< Êxodo 14 >
1 Então falou o Senhor a Moisés, dizendo:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Fala aos filhos de Israel que tornem, e que se acampem diante de Pi-hahiroth, entre Migdol e o mar, diante de Baal-zephon: em frente dele assentareis o campo junto ao mar.
Speak to the children of Israel, and let them turn and encamp before the village, between Magdol and the sea, opposite Beel-sepphon: before them shall you encamp by the sea.
3 Então faraó dirá dos filhos de Israel: Estão embaraçados na terra, o deserto os encerrou.
And Pharao will say to his people, As for these children of Israel, they are wandering in the land, for the wilderness has shut them in.
4 E eu endurecerei o coração de faraó, para que os persiga, e serei glorificado em faraó em todo o seu exército, e saberão os egípcios que eu sou o Senhor. E eles fizeram assim.
And I will harden the heart of Pharao, and he shall pursue after them; and I will be glorified in Pharao, and in all his host, and all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord. And they did so.
5 Sendo pois anunciado ao rei do Egito que o povo fugia, mudou-se o coração de faraó e dos seus servos contra o povo, e disseram: Porque fizemos isso, havendo deixado ir a Israel, que nos não sirva?
And it was reported to the king of the Egyptians that the people had fled: and the heart of Pharao was turned, and that of his servants against the people; and they said, What is this that we have done, to let the children of Israel go, so that they should not serve us?
6 E aprontou o seu carro, e tomou consigo o seu povo;
So Pharao yoked his chariots, and led off all his people with himself:
7 E tomou seiscentos carros escolhidos, e todos os carros do Egito, e os capitães sobre eles todos.
having also taken six hundred chosen chariots, and all the cavalry of the Egyptians, and rulers over all.
8 Porque o Senhor endureceu o coração de faraó, rei do Egito, que perseguisse aos filhos de Israel: porém os filhos de Israel sairam com alta mão
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao king of Egypt, and of his servants, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went forth with a high hand.
9 E os egípcios perseguiram-nos, todos os cavalos e carros de faraó, e os seus cavaleiros, e o seu exército, e alcançaram-nos acampados junto ao mar, perto de Pi-hahiroth, diante de Baal-zephon.
And the Egyptians pursued after them, and found them encamped by the sea; and all the cavalry and the chariots of Pharao, and the horsemen, and his host [were] before the village, over against Beel-sepphon.
10 E, chegando faraó, os filhos de Israel levantaram seus olhos, e eis que os egípcios vinham atráz deles, e temeram muito; então os filhos de Israel clamaram ao Senhor.
And Pharao approached, and the children of Israel having looked up, saw, and the Egyptians encamped behind them: and they were very greatly terrified, and the children of Israel cried to the Lord;
11 E disseram a Moisés: Não havia sepulcros no Egito, que nos tiraste de lá, para que morramos neste deserto? porque nos fizeste isto, que nos tens tirado do Egito?
and said to Moses, Because there were no graves in the land of Egypt, have you brought us forth to kill [us] in the wilderness? What is this that you have done to us, having brought us out of Egypt?
12 Não é esta a palavra que te temos falado no Egito, dizendo: Deixa-nos, que sirvamos aos egípcios? pois que melhor nos fôra servir aos egípcios, do que morrermos no deserto.
Is not this the word which we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians? for it is better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in this wilderness.
13 Moisés, porém, disse ao povo: Não temais; estai quietos, e vede o livramento do Senhor, que hoje vos fará: porque aos egípcios, que hoje vistes, nunca mais vereis para sempre:
And Moses said to the people, Be of good courage: stand and see the salvation which is from the Lord, which he will work for us this day; for as you have seen the Egyptians today, you shall see them again no more for ever.
14 O Senhor pelejará por vós, e vos calareis.
The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.
15 Então disse o Senhor a Moisés: Porque clamas a mim? dize aos filhos de Israel que marchem.
and the Lord said to Moses, Why cry you to me? speak to the children of Israel, and let them proceed.
16 E tu, levanta a tua vara, e estende a tua mão sobre o mar, e fende-o, para que os filhos de Israel passem pelo meio do mar em seco.
