| 1 O Senhor disse a Moisés: “Dize a Aarão: Estende a tua mão com a tua vara sobre os rios, os canais e os lagos, e faze subir as rãs sobre a terra do Egito”. | 1 The Lord also said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh, and you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord: Release my people in order to sacrifice to me. |
| 2 Aarão levantou a mão sobre as águas do Egito, e as rãs subiram e cobriram a terra. | 2 But if you are not willing to release them, behold, I will strike all your coasts with frogs. |
| 3 Os mágicos, porém, fizeram outro tanto com seus encantamentos: fizeram subir as rãs sobre a terra do Egito. | 3 And the river will seethe with frogs, which will go up and enter into your house, and your bedroom, and upon your bed, and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens, and into the remains of your foods. |
| 4 O faraó mandou chamar Moisés e Aarão: “Intercedei – disse-lhes ele – junto do Senhor, a fim de que afaste as rãs de mim e de meu povo, e deixarei partir o vosso povo para que ofereça sacrifícios ao Senhor”. | 4 And to you, and to your people, and to all your servants, the frogs will enter.’ ” |
| 5 Moisés respondeu-lhe: “Digna-te dizer-me quando é que devo interceder por ti, por teus servos e por teu povo, para que o Senhor afaste as rãs de tua pessoa e de tuas casas, de sorte que fiquem somente no rio”. | 5 And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Extend your hand over the rivers, and also over the streams and the marshes, and bring forth frogs over the land of Egypt.’ ” |
| 6 “Seja amanhã” – disse ele. Moisés replicou: “Será feito segundo o teu desejo, para que saibas que não há ninguém como o Senhor, nosso Deus. | 6 And Aaron extended his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. |
| 7 As rãs se afastarão de tua pessoa, de tuas habitações, de teus servos e de teu povo; e ficarão somente no Nilo”. | 7 Then the sorcerers also, by their incantations, did similarly, and they brought forth frogs upon the land of Egypt. |
| 8 Moisés e Aarão saíram da casa do rei e Moisés invocou o Senhor a respeito das rãs que enviara contra o faraó. | 8 But Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “Pray to the Lord, so as to take away the frogs from me and from my people. And I will release the people, so as to sacrifice to the Lord.” |
| 9 Fez o Senhor o que pedia Moisés: morreram as rãs nas casas, nas praças e nos campos. | 9 And Moses said to Pharaoh: “Appoint for me a time, when I should petition on behalf of you, and your servants, and your people, so that the frogs may be driven away from you, and from your house, and from your servants, and from your people, and so that they may remain only in the river.” |
| 10 Ajuntaram-nas em montões e o país ficou poluído com isso. | 10 And he responded, “Tomorrow.” Then he said, “I will act according to your word, so that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God. |
| 11 Mas, vendo o faraó que havia descanso, endureceu o coração; e, como o Senhor havia predito, não ouviu Moisés e Aarão. | 11 And the frogs will withdraw from you, and from your house, and from your servants, and from your people. And they will remain only in the river.” |
| 12 O Senhor disse a Moisés: “Dize a Aarão: Levanta a tua vara e fere o pó da terra para que se transforme em mosquitos em todo o Egito”. | 12 And Moses and Aaron departed from Pharaoh. And Moses cried out to the Lord on behalf of the promise that he had made to Pharaoh concerning the frogs. |
| 13 Fizeram assim: Aarão estendeu a mão com sua vara, e feriu o pó da terra: houve mosquitos sobre os homens e os animais. Toda a poeira da terra se transformou em mosquitos em todo o Egito. | 13 And the Lord acted according to the word of Moses. And the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields. |
| 14 Os mágicos, usando de seus encantamentos, tentaram produzir mosquitos, mas não o puderam. Os mosquitos ficavam sobre os homens e os animais. | 14 And they gathered them together into immense piles, and the land was polluted. |
| 15 Então os mágicos disseram ao faraó: “Isso é o dedo de Deus”. Mas o coração do faraó permaneceu endurecido e, como o Senhor havia predito, não ouviu Moisés e Aarão. | 15 Then Pharaoh, seeing that relief had been provided, hardened his own heart, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed. |
| 16 O Senhor disse a Moisés: “Irás amanhã de manhã apresentar-te diante do faraó, quando ele sair para ir à margem do rio, e lhe dirás: Eis o que diz o Senhor: Deixa partir o meu povo, para me prestar culto. | 16 And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Extend your staff and strike the dust of the earth. And let there be stinging insects throughout the entire the land of Egypt.’ ” |
