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, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall you encamp by the sea.
3 Então faraó dirá dos filhos de Israel: Estão embaraçados na terra, o deserto os encerrou.
For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, 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 Pharaoh’s heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honored on Pharaoh, and on all his host; that the Egyptians may 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 told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
6 E aprontou o seu carro, e tomou consigo o seu povo;
And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
7 E tomou seiscentos carros escolhidos, e todos os carros do Egito, e os capitães sobre eles todos.
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
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 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an 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.
But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
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 when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out 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 they said to Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? why have you dealt thus with us, to carry us forth 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 that we did tell you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the 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, Fear you not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show to you to day: for the Egyptians whom you have seen to day, 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, that they go forward:
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.
But lift you up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the middle of the sea.
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 I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honor on Pharaoh, and on all his host, on his chariots, and on his horsemen.
18 E os egípcios saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando for glorificado em faraó, nos seus carros e nos seus cavaleiros.
And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honor on Pharaoh, on his chariots, and on his horsemen.
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, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, 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 came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the 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 out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were 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 middle of the sea on the dry ground: and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their 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, and went in after them to the middle of the sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
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, that in the morning watch the LORD looked to the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host 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 took off their chariot wheels, that they drove them heavily: so that 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 out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.
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 sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the middle 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 waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
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 walked on dry land in the middle of the sea; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.
30 Assim o Senhor salvou Israel naquele dia da mão dos egípcios: e Israel viu os egípcios mortos na praia do mar.
Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the sea shore.
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 that great work which the LORD did on the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.
