its wings [MET].
Vós vistes o que fiz aos egípcios, e como vos tomei sobre asas de águas, e vos trouxe a mim.
5 So now, if you will do what I tell you and obey all that I command you, you will be my own people. All the people-groups on the earth are mine, but you will be (dearer/more special) to me than all the other people-groups.
Agora pois, se deres ouvido à minha voz, e guardardes meu pacto, vós sereis meu especial tesouro sobre todos os povos; porque minha é toda a terra.
6 You will be people over whom I will rule, and you will all (be like priests/represent me to other nations as priests represent me to one nation) [MET], and you will be completely dedicated to me.’ That is what you must tell the Israeli people.”
E vós sereis meu reino de sacerdotes, e gente santa. Estas são as palavras que dirás aos filhos de Israel.
7 So Moses/I went [down the mountain] and summoned the elders/leaders of the people. He/I told them everything that Yahweh had told him/me to tell them.
Então veio Moisés, e chamou aos anciãos do povo, e propôs em presença deles todas estas palavras que o SENHOR lhe havia mandado.
8 The people all said, “We will do everything that Yahweh has told us to do.” Then Moses/I [climbed back up the mountain and] reported to Yahweh what the people had said.
E todo o povo respondeu em unidade, e disseram: Tudo o que o SENHOR disse faremos. E Moisés referiu as palavras do povo ao SENHOR.
9 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “[Listen carefully]: I am going to appear to you from inside a thick cloud. When I am speaking to you, the people will hear it, and they will always trust in you.” Then Moses/I went [down the mountain and reported to the people what Yahweh said. Then he/I went back up the mountain and] told Yahweh what the people replied.
E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Eis que, eu venho a ti em uma nuvem espessa, para que o povo ouça enquanto eu falo contigo, e também para que te creiam para sempre. E Moisés anunciou as palavras do povo ao SENHOR.
10 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go [back down] to the people [again]. [Tell them to] purify themselves today and tomorrow. [Tell them to] wash their clothes, too.
E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Vai ao povo, e santifica-os hoje e amanhã, e lavem suas roupas;
11 They must do that to be ready on the day after tomorrow. On that day I will come down to Sinai Mountain to where all the people can see me.
E estejam prontos para o dia terceiro, porque ao terceiro dia o SENHOR descerá, à vista de todo o povo, sobre o monte de Sinai.
12 You must make a boundary around the base of the mountain, and tell them, ‘Be sure that you do not climb the mountain or even go near it. Anyone who even touches the base of the mountain must be executed.’
E assinalarás termo ao povo em derredor, dizendo: Guardai-vos, não subais ao monte, nem toqueis a seu termo: qualquer um que tocar o monte, certamente morrerá:
13 Do not let anyone touch any person or any animal that touches the mountain. You must [kill any person or animal that touches the mountain] by throwing stones at it or shooting it [with arrows]. But when you hear a long [loud] trumpet sound, the people can come close to the [base of the] mountain.”
Não lhe tocará mão, mas será apedrejado ou flechado; seja animal ou seja homem, não viverá. Em havendo soado longamente a trombeta, subirão ao monte.
14 So Moses/I went down the mountain [again] and told the people to purify themselves. They did what Moses/I told them to do, and they also washed their clothes.
E desceu Moisés do monte ao povo, e santificou ao povo; e lavaram suas roupas.
15 Then Moses/I said to the people, “Be ready on the day after tomorrow. And [you men] must not have sex with [EUP] [your wives] until after then.”
E disse ao povo: Estai prontos para o terceiro dia; não chegueis a mulher.
16 Two days later, during the morning, there was thunder and lightning, and a very dark cloud on the mountain. A trumpet sounded very loudly, with the result that the people in the camp shook/trembled because they [were very afraid].
E aconteceu ao terceiro dia quando veio a manhã, que vieram trovões e relâmpagos, e espessa nuvem sobre o monte, e som de trombeta muito forte; e estremeceu-se todo o povo que estava no acampamento.
17 Then Moses/I led the people outside the camp to meet with God. They stood at the base of the mountain.
E Moisés tirou do acampamento ao povo a receber a Deus; e puseram-se ao abaixo do monte.
18 All of Sinai Mountain was covered in smoke, because Yahweh had descended on it, surrounded by a fire. The smoke rose up like the smoke from [the chimney of] a furnace, and the whole mountain shook violently.
E todo o monte de Sinai fumegava, porque o SENHOR havia descido sobre ele em fogo: e a fumaça dele subia como a fumaça de um forno, e todo o monte se estremeceu em grande maneira.
19 As the sound of the trumpet continued to become louder, Moses/I spoke [to Yahweh], and Yahweh answered [him/me] in [a loud voice that sounded like] thunder.
E o som da trombeta ia fortalecendo-se em extremo: Moisés falava, e Deus lhe respondia em voz.
20 Then Yahweh came down [again] onto the top of Sinai Mountain, and he summoned Moses/me to come up to the top of the mountain. So Moses/I went up.
E desceu o SENHOR sobre o monte de Sinai, sobre o cume do monte: e chamou o SENHOR a Moisés ao cume do monte, e Moisés subiu.
21 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go down again and warn the people not to cross the boundary in order to look [at me]. If they [do] that, many of them will die.
E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Desce, exige ao povo que não ultrapassem o termo para ver ao SENHOR, para que não caia multidão deles.
22 Also, the priests who habitually come near me must purify themselves. If they do not do that, I will punish them.”
E também os sacerdotes que se achegam ao SENHOR, se santifiquem, para que o SENHOR não faça neles dano.
23 Then Moses/I said to Yahweh, “The people will not climb the mountain, because you commanded them, saying, ‘Set a boundary around the mountain, to make it sacred/taboo.’”
E Moisés disse ao SENHOR: O povo não poderá subir ao monte de Sinai, porque tu nos hás exigiste dizendo: Assinala termos ao monte, e santifica-o.
24 Yahweh replied, “Go down the mountain, and bring Aaron back up with you. But do not allow the priests or other people to cross the boundary to come up to me. If they cross it, I will punish them.”
E o SENHOR lhe disse: Vai, desce, e subirás tu, e Arão contigo: mas os sacerdotes e o povo não ultrapassem o termo para subir ao SENHOR, para que não faça neles dano.
25 So Moses/I went down the mountain [again] and told the people [what Yahweh had said].
Então Moisés desceu ao povo e falou com eles.
