Êxodo 10
1 Depois disse o Senhor a Moysés: Entra a Pharaó, porque tenho aggravado o seu coração, e o coração de seus servos, para fazer estes meus signaes no meio d'elle,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go to the king [again]. I have made him and his officials stubborn [IDM]. I have done that in order that I would [have a good reason to] perform all these plagues among them,
2 E para que contes aos ouvidos de teus filhos, e dos filhos de teus filhos, as coisas que obrei no Egypto, e os meus signaes, que tenho feito entre elles: para que saibaes que eu sou o Senhor.
and also in order that you would [be able to] tell your children and your grandchildren how I caused the Egyptians to act very foolishly [when] I performed all these miracles. Then all of you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
3 Assim foram Moysés e Aarão a Pharaó, e disseram-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor, o Deus dos hebreos: Até quando recusas humilhar-te diante de mim? deixa ir o meu povo, para que me sirva;
So Aaron and Moses/I went into the king’s [palace] and said to him, “Yahweh God, whom we Hebrews [worship], says this: ‘How long will you stubbornly refuse to do what I tell you [MTY]? Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert]
4 Porque se ainda recusares deixar ir o meu povo, eis que trarei ámanhã gafanhotos aos teus termos,
If you [keep] refusing to let them go, I warn you that tomorrow I will bring (locusts/[large flying insects called] locusts) into your country.
5 E cobrirão a face da terra, que a terra não se poderá ver; e elles comerão o resto do que escapou, o que vos ficou da saraiva: tambem comerão toda a arvore que vos cresce no campo;
[They will completely cover the ground so that] you will not even be able to see the ground. They will eat everything that the hail did not [destroy]. They will eat [everything that is left on] the trees.
6 E encherão as tuas casas, e as casas de todos os teus servos, e as casas de todos os egypcios, quaes nunca viram teus paes, nem os paes de teus paes, desde o dia, era que elles foram sobre a terra até ao dia de hoje. E virou-se, e saiu da presença de Pharaó.
They will fill your houses, and the houses of all your officials, and the houses of all [the rest of] the Egyptians. [There will be more locusts] than you or your parents or your grandparents have ever seen, from the time your ancestors first came to [this] land until the present time!’” Then he/I turned and [Aaron and] I left the king.
7 E os servos de Pharaó disseram-lhe: Até quando este nos ha de ser por laço? deixa ir os homens, para que sirvam ao Senhor seu Deus: ainda não sabes que o Egypto está destruido?
The king’s officials said to him, “(How long is this man going to continue to bring disasters on us?/We must not let this man continue to cause trouble for us!) [RHQ] Let the [Israeli] men leave, in order that they may worship Yahweh, their god. (Do you not yet understand that [this man] has ruined Egypt?/You ought to realize by now that [this man] has ruined Egypt!)” [RHQ]
8 Então Moysés e Aarão foram levados outra vez a Pharaó, e elle disse-lhes: Ide, servi ao Senhor vosso Deus. Quaes são os que hão de ir
So they brought Aaron and Moses/me back to the king. He said to them/us, “[All right], you can go and worship Yahweh your god. But who are the ones who will go?”
9 E Moysés disse: Havemos de ir com os nossos meninos, e com os nossos velhos; com os nossos filhos, e com as nossas filhas, com as nossas ovelhas, e com os nossos bois havemos de ir; porque festa do Senhor temos.
Moses/I replied, “We [all] need to go, everyone, including those who are young and those who are old. We need to take our sons and our daughters and our flocks [of sheep and goats] and herds [of livestock], because we must have a festival to [honor] Yahweh.”
10 Então elle lhes disse: Seja o Senhor assim comvosco, como eu vos deixarei ir a vós e a vossos filhos: olhae que ha mal diante da vossa face.
[Moses/I really did not intend that the Israelis would ever return to Egypt, and the king knew that also. So] the king replied [sarcastically], “[If you all leave], [it will be clear that] Yahweh has helped you, but I myself will never let you [take] your children [and your wives] when you go! It is clear that you are wickedly planning [not to return].
11 Não será assim: andae agora vós, varões, e servi ao Senhor; pois isso é o que pedistes. E os empuxaram da face de Pharaó.
So no, [I will not let you all go]. [The Israeli] men may go [and worship Yahweh], if that is what you want.” Then the king expelled them/us from [his palace].
12 Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Estende a tua mão sobre a terra do Egypto pelos gafanhotos, para que venham sobre a terra do Egypto, e comam toda a herva da terra, tudo o que deixou a saraiva.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Reach out your hand as [though you were stretching it] over the land to welcome the locusts. They will come to the country of Egypt and eat every plant that is [left] in the land, every plant that the hail has not destroyed.”
13 Então estendeu Moysés sua vara sobre a terra do Egypto, e o Senhor trouxe sobre a terra um vento oriental todo aquelle dia e toda aquella noite: e aconteceu que pela manhã o vento oriental trouxe os gafanhotos.
