Exodus 11
1 And the Lord said to Moses, I will yet bring one plague upon Pharao and upon Egypt, and after that he will send you forth thence; and whenever he sends you forth with every thing, he will indeed drive you out.
“Još ću samo jednom nedaćom udariti faraona i Egipat”, reče Jahve Mojsiju. “Poslije toga pustit će vas odavde. I više: sam će vas odavde potjerati.
2 Speak therefore secretly in the ears of the people, and let every one ask of his neighbour jewels of silver and gold, and raiment.
Kaži svijetu neka svaki čovjek ište od svoga susjeda i svaka žena od svoje susjede srebrnih i zlatnih dragocjenosti.”
3 And the Lord gave his people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, and they lent to them; and the man Moses was very great before the Egyptians, and before Pharao, and before his servants.
Jahve učini te Egipćani bijahu naklonjeni narodu. Sam Mojsije postane vrlo uvažen u egipatskoj zemlji, u očima faraonovih službenika i u očima naroda.
4 And Moses said, These things saith the Lord, About midnight I go forth into the midst of Egypt.
A onda Mojsije navijesti: “Ovako poručuje Jahve: 'O ponoći proći ću Egiptom.
5 And every first-born in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first-born of Pharao that sits on the throne, even to the first-born of the woman-servant that is by the mill, and to the first-born of all cattle.
Svaki će prvorođenac u egipatskoj zemlji umrijeti, od prvorođenca faraonova, koji bi imao sjediti na njegovu prijestolju, do prvorođenca ropkinje koja se nalazi uz mlinski kamen; a uginut će i sve prvine od stoke.
6 And there shall be a great cry through all the land of Egypt, such as has not been, and such shall not be repeated any more.
U svoj će zemlji egipatskoj nastati veliki jauk, kakva nije bilo niti će kad poslije biti.
7 But among all the children of Israel shall not a dog snarl with his tongue, either at man or beast; that thou mayest know how wide a distinction the Lord will make between the Egyptians and Israel.
Među Izraelcima ni pas neće zalajati na živo stvorenje: ni na čovjeka ni na životinju.' Po tome ćete znati da Jahve luči Izraelca od Egipćanina.
8 And all these thy servants shall come down to me, and do me reverence, saying, Go forth, thou and all the people over whom thou presidest, and afterwards I will go forth.
Onda će svi ovi tvoji dvorani k meni doći, preda me se baciti i vikati: Nosi se i ti i sav puk koji za tobom ide! Poslije toga ću otići.” I gnjevan ode od faraona.
9 And Moses went forth from Pharao with wrath. And the Lord said to Moses, Pharao will not hearken to you, that I may greatly multiply my signs and wonders in the land [of] Egypt.
“Neće vas faraon poslušati”, reče Jahve Mojsiju, “a to da bi se umnožila moja znamenja u zemlji egipatskoj.”
10 And Moses and Aaron wrought all these signs and wonders in the land [of] Egypt before Pharao; and the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao, and he did not hearken to send forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
Mojsije i Aron izveli su sva ta znamenja pred faraonom, ali je Jahve okorio srce faraonu, tako te on nije puštao Izraelaca da odu iz njegove zemlje.
