Êxodo 13
1 Então falou o Senhor a Moisés, dizendo:
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 Santifica-me todo o primogênito, o que abrir toda a madre entre os filhos de Israel, de homens e de animais: porque meu é.
“Set apart all the firstborn males in order that they may belong to me. The firstborn males of the Israeli people and of their animals will be mine.”
3 E Moisés disse ao povo: lembrai-vos deste mesmo dia, em que saístes do Egito, da casa da servidão; pois com mão forte o Senhor vos tirou daqui: portanto não comereis pão levedado.
Moses/I said to the people, “Do not forget this day! This is the day that you are leaving Egypt. This is the day you [are freed from] being their slaves. Yahweh has brought you out of Egypt by his great power [MTY]. Do not eat any bread that has yeast in it [whenever you celebrate] this day.
4 Hoje, no mês de Abib, vós saís.
You are leaving Egypt on this day, which is the first day of the month that is [named] Abib.
5 E acontecerá que, quando o Senhor te houver metido na terra dos cananeus, e dos heteus, e dos amorreus, e dos heveus, e dos jebuzeus, a qual jurou a teus pais que t'a daria, terra que mana leite e mel, guardarás este culto neste mês.
Later, when Yahweh brings you into the land where the descendants of Canaan, Heth, Amor, Hiv, and Jebus [now live], the land that he solemnly promised to give to you, a land that will be very good for raising livestock and growing crops [MTY], you must celebrate this festival during this month [every year].
6 Sete dias comerás pães asmos; e ao sétimo dia haverá festa ao Senhor.
For seven days the bread that you eat must not have any yeast in it. On the seventh day there must be a festival to [honor] Yahweh.
7 Sete dias se comerão pães asmos, e o levedado não se verá contigo, nem ainda fermento será visto em todos os teus termos.
For seven days do not eat bread that has yeast in it. You should not have any yeast or bread made with yeast anywhere in your land.
8 E naquele mesmo dia farás saber a teu filho, dizendo: Isto é pelo que o Senhor me tem feito, quando eu saí do Egito.
On the day [the festival starts], you must tell your children, ‘[We are doing this to remember] what Yahweh did for our ancestors when they left Egypt.
9 E te será por sinal sobre tua mão, e por lembrança entre teus olhos; para que a lei do Senhor esteja em tua boca: porquanto com mão forte o Senhor te tirou do Egito.
This ritual will remind you how Yahweh brought your ancestors out of Egypt with his great power [MTY]. [The ritual will be like something] you tie on your forehead or on your wrist. It will remind you to recite to others what Yahweh has instructed you.
10 Portanto tu guardarás este estatuto a seu tempo, de ano em ano.
So you must celebrate this festival every year at the time [Yahweh] has appointed.’
11 Também acontecerá que, quando o Senhor te houver metido na terra dos cananeus, como jurou a ti e a teus pais, quando te a houver dado,
Yahweh will bring you into the land where the descendants of Canaan live, just as he promised you and your ancestors that he would do. When he gives that land to you,
12 Farás passar ao Senhor tudo o que abrir a madre, e tudo o que abrir a madre do fruto dos animais que terás: os machos serão do Senhor.
you must dedicate to Yahweh the firstborn males of all your animals. These all will belong to Yahweh.
13 Porém tudo o que abrir a madre da jumenta, resgatarás com cordeiro; e se o não resgatares cortar-lhe-ás a cabeça: mas todo o primogênito do homem entre teus filhos resgatarás.
You may keep the firstborn male donkeys, but you must buy them back by sacrificing a lamb as a substitute for the donkey. If you do not want to buy back the donkey, you must [kill it by] breaking its neck. You must also buy back every one of your own firstborn sons.
14 Se acontecer que teu filho no tempo futuro te pergunte, dizendo: Que é isto? dir-lhe-ás: O Senhor nos tirou com mão forte do Egito, da casa da servidão.
In the future, when one of your children asks, ‘What does this mean?’, you must say to him, ‘Yahweh brought our ancestors out of Egypt with his great power [MTY], and freed us from being slaves there.
15 Porque sucedeu que, endurecendo-se faraó, para não nos deixar ir, o Senhor matou todos os primogênitos na terra do Egito, do primogênito do homem até ao primogênito dos animais: por isso eu sacrifico ao Senhor os machos de tudo que abre a madre; porém a todo o primogênito de meus filhos eu resgato.
The king of Egypt stubbornly refused to let them leave his country, so Yahweh killed all the firstborn males in Egypt, both the boys and the firstborn of their livestock. That is why we now sacrifice to Yahweh all the firstborn of our livestock, but we buy back our own firstborn sons.’
16 E será por sinal sobre tua mão, e por frontais entre os teus olhos; porque o Senhor nos tirou do Egito com mão forte.
I repeat that this ritual will remind you about how Yahweh brought our [ancestors] out of Egypt by his great power [MTY]; it will be like something you tie on your wrist or on your forehead [to remind you of that].”
17 E aconteceu, que quando faraó deixou ir o povo, Deus não os levou pelo caminho da terra dos philisteus, que estava mais perto; porque Deus disse: Para que porventura o povo não se arrependa, vendo a guerra, e se tornem ao Egito.
When the king [of Egypt] let the [Israeli] people go, God did not lead them to go through the land of the Philistines. That was a shorter way, but God said, “It would be bad if my people change their minds when they realize that they will have to fight [the Philistines to take their land], and then [decide to] return to Egypt.”
18 Mas Deus fez rodear o povo pelo caminho no deserto do Mar Vermelho: e subiram os filhos de Israel da terra do Egito armados.
Instead, God led them to go around through the desert toward the Red Sea (OR, the Gulf of Suez). When the Israeli people left Egypt, they were carrying weapons to fight [their enemies].
19 E tomou Moisés os ossos de José consigo, porquanto havia este estreitamente ajuramentado aos filhos de Israel, dizendo: Certamente Deus vos visitará; fazei pois subir daqui os meus ossos convosco.
Moses/I [had them] take along the bones of Joseph with them/us, because Joseph long ago had made the Israeli people promise solemnly that they would do that. He had said to them, “God will enable your descendants to leave Egypt. When that happens, you must carry my bones with you.”
20 Assim se partiram de Succoth, e acamparam-se em Etham, à entrada do deserto.
The Israeli people left Succoth and traveled to Etham, at the edge of the desert, and they set up their tents there.
21 E o Senhor ia adiante deles, de dia numa coluna de nuvem, para os guiar pelo caminho, e de noite numa coluna de fogo, para os alumiar, para que caminhassem de dia e de noite.
[When they traveled] during the daytime, Yahweh went in front of them in a tall [white] cloud to show them the way. During the night, he went in front of them in a tall cloud that looked like a fire. By doing that, he enabled them to travel in the daytime and also at nighttime.
22 Nunca tirou de diante da face do povo a coluna de nuvem, de dia, nem a coluna de fogo, de noite.
The tall cloud did not leave them. It was always in front of them, as a bright white cloud in the daytime and like a fire at night.
