Êxodo 19

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 No terceiro mês depois de sua saída do Egito, naquele dia, os israelitas entraram no deserto do Sinai.	1 In the third month of the departure of Israel from the land of Egypt, in that day, they arrived in the wilderness of Sinai.
2 Tendo partido de Rafidim, chegaram ao deserto do Sinai, onde acamparam. Ali se estabeleceu Israel em frente ao monte.	2 Thus, setting out from Raphidim, and going directly to the desert of Sinai, they encamped in the same place, and there Israel pitched their tents away from the region of the mountain.
3 Moisés subiu em direção a Deus, e o Senhor o chamou do alto da montanha nestes termos: "Eis o que dirás à família de Jacó, eis o que anunciarás aos filhos de Israel:	3 Then Moses ascended to God. And the Lord called to him from the mountain, and he said: “This you shall say to the house of Jacob, and announce to the sons of Israel:
4 vistes o que fiz aos egípcios, e como vos tenho trazido sobre asas de águia para junto de mim.	4 ‘You have seen what I have done to the Egyptians, in what way I carried you upon the wings of eagles and how I have taken you for myself.
5 Agora, pois, se obedecerdes à minha voz, e guardardes minha aliança, sereis o meu povo particular entre todos os povos. Toda a terra é minha,	5 If, therefore, you will hear my voice, and you will keep my covenant, you will be to me a particular possession out of all people. For all the earth is mine.
6 mas vós me sereis um reino de sacerdotes e uma nação consagrada. Tais são as palavras que dirás aos israelitas."	6 And you will be to me a priestly kingdom and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you will speak to the sons of Israel.”
7 Veio Moisés e, convocando os anciãos do povo, comunicou-lhes as palavras que o Senhor lhe ordenara repetir.	7 Moses went, and calling together those greater by birth among the people, he set forth all the words which the Lord had commanded.
8 E todo o povo respondeu a uma voz: "Faremos tudo o que o Senhor disse." Moisés referiu ao Senhor as palavras do povo.	8 And all the people responded together: “Everything that the Lord has spoken, we shall do.” And when Moses had related the words of the people to the Lord,
9 Então o Senhor lhe disse: "Eis que me vou aproximar de ti na obscuridade de uma nuvem, a fim de que o povo ouça quando eu te falar, e para que também confie em ti para sempre." E Moisés referiu as palavras do povo ao Senhor,	9 the Lord said to him: “Soon now, I will come to you in the mist of a cloud, so that the people may hear me speaking to you, and so that they may believe you continuously.” Therefore, Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord,
10 o qual lhe disse: "Vai ter com o povo, e santifica-o hoje e amanhã. Que lavem as suas vestes	10 who said to him: “Go to the people, and sanctify them today, and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments.
11 e estejam prontos para o terceiro dia, porque, depois de amanhã, o Senhor descerá à vista de todo o povo sobre o monte Sinai.	11 And let them be prepared on the third day. For on the third day, the Lord will descend, in the sight of all the people, over Mount Sinai.
12 Fixarás ao redor limites ao povo, e dir-lhe-ás: guardai-vos de subir o monte ou de tocar a sua base! Se alguém tocar o monte, será morto.	12 And you will establish limits for the people all around, and you will say to them: ‘Take care not to ascend to the mountain, and that you do not touch its parts. All who touch the mountain, shall die a death.’
13 Não se lhe tocará com a mão, mas ele será apedrejado ou perecerá pelas flechas: homem ou animal, não ficará vivo. Quando soar a trombeta, {somente então} subirão eles ao monte".	13 Hands shall not touch him, but he shall be crushed with stones, or he shall be pierced through with darts. Whether it be a beast or a man, he shall not live. For when the trumpet begins to sound, perhaps they might go up toward the mountain.”
14 Moisés desceu do monte para junto do povo e o santificou; e lavaram as suas vestes.	14 And Moses came down from the mountain to the people, and he sanctified them. And when they had washed their garments,
15 Em seguida, disse-lhes: "Estai prontos para depois de amanhã, não vos aproximeis de mulher alguma".	15 he said to them, “Be prepared on the third day, and do not draw near to your wives.”
16 Na manhã do terceiro dia, houve um estrondo de trovões e de relâmpagos; uma espessa nuvem cobria a montanha e o som da trombeta soou com força. Toda a multidão que estava no acampamento tremia.	16 And now, the third day arrived and the morning dawned. And behold, thunders began to be heard, and also lightning flashed, and a very dense cloud covered the mountain, and the noise of the trumpet resounded vehemently. And the people who were in the camp were fearful.
17 Moisés levou o povo para fora do acampamento ao encontro de Deus, e pararam ao pé do monte.	17 And when Moses had led them out to meet God, from the place of the camp, they stood at the base of the mountain.
18 Todo o monte Sinai fumegava, porque o Senhor tinha descido sobre ele no meio de chamas; o fumo que subia do monte era como a fumaça de uma fornalha, e toda a montanha tremia com violência.	18 Then all of Mount Sinai was smoking. For the Lord had descended over it with fire, and smoke ascended from it, as from a furnace. And the entire mountain was terrible.
19 O som da trombeta soava ainda mais forte; Moisés falava e os trovões divinos respondiam-lhe.	19 And the sound of the trumpet gradually increased to be louder, and extended to be longer. Moses was speaking, and God was answering him.
20 O Senhor desceu sobre o cume do monte Sinai; e chamou Moisés ao cume do monte. Moisés subiu,	20 And the Lord descended over Mount Sinai, to the very top of the mountain, and he called Moses to its summit. And when he had ascended there,
21 e o Senhor lhe disse: "Desce e proíbe expressamente o povo de precipitar-se para ver o Senhor, para que não morra um grande número deles.	21 he said to him: “Descend, and call the people to witness, lest they might be willing to transgress the limits, so as to see the Lord, and a very great multitude of them might perish.
22 Também os sacerdotes, que são autorizados e se aproximar do Senhor, santifiquem-se, para que o Senhor não os fira."	22 Likewise, the priests who approach toward the Lord, let them be sanctified, lest he strike them down.”
23 Moisés respondeu ao Senhor: "O povo não poderia subir o monte Sinai, pois vós no-lo ordenastes expressamente, dizendo: fixa limites ao redor do monte, e declara-o sagrado."	23 And Moses said to the Lord: “The people are not able to ascend to Mount Sinai. For you testified, and you commanded, saying: ‘Set limits around the mountain, and sanctify it.’ ”
24 "Vai, disse-lhe o Senhor, desce. Subirás em seguida com Aarão; porém, não ultrapassem os limites os sacerdotes e o povo ao subir junto do Senhor, para não acontecer que ele os fira."	24 And the Lord said to him, “Go, descend. And you shall ascend, and Aaron with you. But let not the priests or the people transgress the limits, nor ascend to the Lord, lest perhaps he may put them to death.”
25 Moisés desceu então ao povo e falou-lhe.	25 And Moses descended to the people, and he explained everything to them.
