Êxodo 14
1 Então fallou o Senhor a Moysés, dizendo:
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Falla aos filhos de Israel que tornem, e que se acampem diante de Pi-hahiroth, entre Migdol e o mar, diante de Baal-zephon: em frente d'elle assentareis o campo junto ao mar.
“Speak to the sons of Israel. Let them turn back and encamp away from the region of Pihahiroth, which is between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal-zephon. In its sight you shall place your camp, above the sea.
3 Então Pharaó dirá dos filhos de Israel: Estão embaraçados na terra, o deserto os encerrou.
And Pharaoh will say about the sons of Israel, ‘They have been confined by the land; the desert has enclosed them.’
4 E eu endurecerei o coração de Pharaó, para que os persiga, e serei glorificado em Pharaó em todo o seu exercito, e saberão os egypcios que eu sou o Senhor. E elles fizeram assim.
And I will harden his heart, and so he will pursue you. And I will be glorified in Pharaoh, and in all his army. And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.
5 Sendo pois annunciado ao rei do Egypto que o povo fugia, mudou-se o coração de Pharaó e dos seus servos contra o povo, e disseram: Porque fizemos isso, havendo deixado ir a Israel, que nos não sirva?
And it was reported to the king of the Egyptians that the people had fled. And the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed about the people, and they said, “What did we intend to do, so that we released Israel from serving us?”
6 E apromptou o seu carro, e tomou comsigo o seu povo;
Therefore, he harnessed his chariot, and he took all his people with him.
7 E tomou seiscentos carros escolhidos, e todos os carros do Egypto, e os capitães sobre elles todos.
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and whatever chariots were in Egypt, and also the leaders of the whole army.
8 Porque o Senhor endureceu o coração de Pharaó, rei do Egypto, que perseguisse aos filhos de Israel: porém os filhos de Israel sairam com alta mão
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he pursued the sons of Israel. But they were taken away by an exalted hand.
9 E os egypcios perseguiram-n'os, todos os cavallos e carros de Pharaó, e os seus cavalleiros, e o seu exercito, e alcançaram-n'os acampados junto ao mar, perto de Pi-hahiroth, diante de Baal-zephon.
And when the Egyptians followed the footsteps of those who preceded them, they found them in a camp above the sea. All the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and the entire army, were in Pihahiroth, opposite Baal-zephon.
10 E, chegando Pharaó, os filhos de Israel levantaram seus olhos, e eis que os egypcios vinham atraz d'elles, e temeram muito; então os filhos de Israel clamaram ao Senhor.
And when Pharaoh had drawn near, the sons of Israel, lifting up their eyes, saw the Egyptians behind them. And they were very afraid. And they cried out to the Lord.
11 E disseram a Moysés: Não havia sepulchros no Egypto, que nos tiraste de lá, para que morramos n'este deserto? porque nos fizeste isto, que nos tens tirado do Egypto?
And they said to Moses: “Perhaps there were no graves in Egypt, for which reason you took us to die in the wilderness. What is it that you intended to do, in leading us out of Egypt?
12 Não é esta a palavra que te temos fallado no Egypto, dizendo: Deixa-nos, que sirvamos aos egypcios? pois que melhor nos fôra servir aos egypcios, do que morrermos no deserto.
Is this not the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying: Withdraw from us, so that we may serve the Egyptians? For it was much better to serve them, than to die in the wilderness.”
13 Moysés, porém, disse ao povo: Não temaes; estae quietos, e vêde o livramento do Senhor, que hoje vos fará: porque aos egypcios, que hoje vistes, nunca mais vereis para sempre:
And Moses said to the people: “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and see the great wonders of the Lord, which he will do today. For the Egyptians, whom you now see, will never again be seen, forever.
14 O Senhor pelejará por vós, e vos calareis.
The Lord will fight on your behalf, and you will remain silent.”
15 Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Porque clamas a mim? dize aos filhos de Israel que marchem.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Why cry out to me? Tell the sons of Israel to continue on.
16 E tu, levanta a tua vara, e estende a tua mão sobre o mar, e fende-o, para que os filhos de Israel passem pelo meio do mar em secco.
Now, lift up your staff, and extend your hand over the sea and divide it, so that the sons of Israel may walk through the midst of the sea on dry ground.
