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 bare 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 bitumen and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she 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 far 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 wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid 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 when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe 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 to you a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?
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 maid 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 you your wages. And the women 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 she 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, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an 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 slew 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 when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smite you your 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 you a prince and a judge over us? intend you to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this 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 all of you 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 also drew water enough 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 all of you 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 bare him 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 process of time, 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 looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.
