2 Mosebog 11
1 Derpaa sagde HERREN til Moses: »Een Plage endnu vil jeg lade komme over Farao og Ægypterne, og efter den skal han lade eder rejse herfra; ja, naar han lader eder rejse med alt, hvad I har, skal han endog drive eder herfra!
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 Sig nu til Folket, at hver Mand skal bede sin Nabo, og hver Kvinde sin Naboerske om Sølv— og Guld-smykker!«
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 Og HERREN stemte Ægypterne gunstigt imod Folket, og desuden var den Mand Moses højt anset i Ægypten baade hos Faraos Tjenere og hos Folket.
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 Moses sagde: »Saa siger HERREN: Ved Midnatstid vil jeg drage igennem Ægypten,
Moses [Drawn out] said, “This is what Adonai says: ‘About midnight I will go out into the middle of Egypt [Abode of slavery],
5 og saa skal alle førstefødte i Ægypten dø, lige fra den førstefødte hos Farao, der skal arve hans Trone, til den førstefødte hos Trælkvinden, der arbejder ved Haandkværnen, og alt det førstefødte af Kvæget.
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 Da skal der i hele Ægypten lyde et Klageskrig saa stort, at dets Lige aldrig har været hørt og aldrig mere skal høres.
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 Men end ikke en Hund skal bjæffe ad nogen af Israeliterne, hverken ad Folk eller Fæ, for at du kan kende, at HERREN gør Skel mellem Ægypterne og Israel.
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 Da skal alle dine Tjenere der komme ned til mig og kaste sig til Jorden for mig og sige: Drag dog bort med alt det Folk, der følger dig! Og saa vil jeg drage bort!« Og han gik ud fra Farao med fnysende Vrede.
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 Men HERREN sagde til Moses: »Farao skal ikke høre paa eder, for at mine Undergerninger kan blive talrige i Ægypten.«
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 Og Moses og Aron gjorde alle disse Undergerninger i Faraos Paasyn, men HERREN forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, saa han ikke lod Israeliterne drage ud af sit Land.
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.
