1 D isse o Senhor a Moisés:

Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 F ala 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.

“Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn and camp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal Zephon; you shall camp before it by the sea.

3 E ntão Faraó dirá dos filhos de Israel: Eles estão embaraçados na terra, o deserto os encerrou.

For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are bewildered by the land; the wilderness has closed them in.’

4 E u 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.

Then I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, so that he will pursue them; and I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.

5 Q uando, 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?

Now it was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people; and they said, “Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?”

6 E Faraó aprontou o seu carro, e tomou consigo o seu povo;

So he made ready his chariot and took his people with him.

7 t omou também seiscentos carros escolhidos e todos os carros do Egito, e capitães sobre todos eles.

Also, he took six hundred choice chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt with captains over every one of them.

8 P orque o Senhor endureceu o coração de Faraó, rei do Egito, e este perseguiu os filhos de Israel; pois os filhos de Israel saíam afoitamente.

And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went out with boldness.

9 O s 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.

So the Egyptians pursued them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea beside Pi Hahiroth, before Baal Zephon.

10 Q uando 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:

And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were very afraid, and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord.

11 e 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?

Then they said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt?

12 N ão 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.

Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.”

13 M oisés, 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;

And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.

14 o Senhor pelejará por vós; e vós vos calareis.

The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”

15 E ntão disse o Senhor a Moisés: Por que clamas a mim? dize aos filhos de Israel que marchem.

And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.

16 E 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.

But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

17 E is 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.

And I indeed will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them. So I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen.

18 E os egípcios saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando me tiver glorificado em Faraó, nos seus carros e nos seus cavaleiros.

Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gained honor for Myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”

19 E ntão 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,

And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them.

20 c olocando-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.

So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night.

21 E ntão 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.

Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided.

22 E os filhos de Israel entraram pelo meio do mar em seco; e as águas foram-lhes qual muro ã sua direita e ã sua esquerda.

So the 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.

23 E 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.

And the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

24 N a vigília da manhã, o Senhor, na coluna do fogo e da nuvem, olhou para o campo dos egípcios, e alvoroçou o campo dos egípcios;

Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the Lord looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He troubled the army of the Egyptians.

25 e mbaraçou-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.

And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.”

26 N isso 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.

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”

27 E ntão 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.

And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

28 A s 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.

Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained.

29 M as os filhos de Israel caminharam a pé enxuto pelo meio do mar; as águas foram-lhes qual muro ã sua direita e ã sua esquerda.

But the children of Israel had 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.

30 A ssim o Senhor, naquele dia, salvou Israel da mão dos egípcios; e Israel viu os egípcios mortos na praia do mar.

So the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.

31 E 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.

Thus Israel saw the great work which the Lord had done in Egypt; so the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord and His servant Moses.
