Êxodo 2
1 E foi-se um varão da casa de Levi, e casou com uma filha de Levi.
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
2 E a mulher concebeu, e pariu um filho, e, vendo que elle era formoso, escondeu-o tres mezes.
And the woman conceived, and bore a son; and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she 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 she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch; and she put the child therein, and laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
4 E sua irmã parou-se de longe, para saber o que lhe havia de acontecer.
And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done 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 Pharaoh came down to bathe in the river; and her maidens walked along by the river-side; and she saw the ark among the flags, and sent her handmaid to fetch it.
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 she opened it, and saw it, even the child; and behold a boy that wept. And she had compassion on him, and said: 'This is one of the Hebrews' children.'
7 Então disse sua irmã á filha de Pharaó: Irei eu a chamar uma ama das hebreas, que crie este menino por ti?
Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter: 'Shall I go and call thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse 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 Pharaoh's daughter said to her: 'Go.' And the maiden went and called the child's mother.
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 Pharaoh's daughter said unto her: 'Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages.' And the woman took the child, and nursed 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 the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said: 'Because I drew 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 those days, when Moses was grown up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens; and he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 E olhou a uma e a outra banda, e, vendo que ninguem ali havia, feriu ao egypcio, e escondeu-o na areia.
And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, 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 he went out the second day, and, behold, two men of the Hebrews were striving together; and he said to him that did the wrong: 'Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?'
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? thinkest thou to kill me, as thou didst kill the Egyptian?' And Moses feared, and said: 'Surely the thing is 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.
Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a 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.
Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
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 drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 E vindo ellas a Reuel seu pae, elle disse: Porque hoje tomastes tão depressa?
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said: 'How is it that ye are come so soon 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 out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.'
20 E disse a suas filhas: E onde está elle? porque deixastes o homem? chamae-o para que coma pão.
And he said unto his daughters: 'And where is he? Why is it that ye have left the man? call him, 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 content to dwell with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22 A qual pariu um filho, e elle chamou o seu nome Gerson, porque disse: Peregrino fui em terra estranha.
And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said: 'I have been a stranger 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 it came to pass in the course of those many days that the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
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 groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 E attentou Deus para os filhos d'Israel, e conheceu-os Deus.
And God saw the children of Israel, and God took cognizance of them.
