< Exodus 11 >

1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “I will cause one more disaster to strike the king of Egypt and all his people [MTY]. After that, he will let you leave. In fact, he will expel you all.
Alò SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Yon malè anplis Mwen va fè rive sou Farawon, ak sou Égypte; apre sa li va kite nou sòti isit la. Lè li kite nou ale, anverite li va pouse nou ale sòti isit la nèt.
2 So now speak to all the [Israeli] people. Tell them to ask all their [Egyptian] neighbors, both men and women, to give them some silver and gold jewelry.”
Pale koulye a pou tout moun tande, ke chak gason mande vwazin li, e chak fanm vwazen pa li pou kèk bagay fèt an ajan ak bagay ki fèt an lò.”
3 Yahweh made the Egyptians highly respect the Israeli people. In particular, the Egyptian officials and all [the rest of] the people considered Moses/me to be a very great man.
SENYÈ a te bay pèp la favè nan zye Ejipsyen yo. Anplis nonm nan, Moïse te byen estime nan peyi Égypte la, ni nan zye sèvitè a Farawon yo, ni nan zye a moun yo.
4 Then Moses/I [went to the king and] said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘About midnight [tonight] I will go throughout Egypt,
Moïse te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Vè minwit M ap prale nan mitan Égypte la.
5 and I will cause all the firstborn/oldest [sons] to die. That will include your oldest son, the oldest sons of the slave women who grind grain, [and the oldest sons of everyone else]. I will also kill the oldest males of the Egyptians’ livestock.
Epi tout nan premye ne nan peyi Égypte yo va mouri, soti nan premye ne Farawon ki chita sou twòn li a, jiska premye ne nan fi esklav ki dèyè wòch moulen yo; menm tout nan premye ne nan bèt yo tou.
6 When that happens, people all over Egypt will wail loudly. They have never wailed like that before, and they will never wail like that again.
Anplis de sa, va gen yon gran kri lamantasyon jan li pa t genyen avan, ak jan li p ap janm genyen ankò.
7 But among the Israeli people [it will be so quiet that] not even a dog will bark! Then you will know for sure that I, Yahweh, distinguish [how I act toward] the Egyptians and [how I act toward] the Israeli people.
Men kont fis Israël yo, menm yon chen p ap jape, ni kont moun ni kont bèt, pou nou kapab konprann, jan SENYÈ a fè yon distenksyon antre Égypte avèk Israël.
8 Then all these officials of yours will come and bow down before me and will say, “Please get out [of Egypt], you and all the Israeli people!”’ After that, I will leave Egypt!” [After Moses/I said that], he/I very angrily left the king.
“‘Tout sa yo, sèvitè pa w yo va vin bese ba devan m, e yo va di: ‘Ale deyò, ou menm avèk tout moun ki swiv ou yo, e apre sa, mwen va ale deyò.’” Epi li te sòti devan Farawon, ranpli avèk kòlè e byen cho.
9 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The king will not pay any attention to what you say. The result will be that I will perform more plagues in the land of Egypt.”
Alò SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Farawon p ap koute ou, pou mèvèy Mwen yo kapab vin miltipliye nan peyi Égypte la.”
10 Aaron and Moses/I performed all these miracles in front of the king, but Yahweh made the king stubborn, and he did not let the Israeli people leave his country.
Moïse avèk Aaron te fè tout mèvèy sa yo devan Farawon; malgre sa, SENYÈ a te fè kè l di, e li pa t kite fis Israël yo sòti deyò peyi li a.
