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。
Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Yet one plague, will I bring in upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt, after that, he will let you go from hence, —when he doth let you go, he will, altogether drive, you out from hence.
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, I pray you, in the ears of the people, —and let them ask—every man of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, articles of silver and articles 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。
And Yahweh gave the people favour, in the eyes of the Egyptians, —even the man Moses himself, was exceeding great in the land of Egypt, —in the eyes of Pharaoh’s servants and in the eyes of the people.
4 梅瑟說：「上主這樣說：半夜時，我要走遍埃及。
And Moses said, Thus saith Yahweh, —About midnight, am, I, going forth in the midst of Egypt;
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。
then shall every firstborn in the land of Egypt die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne, unto the firstborn of the handmaid who is behind the two millstones, —and every firstborn of beasts;
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。
then shall there be a great outcry, in all the land of Egypt, —such, as never was and, such, as shall not be again.
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 none of the sons of Israel, shall a dog sharpen his tongue, neither against man nor beast, —that ye may know that Yahweh maketh a difference between Egypt and Israel.
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。
So shall all these thy servants come down unto me and bow themselves down to me saying—Go forth, thou and all the people who are in thy footsteps, and after that, will I go forth. And he went forth from Pharaoh, in a heat of 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。」
And Yahweh had said unto Moses, Pharaoh will not hearken unto you, —that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
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。
So then, Moses and Aaron, did all these wonders before Pharaoh, —but Yahweh let Pharaoh’s heart wax bold, and he did not let the sons of Israel go out of his land.
