1 ULB Deus falou a Moisés: BSB BSB: Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 ULB "Dize aos israelitas que eles devem retornar e acampar diante de Pi Hairote, entre Migdol e o mar, antes de Baal Zefom. Vós acampareis junto ao mar, oposto a Pi Hairote. BSB BSB: “Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. You are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal-zephon.
3 ULB Faraó dirá sobre vós, israelitas, 'Eles estão vagando pela terra. Ficaram presos no deserto'. BSB BSB: For Pharaoh will say of the Israelites, ‘They are wandering the land in confusion; the wilderness has boxed them in.’
4 ULB Eu endurecerei o coração de Faraó, e ele os perseguirá. Serei honrado por causa de Faraó e seu exército. Os egípcios saberão que Eu sou Yahweh." Então os israelitas acamparam como haviam sido instruídos. BSB BSB: And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart so that he will pursue them. But I will gain honor by means of Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD.” So this is what the Israelites did.
5 ULB Quando o rei do Egito foi informado de que os israelitas haviam fugido, os pensamentos de Faraó e de seus servos voltaram-se contra o povo. Eles disseram: "O que fizemos nós, deixando Israel livre de nos servir?" BSB BSB: When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said, “What have we done? We have released Israel from serving us.”
6 ULB Então Faraó preparou suas carruagens e tomou seu exército com ele. BSB BSB: So Pharaoh prepared his chariot and took his army with him.
7 ULB Tomou seiscentas carruagens selecionadas e outras carruagens do Egito, todas com seus oficiais. BSB BSB: He took 600 of the best chariots, and all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them.
8 ULB Yahweh endureceu o coração de Faraó, rei do Egito, e o rei perseguiu os israelitas. Os israelitas haviam saído triunfantes. BSB BSB: And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out defiantly.
9 ULB Mas os egípcios os perseguiram, com seus cavalos e carruagens, seus cavaleiros e seu exército. Eles alcançaram os israelitas no acampamento junto ao mar ao lado de Pi Hairote, antes de Baal Zefom. BSB BSB: The Egyptians—all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots, horsemen and troops—pursued the Israelites and overtook them as they camped by the sea near Pi-hahiroth, opposite Baal-zephon.
10 ULB Quando Faraó se aproximou, os israelitas olharam e ficaram surpresos. Os egípcios estavam marchando atrás deles, e eles estavam apavorados. Os israelitas clamaram a Deus. BSB BSB: As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up and saw the Egyptians marching after them, and they were terrified and cried out to the LORD.
11 ULB Disseram a Moisés: "É porque não havia túmulos no Egito que nos trouxeste para morrer no deserto? Por que nos trataste assim, tirando-nos do Egito? BSB BSB: They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us into the wilderness to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt?
12 ULB Não foi isso o que te dissemos? Nós te dissemos: 'Deixa-nos em paz, então poderemos servir aos egípcios. Teria sido melhor para nós trabalhar para eles do que morrer no deserto'". BSB BSB: Did we not say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone so that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”
13 ULB Moisés disse ao povo: "Não temais. Permanecei firmes e vede o livramento que Yahweh proverá para vós hoje. Pois nunca mais vereis novamente os egípcios que vedes hoje. BSB BSB: But Moses told the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the LORD’s salvation, which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians you see today, you will never see again.
14 ULB Yahweh lutará por vós, apenas permanecereis firmes" BSB BSB: The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
15 ULB Então Deus disse a Moisés: "Por que, Moisés, continuas clamando a mim? Dize aos israelitas para irem em frente. BSB BSB: Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the Israelites to go forward.
16 ULB Levanta o teu cajado, estende a tua mão sobre o mar e divide-o em dois, para que o povo de Israel atravesse o mar em terra seca. Sabe que endurecerei os corações dos egípcios, então eles irão atrás deles. BSB BSB: And as for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground.
