Êxodo 8

1 Então o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Entra à presença de Faraó, e dize-lhe: O SENHOR disse assim: Deixa meu povo ir, para que me sirvam.

The Lord also said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh, and you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord: Release my people in order to sacrifice to me.

2 E se não o quiseres deixar ir, eis que ferirei com rãs todo os teu território;

But if you are not willing to release them, behold, I will strike all your coasts with frogs.

3 E o rio criará rãs, que subirão, e entrarão em tua casa, e no teu quarto, e sobre tua cama, e nas casas de teus servos, e em teu povo, e em teus fornos, e em tuas amassadeiras;

And the river will seethe with frogs, which will go up and enter into your house, and your bedroom, and upon your bed, and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens, and into the remains of your foods.

4 E as rãs subirão sobre ti, e sobre teu povo, e sobre todos os teus servos.

And to you, and to your people, and to all your servants, the frogs will enter.’”

5 E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Dize a Arão: Estende tua mão com tua vara sobre os rios, ribeiros, e tanques, para que faça vir rãs sobre a terra do Egito.

And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Extend your hand over the rivers, and also over the streams and the marshes, and bring forth frogs over the land of Egypt.’”

6 Então Arão estendeu sua mão sobre as águas do Egito, e subiram rãs que cobriram a terra do Egito.

And Aaron extended his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.

7 E os encantadores fizeram o mesmo com seus encantamentos, e fizeram vir rãs sobre a terra do Egito.

Then the sorcerers also, by their incantations, did similarly, and they brought forth frogs upon the land of Egypt.

8 Então Faraó chamou Moisés e Arão, e disse-lhes: Orai ao SENHOR que tire as rãs de mim e de meu povo; e deixarei ir ao povo, para que sacrifique ao SENHOR.

But Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “Pray to the Lord, so as to take away the frogs from me and from my people. And I will release the people, so as to sacrifice to the Lord.”

9 E disse Moisés a Faraó: Tem a honra em meu lugar [de dizer] quando orarei por ti, e por teus servos, e por teu povo, para que as rãs sejam tiradas de ti, e de tuas casas, e que somente se restem no rio.

And Moses said to Pharaoh: “Appoint for me a time, when I should petition on behalf of you, and your servants, and your people, so that the frogs may be driven away from you, and from your house, and from your servants, and from your people, and so that they may remain only in the river.”

10 E ele disse: Amanhã. E Moisés respondeu: Será feito conforme tua palavra, para que conheças que não há ninguém como o SENHOR nosso Deus;

And he responded, “Tomorrow.” Then he said, “I will act according to your word, so that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God.

11 E as rãs se irão de ti, e de tuas casas, e de teus servos, e de teu povo, e somente se ficarão no rio.

And the frogs will withdraw from you, and from your house, and from your servants, and from your people. And they will remain only in the river.”

12 Então saíram Moisés e Arão da presença de Faraó, e clamou Moisés ao SENHOR acerca das rãs que havia posto a Faraó.

And Moses and Aaron departed from Pharaoh. And Moses cried out to the Lord on behalf of the promise that he had made to Pharaoh concerning the frogs.

13 E o SENHOR fez conforme a palavra de Moisés, e morreram as rãs das casas, dos pátios, e dos campos.

And the Lord acted according to the word of Moses. And the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields.

14 E as juntaram em amontoados, e faziam cheirar mal a terra.

And they gathered them together into immense piles, and the land was polluted.

15 E vendo Faraó que lhe haviam dado repouso, agravou seu coração, e não os escutou; como o SENHOR o havia dito.

Then Pharaoh, seeing that relief had been provided, hardened his own heart, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.

16 Então o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Dize a Arão: Estende a tua vara, e fere o pó da terra, para que se voltem piolhos por toda a terra do Egito.

And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Extend your staff and strike the dust of the earth. And let there be stinging insects throughout the entire the land of Egypt.’”

17 E eles o fizeram assim; e Arão estendeu sua mão com sua vara, e feriu o pó da terra, o qual se tornou piolhos, tanto nos homens como nos animais; todo o pó da terra se tornou piolhos em toda a terra do Egito.

And they did so. And Aaron extended his hand, holding the staff, and he struck the dust of the earth, and there came stinging insects upon men and upon beasts. All the dust of the earth was turned into stinging insects through all the land of Egypt.

