Êxodo 2
1 E foi-se um varão da casa de Levi, e casou com uma filha de Levi.
And there was a certain man of the tribe of Levi, who took to wife one of the daughters of Levi.
2 E a mulher concebeu, e pariu um filho, e, vendo que elle era formoso, escondeu-o tres mezes.
And she conceived, and bore a male child; and having seen that he was fair, they hid him three months.
3 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
And when they could no longer hide him, his mother took for him an ark, and besmeared it with bitumen, and cast the child into it, and put it in the ooze by the river.
4 E sua irmã parou-se de longe, para saber o que lhe havia de acontecer.
And his sister was watching from a distance, to learn what would happen to him.
5 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.
And the daughter of Pharao came down to the river to bathe; and her maids walked by the river's side, and having seen the ark in the ooze, she sent her maid, and took it up.
6 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.
And having opened it, she sees the babe weeping in the ark: and the daughter of Pharao had compassion on it, and said, This [is one] of the Hebrew's children.
7 Então disse sua irmã á filha de Pharaó: Irei eu a chamar uma ama das hebreas, que crie este menino por ti?
And his sister said to the daughter of Pharao, Wilt thou that I call to thee a nurse of the Hebrews, and shall she suckle the child for thee?
8 E a filha de Pharaó disse-lhe: Vae. E foi-se a moça, e chamou a mãe do menino.
And the daughter of Pharao said, Go: and the young woman went, and called the mother of the child.
9 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.
And the daughter of Pharao said to her, Take care of this child, and suckled it for me, and I will give thee the wages; and the woman took the child, and suckled it.
10 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.
And when the boy was grown, she brought him to the daughter of Pharao, and he became her son; and she called his name, Moses, saying, I took him out of the water.
11 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.
And it came to pass in that length of time, that Moses having grown, went out to his brethren the sons of Israel: and having noticed their distress, he sees an Egyptian smiting a certain Hebrew of his brethren the children of Israel.
12 E olhou a uma e a outra banda, e, vendo que ninguem ali havia, feriu ao egypcio, e escondeu-o na areia.
And having looked round this way and that way, he sees no one; and he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 E tornou a sair no dia seguinte, e eis que dois varões hebreos contendiam; e disse ao injusto: Porque feres a teu proximo?
And having gone out the second day he sees two Hebrew men fighting; and he says to the injurer, Wherefore smitest thou thy neighbour?
14 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.
And he said, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? wilt thou slay me as thou yesterday slewest the Egyptian? Then Moses was alarmed, and said, If [it be] thus, this matter has become known.
15 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.
And Pharao heard this matter, and sought to slay Moses; and Moses departed from the presence of Pharao, and dwelt in the land of Madiam; and having come into the land of Madiam, he sat on the well.
16 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.
And the priest of Madiam had seven daughters, feeding the flock of their father Jothor; and they came and drew water until they filled their pitchers, to water the flock of their father Jothor.
17 Então vieram os pastores, e lançaram-as d'ali; Moysés porém levantou-se, e defendeu-as, e abeberou-lhes o rebanho.
And the shepherds came, and were driving them away; and Moses rose up and rescued them, and drew water for them, and watered their sheep.
18 E vindo ellas a Reuel seu pae, elle disse: Porque hoje tomastes tão depressa?
And they came to Raguel their father; and he said to them, Why have ye come so quickly to-day?
19 E ellas disseram: Um homem egypcio nos livrou da mão dos pastores; e tambem nos tirou agua em abundancia, e abeberou o rebanho.
And they said, An Egyptian delivered us from the shepherds, and drew water for us and watered our sheep.
20 E disse a suas filhas: E onde está elle? porque deixastes o homem? chamae-o para que coma pão.
And he said to his daughters, And where is he? and why have ye left the man? call him therefore, that he may eat bread.
21 E Moysés consentiu em morar com aquelle homem: e elle deu a Moysés sua filha Zippora,
And Moses was established with the man, and he gave Sepphora his daughter to Moses to wife.
22 A qual pariu um filho, e elle chamou o seu nome Gerson, porque disse: Peregrino fui em terra estranha.
And the woman conceived and bore a son, and Moses called his name Gersam, saying, I am a sojourner in a strange land.
23 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.
And in those days after a length of time, the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel groaned because of their tasks, and cried, and their cry because of their tasks went up to God.
24 E ouviu Deus o seu gemido, e lembrou-se Deus do seu concerto com Abrahão, com Isaac, e com Jacob;
And God heard their groanings, and God remembered his covenant made with Abraam and Isaac and Jacob.
25 E attentou Deus para os filhos d'Israel, e conheceu-os Deus.
And God looked upon the children of Israel, and was made known to them.
