< Exodus 11 >

1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “I will bring upon Pharaoh and Egypt one more plague. After that, he will allow you to leave this place. And when he lets you go, he will drive you out completely.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻOku toe taha pe ʻae tautea te u ʻomi kia Felo mo ʻIsipite; hili ia, te ne tuku ke mou ʻalu ʻi heni: pea ka fekau ia ke mou ʻalu, ko e moʻoni te ne kapusi ʻakimoutolu ke ʻalu kotoa pē ʻi heni.
2 Now announce to the people that men and women alike should ask their neighbors for articles of silver and gold.”
Ke ke lea ʻi he telinga ʻoe kakai, pea tuku ke nau kole taki taha ʻae tangata ʻi hono kaungāʻapi, mo e fefine kotoa pē ʻi hono kaungāʻapi, ʻae ngaahi teunga siliva, mo e teunga koula.”
3 And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover, Moses himself was highly regarded in Egypt by Pharaoh’s officials and by the people.
Pea naʻe fakaʻofeina ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite. Kae muʻa hake foki, naʻe ongoongo lahi ʻaupito ʻae tangata ko Mōsese ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Felo, pea mo e ʻao ʻoe kakai.
4 So Moses declared, “This is what the LORD says: ‘About midnight I will go throughout Egypt,
Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, ‘ʻE feʻunga mo e tuʻuapō te u ʻalu atu ki he lotolotonga ʻo ʻIsipite:
5 and every firstborn son in the land of Egypt will die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, to the firstborn of the servant girl behind the hand mill, as well as the firstborn of all the cattle.
Pea ʻe mate ʻae ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he ʻuluaki fānau ʻa Felo ʻoku nofo ʻi hono nofoʻanga, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻuluaki fānau ʻae kaunanga ʻoku muimui ʻi he meʻa momosi; pea mo e ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻoe fanga manu.
6 Then a great cry will go out over all the land of Egypt. Such an outcry has never been heard before and will never be heard again.
Pea ʻe ai ʻae tangi lahi ʻi he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai hano tatau ʻi muʻa, pea ʻe ʻikai toe ai ha meʻa pehē.
7 But among all the Israelites, not even a dog will snarl at man or beast.’ Then you will know that the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.
Ka ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻe ʻikai ha kulī ʻe taha ke ne ueʻi hono ʻelelo ki ai, ki ha tangata pe ki ha manu: koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo kuo fai kehekehe ʻe Sihova ki he kakai ʻIsipite mo e kakai ʻIsileli.’”
8 And all these officials of yours will come and bow before me, saying, ‘Go, you and all the people who follow you!’ After that, I will depart.” And hot with anger, Moses left Pharaoh’s presence.
Pea ko kinautolu ni ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē, te nau ʻalu hifo kiate au, ʻonau punou hifo ʻakinautolu kiate au, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke ʻalu koe, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoku muimui ʻiate koe; pea hili ia, te u ʻalu kituaʻā.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ia kituaʻā meia Felo ʻoku ʻita lahi.
9 The LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh will not listen to you, so that My wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.”
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻE ʻikai tokanga ʻa Felo kiate kimoua: koeʻuhi ke fakalahi ai ʻeku ngaahi meʻa mana ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite.”
10 Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart so that he would not let the Israelites go out of his land.
Pea naʻe fai ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻae ngaahi mana ni kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo: pea naʻe fakafefeka ʻe Sihova ʻae loto ʻo Felo, ko ia naʻe ʻikai te ne tukuange ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke ʻalu mei hono fonua.
