1 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Ekyaliyo ekibonoobono kimu kye nzija okuleetera Falaawo n’ensi y’e Misiri. Oluvannyuma lwakyo ajja kubaleka mugende; ate bw’anaabakkiriza okugenda, ajja kubeegoberako ddala bwegobi abasindiikirize.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “I will bring upon Pharaoh and Egypt one more plague. After that, he will allow you to leave this place. And when he lets you go, he will drive you out completely.
2 Kale, tegeeza abantu, buli musajja asabanga muliraanwa we, ne buli mukazi asabanga muliraanwa we, ebintu eby’omuwendo ebya ffeeza n’ebya zaabu.”
Now announce to the people that men and women alike should ask their neighbors for articles of silver and gold.”
3 Mukama n’aleetera Abamisiri okukwanagana n’abaana ba Isirayiri; ne Musa n’aweebwa nnyo ekitiibwa mu nsi y’e Misiri. Abakungu ba Falaawo n’abantu bonna ne bamugulumiza nnyo.
And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover, Moses himself was highly regarded in Egypt by Pharaoh’s officials and by the people.
4 Awo Musa n’agamba Falaawo nti, “Mukama agambye bw’ati nti, ‘Nga wakati mu ttumbi, nzija kuyita mu Misiri yonna.
So Moses declared, “This is what the LORD says: ‘About midnight I will go throughout Egypt,
5 Ebibereberye mu nsi y’e Misiri bijja kufa, okutandikira ku mubereberye wa Falaawo agenda okumusikira, okutuukira ddala ku mubereberye w’omuwala omuzaana asa ku lubengo; era n’ebibereberye byonna eby’ebisolo.
and every firstborn son in the land of Egypt will die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, to the firstborn of the servant girl behind the hand mill, as well as the firstborn of all the cattle.
6 Wajja kubaawo okukungubaga okunene mu nsi yonna eya Misiri, okutabangawo era nga tewagenda kubaawo kukwenkana.
Then a great cry will go out over all the land of Egypt. Such an outcry has never been heard before and will never be heard again.
7 Naye mu baana ba Isirayiri n’embwa teribaayo gw’eboggolera wadde ebisolo byabwe; mulyoke mutegeere nga Mukama Abamisiri n’Abayisirayiri tabayisa bumu.’
But among all the Israelites, not even a dog will snarl at man or beast.’ Then you will know that the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.
8 Era bano abakungu bo bonna balijja gye ndi nga babundabunda, ne banvuunamira nga banneegayirira nti, ‘Genda, ggwe n’abantu bo bonna abakugoberera.’ Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo nange ndigenda.” N’ava awali Falaawo n’obusungu bungi nnyo.
And all these officials of yours will come and bow before me, saying, ‘Go, you and all the people who follow you!’ After that, I will depart.” And hot with anger, Moses left Pharaoh’s presence.
9 Mukama yali agambye Musa nti, “Falaawo tagenda kuwuliriza by’omugamba, bwe ntyo ndyoke nkolere ebyamagero byange bingi mu Misiri.”
The LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh will not listen to you, so that My wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.”
10 Musa ne Alooni baakolera ebyamagero ebyo byonna awali Falaawo; naye Mukama yakakanyaza omutima gwa Falaawo, n’atakkiriza baana ba Isirayiri kuva mu nsi ye.
Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart so that he would not let the Israelites go out of his land.
