< Êxodo 14 >
1 Então fallou o Senhor a Moysés, dizendo:
Then spake Yahweh unto 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 unto the sons of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, —before Baal-zephon, over against it, shall ye encamp, by the sea.
3 Então Pharaó dirá dos filhos de Israel: Estão embaraçados na terra, o deserto os encerrou.
Then will Pharaoh say, of the sons of Israel, Entangled, they are in the land, —the desert hath closed in upon 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.
So will I let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold, and he will pursue them, that I may get me honour over Pharaoh, and over all his forces, and the Egyptians shall know, that I, am Yahweh. 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 told the king of Egypt, that the people had fled, —and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people, and they said—What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
6 E apromptou o seu carro, e tomou comsigo o seu povo;
So he yoked his chariot, —and his people, took he 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 all the chariots of Egypt, —with warriors in every one.
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 Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt wax bold, and he pursued the sons of Israel, —when the sons of Israel, were going out with a high 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.
So the Egyptians pursued them and overtook them, encamping by the sea—all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his forces, —by Pi-hahiroth, before 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.
Now when, Pharaoh, had drawn near, the sons of Israel lifted up their eyes, and lo! the Egyptians, moving along after them and they feared greatly, and the sons of Israel made outcry unto Yahweh.
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?
Then said they unto Moses, Was it because there were no graves in Egypt, that thou didst fetch us to die in the desert? What is this thou hast done to us, bringing us forth 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 not this the word which we spake unto thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians, —for it is better for us, to serve the Egyptians, than to die in the desert?
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 unto the people—Do not fear, stand still and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you to-day, —for as for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall not again see them any more to times age-abiding.
14 O Senhor pelejará por vós, e vos calareis.
Yahweh, will fight for you, —and, ye, shall forbear.
15 Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Porque clamas a mim? dize aos filhos de Israel que marchem.
And Yahweh said unto Moses, What outcry wouldst thou make unto me? Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they go forward;
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.
and, thou, lift high thy staff and stretch forth thy hand over the sea and cleave it asunder, —that the sons of Israel may enter into 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,
and, I, behold me letting the heart of the Egyptians wax bold, that they may enter after them, —that I may get me honour over Pharaoh and over his forces, over his chariots, and over 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 shall know, that, I, am Yahweh, —when I have gotten me honour over Pharaoh, over his chariots and over 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 messenger of God who was going on before the camp of Israel removed, and came on behind them, —and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them;
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.
so it came in between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, so it became a cloud and darkness, and yet lighted up the night, —so that the one came not near unto the other, all the 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 Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and Yahweh carried away the sea by a mighty east wind all the night, and turned the sea into dry land, —and the waters were cloven asunder.
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.
Then went the sons of Israel into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, —and, the waters, to them, were a wall, on their right hand and on their left.
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 pursued, and entered after them—all the horses of Pharaoh his chariots and his horsemen, —into 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 it came to pass in the morning watch, that Yahweh looked down into the camp of the Egyptians, through the pillar of fire and cloud, and confused the camp of the Egyptians;
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 took off the wheels of their chariots, and made them drive heavily, —so that the Egyptians said—We must flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh, is fighting for them against the Egyptians.
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.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Stretch forth thy hand over the sea, —that the waters may return upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their 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
So Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea and the sea returned, towards morning, to its steady flow, when the Egyptians, were fleeing to meet it, —thus Yahweh shook off the Egyptians into the midst of the sea;
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.
thus the waters returned and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the forces of Pharaoh that were entering after them into the sea, —there was not left remaining among them so much as one.
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, had gone their way on dry ground in the saidst of the sea, —and the waters had been to them a wall, on their right hand and on their left.
30 Assim o Senhor salvou Israel n'aquelle dia da mão dos egypcios: e Israel viu os egypcios mortos na praia do mar.
Thus did Yahweh, on that day, save Israel, out of the hand of the Egyptians, —and Israel saw the Egyptians, dead on the shore of the sea.
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 when Israel saw the mighty hand wherewith Yahweh had wrought against the Egyptians, then did the people revere Yahweh, —and they put their trust in Yahweh, and in Moses, his servant.
