Êxodo 4
1 Então respondeu Moysés, e disse: Mas eis que me não crerão, nem ouvirão a minha voz, porque dirão: O Senhor não te appareceu.
And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice: for they will say, The LORD has not appeared to you.
2 E o Senhor disse-lhe: Que é isso na tua mão? E elle disse: Uma vara.
And the LORD said to him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod.
3 E elle disse: Lança-a na terra. Elle a lançou na terra, e tornou-se em cobra: e Moysés fugia d'ella.
And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
4 Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Estende a tua mão, e pega-lhe pela cauda, E estendeu sua mão, e pegou-lhe pela cauda, e tornou-se em vara na sua mão
And the LORD said to Moses, Put forth your hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:
5 Para que creiam que te appareceu o Senhor, Deus de seus paes, o Deus de Abrahão, o Deus de Isaac e o Deus de Jacob.
That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.
6 E disse-lhe mais o Senhor: Mette agora a tua mão no teu seio. E, tirando-a, eis que a sua mão estava leprosa, branca como a neve.
And the LORD said furthermore to him, Put now your hand into your bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.
7 E disse: Torna a metter a tua mão no teu seio. E tornou a metter sua mão no seu seio: depois tirou-a do seu seio, e eis que se tornara como a sua outra carne.
And he said, Put your hand into your bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.
8 E acontecerá que, se elles te não crerem, nem ouvirem a voz do primeiro signal, crerão a voz do derradeiro signal;
And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe you, neither listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
9 E se acontecer que ainda não creiam a estes dois signaes, nem ouvirem a tua voz, tomarás das aguas do rio, e as derramarás na terra secca: e as aguas, que tomarás do rio, tornar-se-hão em sangue sobre a terra secca.
And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land: and the water which you take out of the river shall become blood on the dry land.
10 Então disse Moysés ao Senhor: Ah Senhor! eu não sou homem que bem falla, nem de hontem nem de antehontem, nem ainda desde que tens fallado ao teu servo; porque sou pesado de bocca, e pesado de lingua.
And Moses said to the LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since you have spoken to your servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
11 E disse-lhe o Senhor: Quem fez a bocca do homem? ou quem fez o mudo, ou o surdo, ou o que vê, ou o cego? não sou eu, o Senhor?
And the LORD said to him, Who has made man’s mouth? or who makes the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
12 Vae pois agora, e eu serei com a tua bocca, e te ensinarei o que has de fallar.
Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall say.
13 Elle porém disse: Ah Senhor! envia pela mão d'aquelle a quem tu has de enviar.
And he said, O my LORD, send, I pray you, by the hand of him whom you will send.
14 Então se accendeu a ira do Senhor contra Moysés, e disse: Não é Aarão, o levita, teu irmão? eu sei que elle fallará muito bem: e eis que elle tambem sae ao teu encontro; e, vendo-te, se alegrará em seu coração
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he comes forth to meet you: and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
15 E tu lhe fallarás, e porás as palavras na sua bocca: e eu serei com a tua bocca, e com a sua bocca, ensinando-vos o que haveis de fazer.
And you shall speak to him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do.
16 E elle fallará por ti ao povo: e aconlecerá que elle te será por bocca, e tu lhe serás por Deus.
And he shall be your spokesman to the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to you instead of a mouth, and you shall be to him instead of God.
17 Toma pois esta vara na tua mão, com que farás os signaes.
And you shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do signs.
18 Então foi-se Moysés, e voltou para Jethro seu sogro, e disse-lhe; Eu irei agora, e tornarei a meus irmãos, que estão no Egypto, para ver se ainda vivem. Disse pois Jethro a Moysés: Vae em paz.
And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said to him, Let me go, I pray you, and return to my brothers which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
19 Disse tambem o Senhor a Moysés em Midian: Vae, volta para o Egypto; porque todos os que buscavam a tua alma morreram.
And the LORD said to Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought your life.
20 Tomou pois Moysés sua mulher e seus filhos, e os levou sobre um jumento, e tornou-se á terra do Egypto; e Moysés tomou a vara de Deus na sua mão.
And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them on an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.
21 E disse o Senhor a Moysés: Quando fores tornado ao Egypto, attenta que faças diante de Pharaó todas as maravi-lhas que tenho posto na tua mão: mas eu endurecerei o seu coração, para que não deixe ir o povo
And the LORD said to Moses, When you go to return into Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in your hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
22 Então dirás a Pharaó: Assim diz o Senhor: Israel é meu filho, meu primogenito.
And you shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
23 E eu te tenho dito: Deixa ir o meu filho, para que me sirva; mas tu recusaste deixal-o ir: eis que eu matarei a teu filho, o teu primogenito.
And I say to you, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if you refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay your son, even your firstborn.
24 E aconteceu no caminho, n'uma estalagem, que o Senhor o encontrou, e o quiz matar.
And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.
25 Então Zippora tomou uma pedra aguda, e circumcidou o prepucio de seu filho, e o lançou a seus pés, e disse: Certamente me és um esposo sanguinario.
Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband are you to me.
26 E desviou-se d'elle. Então ella disse: Esposo sanguinario, por causa da circumcisão.
So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband you are, because of the circumcision.
27 Disse tambem o Senhor a Aarão: Vae ao encontro de Moysés ao deserto. E elle foi, encontrou-o no monte de Deus, e beijou-o.
And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.
28 E denunciou Moysés a Aarão todas as palavras do Senhor, que o enviara, e todos os signaes que lhe mandara.
And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
29 Então foram Moysés e Aarão, e ajuntaram todos os anciãos dos filhos de Israel.
And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:
30 E Aarão fallou todas as palavras que o Senhor fallara a Moysés, e fez os signaes perante os olhos do povo,
And Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
31 E o povo creu, e ouviram que o Senhor visitava aos filhos d'Israel, e que via a sua afflicção: e inclinaram-se, e adoraram.
And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked on their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
