Scene 1 · Intermediate
Moisés e Arão falavam ao faraó, rei do Egito, em nome dos israelitas. Mas o rei continuava se recusando a deixar o povo partir.
Moses and Aaron spoke to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, on behalf of the Israelites. But the king continued to refuse to let the people leave.
Deus disse a Moisés: — O faraó está decidido a não ceder. Amanhã de manhã, quando ele for até a água, espere por ele à margem do rio.
God said to Moses: “Pharaoh is determined not to give in. Tomorrow morning, when he goes down to the water, wait for him on the riverbank.”
Leve o cajado que se transformou em cobra e transmita esta mensagem: “O Senhor, o Deus dos hebreus, me enviou ao senhor para pedir que deixe o povo dele partir para servi-lo no deserto. Até agora, o senhor não quis ouvir. Por isso, Deus transformará as águas do rio em sangue. Assim, o senhor saberá quem ele é.
“Take the staff that turned into a snake and deliver this message: ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you to ask you to let his people leave to serve him in the wilderness. So far, you have refused to listen. That is why God will turn the river water into blood. Then you will know who he is.’”
Os peixes morrerão, a água ficará com um cheiro horrível e os egípcios terão nojo de bebê-la.”
“‘The fish will die, the water will smell terrible, and the Egyptians will be disgusted at the thought of drinking it.’”
Deus também mandou Moisés dizer a Arão que estendesse a mão com seu cajado sobre as águas do Egito. Rios, riachos, lagoas e reservatórios se transformariam em sangue. Até a água guardada em recipientes de madeira e de pedra seria atingida.
God also told Moses to tell Aaron to stretch out his hand with his staff over the waters of Egypt. Rivers, streams, ponds, and reservoirs would turn to blood. Even water stored in wooden and stone containers would be affected.
