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.
No terceiro mês após os filhos de Israel terem saído da terra do Egito, nesse mesmo dia eles entraram no deserto do Sinai.
Quando partiram de Rephidim, e chegaram ao deserto do Sinai, acamparam no deserto; e ali Israel acampou diante da montanha.
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:
Moisés subiu a Deus, e Javé o chamou para fora da montanha, dizendo: “Isto é o que você dirá à casa de Jacó, e dirá 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].
'Vocês viram o que eu fiz aos egípcios, e como eu os aborreci nas asas das águias, e os trouxe até 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.
Portanto, agora, se de fato obedecerdes à minha voz e guardardes o meu pacto, então sereis minha própria posse entre todos os povos; pois toda a terra é minha;
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 sereis para mim um reino de sacerdotes e uma nação santa”. Estas são as palavras que falareis 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.
Moisés veio e chamou os anciãos do povo, e pôs diante deles todas estas palavras que Iavé lhe ordenou.
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.
Todas as pessoas responderam juntas, e disseram: “Tudo o que Javé falou, nós faremos”. Moisés relatou as palavras do povo a Yahweh.
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.
Yahweh disse a Moisés: “Eis que venho a ti numa nuvem espessa, para que o povo possa ouvir quando eu falar contigo, e possa também acreditar em ti para sempre”. Moisés disse as palavras do povo a Iavé.
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.
Yahweh disse a Moisés: “Ide ao povo, e santificai-os hoje e amanhã, e deixai-os lavar suas vestes,
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 terceiro dia; pois no terceiro dia Yahweh descerá à vista de todo o povo do Monte 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.’
Você deve estabelecer limites para as pessoas ao redor, dizendo: 'Cuidado para não subir a montanha, nem tocar sua fronteira'. Quem tocar a montanha será certamente morto.
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.”
Nenhuma mão lhe tocará, mas ele certamente será apedrejado ou abatido; seja animal ou homem, ele não viverá”. Quando a trombeta soar longa, eles subirão à montanha”.
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.
Moisés desceu da montanha para o povo, e santificou o povo; e eles 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.”
Ele disse ao povo: “Estejam prontos até o terceiro dia”. Não tenha relações sexuais com uma 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].
No terceiro dia, quando era manhã, havia trovões e relâmpagos, e uma nuvem espessa na montanha, e o som de uma trombeta extremamente alta; e todas as pessoas que estavam no acampamento tremeram.
17 Then Moses/I led the people outside the camp to meet with God. They stood at the base of the mountain.
Moisés conduziu o povo para fora do acampamento ao encontro de Deus; e eles ficaram na parte mais baixa da montanha.
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.
Todo o Monte Sinai fumava, porque Javé descia sobre ele em fogo; e sua fumaça subia como a fumaça de uma fornalha, e toda a montanha tremia muito.
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.
Quando o som da trombeta cresceu cada vez mais alto, Moisés falou, e Deus lhe respondeu por uma 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.
Yahweh desceu no Monte Sinai, até o topo da montanha. Javé chamou Moisés para o topo da montanha, 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.
Yahweh disse a Moisés: “Desça, avise o povo, para que ele não se aproxime de Yahweh para olhar, e muitos deles pereçam.
22 Also, the priests who habitually come near me must purify themselves. If they do not do that, I will punish them.”
Let os sacerdotes também, que se aproximam de Iavé, se santificam, para que Iavé não se aproxime deles”.
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.’”
Moisés disse a Javé: “O povo não pode subir ao Monte Sinai, pois você nos avisou, dizendo: 'Fixe limites ao redor da montanha e santifique-a'”.
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.”
Yahweh disse-lhe: “Vá para baixo! Trará Arão consigo, mas não deixe que os sacerdotes e o povo se separem para subir até Yahweh, para que ele não se revolte contra eles”.
25 So Moses/I went down the mountain [again] and told the people [what Yahweh had said].
Então Moisés foi até o povo e lhes disse.
