Scene 1 · Beginner
Moisés e Arão falavam pelos israelitas diante do faraó, o rei do Egito. Mas o faraó não queria deixar o povo sair do país.
Moses and Aaron spoke for the Israelites before Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. But Pharaoh did not want to let the people leave the country.
Deus mandou Moisés encontrar o faraó na manhã seguinte, perto do rio. Moisés devia levar o cajado, o bastão que tinha se transformado em cobra, e dar este aviso ao rei: — O Senhor, o Deus dos hebreus, me enviou ao senhor. Ele quer que o senhor deixe seu povo partir para servi-lo no deserto. O senhor não quis ouvir.
God told Moses to meet Pharaoh the next morning, near the river. Moses was to take the staff—the rod that had turned into a snake—and give the king this warning: “The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you. He wants you to let his people go so they can serve him in the wilderness. You refused to listen.”
Agora a água do rio vai virar sangue. Os peixes morrerão, o rio terá um cheiro ruim e os egípcios não conseguirão beber essa água. Assim o senhor saberá quem é Deus.
“Now the river water will turn to blood. The fish will die, the river will stink, and the Egyptians will not be able to drink this water. Then you will know who God is.”
Deus também mandou Arão estender a mão com seu cajado sobre as águas do Egito. A água dos rios, dos lagos e até dos recipientes de madeira e de pedra se transformaria em sangue.
God also told Aaron to stretch out his hand with his staff over the waters of Egypt. The water in the rivers, the lakes, and even the wooden and stone containers would turn to blood.
