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.
Zvino Jehovha akanga ati kuna Mozisi, “Ndichauyisa rimwezve dambudziko pamusoro paFaro napamusoro peIjipiti. Shure kwaizvozvo, achakutenderai kubva muno, uye paanozviita, achakudzingirai kunze zvachose.
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.”
Udza vanhu kuti varume navakadzi, pamwe chete, vakumbire vavakidzani vavo zvishongo zvesirivha nezvegoridhe.”
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.
Jehovha akaita kuti vanhu vawanirwe nyasha navaIjipita, uye Mozisi pachake akanga achikudzwa zvikuru muIjipiti namachinda aFaro uye navanhu.
4 Then Moses/I [went to the king and] said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘About midnight [tonight] I will go throughout Egypt,
Saka Mozisi akati, “Zvanzi naJehovha: ‘Pakati pousiku ndichafamba napakati peIjipiti.
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.
Mwanakomana wose wedangwe ari muIjipiti achafa, kubva pamwanakomana wedangwe waFaro, iye agere pachigaro choushe, kusvikira kumwanakomana wedangwe womurandakadzi, ari paguyo rake, namatangwe ose emombewo.
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.
Pachava nokuchema kukuru muIjipiti yose, kwakadaro hakuna kumbovapo uye hakungavepozve.
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.
Asi pakati pavaIsraeri hapana kana imbwa ichahukura munhu zvake kana chipfuwo.’ Ipapo uchaziva kuti Jehovha anoita mutsauko pakati peIjipiti neIsraeri.
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.
Machinda ako ose aya achauya kwandiri, vachipfugama pamberi pangu vachiti, ‘Chiendai, imi navanhu vose vanokuteverai!’ Shure kwaizvozvo ndichaenda.” Ipapo Mozisi, atsamwa kwazvo, akabva pana Faro.
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.”
Jehovha akanga ati kuna Mozisi, “Faro acharamba kukuteerera, kuitira kuti zvishamiso zvangu zviwande muIjipiti.”
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.
Mozisi naAroni vakaita zvishamiso zvose izvi pamberi paFaro, asi Jehovha akaomesa mwoyo waFaro uye haana kuda kutendera vaIsraeri kuti vabude munyika yake.
