< Exodus 11 >
1 The Lord told Moses, “There's one last plague I will bring down on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that he will let you go, but when he does, he'll expel every one of you from the country.
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Še eno nadlogo več bom privedel nad faraona in nad Egipt, potem vam bo pustil oditi. Ko vam bo pustil oditi, vas bo zagotovo vse skupaj sunil od tod.
2 Now go and tell the Israelites, both men and women, to ask their Egyptian neighbors for silver and gold objects.”
Govori torej v ušesa ljudstvu in naj si vsak mož izposodi od svojega soseda in vsaka ženska od svoje sosede dragocenosti iz srebra in dragocenosti iz zlata.«
3 The Lord made the Egyptians look favorably on the Israelites. In fact, Moses himself was highly respected in Egypt by both Pharaoh's officials and the ordinary people.
Gospod je dal ljudstvu naklonjenost v očeh Egipčanov. Poleg tega je bil človek Mojzes zelo velik v egiptovski deželi, v očeh faraonovih služabnikov in v očeh ljudstva.
4 Moses said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Around midnight I will go through the whole of Egypt.
Mojzes je rekel: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Okoli polnoči bom odšel ven, v sredo Egipta.
5 Every firstborn son in the land of Egypt will die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh sitting on his throne to the firstborn of the servant girl working with a handmill, as well as all the firstborn of the cattle.
Vsi prvorojenci v egiptovski deželi bodo umrli, od faraonovega prvorojenca, ki sedi na njegovem prestolu, celo do prvorojenca dekle, ki je za mlinom in vse prvorojeno od živali.
6 There will be loud cries of mourning all over Egypt, such as have never been before, and will never be again.
Veliko vpitje bo po vsej egiptovski deželi, kot takšnega tam ni bilo niti ne bo več podobnega temu.
7 But among all the Israelites there won't even be the sound of a dog barking at them or their animals. That way you will know that the Lord distinguishes between Egypt and Israel.’
Toda zoper kateregakoli izmed Izraelovih otrok niti pes ne bo premaknil svojega jezika, zoper človeka ali žival, da boste lahko vedeli, kako Gospod postavlja razliko med Egipčani in Izraelom.‹
8 All your officials will come to me, bowing down before me and saying, ‘Leave, and take everyone who follows you with you!’ After that I will leave.” Moses was very angry, and left Pharaoh.
Vsi ti tvoji služabniki bodo prišli dol k meni in se mi priklonili, rekoč: ›Pojdi ven ti in vse ljudstvo, ki ti sledi.‹ In potem bom šel ven.« In od faraona je odšel v veliki jezi.
9 The Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh is refusing to listen to you so I can do even more miracles in Egypt.”
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Faraon vama ne bo prisluhnil, da bodo moji čudeži lahko pomnoženi v egiptovski deželi.«
10 Moses and Aaron did these miracles before Pharaoh, but the Lord gave Pharaoh a stubborn attitude, and he wouldn't let the Israelites leave his country.
Mojzes in Aron sta vse te čudeže storila pred faraonom, Gospod pa je zakrknil faraonovo srce, tako da ta ne bi pustil Izraelovih otrok oditi ven iz svoje dežele.
