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 hearken unto my voice; for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared unto thee.
2 E o Senhor disse-lhe: Que é isso na tua mão? E elle disse: Uma vara.
And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thy hand? and he said, A staff.
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 unto Moses, Put forth thy hand, and grasp it by the tail; and he put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a staff 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.
In order that they may believe that there hath appeared unto thee the Everlasting One, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
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 farthermore unto him, Do put thy hand into thy bosom: and he put his hand into his bosom; and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, white 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 thy hand again into thy bosom: and he put his hand again into his bosom; and when he pulled it out of his bosom, 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 thee, neither hearken 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, and will not hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou shalt take out of the river shall become blood upon 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 unto the Lord, Pardon, O Lord, I am not a man of words, neither yesterday, nor the day before, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant; for I am heavy of speech, and heavy of 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 unto him, Who hath given a mouth to man? or who maketh him dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? is it 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 thy mouth, and I will teach thee what thou shalt speak.
13 Elle porém disse: Ah Senhor! envia pela mão d'aquelle a quem tu has de enviar.
And he said, Pardon, O Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wouldst 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 there not Aaron, thy brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well; and also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee; and when he seeth thee, 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 thou shalt speak unto him, and put the words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and I will teach you what ye 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 speak for thee unto the people; and he shall be, yea he shall be to thee as a mouth, and thou shalt be to him as a God.
17 Toma pois esta vara na tua mão, com que farás os signaes.
And this staff shalt thou take in thy hand, wherewith thou shalt do the 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 Jether his father-in-law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren that are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive; and Jithro 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 unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt; for all the men are dead who sought thy 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 upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt; and Moses took the staff 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 unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, regard well all the wonders which I have put in thy hand, and do them before Pharaoh; but I will harden his heart, and he will not let the people go.
22 Então dirás a Pharaó: Assim diz o Senhor: Israel é meu filho, meu primogenito.
And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus hath said the Lord, My son, my first-born, is Israel.
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 said unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me; and thou refusest to let him go; so, behold, I will slay thy son, thy first-born.
24 E aconteceu no caminho, n'uma estalagem, que o Senhor o encontrou, e o quiz matar.
And as he was on the journey in the inn, 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 took Zipporah a sharp instrument, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody relative art thou to me.
26 E desviou-se d'elle. Então ella disse: Esposo sanguinario, por causa da circumcisão.
And then he withdrew from him; when she said, A bloody relative, but only in respect 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 to meet Moses, into the wilderness; and he went and met him by 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 wherewith he 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 assembled 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 unto Moses; and he did the signs before the eyes 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 upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
