CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINSAGRADA BIBLIA
1 He also said to Moses: “Ascend to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy elders out of Israel, and adore from a distance.1 Deus disse a Moisés: "Sobe para o Senhor, com Aarão, Nadab e Abiú e setenta anciãos de Israel, e prostrai-vos à distância.
2 And only Moses will ascend to the Lord, and these shall not approach. Neither shall the people ascend with him.”2 Só Moisés se aproximará do Senhor, e não os outros, e o povo não subirá com ele."
3 Therefore, Moses went and explained to the people all the words of the Lord, as well as the judgments. And all the people responded with one voice: “We will do all the words of the Lord, which he has spoken.”3 Moisés veio referir ao povo todas as palavras do Senhor, e todas as suas leis; e o povo inteiro respondeu a uma voz: "Faremos tudo o que o Senhor disse."
4 Then Moses wrote all the words of the Lord. And rising up in the morning, he built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve titles according to the twelve tribes of Israel.4 E Moisés escreveu todas as palavras do Senhor. No dia seguinte, de manhã, edificou um altar ao pé da montanha e levantou doze estelas para as doze tribos de Israel.
5 And he sent youths from the sons of Israel, and they offered holocausts, and they immolated calves as peace-offerings to the Lord.5 Enviou jovens dentre os israelitas, os quais ofereceram holocaustos e sacrifícios ao Senhor e imolaram touros em sacrifícios pacíficos.
6 And so Moses took one half part of the blood, and he put it into bowls. Then the remaining part he poured over the altar.6 Moisés tomou a metade do sangue para metê-lo em bacias, e derramou a outra metade sobre o altar.
7 And taking up the book of the covenant, he read it in the hearing of the people, who said: “All that the Lord has spoken, we will do, and we will be obedient.”7 Tomou o livro da aliança e o leu ao povo, que respondeu: "Faremos tudo o que o Senhor disse e seremos obedientes."
8 In truth, taking up the blood, he sprinkled it on the people, and he said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has formed with you concerning all these words.”8 Moisés tomou o sangue para aspergir com ele o povo: "Eis, disse ele, o sangue da aliança que o Senhor fez convosco, conforme tudo o que foi dito."
9 And Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel ascended.9 Moisés subiu, com Aarão, Nadab e Abiú, e setenta anciãos de Israel.
10 And they saw the God of Israel. And under his feet was something like a work of sapphire stone, or like the sky, when it is serene.10 Eles viram o Deus de Israel. Sob os seus pés havia como um lajeado de safiras transparentes, tão límpido como o próprio céu.
11 Neither did he lay his hand upon those of the sons of Israel who were at a distance. And they saw God, and they ate and drank.11 Sobre os eleitos dos israelitas, Deus não estendeu a mão. Viram Deus, e depois comeram e beberam.
12 Then the Lord said to Moses: “Ascend to me on the mountain, and be there. And I will give to you tablets of stone, and the law and the commandments that I have written. So may you teach them.”12 O Senhor disse a Moisés: "Sobe para mim no monte. Ficarás ali para que eu te dê as tábuas de pedra, a lei e as ordenações que escrevi para sua instrução."
13 Moses rose up, with Joshua his minister. And Moses, ascending on the mountain of God,13 Moisés levantou-se com Josué, seu auxiliar, e subiu o monte de Deus.
14 said to the elders: “Wait here, until we return to you. You have Aaron and Hur with you. If any question arises, you shall refer it to them.”14 E disse aos anciãos: "Esperai-nos aqui até que voltemos. Tendes convosco Aarão e Hur. Se alguém tiver um litígio, dirigir-se-á a eles."
15 And when Moses had ascended, a cloud covered the mountain.15 Moisés subiu ao monte. A nuvem cobriu o monte
16 And the glory of the Lord dwelt upon Sinai, covering it with a cloud for six days. And on the seventh day, he called to him from the middle of the mist.16 e a glória do Senhor repousou sobre o monte Sinai, que ficou envolvido na nuvem durante seis dias. No sétimo dia, o Senhor chamou Moisés do seio da nuvem.
17 Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a burning fire over the summit of the mountain in the sight of the sons of Israel.17 Aos olhos dos israelitas a glória do Senhor tinha o aspecto de um fogo consumidor sobre o cume do monte.
18 And Moses, entering into the midst of the cloud, ascended the mountain. And he was there for forty days and forty nights.18 Moisés penetrou na nuvem e subiu a montanha. Ficou ali quarenta dias e quarenta noites.
