< 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.
When the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.”
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 said to them, “Take off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, 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,
All the people took off the golden rings which were in their ears, 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 received what they handed him, fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molded calf. Then they said, “These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of 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 this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, “Tomorrow shall be a feast to the LORD.”
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.
They rose up early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
7 Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Vae, desce; porque o teu povo, que fizeste subir do Egypto, se tem corrompido,
The LORD spoke to Moses, “Go, get down; for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves!
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 turned away quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molded calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.’”
9 Disse mais o Senhor a Moysés: Tenho visto a este povo, e eis que é povo obstinado.
The LORD said to Moses, “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.
10 Agora pois deixa-me que o meu furor se accenda contra elles, e os consuma: e eu te farei uma grande nação.
Now therefore leave me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of you 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?
Moses begged the LORD his God, and said, “LORD, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, that you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
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.
Why should the Egyptians talk, saying, ‘He brought them out for evil, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the surface of the earth’? Turn from your fierce wrath, and turn away from this evil against your people.
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.
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the sky, and all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.’”
14 Então o Senhor arrependeu-se do mal que dissera, que havia de fazer ao seu povo.
So the LORD turned away from the evil which he said he would do to his people.
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 turned, and went down from the mountain, with the two tablets of the covenant in his hand; tablets that were written on both their sides. They were written on one side and on the other.
16 E aquellas taboas eram obra de Deus; tambem a escriptura era a mesma escriptura de Deus, esculpida nas taboas.
The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
17 E, ouvindo Josué a voz do povo que jubilava, disse a Moysés: Alarido de guerra ha no arraial.
When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is the noise of war in the camp.”
18 Porém elle disse: Não é alarido dos victoriosos, nem alarido dos vencidos, mas o alarido dos que cantam eu ouço.
He said, “It isn’t the voice of those who shout for victory. It is not the voice of those who cry for being overcome; but the noise of those who sing that I hear.”
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 he came near to the camp, he saw the calf and the dancing. Then Moses’ anger grew hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath 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.
He took the calf which they had made, and burned it with fire, ground it to powder, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel drink it.
21 E Moysés disse a Aarão: Que te tem feito este povo, que sobre elle trouxeste tamanho peccado?
Moses said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, that you have brought a great sin on them?”
22 Então disse Aarão: Não se accenda a ira do meu senhor: tu sabes que este povo é inclinado ao mal
Aaron said, “Don’t let the anger of my lord grow hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.
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.
For they said to me, ‘Make us gods, which shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.’
24 Então eu lhes disse: Quem tem oiro, arranque-o: e deram-m'o, e lancei-o no fogo, e saiu este bezerro.
I said to them, ‘Whoever has any gold, let them take it off.’ So they gave it to me; and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.”
25 E vendo Moysés que o povo estava despido, porque Aarão o havia despido para vergonha entre os seus inimigos,
When Moses saw that the people were out of control, (for Aaron had let them lose control, causing derision among their enemies),
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.
then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, “Whoever is on the LORD’s side, come to me!” All the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
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.
He said to them, “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Every man put his sword on his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and every man kill his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.’”
28 E os filhos de Levi fizeram conforme á palavra de Moysés: e cairam do povo aquelle dia uns tres mil homens.
The sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. About three thousand men fell of the people 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 said, “Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, for every man was against his son and against his brother, that he may give you a blessing today.”
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.
On the next day, Moses said to the people, “You have sinned a great sin. Now I will go up to the LORD. Perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin.”
31 Assim tornou-se Moysés ao Senhor, e disse: Ora, este povo peccou peccado grande, fazendo para si deuses d'oiro.
Moses returned to the LORD, and said, “Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made themselves gods of gold.
32 Agora pois perdoa o seu peccado, senão risca-me, peço-te, do teu Livro, que tens escripto.
Yet now, if you will, forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written.”
33 Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Aquelle que peccar contra mim, a este riscarei eu do meu livro.
The LORD said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot him out of my 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 go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, my angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin.”
35 Assim feriu o Senhor o povo, porquanto fizeram o bezerro que Aarão tinha feito.
The LORD struck the people, because of what they did with the calf, which Aaron made.
