Êxodo 32
1 Mas vendo o povo que Moysés tardava em descer do monte, ajuntou-se o povo a Aarão, e disseram-lhe: Levanta-te, faze-nos deuses, que vão adiante de nós: porque emquanto a este Moysés, a este homem que nos tirou da terra do Egypto, não sabemos o que lhe succedeu.
[(Moses/I) stayed on top of the mountain a long time]. When the people realized that he/I was not returning quickly, they gathered near Aaron and said to him, “We do not know what has happened to that man Moses who brought us here out of Egypt. So quickly, make us ([an idol/a statue of a god]) who will lead us!”
2 E Aarão lhes disse: Arrancae os pendentes de oiro, que estão nas orelhas de vossas mulheres, e de vossos filhos, e de vossas filhas, e trazeim'os.
Aaron replied to them, “All right, [I will do that, but] tell your wives and your sons and your daughters to take off all their gold earrings and bring them to me.”
3 Então todo o povo arrancou os pendentes de oiro, que estavam nas suas orelhas, e os trouxeram a Aarão,
So the people did that. They took off all their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.
4 E elle os tomou das suas mãos, e formou o oiro com um buril, e fez d'elle um bezerro de fundição. Então disseram: Estes são teus deuses, ó Israel, que te tiraram da terra do Egypto.
He took all those gold earrings and melted them in a fire. He [poured the gold into a mold and] made a statue that looked like a young bull. The people saw it and said, “This is the god of us Israeli people! This is the one who brought us up from the land of Egypt!”
5 E Aarão, vendo isto, edificou um altar diante d'elle: e Aarão apregoou, e disse: Ámanhã será festa ao Senhor.
When Aaron saw [what was happening], he built an altar in front of the [statue of the] young bull. Then he announced, “Tomorrow we will have a festival to honor Yahweh!”
6 E no dia seguinte madrugaram, e offereceram holocaustos, e trouxeram offertas pacificas; e o povo assentou-se a comer e a beber; depois levantaram-se a folgar.
So the people got up early the next morning and brought animals to kill and burn as sacrifices on the altar. They also brought sacrifices to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. Then they sat down to eat and drink [wine]. Then they got up and started dancing in a very immoral way.
7 Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Vae, desce; porque o teu povo, que fizeste subir do Egypto, se tem corrompido,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go back down from the mountain, because your people, the ones that you brought up here from Egypt, have [already] (become very depraved/wicked)!
8 E depressa se tem desviado do caminho que eu lhes tinha ordenado: fizeram para si um bezerro de fundição, e perante elle se inclinaram, e sacrificaram-lhe, e disseram: Estes são os teus deuses, ó Israel, que te tiraram da terra do Egypto.
They have already (left the road that I showed them/stopped obeying me)! They have made [a statue of] a young bull from melted gold. They have worshiped it and offered sacrifices to it. And they are saying, ‘This is the god of us Israeli people! This is the one who brought us up from Egypt!’”
9 Disse mais o Senhor a Moysés: Tenho visto a este povo, e eis que é povo obstinado.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “I have seen that these people are very stubborn.
10 Agora pois deixa-me que o meu furor se accenda contra elles, e os consuma: e eu te farei uma grande nação.
I am very angry with them, and so I am going to get rid of them. Do not try to stop me! Then I will cause you and your descendants to become a great nation.”
11 Porém Moysés supplicou ao Senhor seu Deus, e disse: O Senhor, porque se accende o teu furor contra o teu povo, que tu tiraste da terra do Egypto com grande força e com forte mão?
But Moses/I pleaded with his/my God, Yahweh, and said, “Yahweh, (you should not be very angry with your people!/why are you so angry with your people [RHQ]?) These are the people whom you rescued from Egypt with very great power [MTY, DOU]!
12 Porque hão de fallar os egypcios, dizendo: Para mal os tirou, para matal-os nos montes, e para destruil-os da face da terra? Torna-te da ira do teu furor, e arrepende-te d'este mal contra o teu povo.
Do not [do anything that would] allow the people of Egypt to say, ‘Their god led them out from our country, but [he did that] only [because he wanted] to kill them in the mountains and get rid of them completely [RHQ]!’ Stop being so angry! (Change your mind/Do not do what you have told me that you will do)! Do not do to your people this terrible thing [that you have just said that you will do]
13 Lembra-te de Abrahão, de Isaac, e de Israel, os teus servos, aos quaes por ti mesmo tens jurado, e lhes disseste: Multiplicarei a vossa semente como as estrellas dos céus, e darei á vossa semente toda esta terra, de que tenho dito, para que a possuam por herança eternamente.
Think about your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You solemnly promised them, ‘I will enable you to have as many descendants as there are stars in the sky.’ You said to them, ‘I will give to your descendants all the land that I am promising to give them. It will be their land forever.’”
14 Então o Senhor arrependeu-se do mal que dissera, que havia de fazer ao seu povo.
So Yahweh changed his mind. He did not do to his people the terrible thing that he said he would do.
15 E tornou-se Moysés, e desceu do monte com as duas taboas do testemunho na sua mão, taboas escriptas de ambas as bandas; de uma e de outra banda escriptas estavam,
Moses/I turned away from God and went down the mountain, carrying in his hands the two stone slabs on which Yahweh had engraved his commandments. He had written on both sides of the slabs.
16 E aquellas taboas eram obra de Deus; tambem a escriptura era a mesma escriptura de Deus, esculpida nas taboas.
God [himself] had made the slabs, and he was the one who had engraved the commandments on them.
