< Exodus 11 >
1 Nísinsin yìí, Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé èmi yóò mú ààrùn kan sí i wá sí orí Farao àti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti. Lẹ́yìn náà yóò jẹ́ kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lọ kúrò níhìn-ín yìí, nígbà tí ó bá sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ yóò lé yín jáde pátápátá.
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 Sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn náà pé kí tọkùnrin tobìnrin wọn béèrè fún ohun èlò fàdákà àti wúrà lọ́wọ́ aládùúgbò rẹ̀.
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 (Olúwa jẹ́ kí wọn rí ojúrere àwọn ará Ejibiti, pàápàá, Mose fúnra rẹ̀ di ènìyàn pàtàkì ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti ní iwájú àwọn ìjòyè Farao àti ní iwájú àwọn ènìyàn pẹ̀lú).
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 Nígbà náà ni Mose wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ, ‘Ní ọ̀gànjọ́ òru èmi yóò la ilẹ̀ Ejibiti kọjá.
Then Moses/I [went to the king and] said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘About midnight [tonight] I will go throughout Egypt,
5 Gbogbo àkọ́bí ọmọkùnrin tí ó wà ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti ni yóò kùú, bẹ̀rẹ̀ lórí àkọ́bí ọkùnrin Farao tí ó jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀, tí ó fi dé orí àkọ́bí ọmọkùnrin ti ẹrúbìnrin tí ń lọ ọlọ àti gbogbo àkọ́bí ẹran ọ̀sìn pẹ̀lú.
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 Igbe ẹkún ńlá yóò sọ jákèjádò gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti. Irú ohun búburú tí kò ṣẹlẹ̀ rí tí kò sí tún ni ṣẹlẹ̀ mọ́.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n láàrín àwọn ará Israẹli ajá lásán kò ní gbó àwọn ènìyàn tàbí àwọn ẹran wọn.’ Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé Olúwa ti fi ìyàtọ̀ sáàrín àwọn ará Ejibiti àti Israẹli.
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 Gbogbo àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ wọ̀nyí yóò tọ̀ mí wá, wọn yóò wólẹ̀ ni iwájú, mi wọn yóò sì máa wí pé, ‘Lọ àti àwọn ènìyàn tí ó tẹ̀lé ọ!’ Lẹ́yìn náà èmi yóò jáde.” Nígbà náà ni Mose fi ìbínú jáde kúrò ní iwájú Farao.
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 Olúwa ti sọ fún Mose pé, “Farao yóò kọ̀ láti fetísílẹ̀ sí ọ kí iṣẹ́ ìyanu mí le pọ̀ sí ní Ejibiti.”
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 Mose àti Aaroni ṣe àwọn iṣẹ́ ìyanu wọ̀nyí níwájú Farao, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa sé ọkàn Farao le, òun kò sí jẹ́ kí àwọn Israẹli jáde kúrò ni orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ̀.
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.
