1 A nd Jehovah said to Moses, Yet one plague will I bring upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let go altogether, he shall utterly drive you out hence.

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 ears of the people, that they ask every man of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, utensils of silver and utensils of gold.

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

3 A nd Jehovah gave the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt—in the eyes of Pharaoh's bondmen, and in the eyes 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 saith Jehovah: 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 sitteth on his throne, even unto the firstborn of the bondwoman that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of cattle.

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

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

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

7 B ut against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast; that ye may know that Jehovah distinguisheth 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 thy bondmen shall come down unto me, and bow down to me, saying, Go out, thou, and all the people that follow thee; and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a glowing anger.

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

9 A nd Jehovah had said to Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken to you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.

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

10 A nd Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh; but Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.

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