Êxodo 9
1 Depois o Senhor disse a Moysés: Entra a Pharaó, e dize-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor, o Deus dos hebreos: Deixa ir o meu povo, para que me sirva.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go to the king and say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God [we] Hebrews [worship], says: “Allow my people to go, in order that they may worship me.
2 Porque se recusares de os deixar ir, e ainda por força os detiveres,
If you still keep refusing to let them go [DOU],
3 Eis que a mão do Senhor será sobre teu gado, que está no campo, sobre os cavallos, sobre os jumentos, sobre os camelos, sobre os bois, e sobre as ovelhas, com pestilencia gravissima.
I warn you that I will punish you with my power [MTY] by sending a terrible disease on all your animals—on your horses, donkeys, camels, on your cattle, and on your flocks [of sheep and goats].
4 E o Senhor fará separação entre o gado dos israelitas, e o gado dos egypcios, que nada morra de tudo o que fôr dos filhos d'Israel.
But I, Yahweh, will distinguish between [what I do to] the animals that belong to the Israeli people and [what I do to] your animals. The result will be that no animal that belongs to the Israeli people will die.”’
5 E o Senhor assignalou certo tempo, dizendo: Amanhã fará o Senhor esta coisa na terra.
[Tell him that] I have determined/decided that tomorrow is the day that I will do this in this land.”
6 E o Senhor fez esta coisa no dia seguinte, e todo o gado dos egypcios morreu: porém do gado dos filhos d'Israel não morreu nenhum.
The next day Yahweh did just what he said [that he would do]. A terrible disease afflicted all of the Egyptians’ animals, and many of them [HYP] died. But none of the Israeli people’s animals died.
7 E Pharaó enviou a ver, e eis que do gado d'Israel não morrera nenhum: porém o coração de Pharaó se aggravou, e não deixou ir o povo
The king sent [men to investigate], and they were surprised [to see] that none of the Israeli people’s animals had died. But [after they reported that to] the king, he continued to be stubborn [IDM], and he did not let the [Israeli] people go.
8 Então disse o Senhor a Moysés e a Aarão: Tomae vossos punhos cheios da cinza do forno, e Moysés a espalhe para o céu diante dos olhos de Pharaó;
Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me, “Take a few handfuls of ashes/soot from (a furnace/an oven where they burn lime), and let Moses throw them up into the air, in front of the king.
9 E tornar-se-ha em pó miudo sobre toda a terra do Egypto, e se tornará em sarna, que arrebente em ulceras nos homens e no gado, por toda a terra do Egypto.
The [ashes/soot] will spread all over the country of Egypt like fine dust. And the ashes/soot will cause boils to afflict both the Egyptian people and their animals, all over the land.”
10 E elles tomaram a cinza do forno, e pozeram-se diante de Pharaó, e Moysés a espalhou para o céu: e tornou-se em sarna, que arrebentava em ulceras nos homens e no gado;
So they/we both got some ashes/soot and [went and] stood in front of the king. Moses/I threw the ashes/soot up into the air. The ashes/soot spread all over, causing boils to afflict the [Egyptian] people and their animals. All the boils became open sores.
11 De maneira que os magos não podiam parar diante de Moysés, por causa da sarna; porque havia sarna em os magos, e em todos os egypcios.
Even the men who worked magic had boils. The result was that [they were suffering so much that] they were not able to come to Moses/me, because the men who worked magic had boils just like all [the rest of] the Egyptian people.
12 Porém o Senhor endureceu o coração de Pharaó, e não os ouviu, como o Senhor tinha dito a Moysés.
But Yahweh caused the king to [continue to] be stubborn [IDM]. He did not pay any attention to what they/we [said], just as Yahweh had told Moses/me [would happen].
13 Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Levanta-te pela manhã cedo, e põe-te diante de Pharaó, e dize-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor, o Deus dos hebreos: Deixa ir o meu povo, para que me sirva;
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Get up early [tomorrow] morning. Go and stand in front of the king and tell him that Yahweh God, the one that the Hebrew people [worship], says this: ‘Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert].
14 Porque esta vez enviarei todas as minhas pragas sobre o teu coração, e sobre os teus servos, e sobre o teu povo, para que saibas que não ha outro como Eu em toda a terra.
[If you do not let them go], this time I will [punish] with plagues [not only] your officials and the rest of your people, but I will punish you yourself [SYN], in order that you will know there is no [god] like me anywhere in the world.
15 Porque agora tenho estendido minha mão, para te ferir a ti e ao teu povo com pestilencia, e para que sejas destruido da terra;
By this time I could have used my power [MTY] to strike you and your people with terrible diseases that would have wiped you all from the earth.
16 Mas devéras para isto te levantei, para mostrar minha potencia em ti, e para que o meu nome seja annunciado em toda a terra.
But I have let you live. The reason I have let you live is to show you my power, with the result that [people] all over the earth [HYP] will know how great I [MTY] am.
17 Tu ainda te levantas contra o meu povo, para não os deixar ir?
You are still acting proudly and refusing to let my people go.
18 Eis que ámanhã por este tempo farei chover saraiva mui grave, qual nunca houve no Egypto, desde o dia em que foi fundado até agora.
