Êxodo 19
1 Ao terceiro mês da saída dos filhos de Israel da terra do Egito, no mesmo dia vieram ao deserto de Sinai,
In the third month after the children of Israel went out from Egypt, on the same day, they came into the waste land of Sinai.
2 Porque partiram de Rephidim e vieram ao deserto de Sinai, e acamparam-se no deserto: Israel pois ali acampou-se defronte do monte.
And when they had gone away from Rephidim and had come into the waste land of Sinai, they put up their tents in the waste land before the mountain: there Israel put up its tents.
3 E subiu Moisés a Deus, e o Senhor o chamou do monte, dizendo: Assim falarás à casa de Jacob, e anunciarás aos filhos de Israel:
And Moses went up to God, and the voice of the Lord came to him from the mountain, saying, Say to the family of Jacob, and give word to the children of Israel:
4 Vós tendes visto o que fiz aos egípcios, como vos levei sobre asas de águias, e vos trouxe a mim;
You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I took you, as on eagles' wings, guiding you to myself.
5 Agora pois, se diligentemente ouvirdes a minha voz, e guardardes o meu concerto, então sereis a minha propriedade peculiar dentre todos os povos: porque toda a terra é minha.
If now you will truly give ear to my voice and keep my agreement, you will be my special property out of all the peoples: for all the earth is mine:
6 E vós me sereis um reino sacerdotal e o povo santo. Estas são as palavras que falarás aos filhos de Israel.
And you will be a kingdom of priests to me, and a holy nation. These are the words which you are to say to the children of Israel.
7 E veio Moisés, e chamou os anciãos do povo, e expôs diante deles todas estas palavras, que o Senhor lhe tinha ordenado.
And Moses came and sent for the chiefs of the people and put before them all these words which the Lord had given him orders to say.
8 Então todo o povo respondeu a uma voz, e disseram: Tudo o que o Senhor tem falado, faremos. E relatou Moisés ao Senhor as palavras do povo.
And all the people, answering together, said, Whatever the Lord has said we will do. And Moses took back to the Lord the words of the people.
9 E disse o Senhor a Moisés; Eis que eu virei a ti numa nuvem espessa, para que o povo ouça, falando eu contigo, e para que também te creiam eternamente. Porque Moisés tinha anunciado as palavras do seu povo ao Senhor.
And the Lord said to Moses, See, I will come to you in a thick cloud, so that what I say to you may come to the ears of the people and they may have belief in you for ever. And Moses gave the Lord word of what the people had said.
10 Disse também o Senhor a Moisés: vai ao povo, e santifica-os hoje e amanhã, e lavem eles os seus vestidos,
And the Lord said to Moses, Go to the people and make them holy today and tomorrow, and let their clothing be washed.
11 E estejam prontos para o terceiro dia: porquanto no terceiro dia o Senhor descerá ante dos olhos de todo o povo sobre o monte de Sinai.
And by the third day let them be ready: for on the third day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai, before the eyes of all the people.
12 E marcarás limites ao povo em redor, dizendo: guardai-vos que não subais ao monte, nem toqueis o seu termo; todo aquele, que tocar o monte, certamente morrerá.
And let limits be marked out for the people round the mountain, and say to them, Take care not to go up the mountain or near the sides of it: whoever puts his foot on the mountain will certainly come to his death:
13 Nenhuma mão tocará nele: porque certamente será apedrejado ou asseteado; quer seja animal, quer seja homem, não viverá; soando a buzina longamente, então subirão ao monte.
He is not to be touched by a hand, but is to be stoned or have an arrow put through him; man or beast, he is to be put to death: at the long sounding of a horn they may come up to the mountain.
14 Então Moisés desceu do monte ao povo, e santificou o povo; e lavaram os seus vestidos.
Then Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and made the people holy; and their clothing was washed.
15 E disse ao povo: estai prontos ao terceiro dia; e não chegueis a mulher.
And he said to the people, Be ready by the third day: do not come near a woman.
16 E aconteceu ao terceiro dia, ao amanhecer, que houve trovões e relâmpagos sobre o monte, e uma espessa nuvem, e um sonido de buzina mui forte, de maneira que estremeceu todo o povo que estava no arraial.
And when morning came on the third day, there were thunders and flames and a thick cloud on the mountain, and a horn sounding very loud; and all the people in the tents were shaking with fear.
17 E Moisés levou o povo fora do arraial ao encontro de Deus; e puseram-se ao pé do monte.
And Moses made the people come out of their tents and take their places before God; and they came to the foot of the mountain,
18 E todo o monte de Sinai fumegava, porque o Senhor descera sobre ele em fogo: e o seu fumo subiu como fumo dum forno, e todo o monte tremia grandemente.
And all the mountain of Sinai was smoking, for the Lord had come down on it in fire: and the smoke of it went up like the smoke of a great burning; and all the mountain was shaking.
19 E o sonido da buzina ia esforçando-se em grande maneira: Moisés falava, e Deus lhe respondia em voz alta.
And when the sound of the horn became louder and louder, Moses' words were answered by the voice of God.
20 E, descendo o Senhor sobre o monte de Sinai, sobre o cume do monte, chamou o Senhor a Moisés ao cume do monte; e Moisés subiu.
Then the Lord came down on to Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain, and the Lord sent for Moses to come up to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
21 E disse o Senhor a Moisés: Desce, protesta ao povo que não trespassem o termo, para ver o Senhor, e muitos deles perecerem.
And the Lord said to Moses, Go down and give the people orders to keep back, for fear that a great number of them, forcing their way through to see the Lord, may come to destruction.
22 E também os sacerdotes, que se chegam ao Senhor, se hão de santificar, para que o Senhor não se lance sobre eles.
And let the priests who come near to the Lord make themselves holy, for fear that the Lord may come on them suddenly.
23 Então disse Moisés ao Senhor: O povo não poderá subir ao monte de Sinai, porque tu nos tens protestado, dizendo: Marca termos ao monte, e santifica-o.
And Moses said to the Lord, The people will not be able to come up the mountain, for you gave us orders to put limits round the mountain, marking it out and making it holy.
24 E disse-lhe o Senhor: vai, desce: depois subirás tu, e Aarão contigo: os sacerdotes, porém, e o povo não trespassem o termo para subir ao Senhor, para que não se lance sobre eles.
And the Lord said to him, Go down, and you and Aaron may come up; but let not the priests and the people make their way through to the Lord, or he will come on them suddenly.
25 Então Moisés desceu ao povo, e disse-lhes isto.
So Moses went down to the people and said this to them.
