< Exodus 11 >

1 Et dixit Dominus ad Moysen: Adhuc una plaga tangam Pharaonem et Ægyptum, et post hæc dimittet vos, et exire compellet.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Yet one plague more will I bring upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; after that he will let you go hence: when he doth let you go, he shall surely thrust you out altogether from here.
2 Dices ergo omni plebi ut postulet vir ab amico suo, et mulier a vicina sua vasa argentea et aurea.
Speak now in the ears of the people, and let them ask every man of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold.
3 Dabit autem Dominus gratiam populo suo coram Ægyptiis. Fuitque Moyses vir magnus valde in Terra Ægypti coram servis Pharaonis, et omni populo.
And the Lord gave the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians; also the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the eyes of Pharaoh's servants, and in the eyes of the people.
4 Et ait: Hæc dicit Dominus: Media nocte egrediar in Ægyptum:
And Moses said, Thus hath said the Lord, About midnight will I go out in the midst of Egypt:
5 et morietur omne primogenitum in Terra Ægyptiorum, a primogenito Pharaonis qui sedet in solio eius, usque ad primogenitum ancillæ quæ est ad molam, et omnia primogenita iumentorum.
And there shall die every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh that is to sit upon his throne, even unto the first-born of the maid-servant that is behind the mill; and every first-born of cattle.
6 Eritque clamor magnus in universa Terra Ægypti, qualis nec ante fuit, nec postea futurus est.
And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, the like of which hath never been, and the like of which will not be any more.
7 Apud omnes autem filios Israel non mutiet canis ab homine usque ad pecus: ut sciatis quanto miraculo dividat Dominus Ægyptios et Israel.
But against any of the children of Israel not a dog shall move his tongue, neither against man nor beast; in order that ye may know how that the Lord doth distinguish between the Egyptians and Israel.
8 Descendentque omnes servi tui isti ad me, et adorabunt me, dicentes: Egredere tu, et omnis populus qui subiectus est tibi: post hæc egrediemur.
And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow themselves down unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that followeth thee; and after that I will go out: and he went out from Pharaoh in a burning anger.
9 Et exivit a Pharaone iratus nimis. Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Non audiet vos Pharao ut multa signa fiant in Terra Ægypti.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Pharaoh will not hearken unto you; in order that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
10 Moyses autem et Aaron fecerunt omnia ostenta quæ scripta sunt, coram Pharaone. Et induravit Dominus cor Pharaonis, nec dimisit filios Israel de terra sua.
And 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.