17 ULB Serei honrado por causa de Faraó e todo seu exército, suas carruagens e seus cavaleiros. BSB BSB: And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them. Then I will gain honor by means of Pharaoh and all his army and chariots and horsemen.
18 ULB Então os egípcios saberão que Eu sou Yahweh quando Eu for honrado por causa de Faraó, suas carruagens e seus cavaleiros." BSB BSB: The Egyptians will know that I am the LORD when I am honored through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
19 ULB O anjo de Deus, que ia à frente dos israelitas, foi para trás deles. A coluna de nuvem, que ia à frente deles, ficou atrás. BSB BSB: And the angel of God, who had gone before the camp of Israel, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from before them and stood behind them,
20 ULB A nuvem ficou entre o acampamento dos egípcios e o acampamento dos israelitas. E era uma nuvem escura para os Egípcios, mas iluminava a noite para os Israelitas. Então um lado se aproximou do outro durante toda noite. BSB BSB: so that it came between the camps of Egypt and Israel. The cloud was there in the darkness, but it lit up the night. So all night long neither camp went near the other.
21 ULB Moisés estendeu sua mão sobre o mar. A partir de um forte vento oriental, durante toda aquela noite, Yahweh recolheu e dividiu as águas do mar, tornando-o terra seca. BSB BSB: Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the LORD drove back the sea with a strong east wind that turned it into dry land. So the waters were divided,
22 ULB Os Israelitas atravessaram pelo meio do mar em solo seco. As águas formaram uma muralha para eles, tanto do seu lado direito quanto do lado esquerdo. BSB BSB: and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left.
23 ULB Os egípcios os perseguiram. Eles foram atrás dos israelitas para o meio do mar- com todos os cavalos, carruagens e cavaleiros de Faraó. BSB BSB: And the Egyptians chased after them—all Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and horsemen—and followed them into the sea.
24 ULB Mas ao amanhecer, Yahweh impediu o exército egípcio através da coluna de fogo e da nuvem. Ele trouxe pânico entre os egípcios. BSB BSB: At morning watch, however, the LORD looked down on the army of the Egyptians from the pillar of fire and cloud, and He threw their camp into confusion.
25 ULB As rodas de suas carruagens ficaram travadas, e seus cavaleiros guiavam com dificuldade. Então os egípcios disseram: "Vamos fugir de Israel, porque Yahweh está lutando a favor deles e contra nós". BSB BSB: He caused their chariot wheels to wobble, so that they had difficulty driving. “Let us flee from the Israelites,” said the Egyptians, “for the LORD is fighting for them against Egypt!”
26 ULB Yahweh disse a Moisés: "Estende tua mão sobre o mar para que as águas voltem sobre os egípcios, suas carruagens e cavaleiros". BSB BSB: Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.”
27 ULB Então Moisés estendeu sua mão sobre o mar, e as águas voltaram ao curso normal quando amanheceu. Os egípcios tentaram fugir de dentro do mar, mas Yahweh lançou-os para o meio dele. BSB BSB: So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea returned to its normal state. As the Egyptians were retreating, the LORD swept them into the sea.
28 ULB As águas voltaram e cobriram as carruagens, os cavaleiros de Faraó e seu exército inteiro que tinha seguido as carruagens até o mar. Ninguém sobreviveu. BSB BSB: The waters flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had chased the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived.
29 ULB No entanto os israelitas caminharam por terra seca no meio do mar. As águas eram uma muralha para eles, tanto do lado direito quanto do esquerdo. BSB BSB: But the Israelites had walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left.
30 ULB Assim Yahweh livrou Israel das mãos dos egípcios naquele dia, e Israel viu os corpos deles à beira-mar. BSB BSB: That day the LORD saved Israel from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the shore.
31 ULB Quando Israel viu o grande poder que Deus usou contra os egípcios, o povo honrou a Yahweh e confiou em Deus e em seu servo Moisés. BSB BSB: When Israel saw the great power that the LORD had exercised over the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD and believed in Him and in His servant Moses.
