Exodus 11
1 YHWH 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.
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 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."
Waambie watu wote waume kwa wake wawaombe majirani zao vitu vya fedha na vya dhahabu.”
3 YHWH 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.
(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, "This is what YHWH says: 'About midnight I will go out into 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 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.
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 There shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has not been, nor shall 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 a dog won't even bark or move its tongue, against man or animal; that you may know that YHWH makes a distinction between Egypt 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 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.
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 YHWH said to Moses, "Pharaoh won't listen to you, 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 Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, and YHWH 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.
