Êxodo 9
1 Então o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Entra a Faraó, e dize-lhe: o SENHOR, o Deus dos hebreus, diz assim: Deixa ir a meu povo, para que me sirvam;
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go to the king and say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God [we] Hebrews [worship], says: “Allow my people to go, in order that they may worship me.
2 Porque se não o queres deixar ir, e os detiverdes ainda,
If you still keep refusing to let them go [DOU],
3 Eis que a mão do SENHOR será sobre teus gados que estão no campo, cavalos, asnos, camelos, vacas e ovelhas, com pestilência gravíssima:
I warn you that I will punish you with my power [MTY] by sending a terrible disease on all your animals—on your horses, donkeys, camels, on your cattle, and on your flocks [of sheep and goats].
4 E o SENHOR fará separação entre os gados de Israel e os do Egito, de modo que nada morra de todo o dos filhos de Israel.
But I, Yahweh, will distinguish between [what I do to] the animals that belong to the Israeli people and [what I do to] your animals. The result will be that no animal that belongs to the Israeli people will die.”’
5 E o SENHOR assinalou tempo, dizendo: Amanhã fará o SENHOR esta coisa na terra.
[Tell him that] I have determined/decided that tomorrow is the day that I will do this in this land.”
6 E o dia seguinte o SENHOR fez aquilo, e morreu todo o gado do Egito; mas do gado dos filhos de Israel não morreu um.
The next day Yahweh did just what he said [that he would do]. A terrible disease afflicted all of the Egyptians’ animals, and many of them [HYP] died. But none of the Israeli people’s animals died.
7 Então Faraó enviou, e eis que do gado dos filhos de Israel não havia um morto sequer. Mas o coração de Faraó se agravou, e não deixou ir ao povo.
The king sent [men to investigate], and they were surprised [to see] that none of the Israeli people’s animals had died. But [after they reported that to] the king, he continued to be stubborn [IDM], and he did not let the [Israeli] people go.
8 E o SENHOR disse a Moisés e a Arão: Tomai punhados de cinza de um forno, e espalha-a Moisés até o céu diante de Faraó:
Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me, “Take a few handfuls of ashes/soot from (a furnace/an oven where they burn lime), and let Moses throw them up into the air, in front of the king.
9 E virá a ser pó sobre toda a terra do Egito, o qual originará sarna que cause feridas com ulcerações nos homens e nos animais, por toda a terra do Egito.
The [ashes/soot] will spread all over the country of Egypt like fine dust. And the ashes/soot will cause boils to afflict both the Egyptian people and their animals, all over the land.”
10 E tomaram a cinza do forno, e puseram-se diante de Faraó, e espalhou-a Moisés até o céu; e veio uma sarna que causava feridas com ulcerações tanto nos homens como nos animais.
So they/we both got some ashes/soot and [went and] stood in front of the king. Moses/I threw the ashes/soot up into the air. The ashes/soot spread all over, causing boils to afflict the [Egyptian] people and their animals. All the boils became open sores.
11 E os magos não podiam estar diante de Moisés por causa das feridas, porque houve sarna nos magos e em todos os egípcios.
Even the men who worked magic had boils. The result was that [they were suffering so much that] they were not able to come to Moses/me, because the men who worked magic had boils just like all [the rest of] the Egyptian people.
12 E o SENHOR endureceu o coração de Faraó, e não os ouviu; como o SENHOR o disse a Moisés.
But Yahweh caused the king to [continue to] be stubborn [IDM]. He did not pay any attention to what they/we [said], just as Yahweh had told Moses/me [would happen].
13 Então o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Levanta-te de manhã, e põe-te diante de Faraó, e dize-lhe: o SENHOR, o Deus dos hebreus, disse assim: Deixa ir a meu povo, para que me sirva.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Get up early [tomorrow] morning. Go and stand in front of the king and tell him that Yahweh God, the one that the Hebrew people [worship], says this: ‘Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert].
14 Porque eu enviarei esta vez todas minhas pragas a teu coração, sobre teus servos, e sobre teu povo, para que entendas que não há outro como eu em toda a terra.
[If you do not let them go], this time I will [punish] with plagues [not only] your officials and the rest of your people, but I will punish you yourself [SYN], in order that you will know there is no [god] like me anywhere in the world.
15 Porque agora eu estenderei minha mão para ferir a ti e a teu povo de pestilência, e serás tirado da terra.
By this time I could have used my power [MTY] to strike you and your people with terrible diseases that would have wiped you all from the earth.
16 E à verdade eu te pus para declarar em ti meu poder, e que meu Nome seja contado em toda a terra.
But I have let you live. The reason I have let you live is to show you my power, with the result that [people] all over the earth [HYP] will know how great I [MTY] am.
17 Todavia te exaltas tu contra meu povo, para não deixá-los ir?
You are still acting proudly and refusing to let my people go.
18 Eis que amanhã a estas horas eu farei chover granizo muito grave, qual nunca foi em Egito, desde o dia que se fundou até agora.
