Exodus 11

1 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Yet one plague more will I bring upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence; when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.

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.

2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let them ask every man of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.'

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.«

3 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.

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.

4 And Moses said: 'Thus saith the LORD: About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt;

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

5 and all the first-born in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first-born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the first-born of the maid-servant that is behind the mill; and all the first-born of cattle.

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.

6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there hath been none like it, nor shall be like it any more.

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

7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog whet his tongue, against man or beast; that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.

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.‹

8 And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down unto me, saying: Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee; and after that I will go out.' And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger.

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.

9 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Pharaoh will not hearken unto you; that My wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.'

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

10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh; and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.

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.
