< Thaama 11 >

1 Na rĩrĩ, Jehova nĩeerĩte Musa atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũrehere Firaũni na bũrũri wa Misiri mũthiro ũngĩ ũmwe. Thuutha ũcio, nĩakamũrekereria mũthiĩ mume gũkũ, na rĩrĩa ageeka ũguo, nĩkũmũingata akaamũingata biũ.
The LORD said to Moses, “I will bring yet one more plague on Pharaoh, and on Egypt; afterwards he will let you go. When he lets you go, he will surely thrust you out altogether.
2 Ĩra arũme othe, o hamwe na andũ-a-nja mahooe andũ a matũũra mao indo cia betha na cia thahabu.”
Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man ask of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.”
3 (Jehova agĩtũma andũ acio metĩkĩrĩke nĩ andũ a Misiri, na Musa we mwene aarĩ mũtĩĩku mũno kũu bũrũri wa Misiri nĩ anene a Firaũni o na andũ arĩa angĩ.)
The LORD gave the people favour 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.
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Kũrĩ ta ũtukũ gatagatĩ nĩngatuĩkania bũrũri wa Misiri wothe.
Moses said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘About midnight I will go out into the middle of Egypt,
5 Mwana wothe wa kahĩĩ wa irigithathi gũkũ bũrũri wa Misiri nĩagaakua, kwambĩrĩria irigithathi rĩa Firaũni, rĩrĩa rĩikaragĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, nginya irigithathi rĩa ngombo ya mũirĩtu, ũrĩa ũrutaga wĩra gĩthĩi-inĩ, na marigithathi mothe ma ngʼombe o namo.
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.
6 Nĩgũkaagĩa kĩrĩro kĩnene bũrũri wa Misiri wothe, kĩrĩro kĩũru gĩtarĩ gĩakorwo kuo, na gĩtakagĩa kuo rĩngĩ o na rĩ.
There will be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has not been, nor will be any more.
7 No gatagatĩ ka andũ a Isiraeli, gũtirĩ ngui ĩgaakũgĩra mũndũ, kana ĩkũgĩre nyamũ.’ Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũkamenya atĩ Jehova nĩekĩrĩte ngũũrani harĩ andũ a Misiri na andũ a Isiraeli.
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 the Egyptians and Israel.
8 Anene aya aku othe magooka kũrĩ niĩ, manyinamĩrĩre makiugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Thiĩ, we mwene o na andũ arĩa makũrũmĩrĩire!’ Thuutha ũcio nĩngathiĩ.” Hĩndĩ ĩyo Musa, acinĩtwo nĩ marakara, akĩeherera Firaũni.
All these servants of yours will 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.
9 Jehova nĩeerĩte Musa atĩrĩ, “Firaũni nĩakarega gũkũigua, nĩgeetha morirũ makwa gũkũ bũrũri wa Misiri mongerereke.”
The LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh won’t listen to you, that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.”
10 Musa na Harũni nĩmaringire morirũ maya mothe mbere ya Firaũni, no Jehova akĩũmia ngoro ya Firaũni, na ndaigana kũrekereria andũ a Isiraeli moime bũrũri-inĩ wake.
Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go out of his land.
