Scene 1 · Beginner

Un avertissement au bord du fleuve

A warning at the river

French

Moïse et Aaron parlent pour les Israélites devant Pharaon, le roi d’Égypte. Mais celui-ci refuse de laisser partir le peuple. Dieu demande à Moïse de rencontrer Pharaon le lendemain matin, au bord du fleuve. Il doit prendre le bâton qui s’est changé en serpent.

English translation

Moses and Aaron speak on behalf of the Israelites before Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. But Pharaoh refuses to let the people go. God tells Moses to meet Pharaoh the next morning by the river. He must take the staff that turned into a snake.

French

Moïse devra annoncer que Dieu veut libérer son peuple pour qu’il le serve dans le désert. L’eau du fleuve va devenir du sang. Les poissons mourront et l’eau sentira si mauvais qu’on ne pourra plus la boire. Dieu demande aussi à Moïse de dire à Aaron d’étendre son bâton sur toutes les eaux d’Égypte.

English translation

Moses must announce that God wants to set his people free so they can serve him in the wilderness. The river water will turn to blood. The fish will die, and the water will smell so bad that no one will be able to drink it. God also tells Moses to tell Aaron to stretch his staff over all the waters of Egypt.

French

Elles deviendront du sang, même dans les récipients en bois et en pierre.

English translation

They will turn to blood, even the water in wooden and stone containers.
