Exodus 11
1 And the Lord said to Moses: “I will touch Pharaoh and Egypt with one more plague, and after these things he will release you, and he will compel you to go out.
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!
2 Therefore, you will tell all the people to ask, a man of his friend, and a woman of her neighbor, for vessels of silver and of gold.
Sig nu til Folket, at hver Mand skal bede sin Nabo, og hver Kvinde sin Naboerske om Sølv— og Guld-smykker!«
3 Then the Lord will grant favor to his people in the sight of the Egyptians.” And Moses was a very great man in the land of Egypt, in the sight of the servants of Pharaoh and of all the people.
Og HERREN stemte Ægypterne gunstigt imod Folket, og desuden var den Mand Moses højt anset i Ægypten baade hos Faraos Tjenere og hos Folket.
4 And he said: “Thus says the Lord: ‘In the middle of the night I will enter into Egypt.
Moses sagde: »Saa siger HERREN: Ved Midnatstid vil jeg drage igennem Ægypten,
5 And every firstborn in the land of the Egyptians shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the handmaid, who is at the millstone, and all the firstborn of the beasts of burden.
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.
6 And there will be a great outcry throughout the entire land of Egypt, such as has not been before, nor ever will be afterward.
Da skal der i hele Ægypten lyde et Klageskrig saa stort, at dets Lige aldrig har været hørt og aldrig mere skal høres.
7 But among all the sons of Israel there shall not be even a mutter from a dog, from man, even to cattle, so that you may know how miraculously the Lord divides the Egyptians from Israel.’
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.
8 And all these, your servants, shall descend to me and shall reverence me, by saying: ‘Depart, you and all the people who are subject to you.’ After these things, we will depart.”
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.
9 And he went out from Pharaoh exceedingly angry. Then the Lord said to Moses: “Pharaoh will not listen to you, so that many signs may be accomplished in the land of Egypt.”
Men HERREN sagde til Moses: »Farao skal ikke høre paa eder, for at mine Undergerninger kan blive talrige i Ægypten.«
10 Now Moses and Aaron did all the wonders that are written, in the sight of Pharaoh. And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh; neither did he release the sons of Israel from his land.
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.