So listen [to this]: About this time tomorrow I will cause very heavy hail to fall [in Egypt]. From the time Egypt first became [a country], there has never been a hailstorm [as bad as this one will be].
19 Agora pois envia, recolhe o teu gado, e tudo o que tens no campo; todo o homem e animal, que fôr achado no campo, e não fôr recolhido á casa, a saraiva cairá sobre elles, e morrerão.
So you should send [a message to everyone] to put their cattle, and everything else that they own that is [out] in the fields, under shelters. The hail will fall on every person and every animal that is out in the fields and that is not put under a shelter, and they will all die.’” [So Moses/I did what Yahweh said].
20 Quem dos servos de Pharaó temia a palavra do Senhor, fez fugir os seus servos e o seu gado para as casas;
Some of the king’s officials who heard what Yahweh had said became very afraid. So they put all their animals and their slaves under shelters.
21 Mas aquelle que não tinha applicado a palavra do Senhor ao seu coração, deixou os seus servos e o seu gado no campo.
But those who did not pay any attention to what Yahweh had said left their slaves and their animals in the fields.
22 Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Estende a tua mão para o céu, e haverá saraiva em toda a terra do Egypto, sobre os homens e sobre o gado, e sobre toda a herva do campo na terra de Egypto.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Raise your hand up toward the sky, in order that hail will fall all over the land of Egypt—on the people and on their animals and on all the plants in the fields.”
23 E Moysés estendeu a sua vara para o céu, e o Senhor deu trovões e saraiva, e fogo corria pela terra; e o Senhor fez chover saraiva sobre a terra do Egypto.
So Moses/I lifted his/my stick up toward the sky. And Yahweh sent down hail, all over the land of Egypt. There was also thunder and lightning.
24 E havia saraiva, e fogo misturado entre a saraiva, mui grave, qual nunca houve em toda a terra do Egypto, desde que veiu a ser uma nação.
While very heavy hail was falling, there was thunder, and lightning struck the ground. There had never been a hailstorm like that since Egypt first became a country.
25 E a saraiva feriu, em toda a terra do Egypto, tudo quanto havia no campo, desde os homens até aos animaes: tambem a saraiva feriu toda a herva do campo, e quebrou todas as arvores do campo.
The hail struck everything that was in the fields all over Egypt—every person and every animal. The hail destroyed the plants in the fields and stripped [the leaves off] the trees.
26 Sómente na terra de Goshen, onde estavam, os filhos de Israel, não havia saraiva.
Only in the Goshen region, where the Israeli people were [living], was there no hail.
27 Então Pharaó enviou para chamar a Moysés e a Aarão, e disse-lhes: Esta vez pequei; o Senhor é justo, mas eu e o meu povo impios.
Then the king sent [someone] to summon Aaron and Moses/me. [When they/we came to the king], he said to them/us, “This time [I admit that] I have sinned. What Yahweh [has done] is right, and what I and my people [have done] is wrong.
28 Orae ao Senhor (pois que basta) para que não haja mais trovões de Deus nem saraiva; e eu vos deixarei ir, e não ficareis mais aqui.
(Pray to/Plead with) Yahweh [to cause it to stop]! [We] cannot [endure any more] of this thunder and hail! I will let your people go; they do not have to stay [here in Egypt] any longer.”
29 Então lhe disse Moysés: Em saindo da cidade estenderei minhas mãos ao Senhor: os trovões cessarão, e não haverá mais saraiva; para que saibas que a terra é do Senhor.
Moses/I replied, “As soon as I go out of this city, I will lift up my hands [and pray] to Yahweh. Then the thunder will cease, and no more hail [will fall]. [This will happen] in order that you will know that Yahweh, [not your gods], controls everything [that happens] on the earth.
30 Todavia, quanto a ti e aos teus servos, eu sei que ainda não temereis diante do Senhor Deus.
But as for you and your officials, I know that you do not yet fear Yahweh God.”
31 E o linho e a cevada foram feridos, porque a cevada já estava na espiga, e o linho na cana,
When the hail fell, the flax was ruined because the buds were forming, and the barley was ruined because its grain was ripe.
32 Mas o trigo e o centeio não foram feridos, porque estavam cobertos.
But none of the wheat crops was ruined, because their shoots were still very small.
33 Saiu pois Moysés de Pharaó, da cidade, e estendeu as suas mãos ao Senhor: e cessaram os trovões e a saraiva, e a chuva não caiu mais sobre a terra.
So Moses/I left the king and went outside the city. He/I lifted up his/my hands toward Yahweh [and prayed]. Then the thunder and the hail stopped, and the rain also stopped falling on the land [of Egypt].
34 Vendo Pharaó que cessou a chuva, e a saraiva, e os trovões, continuou em peccar: e aggravou o seu coração, elle e os seus servos.
But when the king saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had stopped, he sinned again. He and his officials continued to be stubborn [IDM].
35 Assim o coração de Pharaó se endureceu, e não deixou ir os filhos de Israel, como o Senhor tinha dito por Moysés.
So, just as Yahweh had predicted by what he told Moses/me, the king did not allow the Israeli people to leave.
