Okuva 11
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 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.
2 Kale, tegeeza abantu, buli musajja asabanga muliraanwa we, ne buli mukazi asabanga muliraanwa we, ebintu eby’omuwendo ebya ffeeza n’ebya zaabu.”
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.”
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.
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.
4 Awo Musa n’agamba Falaawo nti, “Mukama agambye bw’ati nti, ‘Nga wakati mu ttumbi, nzija kuyita mu Misiri yonna.
Then Moses/I [went to the king and] said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘About midnight [tonight] 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 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.
6 Wajja kubaawo okukungubaga okunene mu nsi yonna eya Misiri, okutabangawo era nga tewagenda kubaawo kukwenkana.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
9 Mukama yali agambye Musa nti, “Falaawo tagenda kuwuliriza by’omugamba, bwe ntyo ndyoke nkolere ebyamagero byange bingi mu Misiri.”
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.”
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.
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.
