Êxodo 14
1 Então falou o Senhor a Moisés, dizendo:
And the Lord spoke unto 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 unto the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pi-hachiroth, between Migdol and the sea; in front of Baal-zephon; opposite to this shall ye encamp by the sea.
3 Então faraó dirá dos filhos de Israel: Estão embaraçados na terra, o deserto os encerrou.
And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath 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 Pharaoh, that he shall follow after them; and I will get myself honor on Pharaoh, and on all his host; and 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 told to the king of Egypt that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed with respect to the people, and they said, What is this which we have done, 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, the king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went out 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 they overtook them encamping by the sea, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, beside Pi-hachiroth, before Baal-zephon.
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 nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they were greatly afraid; and the children of Israel cried out unto 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 unto Moses, Is it because there were no graves in Egypt, that thou hast taken us away to die in the wilderness? what is this which thou hast done to us, to bring 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 spoke unto thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? for it is 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 unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will do for you today; for as ye have seen the Egyptians today, ye shall not see them again any more for ever.
14 O Senhor pelejará por vós, e vos calareis.
The Lord will fight for you, and ye 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 unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto 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 do thou lift up thy staff, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it; and the children of Israel shall go through the midst of the sea on dry ground.
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 heart of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get myself 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 got myself 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, that went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud 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 came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness [to the first], but it gave light by night [to these]: and the one came not near unto 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 drove back the sea with 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 midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto 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, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen, to 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 unto the camp of the Egyptians with the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and brought into confusion 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 he took off the wheels of their chariots, and caused them to move onward with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth 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 unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea, and the waters shall return over the Egyptians, over their chariots, and over 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, when the morning appeared, to its strength; while the Egyptians were fleeing against it; and the Lord overthrew 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 waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen with all the host of Pharaoh that came after them into the sea: there remained of them not 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 walked upon dry ground in the midst of the sea; and the waters were unto them a wall 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 on that day out of the land of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon 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 that great power which the Lord had shown on the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord, and then believed in the Lord, and in Moses his servant.