18 E os encantadores tentaram fizeram assim também, para tirar piolhos com seus encantamentos; mas não puderam. E havia piolhos tanto nos homens como nos animais.

And the sorcerers, with their incantations, did similarly, in order to bring forth stinging insects, but they were not able. And there were stinging insects, as much on men as on beasts.

19 Então os magos disseram a Faraó: Dedo de Deus é este. Mas o coração de Faraó se endureceu, e não os escutou; como o SENHOR o havia dito.

And the sorcerers said to Pharaoh: “This is the finger of God.” And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.

20 E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Levanta-te de manhã e põe-te diante de Faraó, eis que ele estará saindo às águas; e dize-lhe: o SENHOR disse assim: Deixa meu povo ir, para que me sirva.

The Lord also said to Moses: “Arise at first light, and stand in the sight of Pharaoh, for he will go out to the waters. And you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord: Release my people to sacrifice to me.

21 Porque se não deixares meu povo ir, eis que enviarei sobre ti, e sobre teus servos, e sobre teu povo, e sobre tuas casas toda variedade de moscas; e as casas dos egípcios se encherão de toda variedade de moscas, e também a terra onde eles estiverem.

But if you will not release them, behold, I will send upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and into your houses, diverse kinds of flies. And the houses of the Egyptians will be filled with diverse kinds of flies, as well as the whole land in which they will be.

22 E naquele dia separarei a terra de Gósen, na qual meu povo habita, para que nenhuma variedade de moscas haja nela; a fim de que saibas que eu sou o SENHOR no meio da terra.

And in that day, I will cause a miracle in the land of Goshen, where my people are, so that flies will not be there. And you will know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.

23 E eu porei remissão entre meu povo e o teu. Amanhã será este sinal.

And I will set a division between my people and your people. Tomorrow this sign will be.’”

24 E o SENHOR o fez assim: veio toda variedade de moscas incômodas sobre a casa de Faraó, e sobre as casas de seus servos, e sobre toda a terra do Egito; e a terra foi contaminada por causa delas.

And the Lord did so. And there came very grievous flies into the houses of Pharaoh and of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt. And the land was polluted, in this way, by the flies.

25 Então Faraó chamou a Moisés e a Arão, e disse-lhes: Andai, sacrificai a vosso Deus nesta terra.

And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them, “Go and sacrifice to your God in this land.”

26 E Moisés respondeu: Não convém que façamos assim, porque sacrificaríamos ao SENHOR nosso Deus a abominação dos egípcios. Eis que, se sacrificássemos a abominação dos egípcios diante deles, não nos apedrejariam?

And Moses said: “It cannot be so. For we will immolate the abominations of the Egyptians to the Lord our God. For if we slaughter those things which the Egyptians worship, in their presence, they will stone us.

27 Caminho de três dias iremos pelo deserto, e sacrificaremos ao SENHOR nosso Deus, como ele nos dirá.

We will sojourn three days’ journey into the wilderness. And we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, just as he has instructed us.”

28 E disse Faraó: Eu vos deixarei ir para que sacrifiqueis ao SENHOR vosso Deus no deserto, contanto que não vades mais longe; orai por mim.

And Pharaoh said: “I will release you in order to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the desert. Yet you may only go so far. Petition for me.”

29 E respondeu Moisés: Eis que, quando eu sair de tua presença, rogarei ao SENHOR que as diversas variedades de moscas se afastem de Faraó, e de seus servos, e de seu povo amanhã; contanto que Faraó não falte mais, não deixando o povo ir sacrificar ao SENHOR.

And Moses said: “After departing from you, I will pray to the Lord. And the flies will withdraw from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow. Yet do not be willing to deceive any longer, so that you would not release the people to sacrifice to the Lord.”

30 Então Moisés saiu da presença de Faraó, e orou ao SENHOR.

And Moses, departing from Pharaoh, prayed to the Lord.

31 E o SENHOR fez conforme a palavra de Moisés; e tirou todas aquelas moscas de Faraó, e de seus servos, e de seu povo, sem que restasse uma.

And he acted according to his word. And he took away the flies from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people. There was not even one left behind.

32 Mas Faraó agravou ainda esta vez seu coração, e não deixou o povo ir.

And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, so that, even at this turn, he would not release the people.
