Scene 1 · Beginner
Mosè e Aronne parlano al faraone, il re d'Egitto, a nome degli Israeliti. Ma il faraone non vuole lasciar partire il popolo.
Moses and Aaron speak to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, on behalf of the Israelites. But Pharaoh does not want to let the people leave.
Dio dice a Mosè di aspettare il faraone al mattino, sulla riva del fiume. Mosè deve portare il bastone che prima è diventato un serpente e dare al re questo messaggio: «Il Signore, il Dio degli Ebrei, vuole che il suo popolo parta per servirlo nel deserto. Finora non hai ascoltato. Ora l'acqua del fiume diventerà sangue.
God tells Moses to wait for Pharaoh by the riverbank in the morning. Moses must bring the staff that had earlier turned into a snake and give the king this message: “The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, wants his people to leave and serve him in the wilderness. So far, you have not listened. Now the river water will turn to blood.”
I pesci moriranno e gli Egiziani non potranno più bere quell'acqua».
“The fish will die, and the Egyptians will no longer be able to drink that water.”
Poi Dio ordina a Mosè di parlare con Aronne. Aronne deve alzare il bastone e stendere la mano sulle acque d'Egitto. L'acqua diventerà sangue in tutto il paese, anche nei recipienti di legno e di pietra.
Then God orders Moses to speak with Aaron. Aaron must raise the staff and stretch out his hand over the waters of Egypt. The water will turn to blood throughout the country, even in wooden and stone containers.
