Êxodo 2
1 E foi-se um varão da casa de Levi, e casou com uma filha de Levi.
And there was a certain man of the tribe of Levi, who took to wife one of the daughters of Levi.
2 E a mulher concebeu, e pariu um filho, e, vendo que ele era formoso, escondeu-o três meses.
And she conceived, and bore a male child; and having seen that he was fair, they hid him three months.
3 Não podendo, porém, mais escondê-lo tomou uma arca de juncos, e a betumou com betume e pez; e, pondo nela o menino, a pôs nos juncos à borda do rio
And when they could no longer hide him, his mother took for him an ark, and besmeared it with bitumen, and cast the child into it, and put it in the ooze by the river.
4 E sua irmã parou-se de longe, para saber o que lhe havia de acontecer.
And his sister was watching from a distance, to learn what would happen to him.
5 E a filha de faraó desceu a lavar-se no rio, e as suas donzelas passeavam, pela borda do rio: e ela viu a arca no meio dos juncos, e enviou a sua criada, e a tomou.
And the daughter of Pharao came down to the river to bathe; and her maids walked by the river's side, and having seen the ark in the ooze, she sent her maid, and took it up.
6 E abrindo-a, viu ao menino, e eis que o menino chorava; e moveu-se de compaixão dele, e disse: Dos meninos dos hebreus é este.
And having opened it, she sees the babe weeping in the ark: and the daughter of Pharao had compassion on it, and said, This [is one] of the Hebrew's children.
7 Então disse sua irmã à filha de faraó: Irei eu a chamar uma ama das hebreias, que crie este menino por ti?
And his sister said to the daughter of Pharao, Wilt thou that I call to thee a nurse of the Hebrews, and shall she suckle the child for thee?
8 E a filha de faraó disse-lhe: vai. E foi-se a moça, e chamou a mãe do menino.
And the daughter of Pharao said, Go: and the young woman went, and called the mother of the child.
9 Então lhe disse a filha de faraó: Leva este menino, e cria-mo: eu te darei teu salário. E a mulher tomou o menino, e criou-o.
And the daughter of Pharao said to her, Take care of this child, and suckled it for me, and I will give thee the wages; and the woman took the child, and suckled it.
10 E, sendo o menino já grande, ela o trouxe à filha de faraó, a qual o adotou; e chamou o seu nome Moisés, e disse: Porque das águas o tenho tirado.
And when the boy was grown, she brought him to the daughter of Pharao, and he became her son; and she called his name, Moses, saying, I took him out of the water.
11 E aconteceu naqueles dias que, sendo Moisés já grande, saiu a seus irmãos, e atentou nas suas cargas: e viu que um varão egípcio feria a um hebreu, varão de seus irmãos.
And it came to pass in that length of time, that Moses having grown, went out to his brethren the sons of Israel: and having noticed their distress, he sees an Egyptian smiting a certain Hebrew of his brethren the children of Israel.
12 E olhou a uma e a outra banda, e, vendo que ninguém ali havia, feriu ao egípcio, e escondeu-o na areia.
And having looked round this way and that way, he sees no one; and he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 E tornou a sair no dia seguinte, e eis que dois varões hebreus contendiam; e disse ao injusto: Porque feres a teu próximo?
And having gone out the second day he sees two Hebrew men fighting; and he says to the injurer, Wherefore smitest thou thy neighbour?
14 O qual disse: Quem te tem posto a ti por maioral e juiz sobre nós? pensas matar-me, como mataste o egípcio? Então temeu Moisés, e disse: Certamente este negócio foi descoberto.
And he said, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? wilt thou slay me as thou yesterday slewest the Egyptian? Then Moses was alarmed, and said, If [it be] thus, this matter has become known.
15 Ouvindo pois faraó este negócio, procurou matar a Moisés: mas Moisés fugiu de diante da face de faraó, e habitou na terra de Midian, e assentou-se junto a um poço.
And Pharao heard this matter, and sought to slay Moses; and Moses departed from the presence of Pharao, and dwelt in the land of Madiam; and having come into the land of Madiam, he sat on the well.
16 E o sacerdote de Midian tinha sete filhas, as quais vieram a tirar água, e encheram as pias, para dar de beber ao rebanho de seu pai.
And the priest of Madiam had seven daughters, feeding the flock of their father Jothor; and they came and drew water until they filled their pitchers, to water the flock of their father Jothor.
17 Então vieram os pastores, e lançaram-nas dali; Moisés porém levantou-se, e defendeu-as, e abeberou-lhes o rebanho.
And the shepherds came, and were driving them away; and Moses rose up and rescued them, and drew water for them, and watered their sheep.
18 E vindo elas a Reuel seu pai, ele disse: Porque hoje tomastes tão depressa?
And they came to Raguel their father; and he said to them, Why have ye come so quickly to-day?
19 E elas disseram: Um homem egípcio nos livrou da mão dos pastores; e também nos tirou água em abundância, e abeberou o rebanho.
And they said, An Egyptian delivered us from the shepherds, and drew water for us and watered our sheep.
20 E disse a suas filhas: E onde está ele? porque deixastes o homem? chamai-o para que coma pão.
And he said to his daughters, And where is he? and why have ye left the man? call him therefore, that he may eat bread.
21 E Moisés consentiu em morar com aquele homem: e ele deu a Moisés sua filha Zippora,
And Moses was established with the man, and he gave Sepphora his daughter to Moses to wife.
22 A qual pariu um filho, e ele chamou o seu nome Gerson, porque disse: Peregrino fui em terra estranha.
And the woman conceived and bore a son, and Moses called his name Gersam, saying, I am a sojourner in a strange land.
23 E aconteceu depois de muitos destes dias, morrendo o rei do Egito, que os filhos de Israel suspiraram por causa da servidão, e clamaram: e o seu clamor subiu a Deus por causa de sua servidão.
And in those days after a length of time, the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel groaned because of their tasks, and cried, and their cry because of their tasks went up to God.
24 E ouviu Deus o seu gemido, e lembrou-se Deus do seu concerto com Abraão, com Isaac, e com Jacob;
And God heard their groanings, and God remembered his covenant made with Abraam and Isaac and Jacob.
25 E atentou Deus para os filhos de Israel, e conheceu-os Deus.
And God looked upon the children of Israel, and was made known to them.
