Êxodo 2
1 E foi-se um varão da casa de Levi, e casou com uma filha de Levi.
A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife.
2 E a mulher concebeu, e pariu um filho, e, vendo que elle era formoso, escondeu-o tres mezes.
The woman conceived, and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.
3 Não podendo, porém, mais escondel-o tomou uma arca de juncos, e a betumou com betume e pêz; e, pondo n'ella o menino, a poz nos juncos á borda do rio
When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus box for him and coated it with bitumen and with pitch. And she put the child in it and put it among the rushes by the bank of the river.
4 E sua irmã parou-se de longe, para saber o que lhe havia de acontecer.
And his sister stood at a distance, to see what would be done to him.
5 E a filha de Pharaó desceu a lavar-se no rio, e as suas donzellas passeavam, pela borda do rio: e ella viu a arca no meio dos juncos, e enviou a sua creada, e a tomou.
Pharaoh's daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the box among the rushes, and sent her handmaid to get it.
6 E abrindo-a, viu ao menino, e eis que o menino chorava; e moveu-se de compaixão d'elle, e disse: Dos meninos dos hebreos é este.
She opened it, and saw the child, and look, the baby cried. And she had compassion on him, and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children."
7 Então disse sua irmã á filha de Pharaó: Irei eu a chamar uma ama das hebreas, que crie este menino por ti?
Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, "Should I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?"
8 E a filha de Pharaó disse-lhe: Vae. E foi-se a moça, e chamou a mãe do menino.
Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go." The maiden went and called the child's mother.
9 Então lhe disse a filha de Pharaó: Leva este menino, e cria-m'o: eu te darei teu salario. E a mulher tomou o menino, e creou-o.
Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages." The woman took the child, and nursed it.
10 E, sendo o menino já grande, ella o trouxe á filha de Pharaó, a qual o adoptou; e chamou o seu nome Moysés, e disse: Porque das aguas o tenho tirado.
The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, and said, "Because I drew him out of the water."
11 E aconteceu n'aquelles dias que, sendo Moysés já grande, saiu a seus irmãos, e attentou nas suas cargas: e viu que um varão egypcio feria a um hebreu, varão de seus irmãos.
It happened in those days, when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brothers, and looked at their burdens. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.
12 E olhou a uma e a outra banda, e, vendo que ninguem ali havia, feriu ao egypcio, e escondeu-o na areia.
He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one, he killed the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 E tornou a sair no dia seguinte, e eis que dois varões hebreos contendiam; e disse ao injusto: Porque feres a teu proximo?
He went out the second day, and look, two men of the Hebrews were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, "Why do you strike your fellow?"
14 O qual disse: Quem te tem posto a ti por maioral e juiz sobre nós? pensas matar-me, como mataste o egypcio? Então temeu Moysés, e disse: Certamente este negocio foi descoberto.
He said, "Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?" Moses was afraid, and said, "Surely this thing is known."
15 Ouvindo pois Pharaó este negocio, procurou matar a Moysés: mas Moysés fugiu de diante da face de Pharaó, e habitou na terra de Midian, e assentou-se junto a um poço.
Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and lived in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.
16 E o sacerdote de Midian tinha sete filhas, as quaes vieram a tirar agua, e encheram as pias, para dar de beber ao rebanho de seu pae.
Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
17 Então vieram os pastores, e lançaram-as d'ali; Moysés porém levantou-se, e defendeu-as, e abeberou-lhes o rebanho.
The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and drew water for them, and watered their flock.
18 E vindo ellas a Reuel seu pae, elle disse: Porque hoje tomastes tão depressa?
When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, "How is it that you have returned so early today?"
19 E ellas disseram: Um homem egypcio nos livrou da mão dos pastores; e tambem nos tirou agua em abundancia, e abeberou o rebanho.
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 elle? porque deixastes o homem? chamae-o para que coma pão.
He said to his daughters, "Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread."
21 E Moysés consentiu em morar com aquelle homem: e elle deu a Moysés sua filha Zippora,
And Moses was content to dwell with the man. And he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter in marriage.
22 A qual pariu um filho, e elle chamou o seu nome Gerson, porque disse: Peregrino fui em terra estranha.
She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, "I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land."
23 E aconteceu depois de muitos d'estes dias, morrendo o rei do Egypto, que os filhos de Israel suspiraram por causa da servidão, e clamaram: e o seu clamor subiu a Deus por causa de sua servidão.
It happened in the course of those many days, that the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.
24 E ouviu Deus o seu gemido, e lembrou-se Deus do seu concerto com Abrahão, com Isaac, e com Jacob;
God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 E attentou Deus para os filhos d'Israel, e conheceu-os Deus.
God saw the children of Israel, and God took notice.