17 E, ouvindo Josué a voz do povo que jubilava, disse a Moysés: Alarido de guerra ha no arraial.
Joshua heard the very loud noise of the people shouting. So when he and I got near the camp, Joshua said, “There is a noise in the camp that sounds like [the noise of] a battle!”
18 Porém elle disse: Não é alarido dos victoriosos, nem alarido dos vencidos, mas o alarido dos que cantam eu ouço.
But Moses/I replied, [“No], that is not the shouting that people do when they have won a victory or when they have been defeated [in a battle] What I hear is the sound of [loud] singing!”
19 E aconteceu que, chegando elle ao arraial, e vendo o bezerro e as danças, accendeu-se o furor de Moysés, e arremessou as taboas das suas mãos, e quebrou-as ao pé do monte;
As soon as Moses/I came close to the camp and saw the statue of the young bull and saw the people dancing, he/I became extremely angry. He/I threw the stone tablets that he/I was carrying down onto the ground, there at the base of the mountain.
20 E tomou o bezerro que tinham feito, e queimou-o no fogo, moendo-o até que se tornou em pó; e o espargiu sobre as aguas, e deu-o a beber aos filhos de Israel.
Then he/I took the statue of the young bull that they had made and melted it in the fire. [When it cooled], he/I ground it into [fine] powder. Then he/I mixed the powder with water and forced the Israeli people to drink it.
21 E Moysés disse a Aarão: Que te tem feito este povo, que sobre elle trouxeste tamanho peccado?
Then he/I said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, with the result that you have made them commit such a terrible sin?”
22 Então disse Aarão: Não se accenda a ira do meu senhor: tu sabes que este povo é inclinado ao mal
Aaron replied, “Please do not be angry with me, sir. You know that these people are very determined to do evil things.
23 E elles me disseram: Faze-nos deuses que vão adiante de nós; porque não sabemos que succedeu a este Moysés, a este homem que nos tirou da terra do Egypto.
They said to me, ‘As for that man Moses, the one who brought us up here from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him. So make for us an idol that will lead us!’
24 Então eu lhes disse: Quem tem oiro, arranque-o: e deram-m'o, e lancei-o no fogo, e saiu este bezerro.
So I said to them, ‘Everyone who is wearing [gold earrings] should take them off.’ So they [took them off and] gave them to me. I threw them into the fire, and out came this statue of a young bull!”
25 E vendo Moysés que o povo estava despido, porque Aarão o havia despido para vergonha entre os seus inimigos,
Moses/I saw that Aaron had allowed the people to become completely out of control and to do things that would make their enemies think the Israeli people were foolish.
26 Poz-se em pé Moysés na porta do arraial, e disse: Quem é do Senhor, venha a mim. Então se ajuntaram a elle todos os filhos de Levi.
So he/I stood at the entrance to the camp and shouted, “Everyone who is loyal to Yahweh should come [closer] to me!” So the descendants of Levi gathered around him/me.
27 E disse-lhes: Assim diz o Senhor, o Deus de Israel: Cada um ponha a sua espada sobre a sua coxa: e passae e tornae pelo arraial de porta em porta, e mate cada um a seu irmão, e cada um a seu amigo, e cada um a seu proximo.
Then he/I said to them, “Yahweh, the God of us Israeli people, commands that every one of you should fasten your sword to your side, and then go through the camp from this entrance to the other one, and kill some of your relatives and your companions and your neighbors.”
28 E os filhos de Levi fizeram conforme á palavra de Moysés: e cairam do povo aquelle dia uns tres mil homens.
The descendants of Levi did what Moses/I told them to do, and they killed 3,000 men on that day.
29 Porquanto Moysés tinha dito: Consagrae hoje as vossas mãos ao Senhor; porquanto cada um será contra o seu filho, e contra o seu irmão: e isto para elle vos dar hoje benção.
Moses/I said to the descendants of Levi, “Today you have dedicated yourselves to serving Yahweh by (killing/not sparing) [even] your own sons and brothers, and as a result Yahweh will bless you.”
30 E aconteceu que no dia seguinte Moysés disse ao povo: Vós peccastes grande peccado: agora porém subirei ao Senhor; porventura farei propiciação por vosso peccado.
The next day, Moses/I said to the people, “You have committed a terrible sin. But I will now climb up the mountain again to talk with Yahweh. Perhaps I can [persuade him] to forgive you for sinning [like this].”
31 Assim tornou-se Moysés ao Senhor, e disse: Ora, este povo peccou peccado grande, fazendo para si deuses d'oiro.
So Moses/I went back up the mountain and said to Yahweh, “I am sorry to admit that these people have committed a terrible sin. They have made for themselves a gold idol and have worshiped it.
32 Agora pois perdoa o seu peccado, senão risca-me, peço-te, do teu Livro, que tens escripto.
But now I ask you to please forgive them for having sinned. If you will not forgive them, then erase my name from the book in which you have written [the names of your people].”
33 Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Aquelle que peccar contra mim, a este riscarei eu do meu livro.
But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “It is [only] those who have sinned against me whose names I will erase from that book.
34 Vae pois agora, conduze este povo para onde te tenho dito: eis que o meu anjo irá adiante de ti; porém no dia da minha visitação visitarei n'elles o seu peccado.
Now you go back down and lead the [Israeli] people to the place that I told you about. Keep in mind that my angel will go in front of you. But, at the time that I determine, I will punish them for their sin.”
35 Assim feriu o Senhor o povo, porquanto fizeram o bezerro que Aarão tinha feito.
[Later] Yahweh caused a plague to strike the people because they had told Aaron to make the gold [statue of a] young bull.
