Êxodo 18
LEB: The Lexham English Bible (SM_LEB) vs VC
1 And Jethro, the priest of Midian, the father-in-law of Moses, heard all that God had done for Moses and for Israel, his people, that Yahweh had brought Israel out from Egypt.
1 Jetro, sacerdote de Madiã, sogro de Moisés, soube de tudo o que Deus tinha feito por Moisés e por Israel, seu povo; e soube que o Senhor tinha feito sair Israel do Egito.
2 And Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, took Zipporah the wife of Moses after her sending away,
2 Jetro, sogro de Moisés, tomou consigo Séfora, mulher de Moisés, que tinha sido mandada para casa,
3 and her two sons—the one whose name was Gershom, for he had said, “I have been an alien in a foreign land,”
3 assim como seus dois filhos, dos quais um se chamava Gerson, porque Moisés tinha dito: "Sou um peregrino em uma terra estrangeira."
4 and the one whose name was Eliezer, for “the God of my father was my help, and he delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.”
4 e o outro chamava-se Eliezer, porque ele tinha dito: "O Deus de meu pai socorreu-me e fez-me escapar à espada do faraó."
5 And Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, came and his sons and his wife to Moses, to the desert where he was camping there at the mountain of God.
5 Jetro, sogro de Moisés, com os dois filhos e a mulher deste, veio procurá-lo no deserto, onde estava acampado, perto da montanha de Deus.
6 And he said to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you and your wife and her two sons with her.”
6 E mandou-lhe dizer: "Teu sogro Jetro vem te ver, acompanhado de tua mulher e de teus dois filhos".
7 And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and he bowed, and he kissed him, and ⌞they each asked about the other’s welfare⌟, and they came into the tent.
7 Moisés saiu ao encontro de seu sogro, prostrou-se e beijou-o. Informaram-se mutuamente sobre a sua saúde e entraram na tenda.
8 And Moses told his father-in-law all that Yahweh had done to Pharaoh and to Egypt on account of Israel, all the hardship that had found them on the way, and how Yahweh delivered them.
8 Moisés contou ao seu sogro tudo o que o Senhor tinha feito ao faraó e aos egípcios por causa de Israel, todas as tribulações que lhes tinham sobrevindo no caminho, e das quais o Senhor os livrara.
9 And Jethro rejoiced over all the good that Yahweh had done for Israel when he delivered them from the hand of Egypt.
9 Jetro alegrou-se com todo o bem que o Senhor tinha feito aos israelitas, livrando-os da mão dos egípcios.
10 And Jethro said, “Blessed be Yahweh, who has delivered you from the hand of Egypt and from the hand of Pharaoh—who has delivered the people from under the hand of Egypt.
10 "Bendito seja o Senhor, disse Jetro, que vos livrou da mão dos egípcios e da mão do faraó; que livrou o povo da mão dos egípcios!
11 Now I know that Yahweh is greater than all the gods, ⌞even in the matter where they the Egyptians dealt arrogantly against the Israelites⌟.”
11 Agora sei que o Senhor é maior que todos os deuses, porque o demonstrou quando {seu povo} era tiranizado".
12 And Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God, and Aaron and all the elders of Israel came to eat bread with the father-in-law of Moses before God.
12 Em seguida Jetro, sogro de Moisés, ofereceu a Deus um holocausto e sacrifícios. Aarão e todos os anciãos de Israel vieram ter com o sogro de Moisés para tomar parte no banquete em presença de Deus.
13 ⌞And⌟ the next day, Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood before Moses from the morning until the evening.
13 No dia seguinte, Moisés assentou-se para fazer justiça ao povo, que se conservou de pé diante dele desde a manhã até a tarde.
14 And the father-in-law of Moses saw all that he was doing for the people, and he said, “What is this thing that you are doing for the people? Why are you sitting alone and all the people are standing by you from morning until evening?”
14 O sogro de Moisés, vendo todo o trabalho a que ele se dava pelo povo, disse-lhe: "Que é isso que fazes com o povo? Por que te sentas só no tribunal com toda essa gente que se conserva em torno de ti da manhã à tarde?"
15 And Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to seek God.
15 "É que, respondeu Moisés, o povo vem a mim para consultar Deus.
16 When ⌞they have an issue⌟, it comes to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor, and I make known God’s rule and his instructions.”
16 Quando têm alguma questão, vêm procurar-me para que eu julgue entre eles, fazendo-lhes saber as ordens de Deus e suas leis".
17 And the father-in-law of Moses said to him, “The thing that you are doing is not good.
17 O sogro de Moisés disse-lhe: "Não está certo o que fazes!
18 Surely you will wear out, both you and this people who are with you, because the thing is too ⌞difficult⌟ for you. You are not able to do it alone.
18 Tu te esgotarás seguramente, assim como todo esse povo que está contigo, porque o fardo é pesado demais para ti, e não poderás levá-lo sozinho.
19 Now listen to my voice; I will advise you, and may God be with you. You be for the people before God, and you bring the issues to God.
19 Escuta-me: vou dar-te um conselho, e que Deus esteja contigo! Tu serás o representante do povo junto de Deus, e levarás as questões diante de Deus:
20 And you warn them of the rules and the instructions, and you make known to them the way in which they must walk and the work that they must do.
20 ensinar-lhes-ás suas ordens e suas leis, e lhes mostrarás o caminho a seguir e como terão de comportar-se.
21 And you will select from all the people men of ability, fearers of God, trustworthy men, haters of dishonest gain, and you will appoint such men over them as commanders of thousands, commanders of hundreds, commanders of fifties, and commanders of tens.
21 Mas escolherás do meio do povo homens prudentes, tementes a Deus, íntegros, desinteressados, e os porás à frente do povo, como chefes de mil, chefes de cem, chefes de cinqüenta e chefes de dezenas.
22 And let them judge the people all the time, ⌞and⌟ every major issue they will bring to you, and every minor issue they will judge themselves. And so lighten it for yourself, and they will bear it with you.
22 Eles julgarão o povo todo o tempo. Levarão a ti as causas importantes, mas resolverão por si mesmos as causas de menor importância. Assim aliviarão a tua carga, levando-a consigo.
23 If you will do this thing and God will command you, then you will be able to endure, and also each of the people will go to his home in peace.”
23 Se fizeres isso, e Deus o ordenar, poderás dar conta do trabalho, e toda esta gente voltará em paz para suas habitações.
24 And Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law, and he did all that he had said.
24 Moisés ouviu o conselho de seu sogro e fez tudo o que ele lhe tinha dito.
25 And Moses chose men of ability from all Israel, and he appointed them as heads over the people, as commanders of thousands, commanders of hundreds, commanders of fifties, and commanders of tens.
25 Escolheu em todo o Israel homens prudentes e os pôs à frente do povo como chefes de mil, chefes de cem, chefes de cinqüenta e chefes de dezenas.
26 And they judged the people all the time; the difficult issues they would bring to Moses, and every minor issue they would judge themselves.
26 Eles julgavam o povo todo o tempo, levando diante de Moisés as questões difíceis e resolvendo por si mesmos os litígios menores.
27 And Moses let his father-in-law go, and he went to his land.
27 Depois disso, Moisés despediu-se de seu sogro, e este voltou para sua terra.
