Exodus 11

1 Et dixit Dominus ad Moysen: Adhuc una plaga tangam Pharaonem et Aegyptum, et post haec dimittet vos, et exire compellet.

Then Yahweh said to Moses, “There is still one more plague that I will bring on Pharaoh and Egypt. After that, he will let you go from here. When he finally lets you go, he will drive you away completely.

2 Dices ergo omni plebi ut postulet vir ab amico suo, et mulier a vicina sua vasa argentea et aurea.

Instruct the people that every man and woman is to ask of his or her neighbor for articles of silver and articles of gold.”

3 Dabit autem Dominus gratiam populo suo coram Aegyptiis. Fuitque Moyses vir magnus valde in Terra Aegypti coram servis Pharaonis, et omni populo.

Now Yahweh had made the Egyptians eager to please the Israelites. Moreover, the man Moses was very impressive in the sight of Pharaoh's servants and the people of Egypt.

4 Et ait: Haec dicit Dominus: Media nocte ingrediar in Aegyptum:

Moses said, “Yahweh says this: 'About midnight I will go throughout Egypt.

5 et morietur omne primogenitum in Terra Aegyptiorum, a primogenito Pharaonis qui sedet in solio eius, usque ad primogenitum ancillae quae est ad molam, et omnia primogenita iumentorum.

All the firstborn in the land of Egypt will die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, to the firstborn of the slave girl who is behind the handmill grinding it, and to all the firstborn of the cattle.

6 Eritque clamor magnus in universa Terra Aegypti, qualis nec ante fuit, nec postea futurus est.

Then there will be a great wailing throughout all the land of Egypt, such as has never been nor ever will be again.

7 Apud omnes autem filios Israel non mutiet canis ab homine usque ad pecus: ut sciatis quanto miraculo dividat Dominus Aegyptios et Israel.

But not even a dog will bark against any of the people of Israel, against either man or beast. In this way you will know that I am treating the Egyptians and the Israelites differently.'

8 Descendentque omnes servi tui isti ad me, et adorabunt me, dicentes: Egredere tu, et omnis populus qui subiectus est tibi: post haec egrediemur.

All these servants of yours, Pharaoh, will come down to me and bow down to me. They will say, 'Go, you and all the people who follow you!' After that I will go out.” Then he went out from Pharaoh in great anger.

9 Et exivit a Pharaone iratus nimis. Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Non audiet vos Pharao ut multa signa fiant in Terra Aegypti.

Yahweh said to Moses, “Pharaoh will not listen to you. This is so that I will do many amazing things in the land of Egypt.”

10 Moyses autem et Aaron fecerunt omnia signa et ostenta quae scripta sunt, coram Pharaone. Et induravit Dominus cor Pharaonis, nec dimisit filios Israel de terra sua.

Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh. But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, and Pharaoh did not let the people of Israel go out of his land.
