Êxodo 2
1 E foi-se um varão da casa de Levi, e casou com uma filha de Levi.
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
2 E a mulher concebeu, e pariu um filho, e, vendo que ele era formoso, escondeu-o três meses.
And the woman conceived, and bore a son; and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she 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 she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch; and she put the child therein, and laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
4 E sua irmã parou-se de longe, para saber o que lhe havia de acontecer.
And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done 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 Pharaoh came down to bathe in the river; and her maidens walked along by the river-side; and she saw the ark among the flags, and sent her handmaid to fetch it.
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 she opened it, and saw it, even the child; and behold a boy that wept. And she had compassion on him, and said: 'This is one of the Hebrews' children.'
7 Então disse sua irmã à filha de faraó: Irei eu a chamar uma ama das hebreias, que crie este menino por ti?
Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter: 'Shall I go and call thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse 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 Pharaoh's daughter said to her: 'Go.' And the maiden went and called the child's mother.
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 Pharaoh's daughter said unto her: 'Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages.' And the woman took the child, and nursed 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 the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said: 'Because I drew 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 those days, when Moses was grown up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens; and he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 E olhou a uma e a outra banda, e, vendo que ninguém ali havia, feriu ao egípcio, e escondeu-o na areia.
And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, 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 he went out the second day, and, behold, two men of the Hebrews were striving together; and he said to him that did the wrong: 'Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?'
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? thinkest thou to kill me, as thou didst kill the Egyptian?' And Moses feared, and said: 'Surely the thing is 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.
Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a 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.
Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
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 drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 E vindo elas a Reuel seu pai, ele disse: Porque hoje tomastes tão depressa?
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said: 'How is it that ye are come so soon 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 out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.'
20 E disse a suas filhas: E onde está ele? porque deixastes o homem? chamai-o para que coma pão.
And he said unto his daughters: 'And where is he? Why is it that ye have left the man? call him, 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 content to dwell with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22 A qual pariu um filho, e ele chamou o seu nome Gerson, porque disse: Peregrino fui em terra estranha.
And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said: 'I have been a stranger 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 it came to pass in the course of those many days that the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
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 groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 E atentou Deus para os filhos de Israel, e conheceu-os Deus.
And God saw the children of Israel, and God took cognizance of them.
