出埃及記 11
1 上主對梅瑟說：「還有一種災禍，我要降在法朗和埃及人身上，以後他必要釋放你們離開此地；他釋放你們的時候，是驅逐你們離開此地。
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Yet one plague more will I bring on Pharaoh, and on Egypt [Abode of slavery]; afterwards he will surely divorce you and let you go. When he casts you out, he will surely divorce you out altogether.
2 你要講給百姓聽，叫他們男女各向自己的鄰舍要求金銀之物。」
Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man ask of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.”
3 上主使百姓在埃及人前蒙恩，同時梅瑟在埃及國，在法朗的臣僕和百姓眼中，也成了偉大的人物。
Adonai gave the people chen ·grace· in the sight of the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery]. Moreover the man Moses [Drawn out] was very great in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants, and in the sight of the people.
4 梅瑟說：「上主這樣說：半夜時，我要走遍埃及。
Moses [Drawn out] said, “This is what Adonai says: ‘About midnight I will go out into the middle of Egypt [Abode of slavery],
5 凡埃及國，從坐寶位的法朗的長子，直到推磨的婢女的長子，以及牲畜的一切頭胎，都要死亡。
and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the female servant who is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of livestock.
6 埃及全國要有大哀號，是從前沒有，以後也不會再有的哀號。
There shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], such as there has not been, nor shall be any more.
7 至於以色列子民，連狗也不敢向他們和他們的牲畜吠叫，為叫你們知道，上主已將以色列子民和埃及人分開，
But against any of the children of Israel [God prevails] a dog won’t even bark or move its tongue, against man or animal; that you may know that Adonai makes a distinction between the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] and Israel [God prevails].
8 以後你的這些臣僕全都要到我跟前，跪下哀求我說：你和那跟從你的百姓都去罷! 然後我才離去。」梅瑟氣憤憤地離開法郎出去了。
All these servants of yours will come down to me, and bow down themselves to me, saying, “Get out, with all the people who follow you;” and after that I will go out.’” He went out from Pharaoh in hot anger.
9 上主對梅瑟說：「法朗不聽從你們，使我的奇蹟在埃及國多起來。」
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Pharaoh won’t sh'ma ·hear obey· you, that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].”
10 梅瑟和亞郎在法朗面前行了這些奇蹟；但是上主使法朗的心硬，仍不肯放以色列子民離開自己的國家。
Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] did all these wonders before Pharaoh, and Adonai hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he didn’t let the children of Israel [God prevails] go out of his land.
