Moses requests Rameses to let go all the slaves informing about the power of changing his shepherding staff into a snake. Hotep and Huy reiterate the transformation by bringing in many Gods of Egypt, but they are eaten by the snake created by Moses. Rameses hardens in demeanor and instructs to double up the work of the slaves. In the work field, Moses is confronted by an elder Hebrew worker and Aaron who blame Moses for the excess workload so put on them. At Rameses' orders, the guards rush to bring back Moses, but to their dismay, the water turns into blood. The nine plagues of Egypt take place though Moses feels hurt and tortured not willing to leave Rameses and Egypt. |
摩西請求拉美西斯釋放所有的奴隸;未果后,他顯示上帝的神力,將手杖變成了一條蛇。埃及的祭司也照作,借助埃及神靈的力量變出蛇,不過這些蛇都被摩西創(chuàng)造的蛇吞吃了。拉美西斯態(tài)度愈發(fā)強硬了,他下令要將這些奴隸的苦役加倍。在奴隸們勞作的地方,摩西遇到了亞倫和一位年長的希伯來奴工,他們都指責摩西給他們帶來了額外的工作量。拉美西斯下令讓侍衛(wèi)逮捕摩西,結(jié)果令他們驚恐的是,尼羅河的水變成了血。自此,埃及相繼遭遇了九災,盡管摩西備受傷害和折磨,并不愿離開拉美西斯和埃及。 |
Moses meets Rameses and warns him about the tenth plague but he asks Moses never to return to Egypt. At Moses' instructions, the Hebrews painted lamb's blood on their doors for the coming Passover night. God comes down to Egypt and kills all the firstborn kids of Egypt, including Rameses' son. Moses visits Rameses once again and this time, he agrees to free the Hebrews from his slavery. The next morning, the Hebrews are happy and set for the Red Sea. However, Rameses has yet again changed his mind and has asked his army to chase them. The Hebrews cross the Red Sea while a pillar of fire is build blocking the Egyptians from the Red Sea. |
摩西見到拉美西斯,向他警告這即將到來的第十災;可是拉美西斯卻斥令摩西永遠不要回埃及。按照摩西的指示,希伯來人將羔羊的血涂到他們的門上,以迎接即將到來的逾越節(jié)之夜。那天晚上,上帝降臨埃及,殺死了所有埃及人的長子,包括拉美西斯的兒子。摩西再次拜訪拉美西斯;這一次,他同意釋放希伯來人,解除他們的奴役。第二天早上,希伯來人興高采烈地向紅海進發(fā)??墒抢牢魉狗椿诹?,派軍隊前去追擊。巨大的火柱將埃及人與紅海分隔開來,于是希伯來人順利通過了紅海。 |
Hence, Moses is successful in getting liberation for the Israeli slaves from the Egyptians at the behest of God. Towards the end, Moses returns back and sadly murmurs 'good bye, Brother.' The final scene of the movie shows Moses descending from Mount Horeb with two stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments by God for the people to live by them. |
由此,摩西按照上帝的指示,成功幫助以色列奴隸解除了埃及人的奴役,獲得了自由。最后,摩西回來了,凄然低喃著“再見,兄弟”。影片最后一幕向我們展示的是,摩西從何烈山上下來,那里立著兩塊石碑,上面刻有上帝授予他的十誡,用以告誡人們要遵從這些誡條。
