< Êxodo 14 >

1 E falou o SENHOR a Moisés, dizendo:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Fala aos filhos de Israel que deem a volta, e assentem seu acampamento diante de Pi-Hairote, entre Migdol e o mar até Baal-Zefom: diante dele assentareis o campo, junto ao mar.
Speak to the children of Israel, and let them turn and encamp before the village, between Magdol and the sea, opposite Beel-sepphon: before them shall you encamp by the sea.
3 Porque Faraó dirá dos filhos de Israel: Estão andando confusos na terra, o deserto os encurralou.
And Pharao will say to his people, As for these children of Israel, they are wandering in the land, for the wilderness has shut them in.
4 E eu endurecerei o coração de Faraó para que os siga; e serei glorificado em Faraó e em todo o seu exército; e saberão os egípcios que eu sou o SENHOR. E eles o fizeram assim.
And I will harden the heart of Pharao, and he shall pursue after them; and I will be glorified in Pharao, and in all his host, and all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord. And they did so.
5 E foi dado aviso ao rei do Egito como o povo se fugia: e o coração de Faraó e de seus servos se voltou contra o povo, e disseram: Como fizemos isto de haver deixado ir a Israel, para que não nos sirva?
And it was reported to the king of the Egyptians that the people had fled: and the heart of Pharao was turned, and that of his servants against the people; and they said, What is this that we have done, to let the children of Israel go, so that they should not serve us?
6 E preparou seu carro, e tomou consigo seu povo;
So Pharao yoked his chariots, and led off all his people with himself:
7 e tomou seiscentos carros escolhidos, e todos os carros do Egito, e os capitães sobre eles.
having also taken six hundred chosen chariots, and all the cavalry of the Egyptians, and rulers over all.
8 E endureceu o SENHOR o coração de Faraó rei do Egito, e seguiu aos filhos de Israel; mas os filhos de Israel haviam saído com mão poderosa.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao king of Egypt, and of his servants, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went forth with a high hand.
9 Seguindo-os, pois, os egípcios, com toda a cavalaria e carros de Faraó, seus cavaleiros, e todo seu exército, alcançaram-nos assentando o acampamento junto ao mar, ao lado de Pi-Hairote, diante de Baal-Zefom.
And the Egyptians pursued after them, and found them encamped by the sea; and all the cavalry and the chariots of Pharao, and the horsemen, and his host [were] before the village, over against Beel-sepphon.
10 E quando Faraó se aproximou, os filhos de Israel levantaram seus olhos, e eis que os egípcios vinham atrás deles; por isso temeram muito, e os filhos de Israel clamaram ao SENHOR.
And Pharao approached, and the children of Israel having looked up, saw, and the Egyptians encamped behind them: and they were very greatly terrified, and the children of Israel cried to the Lord;
11 E disseram a Moisés: Não havia sepulcros no Egito, que nos tiraste para morrermos no deserto? Por que o fizeste assim conosco, que nos tiraste do Egito?
and said to Moses, Because there were no graves in the land of Egypt, have you brought us forth to kill [us] in the wilderness? What is this that you have done to us, having brought us out of Egypt?
12 Não é isto o que te falamos no Egito, dizendo: Deixa-nos servir aos egípcios? Pois melhor nos teria sido servir aos egípcios, que morrermos no deserto.
Is not this the word which we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians? for it is better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in this wilderness.
13 E Moisés disse ao povo: Não temais; ficai quietos, e vede a salvação do SENHOR, que ele fará hoje convosco; porque os egípcios que hoje vistes, nunca mais para sempre os vereis.
And Moses said to the people, Be of good courage: stand and see the salvation which is from the Lord, which he will work for us this day; for as you have seen the Egyptians today, you shall see them again no more for ever.
14 O SENHOR lutará por vós, e vós ficai quietos.
The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.
15 Então o SENHOR disse a Moisés: “Por que clamas a mim? Diz aos filhos de Israel que marchem.
and the Lord said to Moses, Why cry you to me? speak to the children of Israel, and let them proceed.
16 Quanto a ti, ergue a tua vara, estende a tua mão sobre o mar, e divide-o. Que os filhos de Israel entre por meio do mar em seco.
