Exodus 32
1 [(Moses/I) stayed on top of the mountain a long time]. When the people realized that he/I was not returning quickly, they gathered near Aaron and said to him, “We do not know what has happened to that man Moses who brought us here out of Egypt. So quickly, make us ([an idol/a statue of a god]) who will lead us!”
Quando o povo viu que Moisés demorou a descer da montanha, o povo se reuniu a Arão e lhe disse: “Vem, faze-nos deuses, que irão adiante de nós; pois quanto a este Moisés, o homem que nos tirou da terra do Egito, não sabemos o que aconteceu com ele”.
2 Aaron replied to them, “All right, [I will do that, but] tell your wives and your sons and your daughters to take off all their gold earrings and bring them to me.”
Aaron disse-lhes: “Tirem os anéis dourados, que estão nos ouvidos de suas esposas, de seus filhos e de suas filhas, e tragam-mos até mim”.
3 So the people did that. They took off all their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.
Todas as pessoas tiraram os anéis dourados que estavam em seus ouvidos, e os trouxeram para Aaron.
4 He took all those gold earrings and melted them in a fire. He [poured the gold into a mold and] made a statue that looked like a young bull. The people saw it and said, “This is the god of us Israeli people! This is the one who brought us up from the land of Egypt!”
Ele recebeu o que lhe entregaram, moldou-o com uma ferramenta de gravação e fez dele um bezerro moldado. Depois disseram: “Estes são seus deuses, Israel, que o trouxeram para fora da terra do Egito”.
5 When Aaron saw [what was happening], he built an altar in front of the [statue of the] young bull. Then he announced, “Tomorrow we will have a festival to honor Yahweh!”
Quando Aaron viu isto, construiu um altar diante dele; e Aaron fez uma proclamação, e disse: “Amanhã será uma festa para Yahweh”.
6 So the people got up early the next morning and brought animals to kill and burn as sacrifices on the altar. They also brought sacrifices to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. Then they sat down to eat and drink [wine]. Then they got up and started dancing in a very immoral way.
Eles se levantaram cedo no dia seguinte, ofereceram holocaustos e trouxeram ofertas de paz; e as pessoas se sentaram para comer e beber, e se levantaram para brincar.
7 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go back down from the mountain, because your people, the ones that you brought up here from Egypt, have [already] (become very depraved/wicked)!
Yahweh falou a Moisés: “Vai, desce; pois seu povo, que você criou fora da terra do Egito, se corrompeu!
8 They have already (left the road that I showed them/stopped obeying me)! They have made [a statue of] a young bull from melted gold. They have worshiped it and offered sacrifices to it. And they are saying, ‘This is the god of us Israeli people! This is the one who brought us up from Egypt!’”
Eles se afastaram rapidamente do caminho que eu lhes ordenei. Fizeram para si um bezerro moldado, adoraram-no e se sacrificaram a ele, e disseram: “Estes são os vossos deuses, Israel, que vos fizeram subir da terra do Egito”.
9 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “I have seen that these people are very stubborn.
Yahweh disse a Moisés: “Eu vi estas pessoas, e eis que são um povo de pescoço duro.
10 I am very angry with them, and so I am going to get rid of them. Do not try to stop me! Then I will cause you and your descendants to become a great nation.”
Agora, portanto, deixai-me em paz, para que minha ira arda contra eles, e para que eu os consuma; e eu farei de vós uma grande nação”.
11 But Moses/I pleaded with his/my God, Yahweh, and said, “Yahweh, (you should not be very angry with your people!/why are you so angry with your people [RHQ]?) These are the people whom you rescued from Egypt with very great power [MTY, DOU]!
Moisés implorou a Javé seu Deus, e disse: “Javé, por que sua ira arde contra seu povo, que você tirou da terra do Egito com grande poder e com uma mão poderosa?
12 Do not [do anything that would] allow the people of Egypt to say, ‘Their god led them out from our country, but [he did that] only [because he wanted] to kill them in the mountains and get rid of them completely [RHQ]!’ Stop being so angry! (Change your mind/Do not do what you have told me that you will do)! Do not do to your people this terrible thing [that you have just said that you will do]
Por que os egípcios deveriam falar, dizendo: “Ele os trouxe para fora para o mal, para matá-los nas montanhas, e para consumi-los da superfície da terra? Vire-se de sua ira feroz, e afaste-se deste mal contra seu povo.
13 Think about your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You solemnly promised them, ‘I will enable you to have as many descendants as there are stars in the sky.’ You said to them, ‘I will give to your descendants all the land that I am promising to give them. It will be their land forever.’”
Lembre-se de Abraão, Isaac e Israel, seus servos, a quem você jurou por si mesmo, e lhes disse: 'Multiplicarei a sua prole como as estrelas do céu, e toda esta terra de que falei darei à sua prole, e eles a herdarão para sempre'”.
14 So Yahweh changed his mind. He did not do to his people the terrible thing that he said he would do.
Então Yahweh se afastou do mal que ele disse que faria ao seu povo.
15 Moses/I turned away from God and went down the mountain, carrying in his hands the two stone slabs on which Yahweh had engraved his commandments. He had written on both sides of the slabs.
Moisés virou-se, e desceu da montanha, com as duas tábuas do pacto na mão; tábuas que estavam escritas de ambos os lados. Elas foram escritas de um lado e do outro.
16 God [himself] had made the slabs, and he was the one who had engraved the commandments on them.
As tábuas eram obra de Deus, e a escrita era a escrita de Deus, gravada nas tábuas.
17 Joshua heard the very loud noise of the people shouting. So when he and I got near the camp, Joshua said, “There is a noise in the camp that sounds like [the noise of] a battle!”
