出埃及記 11
1 耶和華對摩西說：「我再使一樣的災殃臨到法老和埃及，然後他必容你們離開這地。他容你們去的時候，總要催逼你們都從這地出去。
The LORD said to Moses, “I will bring yet one more plague on Pharaoh, and on Egypt; afterwards he will let you go. When he lets you go, he will surely thrust you out altogether.
2 你要傳於百姓的耳中，叫他們男女各人向鄰舍要金器銀器。」
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 耶和華叫百姓在埃及人眼前蒙恩，並且摩西在埃及地、法老臣僕，和百姓的眼中看為極大。
The LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover, the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants, and in the sight of the people.
4 摩西說：「耶和華這樣說：『約到半夜，我必出去巡行埃及遍地。
Moses said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘About midnight I will go out into the middle of Egypt,
5 凡在埃及地，從坐寶座的法老直到磨子後的婢女所有的長子，以及一切頭生的牲畜，都必死。
and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt 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 埃及遍地必有大哀號；從前沒有這樣的，後來也必沒有。
There will be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has not been, nor will be any more.
7 至於以色列中，無論是人是牲畜，連狗也不敢向他們搖舌，好叫你們知道耶和華是將埃及人和以色列人分別出來。』
But against any of the children of Israel a dog won’t even bark or move its tongue, against man or animal, that you may know that the LORD makes a distinction between the Egyptians and Israel.
8 你這一切臣僕都要俯伏來見我，說：『求你和跟從你的百姓都出去』，然後我要出去。」於是，摩西氣忿忿地離開法老，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 耶和華對摩西說：「法老必不聽你們，使我的奇事在埃及地多起來。」
The LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh won’t listen to you, that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.”
10 摩西、亞倫在法老面前行了這一切奇事；耶和華使法老的心剛硬，不容以色列人出離他的地。
Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go out of his land.