And do you lift up your rod, and stretch forth your hand over the sea, and divide it, and let the children of Israel enter into the midst of the sea on the dry land.
17 E eu, eis que endurecerei o coração dos egípcios, para que os sigam. E eu me glorificarei em Faraó, e em todo o seu exército, e em suas carruagens, e em sua cavalaria;
And behold! I will harden the heart of Pharao and of all the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them; and I will be glorified upon Pharao, and on all his host, and on his chariots and his horses.
18 E os egípcios saberão que eu sou o SENHOR, quando eu me glorificar em Faraó, em seus carros, e em seus cavaleiros.”
And all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I am glorified upon Pharao and upon his chariots and his horses.
19 E o anjo de Deus que ia diante do acampamento de Israel, se separou, e ia detrás deles; e também a coluna de nuvem que ia diante deles, separou-se, e pôs-se atrás deles;
And the angel of God that went before the camp of the children of Israel removed and went behind, and the pillar of the cloud also removed from before them and stood behind them.
20 e ia entre o acampamento dos egípcios e o acampamento de Israel; e era nuvem e trevas para aqueles, e iluminava a Israel de noite; e em toda aquela noite não se aproximaram uns dos outros.
And it went between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and stood; and there was darkness and blackness; and the night passed, and they came not near to one another during the whole night.
21 E estendeu Moisés sua mão sobre o mar, e fez o SENHOR que o mar se retirasse por forte vento oriental toda aquela noite; e tornou o mar em seco, e as águas restaram divididas.
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the Lord carried back the sea with a strong south wind all the night, and made the sea dry, and the water was divided.
22 Então os filhos de Israel entraram por meio do mar em seco, tendo as águas como muro à sua direita e à sua esquerda;
And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the water of it was a wall on the right hand and a wall on the left.
23 E seguindo-os os egípcios, entraram atrás deles até o meio do mar, toda a cavalaria de Faraó, seus carros, e seus cavaleiros.
And the Egyptians pursued them and went in after them, and every horse of Pharao, and his chariots, and his horsemen, into the midst of the sea.
24 E aconteceu à vigília da manhã, que o SENHOR olhou ao campo dos egípcios desde a coluna de fogo e nuvem, e perturbou o acampamento dos egípcios.
And it came to pass in the morning watch that the Lord looked forth on the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and troubled the camp of the Egyptians,
25 E tirou-lhes as rodas de seus carros, e transtornou-os gravemente. Então os egípcios disseram: Fujamos de diante de Israel, porque o SENHOR luta por eles contra os egípcios.
and bound the axle-trees of their chariots, and caused them to go with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.
26 E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Estende tua mão sobre o mar, para que as águas voltem sobre os egípcios, sobre seus carros, e sobre sua cavalaria.
And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth tine hand over the sea, and let the water be turned back to its place, and let it cover the Egyptians [coming] both upon the chariots and the riders.
27 E Moisés estendeu sua mão sobre o mar, e o mar se voltou em sua força quando amanhecia; e os egípcios iam até ela: e o SENHOR derrubou aos egípcios em meio do mar.
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the water returned to its place toward day; and the Egyptians fled from the water, and the Lord shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 E voltaram as águas, e cobriram os carros e a cavalaria, e todo o exército de Faraó que havia entrado atrás eles no mar; não restou deles nenhum.
and the water returned and covered the chariots and the riders, and all the forces of Pharao, who entered after them into the sea: and there was not left of them even one.
29 E os filhos de Israel foram por meio do mar em seco, tendo as águas por muro à sua direita e à sua esquerda.
But the children of Israel went along dry land in the midst of the sea, and the water was to them a wall on the right hand, and a wall on the left.
30 Assim salvou o SENHOR aquele dia a Israel da mão dos egípcios; e Israel viu aos egípcios mortos à beira do mar.
So the Lord delivered Israel in that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead by the shore of the sea.
31 E viu Israel aquele grande feito que o SENHOR executou contra os egípcios: e o povo temeu ao SENHOR, e creram no SENHOR e em Moisés seu servo.
And Israel saw the mighty hand, the [things] which the Lord did to the Egyptians; and the people feared the Lord, and they believed God and Moses his servant.