17 E eu, eis que endurecerei o coração dos egypcios, para que entrem n'elle atraz d'elles; e eu serei glorificado em Pharaó, e em todo o seu exercito, nos seus carros e nos seus cavalleiros,
Then I will harden the heart of the Egyptians, so as to pursue you. And I will be glorified in Pharaoh, and in all his army, and in his chariots, and in his horsemen.
18 E os egypcios saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando fôr glorificado em Pharaó, nos seus carros e nos seus cavalleiros.
And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord, when I will be glorified in Pharaoh, and in his chariots, as well as in his horsemen.”
19 E o anjo de Deus, que ia diante do exercito d'Israel, se retirou, e ia detraz d'elles: tambem a columna de nuvem se retirou de diante d'elles, e se poz atraz d'elles,
And the Angel of God, who preceded the camp of Israel, lifting himself up, went behind them. And the pillar of cloud, together with him, left the front for the rear
20 E ia entre o campo dos egypcios e o campo d'Israel: e a nuvem era escuridade para aquelles, e para estes esclarecia a noite: de maneira que em toda a noite não chegou um ao outro.
and stood between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. And it was a dark cloud, yet it illuminated the night, so that they could not succeed at approaching one another at any time all that night.
21 Então Moysés estendeu a sua mão sobre o mar, e o Senhor fez retirar o mar por um forte vento oriental toda aquella noite; e o mar tornou-se em secco, e as aguas foram partidas.
And when Moses had extended his hand over the sea, the Lord took it away by an intense burning wind, blowing throughout the night, and he turned it into dry ground. And the water was divided.
22 E os filhos d'Israel entraram pelo meio do mar em secco: e as aguas foram-lhes como muro á sua direita e á sua esquerda.
And the sons of Israel went in through the midst of the dried sea. For the water was like a wall at their right hand and at their left hand.
23 E os egypcios seguiram-n'os, e entraram atraz d'elles todos os cavallos de Pharaó, os seus carros e os seus cavalleiros, até ao meio do mar.
And the Egyptians, pursuing them, went in after them, along with all of the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots and horsemen, through the midst of the sea.
24 E aconteceu que, na vigilia d'aquella manhã, o Senhor, na columna do fogo e da nuvem, viu o campo dos egypcios: e alvorotou o campo dos egypcios,
And now the morning watch had arrived, and behold, the Lord, looking down upon the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of cloud, put to death their army.
25 E tirou-lhes as rodas dos seus carros, e fel-os andar difficultosamente. Então disseram os egypcios: Fujamos da face d'Israel, porque o Senhor por elles peleja contra os egypcios.
And he overturned the wheels of the chariots, and they were carried into the deep. Therefore, the Egyptians said: “Let us flee from Israel. For the Lord fights on their behalf against us.”
26 E disse o Senhor a Moysés: Estende a tua mão sobre o mar, para que as aguas tornem sobre os egypcios, sobre os seus carros e sobre os seus cavalleiros.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand over the sea, so that the waters may return on the Egyptians, over their chariots and horsemen.”
27 Então Moysés estendeu a sua mão sobre o mar, e o mar tornou-se em sua força ao amanhecer, e os egypcios fugiram ao seu encontro: e o Senhor derribou os egypcios no meio do mar
And when Moses had extended his hand opposite the sea, it was returned, at first light, to its former place. And the fleeing Egyptians met with the waters, and the Lord immersed them in the midst of the waves.
28 Porque as aguas, tornando, cobriram os carros e os cavalleiros de todo o exercito de Pharaó, que os haviam seguido no mar: nem ainda um d'elles ficou.
And the waters were returned, and they covered the chariots and horsemen of the entire army of Pharaoh, who, in following, had entered into the sea. And not so much as one of them was left alive.
29 Mas os filhos d'Israel foram pelo meio do mar secco: e as aguas foram-lhes como muro á sua mão direita e á sua esquerda.
But the sons of Israel continued directly through the midst of the dried sea, and the waters were to them like a wall on the right and on the left.
30 Assim o Senhor salvou Israel n'aquelle dia da mão dos egypcios: e Israel viu os egypcios mortos na praia do mar.
And so the Lord freed Israel on that day from the hand of the Egyptians.
31 E viu Israel a grande mão que o Senhor mostrara aos egypcios; e temeu o povo ao Senhor, e creram no Senhor e em Moysés, seu servo.
And they saw the Egyptians dead on the shore of the sea and the great hand that the Lord had exercised against them. And the people feared the Lord, and they believed in the Lord and in Moses his servant.
