< Exodus 11 >

1 The LORD 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.
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Ngisezakwehlisela kuFaro lakulo iGibhithe inhlupheko eyodwa; emva kwalokho uzaliyekela lihambe lisuke lapha; ekuliyekeleni kwakhe lihambe uzalixotsha lokulixotsha lisuka lapha ngokupheleleyo.
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."
Ake ukhulume endlebeni zabantu, ukuthi bacele, ngulowo kumakhelwane wakhe, lalowo owesifazana kumakhelwane wakhe, izinto zesiliva lezinto zegolide.
3 The LORD 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.
INkosi yasinika abantu umusa emehlweni amaGibhithe. Futhi indoda uMozisi waba mkhulu kakhulu elizweni leGibhithe emehlweni enceku zikaFaro lemehlweni esizwe.
4 And Moses said, "This is what the LORD says: 'About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt,
UMozisi wasesithi: Itsho njalo iNkosiithi: Phose phakathi kobusuku ngizaphuma ngiye phakathi kweGibhithe;
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.
lawo wonke amazibulo elizweni leGibhithe azakufa, kusukela kuzibulo likaFaro elizahlala esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi, kuze kube kuzibulo lencekukazi engemva kwelitshe lokuchola, lamazibulo wonke ezifuyo.
6 There shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has not been, nor shall be any more.
Njalo kuzakuba khona isililo esikhulu elizweni lonke leGibhithe, esingazanga sibe khona esinjengaso, lesingayikuba khona futhi esinjengaso.
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 the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.
Kodwa lakubo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli inja kayiyikulola ulimi lwayo, kusukela emuntwini kusiya ezifuyweni, ukuze lazi ukuthi iNkosi iyehlukanisa phakathi kweGibhithe loIsrayeli.
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.
Lazo zonke izinceku zakho lezi zizakwehlela kimi, zingikhothamele zisithi: Phuma wena lesizwe sonke esikulandelayo. Langemva kwalokho ngizaphuma. Wasephuma kuFaro ekuvutheni kolaka.
9 The LORD said to Moses, "Pharaoh won't listen to you, that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt."
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: UFaro kayikulizwa, ukuze zande izimangaliso zami elizweni leGibhithe.
10 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.
OMozisi loAroni basebesenza zonke lezizimangaliso phambi kukaFaro, kodwa iNkosi yenza inhliziyo kaFaro yaba lukhuni, kazabayekela abantwana bakoIsrayeli baphume elizweni lakhe.
