1Disse o Senhor a Moisés:
1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2Fala aos filhos de Israel que se voltem e se acampem diante de Pi-Hairote, entre Migdol e o mar, diante de Baal-Zefom; em frente dele assentareis o acampamento junto ao mar.
2“Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea.
3Então Faraó dirá dos filhos de Israel: Eles estão embaraçados na terra, o deserto os encerrou.
3Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.’
4Eu endurecerei o coração de Faraó, e ele os perseguirá; glorificar-me-ei em Faraó, e em todo o seu exército; e saberão os egípcios que eu sou o Senhor. E eles fizeram assim.
4I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh.” They did so.
5Quando, pois, foi anunciado ao rei do Egito que o povo havia fugido, mudou-se o coração de Faraó, e dos seus servos, contra o povo, e disseram: Que é isso que fizemos, permitindo que Israel saísse e deixasse de nos servir?
5It was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed towards the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?”
6E Faraó aprontou o seu carro, e tomou consigo o seu povo;
6He prepared his chariot, and took his army with him;
7tomou também seiscentos carros escolhidos e todos os carros do Egito, e capitães sobre todos eles.
7and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over all of them.
8Porque o Senhor endureceu o coração de Faraó, rei do Egito, e este perseguiu os filhos de Israel; pois os filhos de Israel saíam afoitamente.
8Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went out with a high hand.
9Os egípcios, com todos os cavalos e carros de Faraó, e os seus cavaleiros e o seu exército, os perseguiram e os alcançaram acampados junto ao mar, perto de Pi-Hairote, diante de Baal-Zefom.
9The Egyptians pursued after them: all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army; and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
10Quando Faraó se aproximava, os filhos de Israel levantaram os olhos, e eis que os egípcios marchavam atrás deles; pelo que tiveram muito medo os filhos de Israel e clamaram ao Senhor:
10When Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel cried out to Yahweh.
11e disseram a Moisés: Foi porque não havia sepulcros no Egito que de lá nos tiraste para morrermos neste deserto? Por que nos fizeste isto, tirando-nos do Egito?
11They said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring us out of Egypt?
12Não é isto o que te dissemos no Egito: Deixa-nos, que sirvamos aos egípcios? Pois melhor nos fora servir aos egípcios, do que morrermos no deserto.
12Isn’t this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians?’ For it were better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.”
13Moisés, porém, disse ao povo: Não temais; estai quietos, e vede o livramento do Senhor, que ele hoje vos fará; porque aos egípcios que hoje vistes, nunca mais tornareis a ver;
13Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you today: for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you shall never see them again.
14o Senhor pelejará por vós; e vós vos calareis.
14Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still.”
15Então disse o Senhor a Moisés: Por que clamas a mim? dize aos filhos de Israel que marchem.
15Yahweh said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward.
16E tu, levanta a tua vara, e estende a mão sobre o mar e fende-o, para que os filhos de Israel passem pelo meio do mar em seco.
16Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go into the midst of the sea on dry ground.
17Eis que eu endurecerei o coração dos egípcios, e estes entrarão atrás deles; e glorificar-me-ei em Faraó e em todo o seu exército, nos seus carros e nos seus cavaleiros.
17I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them: and I will get myself honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.
18E os egípcios saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando me tiver glorificado em Faraó, nos seus carros e nos seus cavaleiros.
18The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have gotten myself honor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.”
19Então o anjo de Deus, que ia adiante do exército de Israel, se retirou e se pos atrás deles; também a coluna de nuvem se retirou de diante deles e se pôs atrás,
19The angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind them.
20colocando-se entre o campo dos egípcios e o campo dos israelitas; assim havia nuvem e trevas; contudo aquela clareava a noite para Israel; de maneira que em toda a noite não se aproximou um do outro.
20It came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud and the darkness, yet gave it light by night: and the one didn’t come near the other all the night.
21Então Moisés estendeu a mão sobre o mar; e o Senhor fez retirar o mar por um forte vento oriental toda aquela noite, e fez do mar terra seca, e as águas foram divididas.
21Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and Yahweh caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22E os filhos de Israel entraram pelo meio do mar em seco; e as águas foram-lhes qual muro � sua direita e � sua esquerda.
22The children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.
23E os egípcios os perseguiram, e entraram atrás deles até o meio do mar, com todos os cavalos de Faraó, os seus carros e os seus cavaleiros.
23The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea: all of Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24Na vigília da manhã, o Senhor, na coluna do fogo e da nuvem, olhou para o campo dos egípcios, e alvoroçou o campo dos egípcios;
24It happened in the morning watch, that Yahweh looked out on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian army.
25embaraçou-lhes as rodas dos carros, e fê-los andar dificultosamente; de modo que os egípcios disseram: Fujamos de diante de Israel, porque o Senhor peleja por eles contra os egípcios.
25He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, “Let’s flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh fights for them against the Egyptians!”
26Nisso o Senhor disse a Moisés: Estende a mão sobre o mar, para que as águas se tornem sobre os egípcios, sobre os seus carros e sobre os seus cavaleiros.
26Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”
27Então Moisés estendeu a mão sobre o mar, e o mar retomou a sua força ao amanhecer, e os egípcios fugiram de encontro a ele; assim o Senhor derribou os egípcios no meio do mar.
27Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it. Yahweh overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28As águas, tornando, cobriram os carros e os cavaleiros, todo o exército de Faraó, que atrás deles havia entrado no mar; não ficou nem sequer um deles.
28The waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh’s army that went in after them into the sea. There remained not so much as one of them.
29Mas os filhos de Israel caminharam a pé enxuto pelo meio do mar; as águas foram-lhes qual muro � sua direita e � sua esquerda.
29But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.
30Assim o Senhor, naquele dia, salvou Israel da mão dos egípcios; e Israel viu os egípcios mortos na praia do mar.
30Thus Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
31E viu Israel a grande obra que o Senhor operara contra os egípcios; pelo que o povo temeu ao Senhor, e creu no Senhor e em Moisés, seu servo.
31Israel saw the great work which Yahweh did to the Egyptians, and the people feared Yahweh; and they believed in Yahweh, and in his servant Moses.
