Exodus 11
1 Et dixit Dominus ad Moysen: Adhuc una plaga tangam Pharaonem et Aegyptum, et post haec dimittet vos, et exire compellet.
The Lord told Moses, “There's one last plague I will bring down on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that he will let you go, but when he does, he'll expel every one of you from the country.
2 Dices ergo omni plebi ut postulet vir ab amico suo, et mulier a vicina sua vasa argentea et aurea.
Now go and tell the Israelites, both men and women, to ask their Egyptian neighbors for silver and gold objects.”
3 Dabit autem Dominus gratiam populo suo coram Aegyptiis. Fuitque Moyses vir magnus valde in Terra Aegypti coram servis Pharaonis, et omni populo.
The Lord made the Egyptians look favorably on the Israelites. In fact, Moses himself was highly respected in Egypt by both Pharaoh's officials and the ordinary people.
4 Et ait: Haec dicit Dominus: Media nocte ingrediar in Aegyptum:
Moses said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Around midnight I will go through the whole of Egypt.
5 et morietur omne primogenitum in Terra Aegyptiorum, a primogenito Pharaonis qui sedet in solio eius, usque ad primogenitum ancillae quae est ad molam, et omnia primogenita iumentorum.
Every firstborn son in the land of Egypt will die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh sitting on his throne to the firstborn of the servant girl working with a handmill, as well as all the firstborn of the cattle.
6 Eritque clamor magnus in universa Terra Aegypti, qualis nec ante fuit, nec postea futurus est.
There will be loud cries of mourning all over Egypt, such as have never been before, and will never be again.
7 Apud omnes autem filios Israel non mutiet canis ab homine usque ad pecus: ut sciatis quanto miraculo dividat Dominus Aegyptios et Israel.
But among all the Israelites there won't even be the sound of a dog barking at them or their animals. That way you will know that the Lord distinguishes between Egypt and Israel.’
8 Descendentque omnes servi tui isti ad me, et adorabunt me, dicentes: Egredere tu, et omnis populus qui subiectus est tibi: post haec egrediemur.
All your officials will come to me, bowing down before me and saying, ‘Leave, and take everyone who follows you with you!’ After that I will leave.” Moses was very angry, and left Pharaoh.
9 Et exivit a Pharaone iratus nimis. Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Non audiet vos Pharao ut multa signa fiant in Terra Aegypti.
The Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh is refusing to listen to you so I can do even more miracles in Egypt.”
10 Moyses autem et Aaron fecerunt omnia signa et ostenta quae scripta sunt, coram Pharaone. Et induravit Dominus cor Pharaonis, nec dimisit filios Israel de terra sua.
Moses and Aaron did these miracles before Pharaoh, but the Lord gave Pharaoh a stubborn attitude, and he wouldn't let the Israelites leave his country.
