Exodus 11
1 And YHWH says to Moses, “One more plague I bring in on Pharaoh and on Egypt, afterward he sends you away from this; when he is sending you away, he surely casts you out from this [place] altogether;
Derpaa sagde HERREN til Moses: »Een Plage endnu vil jeg lade komme over Farao og Ægypterne, og efter den skal han lade eder rejse herfra; ja, naar han lader eder rejse med alt, hvad I har, skal han endog drive eder herfra!
2 now speak in the ears of the people, and they ask—each man from his neighbor, and each woman from her neighbor—[for] vessels of silver and vessels of gold.”
Sig nu til Folket, at hver Mand skal bede sin Nabo, og hver Kvinde sin Naboerske om Sølv— og Guld-smykker!«
3 And YHWH gives the grace of the people in the eyes of the Egyptians; also the man Moses [is] very great in the land of Egypt, in the eyes of the servants of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of the people.
Og HERREN stemte Ægypterne gunstigt imod Folket, og desuden var den Mand Moses højt anset i Ægypten baade hos Faraos Tjenere og hos Folket.
4 And Moses says, “Thus said YHWH: About midnight I am going out into the midst of Egypt,
Moses sagde: »Saa siger HERREN: Ved Midnatstid vil jeg drage igennem Ægypten,
5 and every firstborn in the land of Egypt has died, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne, to the firstborn of the maidservant who [is] behind the millstones, and all the firstborn of beasts;
og saa skal alle førstefødte i Ægypten dø, lige fra den førstefødte hos Farao, der skal arve hans Trone, til den førstefødte hos Trælkvinden, der arbejder ved Haandkværnen, og alt det førstefødte af Kvæget.
6 and there has been a great cry in all the land of Egypt, such as there has not been, and such as there is not again;
Da skal der i hele Ægypten lyde et Klageskrig saa stort, at dets Lige aldrig har været hørt og aldrig mere skal høres.
7 and against all the sons of Israel a dog does not sharpen its tongue, from man even to beast, so that you know that YHWH makes a separation between the Egyptians and Israel.
Men end ikke en Hund skal bjæffe ad nogen af Israeliterne, hverken ad Folk eller Fæ, for at du kan kende, at HERREN gør Skel mellem Ægypterne og Israel.
8 And all these servants of yours have come down to me, and bowed themselves to me, saying, Go out, you and all the people who [are] at your feet; and afterward I go out”; and he goes out from Pharaoh in the heat of anger.
Da skal alle dine Tjenere der komme ned til mig og kaste sig til Jorden for mig og sige: Drag dog bort med alt det Folk, der følger dig! Og saa vil jeg drage bort!« Og han gik ud fra Farao med fnysende Vrede.
9 And YHWH says to Moses, “Pharaoh does not listen to you, so as to multiply My wonders in the land of Egypt”;
Men HERREN sagde til Moses: »Farao skal ikke høre paa eder, for at mine Undergerninger kan blive talrige i Ægypten.«
10 and Moses and Aaron have done all these wonders before Pharaoh, and YHWH strengthens Pharaoh’s heart, and he has not sent the sons of Israel out of his land.
Og Moses og Aron gjorde alle disse Undergerninger i Faraos Paasyn, men HERREN forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, saa han ikke lod Israeliterne drage ud af sit Land.
