daß die Fische im Strom sterben sollen und der Strom stinken; und den Ägyptern wird ekeln, zu trinken das Wasser aus dem Strom.
Y los peces que hay en el río morirán, y hederá el río, y tendrán asco los Egipcios de beber el agua del río.
Los peces del Nilo morirán, el Nilo apestará y los egipcios no podrán beber agua del Nilo’”».
Les poissons qui sont dans le fleuve périront, le fleuve se corrompra, et les Egyptiens s'efforceront en vain de boire l'eau du fleuve.
E il pesce che è nel fiume morrà, e il fiume putirà; e gli Egizj si stancheranno per bere dell’acqua del fiume.
E os peixes, que estão no rio, morrerão, e o rio cheirará mal; e os egípcios terão nojo de beber da água do rio.
河裏的魚必死,河也要發臭, 埃及 人就厭惡喝這河裏的水。』」