| 17 Se recusares, mandarei moscas sobre tua pessoa, tua gente, teu povo, tuas casas: as casas dos egípcios serão todas invadidas por elas, bem como a terra em que moram. | 17 And they did so. And Aaron extended his hand, holding the staff, and he struck the dust of the earth, and there came stinging insects upon men and upon beasts. All the dust of the earth was turned into stinging insects through all the land of Egypt. |
| 18 Farei, porém, uma exceção naquele dia para a terra de Gessen, onde habita o meu povo. Ali não haverá moscas, para que saibas que eu, o Senhor, estou no meio da terra. | 18 And the sorcerers, with their incantations, did similarly, in order to bring forth stinging insects, but they were not able. And there were stinging insects, as much on men as on beasts. |
| 19 Farei, pois, uma distinção entre o meu povo e o teu. Amanhã terá lugar esse prodígio”. | 19 And the sorcerers said to Pharaoh: “This is the finger of God.” And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed. |
| 20 Assim fez o Senhor: surgiu na casa do faraó, e na de sua gente, uma multidão de moscas e todo o Egito foi devastado pelas moscas. | 20 The Lord also said to Moses: “Arise at first light, and stand in the sight of Pharaoh, for he will go out to the waters. And you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord: Release my people to sacrifice to me. |
| 21 Mandou então o faraó chamar Moisés e Aarão: “Ide – disse-lhes ele – oferecer sacrifícios ao vosso Deus, (mas) no país”. | 21 But if you will not release them, behold, I will send upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and into your houses, diverse kinds of flies. And the houses of the Egyptians will be filled with diverse kinds of flies, as well as the whole land in which they will be. |
| 22 Moisés respondeu: “Não convém que seja assim: os sacrifícios que oferecemos ao Senhor, nosso Deus, seriam uma abominação para os egípcios. Se oferecermos, sob os seus olhos, sacrifícios que lhes são abomináveis, não nos apedrejarão eles? | 22 And in that day, I will cause a miracle in the land of Goshen, where my people are, so that flies will not be there. And you will know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth. |
| 23 Havemos de ir ao deserto, a três dias de caminho, e ofereceremos (lá) sacrifícios ao Senhor, nosso Deus, conforme ele nos ordenou”. | 23 And I will set a division between my people and your people. Tomorrow this sign will be.’ ” |
| 24 “Consinto – replicou o faraó – em vos deixar partir: oferecereis sacrifícios ao Senhor, vosso Deus, no deserto; somente não ireis muito longe. Rogai por mim.” | 24 And the Lord did so. And there came very grievous flies into the houses of Pharaoh and of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt. And the land was polluted, in this way, by the flies. |
| 25 Moisés respondeu: “Logo que eu sair de tua casa, intercederei junto ao Senhor, e amanhã as moscas se afastarão do faraó, de seus servos e de seu povo. Somente não continue o faraó a nos enganar, recusando-se deixar ir o povo para oferecer sacrifícios ao Senhor”. | 25 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them, “Go and sacrifice to your God in this land.” |
| 26 Moisés saiu da casa do faraó. Rogou ao Senhor, | 26 And Moses said: “It cannot be so. For we will immolate the abominations of the Egyptians to the Lord our God. For if we slaughter those things which the Egyptians worship, in their presence, they will stone us. |
| 27 e fez o Senhor o que lhe era pedido: as moscas afastaram-se do faraó, de sua gente, de seu povo e não restou uma sequer. | 27 We will sojourn three days’ journey into the wilderness. And we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, just as he has instructed us.” |
| 28 Mas ainda esta vez endureceu o faraó o seu coração, e não deixou ir o povo. | 28 And Pharaoh said: “I will release you in order to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the desert. Yet you may only go so far. Petition for me.” |
| 29 And Moses said: “After departing from you, I will pray to the Lord. And the flies will withdraw from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow. Yet do not be willing to deceive any longer, so that you would not release the people to sacrifice to the Lord.” |
| 30 And Moses, departing from Pharaoh, prayed to the Lord. |
| 31 And he acted according to his word. And he took away the flies from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people. There was not even one left behind. |
| 32 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, so that, even at this turn, he would not release the people. |
