Exodus 7

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 And the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, I have appointed you as the god of Pharaoh. And Aaron, your brother, will be your prophet.	1 O Senhor disse a Moisés: "Vê: vou fazer de ti um deus para o faraó, e teu irmão Aarão será teu profeta.
2 You will speak to him all that I command you. And he will speak to Pharaoh, so that he may release the sons of Israel from his land.	2 Dirás tudo o que eu te mandar, e teu irmão Aarão falará ao rei para que ele deixe sair de sua terra os israelitas.
3 But I will harden his heart, and I will multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,	3 Mas eu endurecerei o coração do faraó, e multiplicarei meus sinais e meus prodígios no Egito.
4 and he will not listen to you. And I will send my hand over Egypt, and I will lead my army and my people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt, through very great judgments.	4 Ele não vos ouvirá. Então estenderei minha mão sobre o Egito e farei sair dele os meus exércitos, meu povo, os israelitas, com uma grandiosa manifestação de justiça.
5 And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord, who has extended my hand over Egypt, and who has led the sons of Israel from their midst.”	5 Os egípcios saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando eu estender a mão sobre o Egito e fizer sair dele os israelitas."
6 And so, Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had instructed. And so it was done.	6 Moisés e Aarão fizeram o que o Senhor tinha ordenado, e obedeceram.
7 Now Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharaoh.	7 Moisés tinha oitenta anos e Aarão oitenta e três, quando falaram ao faraó.
8 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron:	8 O Senhor disse a Moisés e a Aarão:
9 “When Pharaoh will say to you, ‘Show signs,’ you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff, and cast it down before Pharaoh, and it will be turned into a snake.’ ”	9 "Se o faraó vos pedir um prodígio, tu dirás a Aarão: toma tua vara e joga-a diante do faraó; ela se tornará uma serpente".
10 And so Moses and Aaron entered to Pharaoh, and they did just as the Lord had commanded. And Aaron took the staff in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants, and it was turned into a snake.	10 Tendo Moisés e Aarão chegado à presença do faraó, fizeram o que o Senhor tinha ordenado. Aarão jogou sua vara diante do rei e de sua gente, e ela se tornou uma serpente.
11 Then Pharaoh called the wise men and the sorcerers. And they also, by Egyptian incantations and certain secrets, did similarly.	11 Mas o faraó, mandando vir os sábios, os encantadores e os mágicos, estes fizeram o mesmo com os seus encantamentos:
12 And each one cast down their staffs, and they were turned into serpents. But the staff of Aaron devoured their staffs.	12 jogaram cada um suas varas, que se transformaram em serpentes. Mas a vara de Aarão engoliu as deles.
13 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.	13 Entretanto, como o Senhor o havia anunciado, endureceu-se o coração do faraó e ele não quis ouvi-los.
14 Then the Lord said to Moses: “The heart of Pharaoh has been hardened; he is not willing to release the people.	14 O Senhor disse a Moisés: "O faraó endureceu o coração: ele se obstina em não querer deixar partir o povo.
15 Go to him in the morning; behold, he will go out to the waters. And you will stand to meet him above the bank of the river. And you will take, in your hand, the staff that was turned into a serpent.	15 Vai procurá-lo amanhã cedo, no momento em que ele sair para ir à margem do rio; esperá-lo-ás à beira do Nilo, tomarás na mão a vara que se mudou em serpente,
16 And you will say to him: ‘The Lord God of the Hebrews sent me to you, saying: Release my people in order to sacrifice to me in the desert. And even until the present time, you were not willing to listen.	16 e dir-lhe-ás: o Senhor, o Deus dos hebreus, mandou-me a ti para dizer-te: deixa ir o meu povo, para que me preste culto no deserto. Até agora não me escutaste.
17 Therefore, thus says the Lord: In this you will know that I am the Lord. Behold, I will strike, with the staff that is in my hand, the water of the river, and it will be turned into blood.	17 Eis o que diz o Senhor: nisto reconhecerás que eu sou o Senhor: vou ferir as águas do Nilo com a vara que tenho na mão e elas se mudarão em sangue.
18 Also, the fishes that are in the river will die, and the waters will be polluted, and the Egyptians will be afflicted when they drink the water of the river.’ ”	18 Os peixes do Nilo morrerão, o rio tornar-se-á infecto e os egípcios terão nojo insuportável de beber suas águas."
19 The Lord also said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Take your staff; and extend your hand over the waters of Egypt, and over their rivers and streams and marshes and all the pools of waters, so that they may be turned into blood. And let there be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, as much in vessels of wood as in those of stone.’ ”	19 O Senhor disse a Moisés: "Dize a Aarão: toma a tua vara e estende a mão sobre as águas do Egito, sobre os seus rios e seus canais, sobre seus lagos e seus reservatórios, para que essas águas se tornem sangue. Haverá sangue em todo o Egito, assim nos recipientes de madeira como nos de pedra".
20 And Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had instructed. And lifting up the staff, he struck the water of the river in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants. And it was turned into blood.	20 Moisés e Aarão obedeceram à ordem do Senhor. Sob os olhos do faraó e de sua gente, Aarão levantou sua vara e feriu a água do Nilo, que se mudou toda em sangue.
21 And the fishes that were in the river died, and the river was polluted, and the Egyptians were not able to drink the water of the river, and there was blood throughout the entire land of Egypt.	21 Morreram os peixes do Nilo, e o rio tornou-se tão infecto que os egípcios não podiam beber de suas águas. Houve sangue em todo o Egito.
22 And the sorcerers of the Egyptians, with their incantations, did similarly. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.	22 Mas os mágicos do Egito, fizeram outro tanto com seus encantamentos; o coração do faraó permaneceu endurecido e, como o Senhor havia predito, ele não ouviu Moisés e Aarão.
23 And he turned himself away, and he entered his house, neither did he apply his heart to this turn of events.	23 Voltou e entrou em sua casa sem mais se cuidar do acontecido.
24 Then all the Egyptians dug along the borders of the river for water to drink. For they were not able to drink from the water of the river.	24 Todos os egípcios cavaram o solo nas proximidades do Nilo procurando água potável, porque não se podia beber a água do rio.
25 And seven days were completed, after the Lord struck the river.	25 Sete dias se passaram depois que o Senhor feriu o Nilo.
