2 Mojzes 11

1 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Še eno nadlogo več bom privedel nad faraona in nad Egipt, potem vam bo pustil oditi. Ko vam bo pustil oditi, vas bo zagotovo vse skupaj sunil od tod.

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 Govori torej v ušesa ljudstvu in naj si vsak mož izposodi od svojega soseda in vsaka ženska od svoje sosede dragocenosti iz srebra in dragocenosti iz zlata.«

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 Gospod je dal ljudstvu naklonjenost v očeh Egipčanov. Poleg tega je bil človek Mojzes zelo velik v egiptovski deželi, v očeh faraonovih služabnikov in v očeh ljudstva.

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 Mojzes je rekel: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Okoli polnoči bom odšel ven, v sredo Egipta.

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

5 Vsi prvorojenci v egiptovski deželi bodo umrli, od faraonovega prvorojenca, ki sedi na njegovem prestolu, celo do prvorojenca dekle, ki je za mlinom in vse prvorojeno od živali.

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 Veliko vpitje bo po vsej egiptovski deželi, kot takšnega tam ni bilo niti ne bo več podobnega temu.

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

7 Toda zoper kateregakoli izmed Izraelovih otrok niti pes ne bo premaknil svojega jezika, zoper človeka ali žival, da boste lahko vedeli, kako Gospod postavlja razliko med Egipčani in Izraelom.‹

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 Vsi ti tvoji služabniki bodo prišli dol k meni in se mi priklonili, rekoč: ›Pojdi ven ti in vse ljudstvo, ki ti sledi.‹ In potem bom šel ven.« In od faraona je odšel v veliki jezi.

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 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Faraon vama ne bo prisluhnil, da bodo moji čudeži lahko pomnoženi v egiptovski deželi.«

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 Mojzes in Aron sta vse te čudeže storila pred faraonom, Gospod pa je zakrknil faraonovo srce, tako da ta ne bi pustil Izraelovih otrok oditi ven iz svoje dežele.

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.
