Scene 1 · Intermediate
Mose och Aron hade talat med farao, Egyptens kung, för israeliternas räkning. Men farao vägrade att släppa dem.
Moses and Aaron had spoken to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, on behalf of the Israelites. But Pharaoh refused to let them go.
”Möt farao vid flodstranden i morgon när han kommer ner till vattnet”, sa Gud till Mose. ”Ta med dig staven som blev en orm. Säg till honom att jag, Herren, hebréernas Gud, har sänt dig. Kräv att han släpper mitt folk, så att de kan tjäna mig i öknen. Han har ännu inte lyssnat.
“Meet Pharaoh by the riverbank tomorrow when he comes down to the water,” God said to Moses. “Take the staff that turned into a snake. Tell him that I, the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, have sent you. Demand that he let my people go so that they can serve me in the wilderness. He has not listened yet.”
Nu ska jag ge honom ett tecken så att han förstår att jag är Herren. När staven träffar vattnet i floden ska vattnet bli till blod. Fiskarna ska dö, och floden ska stinka så illa att egyptierna inte vill dricka ur den.”
“Now I will give him a sign so that he understands that I am the Lord. When the staff strikes the water in the river, the water will turn to blood. The fish will die, and the river will stink so badly that the Egyptians will not want to drink from it.”
Gud sa också att Aron skulle sträcka ut sin stav över Egyptens floder, bäckar och dammar. Vattnet skulle bli till blod i hela landet, till och med i kärl av trä och sten.
God also said that Aaron should stretch out his staff over Egypt’s rivers, streams, and pools. The water would turn to blood throughout the land, even in vessels of wood and stone.
