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.
Kisha Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Bado kuna pigo moja nitalo lileta kwa Farao na Misri. Baada ya hilo, atakuacha uondoke hapa. Atakapo kuachia uende, ata kuondoa kabisa.
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.
Waelekeze watu kwamba kila mwanaume na mwanamke amuulizie jirani yake vitu vya fedha na vitu vya dhahabu.”
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.)
Sasa Yahweh aliwafanya Wamisri kuwa na shauku ya kuwapendeza Waisraeli. Aidha, Musa alikuwa wakuvutia sana machoni pa watumishi wa Farao na watu wa Misri.
4 Also Moses sayde, Thus sayth the Lord, About midnight will I goe out into the middes of Egypt.
Musa akasema, “Yahweh asema hivi: 'Wakati wa usiku wa manane nitaenda Misri yote.
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.
Wazaliwa wa kwanza wote wa nchi ya Misri watakufa, kuanzia mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Farao, anaye keti kiti chake cha enzi, mpaka mzaliwa wa kwanza wa misichana mtumwa anaye saga mbegu, na kwa wazaliwa wa kwanza wa mifugo.
6 Then there shalbe a great crie throughout all the land of Egypt, such as was neuer none like, nor shalbe.
Kisha kutakuwa na kilio kikubwa nchi yote ya Misri, kama ambacho hakijawai wala hakitatokea tena.
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.
Lakini ata mbwa hata bweka kwa watu wa Israeli, dhidi ya mtu au mnyama. Kwa hili utajuwa kuwa nina watendea Wamisri na Waisraeli tofauti.'
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.
Watumishi wote hawa wako, Farao, watakuja chini yangu na kunisujudu mimi. Watasema, 'Nenda, wewe na watu wote wanao kufuata!' Baada ya hapo nitaondoka.” Kisha akaondoka mbele ya Farao kwa hasira kubwa.
9 And the Lord saide vnto Moses, Pharaoh shall not heare you, that my wonders may bee multiplied in the land of Egypt.
Yahweh akamwambia Musa, Farao hatakusikiliza. Hii ni ili nifanye mambo ya ajabu katika nchi ya Misri.”
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.
Musa na Aruni wakafanya mambo haya ya kushangaza mbele za Farao. Lakini Yahweh aliufanya moyo wa Farao mgumu, na Farao hakuwaacha watu wa Israeli kuondoka katika nchi yake.
