Êxodo 11
Nova Versão Transformadora
A morte dos filhos mais velhos dos egípcios
11 Então o Senhor disse a Moisés: “Atingirei o faraó e a terra do Egito com mais uma praga. Depois disso, o faraó os deixará sair de seu território. Quando, por fim, ele permitir que saiam, praticamente os expulsará. 2 Diga a todos os homens e mulheres israelitas que peçam objetos de prata e ouro a seus vizinhos egípcios”. 3 (O Senhor havia feito os egípcios verem o povo com bons olhos. Moisés era tido em alta consideração na terra do Egito e respeitado tanto pelos oficiais do faraó como pelo povo egípcio.)
4 Moisés disse: “Assim diz o Senhor: À meia-noite de hoje, passarei pelo meio do Egito. 5 Morrerão todos os filhos mais velhos do sexo masculino, em todas as famílias do Egito, desde o filho mais velho do faraó, sentado em seu trono, até o filho mais velho da serva mais humilde que trabalha no moinho. Até mesmo os primeiros machos dentre todos os animais morrerão. 6 Então se ouvirá um grande lamento na terra do Egito, um lamento como nunca houve e nunca mais haverá. 7 Quanto aos israelitas, porém, nem um cão latirá contra eles ou seus animais. Com isso vocês saberão que o Senhor faz distinção entre os egípcios e os israelitas. 8 Todos os oficiais do Egito virão até mim e se curvarão, suplicando: ‘Por favor, vá embora! Saia logo do Egito e leve com você todo este povo que o segue!’. Só então eu sairei!”. E, ardendo de ira, Moisés saiu da presença do faraó.
9 O Senhor tinha avisado a Moisés: “O faraó não lhe dará ouvidos, por isso farei milagres ainda mais poderosos na terra do Egito”. 10 Moisés e Arão fizeram todos esses milagres na presença do faraó, mas o Senhor lhe endureceu o coração, e ele se recusou a deixar o povo de Israel sair de sua terra.

A Final Plague Threatened
11 The Lord said to Moses, “Yet (A)one plague more I will bring upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt. Afterward he will let you go from here. (B)When he lets you go, he will drive you away completely. 2 Speak now in the hearing of the people, that (C)they ask, every man of his neighbor and every woman of her neighbor, for silver and gold jewelry.” 3 (D)And the Lord gave the people favor 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.
4 So Moses said, “Thus says the Lord: (E)‘About midnight I will go out in the midst of Egypt, 5 and every firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the slave girl who is (F)behind the handmill, and all the firstborn of the cattle. 6 (G)There shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has never been, nor ever will be again. 7 But not a dog shall growl (H)against any of the people of Israel, either man or beast, that you may know that the Lord (I)makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.’ 8 And (J)all these your servants shall come down to me and bow down to me, saying, ‘Get out, you and all the people who follow you.’ And after that I will go out.” And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger. 9 Then the Lord said to Moses, (K)“Pharaoh will not listen to you, that (L)my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.”
10 Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, and the Lord (M)hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go out of his land.

The Tenth Plague: Death of the Firstborn
11 The Lord said[a] to Moses, “I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that, he will let you go from here. When he lets you go,[b] he will drive you out of here. 2 Now announce to the people that both men and women should ask their neighbors for silver and gold jewelry.” 3 The Lord gave[c] the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. And the man Moses was highly regarded[d] in the land of Egypt by[e] Pharaoh’s officials and the people.(A)
4 So Moses said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘About midnight I will go throughout Egypt, 5 and every firstborn male in the land of Egypt will die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne to the firstborn of the servant girl who is behind the millstones, as well as every firstborn of the livestock. 6 Then there will be a great cry of anguish through all the land of Egypt such as never was before, or ever will be again. 7 But against all the Israelites, whether man or beast, not even a dog will snarl,[f] so that you may know that Yahweh makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel. 8 All these officials of yours will come down to me and bow before me, saying: Leave, you and all the people who follow you.[g] After that, I will leave.’” And he left Pharaoh’s presence in fierce anger.(B)
9 The Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh will not listen(C) to you, so that My wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.” 10 Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart,(D) and he would not let the Israelites go out of his land.
