1 T hen the Lord said to Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more on Pharaoh and on Egypt; afterwards he will let you go. When he lets you go from here, he will thrust you out altogether.

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «سَآتِي بِضَرْبَةٍ واحِدَةٍ أُخْرَى عَلَى فِرعَوْنَ وَعَلَى مِصرَ. وَبَعدَ ذَلِكَ سَيُطلِقُكُمْ مِنْ هُنا. وَحِينَ يُطلِقُكُمْ، فَإنَّهُ سَيَطرُدُكُمْ طَرْداً.

2 S peak now in the hearing of the people, and let every man solicit and ask of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver and jewels of gold.

«قُلْ لِلشَّعبِ أنْ يَطلُبَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْ جارِهِ، وَكُلُّ امْرأةٍ مِنْ جارَتِها، أدَواتٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ.»

3 A nd the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover, the man Moses was exceedingly great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants and of the people.

وَجَعَلَ اللهُ المِصرِيِّينَ كُرَماءَ مَعَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ. وَكانَ الرَّجُلُ مُوسَى عَظِيماً جِدّاً فِي أرْضِ مِصْرَ، فِي عُيُونِ خُدّامِ فِرعَوْنَ وَالشَّعْبِ.

4 A nd Moses said, Thus says the Lord, About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt;

وَقالَ مُوسَى: «هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ: ‹قُرْبَ مُنتَصَفِ اللَّيلِ، سَأخرُجُ إلَى وَسَطِ مِصرَ،

5 A nd all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the maidservant who is behind the hand mill, and all the firstborn of beasts.

فَيَمُوتُ كُلُّ بِكْرٍ فِي أرْضِ مِصرَ، ابْتِداءً بِابْنِ فِرعَوْنَ الجالِسِ عَلَى عَرشِهِ، حَتَّى بِكْرِ الجارِيَةِ الجالِسَةِ خَلفَ حَجَرِ الرَّحَى، وَكُلِّ بِكرٍ مِنَ الحَيواناتِ.

6 T here shall be a great cry in all the land of Egypt, such as has never been nor ever shall be again.

سَيَكُونُ هُناكَ نُواحٌ عَظِيمٌ فِي كُلِّ أرْضِ مِصرَ لَمْ يَأْتِ مِثلُهُ مِنْ قَبلُ، وَلَنْ يَأْتِيَ.

7 B ut against any of the Israelites shall not so much as a dog move his tongue against man or beast, that you may know that the Lord makes a distinction between the Egyptians and Israel.

أمّا وَسَطَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ، فَلَنْ يَكُونَ هُناكَ وَلا حَتَّى كَلبٌ لِيَنبَحَ وَسَطَ النّاسِ أوِ الحَيواناتِ، لِيَعرِفُوا أنَّ اللهَ يُمَيِّزُ بَينَ المِصرِيِّينَ وَالإسْرائِيلييّن.

8 A nd all these your servants shall come down to me and bow down to me, saying, Get out, and all the people who follow you! And after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in great anger.

كُلُّ خُدّامِكَ هَؤُلاءِ سَيَأتُونَ إلَيَّ وَسَيَرْكَعُونَ لِي وَيَقُولُونَ: اخْرُجْ أنْتَ وَكُلُّ الشَّعبِ الَّذِي يَتبَعُكَ. حِينَئِذٍ، سَأخرُجُ.›»

9 T hen the Lord said to Moses, Pharaoh will not listen to you, that My wonders and miracles may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «لَنْ يَستَمِعَ فِرعَوْنُ لَكَ كَي أزِيدَ مُعجِزاتِي فِي أرْضِ مِصرَ.»

10 M oses and Aaron did all these wonders and miracles before Pharaoh; and the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s stubborn heart, and he did not let the Israelites go out of his land.

فَعَمِلَ مُوسَى وَهارُونُ كُلَّ هَذِهِ المُعجِزاتِ أمامَ فِرعَوْنَ. لَكِنَّ اللهَ قَسَّى قَلْبَهُ كَي لا يُطلِقَ بَني إسْرائِيلَ مِنْ أرْضِهِ.
