Êxodo 14
1 Então falou o Senhor a Moisés, dizendo:
Now 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 back and camp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall camp opposite it by the sea.
3 Então faraó dirá dos filhos de Israel: Estão embaraçados na terra, o deserto os encerrou.
Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, 'They are wandering in the land. The wilderness has boxed 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, and he will pursue them. And I will gain glory because of Pharaoh and because of all his army, 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 when the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people, and they said, "What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?"
6 E aprontou o seu carro, e tomou consigo o seu povo;
Then he made ready his chariot, and took his army 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 select chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and officers over all 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 were going out triumphantly.
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, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, 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.
When Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and look, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they were very afraid. So 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, "Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us by bringing 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.
Isn't this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, 'Leave us alone so that we may serve the Egyptians?' For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to 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:
But Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid, stand still, and see the salvation of God, which he will work for you today, for the Egyptians you see today, you will never, ever see again.
14 O Senhor pelejará por vós, e vos calareis.
The LORD will fight for you, and you must be still."
15 Então disse o Senhor a Moisés: Porque clamas a mim? dize aos filhos de Israel que marchem.
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me? Tell the children of Israel to 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.
And as for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the children of Israel will 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 as for me, look, I am going to harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them, and I will receive glory over Pharaoh and all his army, his chariots and his horsemen.
18 E os egípcios saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando for glorificado em faraó, nos seus carros e nos seus cavaleiros.
Then the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I receive glory over Pharaoh, his chariots and 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 who was going in front of the camp of Israel moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from in front of 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.
So it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness and it lit up the night so that the one did not come near the other all 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.
Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD pushed the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea into dry land, so 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.
Then the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right 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 into the midst of the sea, all of 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 happened, in the morning watch, that the LORD looked down on the Egyptian camp through the pillar of fire and cloud and threw the camp into confusion.
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 bound their chariot wheels so that they drove them with difficulty. And the Egyptians said, "Let's flee from before Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egypt."
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.
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, so that the waters may flow back 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
So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak. Now the Egyptians were trying to escape from it, but 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.
Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea. None of them survived.
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 ground in the midst 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 from the power of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
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.
When Israel saw the great power which the LORD used against the Egyptians, then the people feared the LORD, and they believed God and his servant Moses.
