Izlazak 11

1 “Još ću samo jednom nedaćom udariti faraona i Egipat”, reče Jahve Mojsiju. “Poslije toga pustit će vas odavde. I više: sam će vas odavde potjerati.

And the LORD said to Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go from here: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out from here altogether.

2 Kaži svijetu neka svaki čovjek ište od svoga susjeda i svaka žena od svoje susjede srebrnih i zlatnih dragocjenosti.”

Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man ask of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.

3 Jahve učini te Egipćani bijahu naklonjeni narodu. Sam Mojsije postane vrlo uvažen u egipatskoj zemlji, u očima faraonovih službenika i u očima naroda.

And the LORD gave the people favour 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 A onda Mojsije navijesti: “Ovako poručuje Jahve: 'O ponoći proći ću Egiptom.

And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:

5 Svaki će prvorođenac u egipatskoj zemlji umrijeti, od prvorođenca faraonova, koji bi imao sjediti na njegovu prijestolju, do prvorođenca ropkinje koja se nalazi uz mlinski kamen; a uginut će i sve prvine od stoke.

And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even to the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.

6 U svoj će zemlji egipatskoj nastati veliki jauk, kakva nije bilo niti će kad poslije biti.

And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there hath been none like it, nor shall be like it any more.

7 Među Izraelcima ni pas neće zalajati na živo stvorenje: ni na čovjeka ni na životinju.' Po tome ćete znati da Jahve luči Izraelca od Egipćanina.

But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.

8 Onda će svi ovi tvoji dvorani k meni doći, preda me se baciti i vikati: Nosi se i ti i sav puk koji za tobom ide! Poslije toga ću otići.” I gnjevan ode od faraona.

And all these thy servants shall come down to me, and bow down themselves to me, saying, Depart thou, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will depart. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.

9 “Neće vas faraon poslušati”, reče Jahve Mojsiju, “a to da bi se umnožila moja znamenja u zemlji egipatskoj.”

And the LORD said to Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken to you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.

10 Mojsije i Aron izveli su sva ta znamenja pred faraonom, ali je Jahve okorio srce faraonu, tako te on nije puštao Izraelaca da odu iz njegove zemlje.

And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel depart from his land.