So listen [to this]: About this time tomorrow I will cause very heavy hail to fall [in Egypt]. From the time Egypt first became [a country], there has never been a hailstorm [as bad as this one will be].
19 Envia, pois, a recolher teu gado, e tudo o que tens no campo; porque todo homem ou animal que se achar no campo, e não for recolhido a casa, o granizo descerá sobre ele, e morrerá.
So you should send [a message to everyone] to put their cattle, and everything else that they own that is [out] in the fields, under shelters. The hail will fall on every person and every animal that is out in the fields and that is not put under a shelter, and they will all die.’” [So Moses/I did what Yahweh said].
20 Dos servos de Faraó o que temeu a palavra do SENHOR, fez fugir seus criados e seu gado a casa:
Some of the king’s officials who heard what Yahweh had said became very afraid. So they put all their animals and their slaves under shelters.
21 Mas o que não pôs em seu coração a palavra do SENHOR, deixou seus criados e seus gados no campo.
But those who did not pay any attention to what Yahweh had said left their slaves and their animals in the fields.
22 E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Estende a tua mão até o céu, para que venha granizo em toda a terra do Egito sobre os homens, e sobre os animais, e sobre toda a erva do campo na terra do Egito.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Raise your hand up toward the sky, in order that hail will fall all over the land of Egypt—on the people and on their animals and on all the plants in the fields.”
23 E Moisés estendeu sua vara até o céu, e o SENHOR fez trovejar e cair granizo, e o fogo corria pela terra; e choveu o SENHOR granizo sobre a terra do Egito.
So Moses/I lifted his/my stick up toward the sky. And Yahweh sent down hail, all over the land of Egypt. There was also thunder and lightning.
24 Houve, pois, granizo, e fogo misturado com o granizo, tão grande, qual nunca houve em toda a terra do Egito desde que foi habitada.
While very heavy hail was falling, there was thunder, and lightning struck the ground. There had never been a hailstorm like that since Egypt first became a country.
25 E aquele granizo feriu em toda a terra do Egito todo o que estava no campo, tanto homens como animais; o granizo também feriu toda erva do campo, e quebrou os galhos de todas as árvores daquela terra.
The hail struck everything that was in the fields all over Egypt—every person and every animal. The hail destroyed the plants in the fields and stripped [the leaves off] the trees.
26 Somente na terra de Gósen, onde os filhos de Israel estavam, não houve granizo.
Only in the Goshen region, where the Israeli people were [living], was there no hail.
27 Então Faraó mandou chamar a Moisés e a Arão, e lhes disse: Pequei esta vez: o SENHOR é justo, e eu e meu povo ímpios.
Then the king sent [someone] to summon Aaron and Moses/me. [When they/we came to the king], he said to them/us, “This time [I admit that] I have sinned. What Yahweh [has done] is right, and what I and my people [have done] is wrong.
28 Orai ao SENHOR: e cessem os trovões de Deus e o granizo; e eu vos deixarei ir, e não vos detereis mais.
(Pray to/Plead with) Yahweh [to cause it to stop]! [We] cannot [endure any more] of this thunder and hail! I will let your people go; they do not have to stay [here in Egypt] any longer.”
29 E respondeu-lhe Moisés: Em saindo eu da cidade estenderei minhas mãos ao SENHOR, e os trovões cessarão, e não haverá mais granizo; para que saibas que do SENHOR é a terra.
Moses/I replied, “As soon as I go out of this city, I will lift up my hands [and pray] to Yahweh. Then the thunder will cease, and no more hail [will fall]. [This will happen] in order that you will know that Yahweh, [not your gods], controls everything [that happens] on the earth.
30 Mas eu sei que nem tu nem teus servos temereis todavia a presença do Deus o SENHOR.
But as for you and your officials, I know that you do not yet fear Yahweh God.”
31 O linho, pois, e a cevada foram feridos; porque a cevada estava já espigada, e o linho em flor.
When the hail fell, the flax was ruined because the buds were forming, and the barley was ruined because its grain was ripe.
32 Mas o trigo e o centeio não foram feridos; porque eram tardios.
But none of the wheat crops was ruined, because their shoots were still very small.
33 E saído Moisés da presença de Faraó da cidade, estendeu suas mãos ao SENHOR, e cessaram os trovões e o granizo; e a chuva não caiu mais sobre a terra.
So Moses/I left the king and went outside the city. He/I lifted up his/my hands toward Yahweh [and prayed]. Then the thunder and the hail stopped, and the rain also stopped falling on the land [of Egypt].
34 E vendo Faraó que a chuva havia cessado e o granizo e os trovões, perseverou em pecar, e agravou seu coração, ele e seus servos.
But when the king saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had stopped, he sinned again. He and his officials continued to be stubborn [IDM].
35 E o coração de Faraó se endureceu, e não deixou ir aos filhos de Israel; como o SENHOR o havia dito por meio de Moisés.
So, just as Yahweh had predicted by what he told Moses/me, the king did not allow the Israeli people to leave.
