Exodus 11

1 Jehovah said to Moses, "Yet one plague more will I bring on Pharaoh, and on Egypt; afterwards he will let you go. When he lets you go, he will surely thrust you out altogether.

耶和华对摩西说：“我再使一样的灾殃临到法老和埃及，然后他必容你们离开这地。他容你们去的时候，总要催逼你们都从这地出去。

2 Speak now in the hearing of the people, and let them ask every man of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing."

你要传于百姓的耳中，叫他们男女各人向邻舍要金器银器。”

3 Jehovah 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.

耶和华叫百姓在埃及人眼前蒙恩，并且摩西在埃及地、法老臣仆，和百姓的眼中看为极大。

4 And Moses said, "This is what Jehovah says: 'About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt,

摩西说：“耶和华这样说：‘约到半夜，我必出去巡行埃及遍地。

5 and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the female servant who is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of livestock.

凡在埃及地，从坐宝座的法老直到磨子后的婢女所有的长子，以及一切头生的牲畜，都必死。

6 There shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has not been, nor shall be any more.

埃及遍地必有大哀号；从前没有这样的，后来也必没有。

7 But against any of the children of Israel a dog won't even bark or move its tongue, against man or animal; that you may know that Jehovah makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.

至于以色列中，无论是人是牲畜，连狗也不敢向他们摇舌，好叫你们知道耶和华是将埃及人和以色列人分别出来。’

8 All these your servants shall come down to me, and bow down themselves to me, saying, "Get out, with all the people who follow you;" and after that I will go out.'" He went out from Pharaoh in hot anger.

你这一切臣仆都要俯伏来见我，说：‘求你和跟从你的百姓都出去’，然后我要出去。”于是，摩西气忿忿地离开法老，出去了。

9 Jehovah said to Moses, "Pharaoh won't listen to you, that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt."

耶和华对摩西说：“法老必不听你 们，使我的奇事在埃及地多起来。”

10 Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, and Jehovah hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.

摩西、亚伦在法老面前行了这一切奇事；耶和华使法老的心刚硬，不容以色列人出离他的地。
