Exodus 11

1 Now the Lord had saide vnto Moses, yet will I bring one plague more vpon Pharaoh, and vpon Egypt: after that, he will let you go hence: when he letteth you goe, he shall at once chase you hence.

上主對梅瑟說：「還有一種災禍，我要降在法朗和埃及人身上，以後他必要釋放你們離開此地；他釋放你們的時候，是驅逐你們離開此地。

2 Speake thou nowe to the people, that euery man require of his neighbour, and euery woman of her neighbour iewels of siluer and iewels of gold.

你要講給百姓聽，叫他們男女各向自己的鄰舍要求金銀之物。」

3 And the Lord gaue the people fauour in the sight of the Egyptians: also Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaohs seruantes, and in the sight of the people.)

上主使百姓在埃及人前蒙恩，同時梅瑟在埃及國，在法朗的臣僕和百姓眼中，也成了偉大的人物。

4 Also Moses sayde, Thus sayth the Lord, About midnight will I goe out into the middes of Egypt.

梅瑟說：「上主這樣說：半夜時，我要走遍埃及。

5 And all the first borne in the lande of Egypt shall die, from the first borne of Pharaoh that sitteth on his throne, vnto the first borne of the maide seruant, that is at the mille, and all the first borne of beastes.

凡埃及國，從坐寶位的法朗的長子，直到推磨的婢女的長子，以及牲畜的一切頭胎，都要死亡。

6 Then there shalbe a great crie throughout all the land of Egypt, such as was neuer none like, nor shalbe.

埃及全國要有大哀號，是從前沒有，以後也不會再有的哀號。

7 But against none of ye children of Israel shall a dogge moue his tongue, neyther against man nor beast, that ye may knowe that the Lord putteth a difference betweene the Egyptians and Israel.

至於以色列子民，連狗也不敢向他們和他們的牲畜吠叫，為叫你們知道，上主已將以色列子民和埃及人分開，

8 And all these thy seruants shall come downe vnto me, and fal before me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that are at thy feete, and after this will I depart. So he went out from Pharaoh very angry.

以後你的這些臣僕全都要到我跟前，跪下哀求我說：你和那跟從你的百姓都去罷! 然後我才離去。」梅瑟氣憤憤地離開法郎出去了。

9 And the Lord saide vnto Moses, Pharaoh shall not heare you, that my wonders may bee multiplied in the land of Egypt.

上主對梅瑟說：「法朗不聽從你們，使我的奇蹟在埃及國多起來。」

10 So Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: but the Lord hardened Pharaohs heart, and he suffred not the children of Israel to goe out of his lande.

梅瑟和亞郎在法朗面前行了這些奇蹟；但是上主使法朗的心硬，仍不肯放以色列子民離開自己的國家。
