Exodus 11
1 And the Lord said unto Moses, Yet one plague more will I bring upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; after that he will let you go hence: when he doth let you go, he shall surely thrust you out altogether from here.
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 them ask every man of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, vessels of silver, and vessels 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 eyes of the Egyptians; also the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the eyes of Pharaoh's servants, and in the eyes 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 hath said the Lord, About midnight will I go out in the midst of Egypt:
Kwa hiyo Mose akasema, “Hili ndilo Bwana asemalo: ‘Panapo usiku wa manane Mimi nitapita katika nchi yote ya Misri.
5 And there shall die every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh that is to sit upon his throne, even unto the first-born of the maid-servant that is behind the mill; and every first-born of cattle.
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, the like of which hath never been, and the like of which will not be 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 not a dog shall move his tongue, neither against man nor beast; in order that ye may know how that the Lord doth distinguish 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 thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow themselves down unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that followeth thee; and after that I will go out: and he went out from Pharaoh in a burning 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 unto Moses, Pharaoh will not hearken unto you; in order 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, and he did 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.