Quando Josué ouviu o barulho do povo enquanto gritavam, disse a Moisés: “Há o barulho da guerra no acampamento”.
18 But Moses/I replied, [“No], that is not the shouting that people do when they have won a victory or when they have been defeated [in a battle] What I hear is the sound of [loud] singing!”
Ele disse: “Não é a voz daqueles que gritam por vitória. Não é a voz daqueles que clamam por ser vencidos; mas o barulho daqueles que cantam que eu ouço”.
19 As soon as Moses/I came close to the camp and saw the statue of the young bull and saw the people dancing, he/I became extremely angry. He/I threw the stone tablets that he/I was carrying down onto the ground, there at the base of the mountain.
Assim que chegou perto do acampamento, ele viu o bezerro e a dança. Então a raiva de Moisés esquentou, e ele jogou as tábuas fora de suas mãos, e as quebrou sob a montanha.
20 Then he/I took the statue of the young bull that they had made and melted it in the fire. [When it cooled], he/I ground it into [fine] powder. Then he/I mixed the powder with water and forced the Israeli people to drink it.
Ele pegou o bezerro que eles tinham feito, queimou-o com fogo, moeu-o em pó e o espalhou sobre a água, e fez as crianças de Israel bebê-lo.
21 Then he/I said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, with the result that you have made them commit such a terrible sin?”
Moisés disse a Aaron: “O que essas pessoas fizeram com você, que você trouxe um grande pecado sobre eles”?
22 Aaron replied, “Please do not be angry with me, sir. You know that these people are very determined to do evil things.
Aaron disse: “Não deixe a raiva de meu senhor esquentar”. Vocês conhecem o povo, que está voltado para o mal.
23 They said to me, ‘As for that man Moses, the one who brought us up here from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him. So make for us an idol that will lead us!’
Pois eles me disseram: 'Faça-nos deuses, que irão adiante de nós'. Quanto a este Moisés, o homem que nos tirou da terra do Egito, não sabemos o que aconteceu com ele”.
24 So I said to them, ‘Everyone who is wearing [gold earrings] should take them off.’ So they [took them off and] gave them to me. I threw them into the fire, and out came this statue of a young bull!”
Eu lhes disse: 'Quem tiver ouro, que o tire'. Então eles mo deram; e eu o joguei no fogo, e saiu este bezerro”.
25 Moses/I saw that Aaron had allowed the people to become completely out of control and to do things that would make their enemies think the Israeli people were foolish.
Quando Moisés viu que o povo estava fora de controle, (pois Aaron os havia deixado perder o controle, causando zombaria entre seus inimigos),
26 So he/I stood at the entrance to the camp and shouted, “Everyone who is loyal to Yahweh should come [closer] to me!” So the descendants of Levi gathered around him/me.
então Moisés ficou no portão do acampamento, e disse: “Quem estiver do lado de Javé, venha até mim”! Todos os filhos de Levi se reuniram a ele.
27 Then he/I said to them, “Yahweh, the God of us Israeli people, commands that every one of you should fasten your sword to your side, and then go through the camp from this entrance to the other one, and kill some of your relatives and your companions and your neighbors.”
Ele lhes disse: “Yahweh, o Deus de Israel, diz: 'Cada homem põe sua espada na coxa, e vai e vem de porta em porta por todo o campo, e cada homem mata seu irmão, e cada homem seu companheiro, e cada homem seu próximo'”.
28 The descendants of Levi did what Moses/I told them to do, and they killed 3,000 men on that day.
Os filhos de Levi fizeram de acordo com a palavra de Moisés. Cerca de três mil homens caíram do povo naquele dia.
29 Moses/I said to the descendants of Levi, “Today you have dedicated yourselves to serving Yahweh by (killing/not sparing) [even] your own sons and brothers, and as a result Yahweh will bless you.”
Moisés disse: “Consagrai-vos hoje a Javé, pois cada homem foi contra seu filho e contra seu irmão, para que ele vos dê hoje uma bênção”.
30 The next day, Moses/I said to the people, “You have committed a terrible sin. But I will now climb up the mountain again to talk with Yahweh. Perhaps I can [persuade him] to forgive you for sinning [like this].”
No dia seguinte, Moisés disse ao povo: “Vocês pecaram um grande pecado”. Agora eu irei até Yahweh. Talvez eu faça expiação por seu pecado”.
31 So Moses/I went back up the mountain and said to Yahweh, “I am sorry to admit that these people have committed a terrible sin. They have made for themselves a gold idol and have worshiped it.
Moisés voltou a Iavé e disse: “Oh, este povo pecou um grande pecado e se fez deuses de ouro”.
32 But now I ask you to please forgive them for having sinned. If you will not forgive them, then erase my name from the book in which you have written [the names of your people].”
Mas agora, se você quiser, perdoe o pecado deles - e se não, por favor, tire-me de seu livro que você escreveu”.
33 But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “It is [only] those who have sinned against me whose names I will erase from that book.
Yahweh disse a Moisés: “Quem quer que tenha pecado contra mim, eu o apagarei do meu livro”.
34 Now you go back down and lead the [Israeli] people to the place that I told you about. Keep in mind that my angel will go in front of you. But, at the time that I determine, I will punish them for their sin.”
Agora vá, conduza o povo ao lugar de que lhe falei”. Eis que meu anjo irá diante de vós. No entanto, no dia em que eu castigar, castigá-los-ei por seu pecado”.
35 [Later] Yahweh caused a plague to strike the people because they had told Aaron to make the gold [statue of a] young bull.
Yahweh atingiu o povo, por causa do que eles fizeram com o bezerro, que Arão fez.
