Êxodo 7
1 Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Eis que te tenho posto por Deus sobre Pharaó, e Aarão, teu irmão, será o teu propheta.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen [carefully]. [Just like I enabled prophet to speak my messages], I will cause the king [to consider that] you are like a god, and that Aaron is like a prophet.
2 Tu fallarás tudo o que eu te mandar: e Aarão teu irmão fallará a Pharaó, que deixe ir os filhos de Israel da sua terra.
You must tell everything I command you [to tell to your older] brother Aaron, and he will tell that to the king. He must tell the king to let the Israeli people leave his land.
3 Eu, porém, endurecerei o coração de Pharaó, e multiplicarei na terra do Egypto os meus signaes e as minhas maravilhas.
But I will make the king stubborn [IDM]. As a result, even though I perform many kinds of (miracles/terrifying things) [DOU] [here] in Egypt,
4 Pharaó pois não vos ouvirá; e eu porei minha mão sobre o Egypto, e tirarei meus exercitos, meu povo, os filhos de Israel, da terra do Egypto, com grandes juizos.
the king will not pay any attention to what you say. Then I will punish [MTY] the people of Egypt [MTY] very severely [MTY], and I will lead/bring the tribes of the Israeli people out of Egypt.
5 Então os egypcios saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando estender a minha mão sobre o Egypto, e tirar os filhos de Israel do meio d'elles.
Then, when I show my great power [MTY] to the Egyptian people and bring the Israeli people out from among them, they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
6 Então fez Moysés e Aarão; como o Senhor lhes ordenara, assim fizeram.
Aaron and Moses/I did what Yahweh told them/us to do. They/We [went and spoke to the king].
7 E Moysés era da edade de oitenta annos, e Aarão da edade de oitenta e tres annos, quando fallaram a Pharaó.
At that time, Moses/I was 80 years old, and Aaron was 83 years old.
8 E o Senhor fallou a Moysés e a Aarão, dizendo:
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
9 Quando Pharaó vos fallar, dizendo: Fazei por vós algum milagre; dirás a Aarão: Toma a tua vara, e lança-a diante de Pharaó; e se tornará em serpente.
“If the king says to you, ‘Prove [that God sent] you by performing a miracle,’ then say to Aaron, ‘Throw your stick down in front of the king, in order that it may become a snake.’”
10 Então Moysés e Aarão entraram a Pharaó, e fizeram assim como o Senhor ordenara: e lançou Aarão a sua vara diante de Pharaó, e diante dos seus servos, e tornou-se em serpente.
So Aaron and Moses/I went to the king and did what Yahweh had commanded [them/us to do]. Aaron threw his stick down in front of the king and his officials, and it became a snake.
11 E Pharaó tambem chamou os sabios e encantadores: e os magos do Egypto fizeram tambem o mesmo com os seus encantamentos,
Then the king summoned his sorcerers and men who performed magic. They did the same thing, using their magic.
12 Porque cada um lançou sua vara, e tornaram-se em serpentes: mas a vara de Aarão tragou as varas d'elles.
They all threw down their sticks, and they became snakes. But Aaron’s stick, [which had become a snake], swallowed up all their sticks!
13 Porém o coração de Pharaó se endureceu, e não os ouviu, como o Senhor tinha dito
But the king continued to be stubborn [IDM], just as Yahweh had predicted, and he would not pay attention to [what Aaron and Moses/I said].
14 Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: O coração de Pharaó está aggravado: recusa deixar ir o povo.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The king is very stubborn [IDM]. He refuses to allow [my] people to go.
15 Vae pela manhã a Pharaó: eis que elle sairá ás aguas: põe-te em frente d'elle na praia do rio, e tomarás em tua mão a vara que se tornou em cobra.
So [tomorrow] morning, go to him as he is going down to the [Nile] River [to bathe]. Wait for him at the riverbank. [When he comes out of the water, show] him the stick, the one which became a snake.
16 E lhe dirás: O Senhor, o Deus dos hebreos, me tem enviado a ti, dizendo: Deixa ir o meu povo, para que me sirva no deserto; porém eis que até agora não tens ouvido.
Say to him, ‘Yahweh God, the one [we] Hebrews [worship], sent me to you to tell you to let my people go, in order that they may worship him in the desert. [We told you that], but you have not paid any attention to it.
17 Assim diz o Senhor: N'isto saberás que eu sou o Senhor: Eis que eu com esta vara, que tenho em minha mão, ferirei as aguas que estão no rio, e tornar-se-hão em sangue.
[So now] Yahweh says this: “This is the way you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do]. Watch this: I am going to strike the water that is in the Nile [River] with the stick that is in my hand. [When I do that], the water will become blood (OR, [red like] blood [MTY]).
18 E os peixes, que estão no rio, morrerão, e o rio federá; e os egypcios nausear-se-hão, bebendo a agua do rio
Then the fish in the Nile [River] will die, and the [water in] the river will stink, and the Egyptians will not be able to drink water from the Nile River.”’”
19 Disse mais o Senhor a Moysés: Dize a Aarão: Toma tu a vara, e estende a tua mão sobre as aguas do Egypto, sobre as suas correntes, sobre os seus rios, e sobre os seus tanques, e sobre todo o ajuntamento das suas aguas, para que se tornem em sangue: e haja sangue em toda a terra do Egypto, assim nos vasos de madeira como nos de pedra.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “[When you are talking to the king], say to Aaron, ‘Hold your stick out [as though you were holding it] over the water in Egypt—over the rivers, the canals, the ponds, and over the pools of water, in order that [all of it] may become [red like] blood.’ When Aaron does that, there will be blood throughout Egypt, even in wooden jars and in stone jars.”
20 E Moysés e Aarão fizeram assim como o Senhor tinha mandado: e levantou a vara, e feriu as aguas que estavam no rio, diante dos olhos de Pharaó, e diante dos olhos de seus servos; e todas as aguas do rio se tornaram em sangue.
So Aaron and Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded. As the king and his officials were watching, Aaron lifted up his stick and then struck the water in the Nile [River] with it. And all the water in the river turned [red like] blood.
21 E os peixes, que estavam no rio, morreram, e o rio fedeu, que os egypcios não podiam beber a agua do rio: e houve sangue por toda a terra do Egypto.
Then all the fish died. And the water stank, with the result that the Egyptians could not drink water from the river. Everywhere in Egypt [the water] became [red like] blood.
22 Porém os magos do Egypto tambem fizeram o mesmo com os seus encantamentos; de maneira que o coração de Pharaó se endureceu, e não os ouviu, como o Senhor tinha dito
But the men who performed magic did the same thing using their magic. So the king remained stubborn [IDM], and he would not pay attention to what Aaron and Moses/I said, just as Yahweh had predicted.
23 E virou-se Pharaó, e foi para sua casa: nem ainda n'isto poz seu coração.
The king turned and went back to his palace, and he did not think any more about it [IDM].
24 E todos os egypcios cavaram poços junto ao rio, para beberem agua; porquanto não podiam beber das aguas do rio.
The Egyptians [HYP] dug [into the ground] near the Nile [River] to get water to drink, because they could not drink the water from the river.
25 Assim se cumpriram sete dias, depois que o Senhor ferira o rio.
(One week/Seven days) passed after Yahweh caused the water in the Nile [River to become red like blood].
