Exodus 2
1 Now a man of the tribe of Levi married a woman of Levi.
E foi-se um varão da casa de Levi, e casou com uma filha de Levi.
2 The woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a healthy boy, she hid him for three months.
E a mulher concebeu, e pariu um filho, e, vendo que elle era formoso, escondeu-o tres mezes.
3 But when she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket and sealed it with bitumen and pitch. Then she put the child in it and placed it among the reeds in the water along the side 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 His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.
E sua irmã parou-se de longe, para saber o que lhe havia de acontecer.
5 Pharaoh's daughter came down to bathe at the river while her attendants walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her attendant to get 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 When she opened it, she saw the child. Behold, the baby was crying. She had compassion on him and said, “This is certainly one of the Hebrews' children.”
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 the baby's sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, “Should I go and find you a Hebrew woman to nurse the child for you?”
Então disse sua irmã á filha de Pharaó: Irei eu a chamar uma ama das hebreas, que crie este menino por ti?
8 Pharaoh's daughter said to her, “Go.” So the young girl went and got the child's mother.
E a filha de Pharaó disse-lhe: Vae. E foi-se a moça, e chamou a mãe do menino.
9 Pharaoh's daughter said to the baby's mother, “Take this child and nurse him for me, and I will pay you wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him.
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 When the child grew older, she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses and said, “Because I drew him from the water.”
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 When Moses had grown up, he went out to his people and observed their hard work. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his own people.
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 He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one there, he killed the Egyptian and hid his body 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 He went out the next day, and, behold, two Hebrew men were fighting. He said to the one who was in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your companion?”
E tornou a sair no dia seguinte, e eis que dois varões hebreos contendiam; e disse ao injusto: Porque feres a teu proximo?
14 But the man said, “Who made you a leader and judge over us? Are you planning to kill me as you killed that Egyptian?” Then Moses became afraid and said, “What I did has certainly become known to others.”
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 Now when Pharaoh heard about it, he tried to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and stayed in the land of Midian. There he sat down by a 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. They came, drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's 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 The shepherds came and tried to drive them away, but Moses went and helped them. Then he 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 When the girls went to Reuel their father, he said, “Why are you home so early today?”
E vindo ellas a Reuel seu pae, elle disse: Porque hoje tomastes tão depressa?
19 They said, “An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. He even drew water 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 He said to his daughters, “So where is he? Why did you leave the man? Call him so he can eat a meal with us.”
E disse a suas filhas: E onde está elle? porque deixastes o homem? chamae-o para que coma pão.
21 Moses agreed to stay with the man, who also gave him his daughter Zipporah in marriage.
E Moysés consentiu em morar com aquelle homem: e elle deu a Moysés sua filha Zippora,
22 She bore a son, and Moses called his name Gershom; he said, “I have been a resident in a foreign land.”
A qual pariu um filho, e elle chamou o seu nome Gerson, porque disse: Peregrino fui em terra estranha.
23 A long time later, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned because of the slave labor. They cried out for help, and their pleas went up to God because of their bondage.
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 When God heard their groaning, God called to mind 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 God saw the Israelites, and he understood their situation.
E attentou Deus para os filhos d'Israel, e conheceu-os Deus.