And do you lift up your rod, and stretch forth your hand over the sea, and divide it, and let the children of Israel enter into the midst of the sea on the dry land.
17 E eu, eis que endurecerei o coração dos egípcios, para que entrem nele atráz deles; e eu serei glorificado em faraó, e em todo o seu exército, nos seus carros e nos seus cavaleiros,
And behold! I will harden the heart of Pharao and of all the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them; and I will be glorified upon Pharao, and on all his host, and on his chariots and his horses.
18 E os egípcios saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando for glorificado em faraó, nos seus carros e nos seus cavaleiros.
And all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I am glorified upon Pharao and upon his chariots and his horses.
19 E o anjo de Deus, que ia diante do exército de Israel, se retirou, e ia detraz deles: também a coluna de nuvem se retirou de diante deles, e se pôs atráz deles,
And the angel of God that went before the camp of the children of Israel removed and went behind, and the pillar of the cloud also removed from before them and stood behind them.
20 E ia entre o campo dos egípcios e o campo de Israel: e a nuvem era escuridade para aqueles, e para estes esclarecia a noite: de maneira que em toda a noite não chegou um ao outro.
And it went between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and stood; and there was darkness and blackness; and the night passed, and they came not near to one another during the whole night.
21 Então Moisés estendeu a sua mão sobre o mar, e o Senhor fez retirar o mar por um forte vento oriental toda aquela noite; e o mar tornou-se em seco, e as águas foram partidas.
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the Lord carried back the sea with a strong south wind all the night, and made the sea dry, and the water was divided.
22 E os filhos de Israel entraram pelo meio do mar em seco: e as águas foram-lhes como muro à sua direita e à sua esquerda.
And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the water of it was a wall on the right hand and a wall on the left.
23 E os egípcios seguiram-nos, e entraram atráz deles todos os cavalos de faraó, os seus carros e os seus cavaleiros, até ao meio do mar.
And the Egyptians pursued them and went in after them, and every horse of Pharao, and his chariots, and his horsemen, into the midst of the sea.
24 E aconteceu que, na vigília daquela manhã, o Senhor, na coluna do fogo e da nuvem, viu o campo dos egípcios: e alvorotou o campo dos egípcios,
And it came to pass in the morning watch that the Lord looked forth on the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and troubled the camp of the Egyptians,
25 E tirou-lhes as rodas dos seus carros, e fê-los andar dificultosamente. Então disseram os egípcios: Fujamos da face de Israel, porque o Senhor por eles peleja contra os egípcios.
and bound the axle-trees of their chariots, and caused them to go with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.
26 E disse o Senhor a Moisés: Estende a tua mão sobre o mar, para que as águas tornem sobre os egípcios, sobre os seus carros e sobre os seus cavaleiros.
And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth tine hand over the sea, and let the water be turned back to its place, and let it cover the Egyptians [coming] both upon the chariots and the riders.
27 Então Moisés estendeu a sua mão sobre o mar, e o mar tornou-se em sua força ao amanhecer, e os egípcios fugiram ao seu encontro: e o Senhor derribou os egípcios no meio do mar
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the water returned to its place towards day; and the Egyptians fled from the water, and the Lord shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 Porque as águas, tornando, cobriram os carros e os cavaleiros de todo o exército de faraó, que os haviam seguido no mar: nem ainda um deles ficou.
and the water returned and covered the chariots and the riders, and all the forces of Pharao, who entered after them into the sea: and there was not left of them even one.
29 Mas os filhos de Israel foram pelo meio do mar seco: e as águas foram-lhes como muro à sua mão direita e à sua esquerda.
But the children of Israel went along dry land in the midst of the sea, and the water was to them a wall on the right hand, and a wall on the left.
30 Assim o Senhor salvou Israel naquele dia da mão dos egípcios: e Israel viu os egípcios mortos na praia do mar.
So the Lord delivered Israel in that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead by the shore of the sea.
31 E viu Israel a grande mão que o Senhor mostrara aos egípcios; e temeu o povo ao Senhor, e creram no Senhor e em Moisés, seu servo.
And Israel saw the mighty hand, the [things] which the Lord did to the Egyptians; and the people feared the Lord, and they believed God and Moses his servant.