So Moses/I held out his/my stick [as though he/I was stretching it] over the whole land of Egypt. Then Yahweh caused a [strong] wind to blow from the east, and it blew over the land all that day and all that night. By the [next] morning, it had brought the locusts.
14 E vieram os gafanhotos sobre toda a terra do Egypto, e assentaram-se sobre todos os termos do Egypto; mui graves foram; antes d'estes nunca houve taes gafanhotos, nem depois d'elles virão outros taes.
The locusts swarmed all over Egypt. It was larger than any swarm of locusts that had ever [been seen], and there will never be [a swarm of locusts like that] again.
15 Porque cobriram a face de toda a terra, de modo que a terra se escureceu; e comeram toda a herva da terra, e todo o fructo das arvores, que deixara a saraiva; e não ficou alguma verdura nas arvores, nem na herva do campo, em toda a terra do Egypto.
They covered the surface of the ground and made it [appear] black. They ate all the plants in the land and everything on the trees that had not been destroyed by the hail. Nothing that was green was left on any plant or on any tree, anywhere in Egypt.
16 Então Pharaó se apressou a chamar a Moysés e a Aarão, e disse: Pequei contra o Senhor vosso Deus, e contra vós
The king quickly summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “I have sinned against Yahweh, your god, and against you [two].
17 Agora, pois, peço-vos que perdoeis o meu peccado sómente d'esta vez, e que oreis ao Senhor vosso Deus que tire de mim sómente esta morte.
So now I ask you to forgive me this one time [for having] sinned, and pray to Yahweh your god to stop [these locusts] [MTY] [from causing everything] to die.”
18 E saiu da presença de Pharaó, e orou ao Senhor.
They/We left the king, and Moses/I prayed to Yahweh.
19 Então o Senhor trouxe um vento occidental fortissimo, o qual levantou os gafanhotos e os lançou no Mar Vermelho; nem ainda um gafanhoto ficou em todos os termos do Egypto.
Then Yahweh changed the wind so that it blew [strongly] from the west, and it blew all the locusts into the Red Sea (OR, the Gulf of Suez). There was not one locust left anywhere in the country of Egypt.
20 O Senhor, porém, endureceu o coração de Pharaó, e não deixou ir os filhos de Israel.
But Yahweh made the king stubborn [IDM] [again], and he did not let the Israeli people go.
21 Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Estende a tua mão para o céu, e virão trevas sobre a terra do Egypto, trevas que se apalpem.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Reach your hand up toward the sky, in order that there will be darkness over all the land of Egypt, a darkness [so complete] that people will have to grope around [to know where to walk].”
22 E Moysés estendeu a sua mão para o céu, e houve trevas espessas em toda a terra do Egypto por tres dias.
So Moses/I reached his/my hand toward the sky, and it became totally dark all over Egypt for three days [and nights].
23 Não viu um ao outro, e ninguem se levantou do seu logar por tres dias; mas todos os filhos de Israel tinham luz em suas habitações.
People could not see each other. No one left his house during that whole time. But there was light in the area where the Israeli people were living.
24 Então Pharaó chamou a Moysés, e disse: Ide, servi ao Senhor: sómente fiquem vossas ovelhas e vossas vaccas: vão tambem comvosco as vossas creanças.
The king summoned Moses/me and said, “All right, you may go and worship Yahweh. [Your wives and] your children may go with you. But your flocks of sheep and goats and your herds of cattle must remain here.”
25 Moysés, porém, disse: Tu tambem darás em nossas mãos sacrificios e holocaustos, que offereçamos ao Senhor nosso Deus
But Moses/I replied, “[No], you must let us [take along the sheep and goats, in order] that we may have [some of them] to sacrifice and give as burned offerings to Yahweh, our God.
26 E tambem o nosso gado ha de ir comnosco, nem uma unha ficará; porque d'aquelle havemos de tomar, para servir ao Senhor nosso Deus: porque não sabemos com que havemos de servir ao Senhor, até que cheguemos lá
Our livestock must also go with us; we are not going to leave one of them [SYN] behind. We must take them to worship Yahweh. We will not know [which animals to sacrifice] until we get to where we are going.”
27 O Senhor, porém, endureceu o coração de Pharaó, e não os quiz deixar ir.
But Yahweh made the king [continue to be] stubborn [IDM], and he would not let [the Israeli] people go.
28 E disse-lhe Pharaó: Vae-te de mim, guarda-te que não mais vejas o meu rosto: porque no dia em que vires o meu rosto, morrerás.
The king said to me, “Get out of here! Make sure that you never come to see me [SYN] again! The day you see me again, [I will have] you executed!”
29 E disse Moysés: Bem disseste; eu nunca mais verei o teu rosto.
Moses/I replied, “You are correct! You will never see me [SYN] again!”
