11 L'Éternel dit à Moïse: Je ferai venir encore une plaie sur Pharaon et sur l'Égypte. Après cela, il vous laissera partir d'ici. Lorsqu'il vous laissera tout à fait aller, il vous chassera même d'ici.

Parle au peuple, pour que chacun demande à son voisin et chacune à sa voisine des vases d'argent et des vases d'or.

L'Éternel fit trouver grâce au peuple aux yeux des Égyptiens; Moïse lui-même était très considéré dans le pays d'Égypte, aux yeux des serviteurs de Pharaon et aux yeux du peuple.

Moïse dit: Ainsi parle l'Éternel: Vers le milieu de la nuit, je passerai au travers de l'Égypte;

et tous les premiers-nés mourront dans le pays d'Égypte, depuis le premier-né de Pharaon assis sur son trône, jusqu'au premier-né de la servante qui est derrière la meule, et jusqu'à tous les premiers-nés des animaux.

Il y aura dans tout le pays d'Égypte de grands cris, tels qu'il n'y en a point eu et qu'il n'y en aura plus de semblables.

Mais parmi tous les enfants d'Israël, depuis les hommes jusqu'aux animaux, pas même un chien ne remuera sa langue, afin que vous sachiez quelle différence l'Éternel fait entre l'Égypte et Israël.

Alors tous tes serviteurs que voici descendront vers moi et se prosterneront devant moi, en disant: Sors, toi et tout le peuple qui s'attache à tes pas! Après cela, je sortirai. Moïse sortit de chez Pharaon, dans une ardente colère.

L'Éternel dit à Moïse: Pharaon ne vous écoutera point, afin que mes miracles se multiplient dans le pays d'Égypte.

10 Moïse et Aaron firent tous ces miracles devant Pharaon, et ne Pharaon ne laissa point aller les enfants d'Israël hors de son pays.

11 And the Lord said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more 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.

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

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.

And Moses said, Thus saith the Lord, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:

And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.

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

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

And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves 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 a great anger.

And the Lord said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.

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

The Plague on the Firstborn

11 Now the Lord had said to Moses, “I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that, he will let you go(A) from here, and when he does, he will drive you out completely.(B) Tell the people that men and women alike are to ask their neighbors for articles of silver and gold.”(C) (The Lord made the Egyptians favorably disposed(D) toward the people, and Moses himself was highly regarded(E) in Egypt by Pharaoh’s officials and by the people.)

So Moses said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘About midnight(F) I will go throughout Egypt.(G) Every firstborn(H) son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn son of the female slave, who is at her hand mill,(I) and all the firstborn of the cattle as well. There will be loud wailing(J) throughout Egypt—worse than there has ever been or ever will be again. But among the Israelites not a dog will bark at any person or animal.’ Then you will know that the Lord makes a distinction(K) between Egypt and Israel. All these officials of yours will come to me, bowing down before me and saying, ‘Go,(L) you and all the people who follow you!’ After that I will leave.”(M) Then Moses, hot with anger, left Pharaoh.

The Lord had said to Moses, “Pharaoh will refuse to listen(N) to you—so that my wonders(O) may be multiplied in Egypt.” 10 Moses and Aaron performed all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart,(P) and he would not let the Israelites go out of his country.

Deus anuncia a Moisés a morte de todos os primogênitos

11 E o Senhor disse a Moisés: Ainda uma praga trarei sobre Faraó e sobre o Egito; depois, vos deixará ir daqui; e, quando vos deixar ir totalmente, a toda a pressa vos lançará daqui. Fala agora aos ouvidos do povo, que cada varão peça ao seu vizinho, e cada mulher à sua vizinha, vasos de prata e vasos de ouro. E o Senhor deu graça ao povo aos olhos dos egípcios; também o varão Moisés era mui grande na terra do Egito, aos olhos dos servos de Faraó e aos olhos do povo.

Disse mais Moisés: Assim o Senhor tem dito: À meia-noite eu sairei pelo meio do Egito; e todo primogênito na terra do Egito morrerá, desde o primogênito de Faraó, que se assenta com ele sobre o seu trono, até ao primogênito da serva que está detrás da mó, e todo primogênito dos animais. E haverá grande clamor em toda a terra do Egito, qual nunca houve semelhante e nunca haverá; mas contra todos os filhos de Israel nem ainda um cão moverá a sua língua, desde os homens até aos animais, para que saibais que o Senhor fez diferença entre os egípcios e os israelitas. Então, todos estes teus servos descerão a mim e se inclinarão diante de mim, dizendo: Sai tu e todo o povo que te segue as pisadas; e, depois, eu sairei. E saiu de Faraó em ardor de ira. O Senhor dissera a Moisés: Faraó vos não ouvirá, para que as minhas maravilhas se multipliquem na terra do Egito.

10 E Moisés e Arão fizeram todas estas maravilhas diante de Faraó; mas o Senhor endureceu o coração de Faraó, que não deixou ir os filhos de Israel da sua terra.
