Exodus 11
1 And the LORD said to Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more on Pharaoh, and on Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.
Basi Bwana alikuwa amemwambia Mose, “Nitaleta pigo moja zaidi kwa Farao na katika nchi ya Misri. Baada ya hilo, atawaacha mwondoke hapa na atakapofanya hivyo, atawafukuza mtoke kabisa.
2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver and jewels of gold.
Waambie watu wote waume kwa wake wawaombe majirani zao vitu vya fedha na vya dhahabu.”
3 And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants, and in the sight of the people.
(Bwana akawafanya Wamisri wawe na moyo wa ukarimu kwa Waisraeli, naye Mose mwenyewe akaheshimiwa sana na maafisa wa Farao na watu wote katika nchi ya Misri.)
4 And Moses said, Thus says the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the middle of Egypt:
Kwa hiyo Mose akasema, “Hili ndilo Bwana asemalo: ‘Panapo usiku wa manane Mimi nitapita katika nchi yote ya Misri.
5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
Kila mwanaume kifungua mimba katika Misri atakufa, kuanzia mzaliwa wa kwanza wa kiume wa Farao, aketiye penye kiti cha ufalme, hadi mzaliwa wa kwanza wa kiume wa mtumwa wa kike, anayesaga nafaka kwa jiwe, pamoja na kila mzaliwa wa kwanza wa mifugo.
6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
Patakuwepo kilio kikubwa katika nchi yote ya Misri, kilio kibaya ambacho hakijakuwepo wala kamwe hakitakuwepo tena.
7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that you may know how that the LORD does put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
Lakini miongoni mwa Waisraeli hakuna hata mbwa atakayembwekea mwanadamu wala mnyama yeyote.’ Ndipo mtakapojua kuwa Bwana huweka tofauti kati ya Misri na Israeli.
8 And all these your servants shall come down to me, and bow down themselves to me, saying, Get you out, and all the people that follow you: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.
Maafisa hawa wako wote watanijia, wakisujudu mbele yangu, wakisema, ‘Ondoka, wewe pamoja na watu wako wote wanaokufuata!’ Baada ya haya nitaondoka.” Kisha Mose, huku akiwa amewaka hasira, akamwacha Farao.
9 And the LORD said to Moses, Pharaoh shall not listen to you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
Bwana alikuwa amemwambia Mose, “Farao atakataa kukusikiliza, ili maajabu yangu yapate kuongezeka katika nchi ya Misri.”
10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
Mose na Aroni wakafanya maajabu haya yote mbele ya Farao, lakini Bwana akaufanya moyo wa Farao kuwa mgumu, wala hakuwaachia Waisraeli waondoke katika nchi yake.
