Exodus 11
1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go behind: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out behind altogether.
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 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver and jewels of gold.
Waelekeze watu kwamba kila mwanaume na mwanamke amuulizie jirani yake vitu vya fedha na vitu vya dhahabu.”
3 And the LORD gave the people favour 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.
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 And Moses said, Thus says the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:
Musa akasema, “Yahweh asema hivi: 'Wakati wa usiku wa manane nitaenda Misri yote.
5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sits upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
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 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.
Kisha kutakuwa na kilio kikubwa nchi yote ya Misri, kama ambacho hakijawai wala hakitatokea tena.
7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that all of you may know how that the LORD does put a difference between 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 your servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto 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.
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 said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
Yahweh akamwambia Musa, Farao hatakusikiliza. Hii ni ili nifanye mambo ya ajabu 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.
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.
