Exodus 8
1 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.
Depois disse o Senhor a Moisés: Entra a faraó, e dize-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor: Deixa ir o meu povo, para que me sirva.
2 But if you are not willing to release them, behold, I will strike all your coasts with frogs.
E se recusares deixa-lo ir, eis que ferirei com rãs todos os teus termos.
3 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.
E o rio criará rãs, que subirão e virão à tua casa, e ao teu dormitório, e sobre a tua cama, e às casas dos teus servos, e sobre o teu povo, e aos teus fornos, e às tuas amassadeiras.
4 And to you, and to your people, and to all your servants, the frogs will enter.’”
E as rãs subirão sobre ti, e sobre o teu povo, e sobre todos os teus servos.
5 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.’”
Disse mais o Senhor a Moisés: Dize a Aarão: Estende a tua mão com tua vara sobre as correntes, e sobre os rios, e sobre os tanques, e faze subir rãs sobre a terra do Egito.
6 And Aaron extended his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
E Aarão estendeu a sua mão sobre as águas do Egito, e subiram rãs, e cobriram a terra do Egito.
7 Then the sorcerers also, by their incantations, did similarly, and they brought forth frogs upon the land of Egypt.
Então os magos fizeram o mesmo com os seus encantamentos: e fizeram subir rãs sobre a terra do Egito.
8 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.”
E faraó chamou a Moisés e a Aarão, e disse: rogai ao Senhor que tire as rãs de mim e do meu povo; depois deixarei ir o povo, para que sacrifiquem ao Senhor.
9 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.”
E Moisés disse a faraó: Tu tenhas a honra sobre mim: Quando orarei por ti, e pelos teus servos, e por teu povo, para tirar as rãs de ti, e das suas casas, que somente fiquem no rio
10 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.
E ele disse: amanhã. E Moisés disse: Seja conforme à tua palavra, para que saibas que ninguém há como o Senhor nosso Deus.
11 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.”
E as rãs apartar-se-ão de ti, e das tuas casas, e dos teus servos, e do teu povo: somente ficarão no rio
12 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.
Então saiu Moisés e Aarão de faraó: e Moisés clamou ao Senhor por causa das rãs que tinha posto sobre faraó,
13 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.
E o Senhor fez conforme à palavra de Moisés: e as rãs morreram nas casas, nos pátios, e nos campos,
14 And they gathered them together into immense piles, and the land was polluted.
E ajuntaram-nas em montões, e a terra fedeu.
15 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.
Vendo pois faraó que havia descanço, agravou o seu coração, e não os ouviu, como o Senhor tinha dito
16 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.’”
Disse mais o Senhor a Moisés: Dize a Aarão: Estende a tua vara, e fere o pó da terra, para que se torne em piolhos por toda a terra do Egito.
17 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.
E fizeram assim; porque Aarão estendeu a sua mão com a sua vara, e feriu o pó da terra, e havia muitos piolhos nos homens e no gado: todo o pó da terra se tornou em piolhos em toda a terra do Egito.
18 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.
E os magos fizeram também assim com os seus encantamentos para produzir piolhos, mas não puderam: e havia piolhos nos homens e no gado.
19 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.
Então disseram os magos a faraó: Isto é o dedo de Deus. Porém o coração de faraó se endureceu, e não os ouvia, como o Senhor tinha dito.
20 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.
Disse mais o Senhor a Moisés: Levanta-te pela manhã cedo, e põe-te diante de faraó; eis que ele sairá às águas, e dize-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor: Deixa ir o meu povo, para que me sirva
21 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.
Porque se não deixares ir o meu povo, eis que enviarei enxames de moscas sobre ti, e sobre os teus servos, e sobre o teu povo, e à tuas casas; e as casas dos egípcios se encherão destes enxames, e também a terra em que eles estiverem.
22 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.
E naquele dia eu separarei a terra de Goshen, em que meu povo habita, que nela não haja enxames de moscas, para que saibas que eu sou o Senhor no meio desta terra.
23 And I will set a division between my people and your people. Tomorrow this sign will be.’”
E porei separação entre o meu povo e o teu povo: amanhã será este sinal.
24 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.
E o Senhor fez assim; e vieram grandes enxames de moscas à casa de faraó, e às casas dos seus servos, e sobre toda a terra do Egito: a terra foi corrompida destes enxames.
25 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them, “Go and sacrifice to your God in this land.”
Então chamou faraó a Moisés e a Aarão, e disse: Ide, e sacrificai ao vosso Deus nesta terra.
26 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.
E Moisés disse: Não convém que façamos assim, porque sacrificaríamos ao Senhor nosso Deus a abominação dos egípcios: eis que se sacrificássemos a abominação dos egípcios perante os seus olhos, não nos apedrejariam eles?
27 We will sojourn three days’ journey into the wilderness. And we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, just as he has instructed us.”
Deixa-nos ir caminho de três dias ao deserto, para que sacrifiquemos ao Senhor nosso Deus, como ele nos dirá.
28 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.”
Então disse faraó: deixar-vos-ei ir, para que sacrifiqueis ao Senhor vosso Deus no deserto; somente que, indo, não vades longe; orai também por mim
29 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.”
E Moisés disse: Eis que saio de ti, e orarei ao Senhor, que estes enxames de moscas se retirem amanhã de faraó, dos seus servos, e do seu povo: somente que faraó não mais me engane, não deixando ir a este povo para sacrificar ao Senhor.
30 And Moses, departing from Pharaoh, prayed to the Lord.
Então saiu Moisés de faraó, e orou ao Senhor,
31 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.
E fez o Senhor conforme à palavra de Moisés, e os enxames de moscas se retiraram de faraó, dos seus servos, e do seu povo: não ficou uma só.
32 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, so that, even at this turn, he would not release the people.
Mas agravou faraó ainda esta vez seu coração, e não deixou ir o povo.
