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;
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 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.”
Waelekeze watu kwamba kila mwanaume na mwanamke amuulizie jirani yake vitu vya fedha na vitu vya dhahabu.”
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.
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 says, “Thus said YHWH: About midnight I am going out into the midst of Egypt,
Musa akasema, “Yahweh asema hivi: 'Wakati wa usiku wa manane nitaenda Misri yote.
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;
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 has been a great cry in all the land of Egypt, such as there has not been, and such as there is not again;
Kisha kutakuwa na kilio kikubwa nchi yote ya Misri, kama ambacho hakijawai wala hakitatokea tena.
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.
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 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.
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 YHWH says to Moses, “Pharaoh does not listen to you, so as to multiply My wonders 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 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.
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.
