Scene 1 · Beginner
Mose und Aaron sprechen für die Israeliten mit dem Pharao. Er ist der König von Ägypten und will die Israeliten nicht gehen lassen.
Moses and Aaron speak to Pharaoh on behalf of the Israelites. He is the king of Egypt and does not want to let the Israelites go.
Gott sagt zu Mose: „Geh morgen früh zum Pharao ans Flussufer. Nimm den Stab mit, der sich in eine Schlange verwandelt hat. Sag ihm: Lass mein Volk ziehen, damit es mir in der Wüste dienen kann.“
God says to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh at the riverbank early tomorrow morning. Take the staff that turned into a snake. Tell him, ‘Let my people go so that they can serve me in the wilderness.’”
Mose soll dem Pharao auch eine Warnung bringen. Das Wasser im Fluss wird sich in Blut verwandeln. Die Fische werden sterben, und der Fluss wird so stark stinken, dass die Ägypter sein Wasser nicht mehr trinken können. Daran soll der Pharao Gottes Macht erkennen.
Moses is also to bring Pharaoh a warning. The water in the river will turn to blood. The fish will die, and the river will stink so badly that the Egyptians will no longer be able to drink its water. Pharaoh is to recognize God’s power from this.
Dann soll Aaron seinen Stab über das Wasser in Ägypten halten. Überall soll das Wasser zu Blut werden, sogar in den Gefäßen aus Holz und Stein.
Then Aaron is to hold his staff over the water in Egypt. All the water is to turn to blood, even the water in containers made of wood and stone.
