Eksodosy 11

1 Fa Jehovah nilaza tamin’ i Mosesy, hoe: Mbola hahatonga loza iray koa amin’ i Farao sy Egypta Aho; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia handefa anareo hiala atỳ izy; ary rehefa handefa anareo rehetra izy, dia handroaka anareo fatratra hiala atỳ.

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 Koa mitenena amin’ ny olona, ary aoka ny lehilahy samy hangataka firavaka volafotsy sy firavaka volamena amin’ ny namany avy, ary ny vehivavy amin’ ny namany avy koa.

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 Dia nataon’ i Jehovah nahita fitia teo imason’ ny Egyptiana ny olona. Ary Mosesy dia lehilahy malaza indrindra teo amin’ ny tany Egypta, dia teo imason’ ny mpanompon’ i Farao sy teo imason’ ny vahoaka.

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 Ary hoy Mosesy: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Rehefa tokony ho mamatonalina Izaho hivoaka hankeo afovoan’ i Egypta,

Then Moses/I [went to the king and] said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘About midnight [tonight] I will go throughout Egypt,

5 dia ho faty ny lahimatoa rehetra eto amin’ ny tany Egypta, hatramin’ ny matoan’ i Farao izay mipetraka eo ambonin’ ny seza fiandrianany ka hatramin’ ny matoan’ ny ankizivaviny izay eo anilan’ ny fikosoham-bary, ary ny voalohan-teraky ny biby fiompy rehetra.

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 Ary hisy fidradradradrana mafy eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra, izay tsy mbola nisy tahaka izany, sady tsy hisy tahaka izany intsony.

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 Kanefa tsy hisy na dia alika aza hanetsika ny lela ny amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, na amin’ ny olona, na amin’ ny biby, mba ho fantatrareo ny tsi-fampitovian’ i Jehovah ny Egyptiana sy ny Isiraely.

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 Ary hidina ho ao amiko ireo mpanomponao rehetra ireo dia hiankohoka eo anatrehako ka hanao hoe: Mandehana ianao sy ny olona rehetra izay manaraka anao; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia vao handeha aho. Dia niala teo amin’ i Farao tamin’ ny fahatezerana mirehitra Mosesy.

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 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Tsy hihaino anareo Farao, mba hitomboan’ ny fahagagana izay hataoko eto amin’ ny tany Egypta.

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 Ary Mosesy sy Arona nanao ireo fahagagana rehetra ireo teo amin’ i Farao; nefa Jehovah nanamafy ny fon’ i Farao, ka tsy nandefa ny Zanak’ Isiraely hiala tamin’ ny taniny izy.

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.
