< 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.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go back to the king and tell him, ‘Yahweh says that you must let my people go, in order that they can worship me [in the desert].
2 E se não o quiseres deixar ir, eis que ferirei com rãs todo os teu território;
But if you refuse to let them go, I will punish you by sending frogs to cover your country.
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;
[Not only] will the Nile [River] be full of frogs, [but] the frogs will come up [out of the river] into your palace. They will come into your bedroom and onto your bed. They will be in the houses of your officials and all [the rest of] your people. They will even get into your ovens and your pans for mixing the materials for baking bread.
4 E as rãs subirão sobre ti, e sobre teu povo, e sobre todos os teus servos.
The frogs will jump up on you and your officials and [all the rest of] your people.’”
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.
Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me, “Say this to Aaron: ‘Hold your stick in your hand and stretch it out [as though you were stretching it] over the river, the canals, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up [from all this water and] cover the land of Egypt.’”
6 Então Arão estendeu sua mão sobre as águas do Egito, e subiram rãs que cobriram a terra do Egito.
[After Moses/I told that to] Aaron, he stretched out his hand [as though he were stretching it] over all the water in Egypt. And the frogs came up [from the water and] covered Egypt.
7 E os encantadores fizeram o mesmo com seus encantamentos, e fizeram vir rãs sobre a terra do Egito.
But the men who performed magic did the same thing, and they caused [more] frogs to come up [from the water onto the land].
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.
Then the king summoned Moses/me and said, “Ask Yahweh to take away these frogs from me and my people. After that happens, I will allow your people to go, in order that they can offer sacrifices to Yahweh.”
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.
Moses/I said to the king, “I will be glad to pray for you and for your officials and for [the rest of] your people. [I will ask Yahweh] to get rid of the frogs from all your houses. The only frogs left will be [those] in the Nile [River]. Just tell me when I should pray.”
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;
He replied, “Tomorrow.” So Moses/I said, “[I will do] what you say, and then you will know that Yahweh God, the one we [worship, is the only true god], and that there is no other god like him.
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.
The frogs will leave you and your officials and all [the rest of] your people. The only ones left will be in the Nile [River].”
12 Então saíram Moisés e Arão da presença de Faraó, e clamou Moisés ao SENHOR acerca das rãs que havia posto a Faraó.
Aaron and Moses/I left the king. Then Moses/I prayed to Yahweh, [asking him to take away] all the frogs he had [brought to the king’s land].
13 E o SENHOR fez conforme a palavra de Moisés, e morreram as rãs das casas, dos pátios, e dos campos.
And Yahweh did just what Moses/I [asked him to do]. As a result, all the frogs in the houses, in their courtyards, and in the fields died.
14 E as juntaram em amontoados, e faziam cheirar mal a terra.
The people gathered together all the dead frogs into big piles, and the land stank [from the smell].
15 E vendo Faraó que lhe haviam dado repouso, agravou seu coração, e não os escutou; como o SENHOR o havia dito.
But when the king saw that [the problem] was ended, he became stubborn [IDM] [again]. And just as Yahweh had predicted, he would not pay attention to what Aaron and Moses/we told him.
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.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell Aaron to strike the ground with his stick. [When he does that], all the fine particles of ground/dust will become gnats, all over 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.
So they/we did that. Aaron struck the ground with his stick, and all over Egypt, the fine particles of ground/dirt became gnats. The gnats covered the people and all [their] animals.
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.
The men who worked magic tried to cause gnats to appear, but they were unable to do it. So the gnats [stayed] on the Egyptian people and on their animals.
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.
The men who worked magic said to the king, “It is God who has done this with his power [MTY]!” But the king continued to be stubborn [IDM], and he would not pay attention to us, just as Yahweh had predicted.
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.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Get up early [tomorrow] morning. [Go down] to the river and wait for the king. [When he comes to bathe] [MTY], say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh says to you: “Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert].
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.
[I warn you that] if you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies to you. They will come down on you and on your officials and on [the rest of] your people. The houses of all you Egyptians will be full of flies. They will [even] cover the ground.
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.
But when that happens, I will treat the Goshen region, where my people live, differently. There will be no swarms of flies there. In that way, you will know that I, Yahweh, am doing these things [here] in this land.
23 E eu porei remissão entre meu povo e o teu. Amanhã será este sinal.
I will distinguish clearly between [how I act toward] my people and [how I act toward] your people. And this plague is going to happen tomorrow!”’”
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.
[Early the next morning, Moses/I told that to the king, but the king would not pay any attention]. So Yahweh did what he said he would do. He sent great swarms of flies into the palace of the king and into the houses of his officials. The whole country of Egypt was ruined by the flies.
25 Então Faraó chamou a Moisés e a Arão, e disse-lhes: Andai, sacrificai a vosso Deus nesta terra.
Then the king summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “You Israeli people can go and offer sacrifices to your god, [but you must do it] here 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?
But Moses/I replied, “It would not be right [for us] to do that, because we will be offering sacrifices that are very offensive to the Egyptian people. If we offer sacrifices that the Egyptian people think are disgusting, they will kill us by throwing stones at us [RHQ]!
27 Caminho de três dias iremos pelo deserto, e sacrificaremos ao SENHOR nosso Deus, como ele nos dirá.
No, we need to travel for three days into the desert. There we will offer sacrifices to Yahweh, the God we worship, just as he commands (OR, has commanded) 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.
So the king said, “I will let your people go to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, your god, in the desert. But you must not go very far. [Now] pray 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.
Moses/I said, “Listen [to me]! After I leave you, I will pray to Yahweh, [asking] that tomorrow [he will cause] the swarms of flies to leave you and your officials and [the rest of] your people. But do not deceive us again by refusing to let our people go to offer sacrifices to Yahweh!”
30 Então Moisés saiu da presença de Faraó, e orou ao SENHOR.
Then Moses/I left the king and prayed to Yahweh.
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 Yahweh did what Moses/I asked, and he got rid of the swarms of flies from [around] the king and his officials and [the rest of] his people. No flies remained.
32 Mas Faraó agravou ainda esta vez seu coração, e não deixou o povo ir.
But the king was stubborn [IDM] this time also, and he did not allow the Israeli people to go.
