1 Disse o Senhor a Moisés: Ainda mais uma praga trarei sobre Faraó e sobre o Egito. Então, vos deixará ir daqui; quando vos deixar, é certo que vos expulsará totalmente. 2 Fala, agora, aos ouvidos do povo que todo homem peça ao seu vizinho, e toda mulher, à sua vizinha objetos de prata e de ouro. 3 E o Senhor fez que o seu povo encontrasse favor da parte dos egípcios; também o homem Moisés era mui famoso na terra do Egito, aos olhos dos oficiais de Faraó e aos olhos do povo.

4 Moisés disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Cerca da meia-noite passarei pelo meio do Egito. 5 E todo primogênito na terra do Egito morrerá, desde o primogênito de Faraó, que se assenta no seu trono, até ao primogênito da serva que está junto à mó, e todo primogênito dos animais. 6 Haverá grande clamor em toda a terra do Egito, qual nunca houve, nem haverá jamais; 7 porém contra nenhum dos filhos de Israel, desde os homens até aos animais, nem ainda um cão rosnará, para que saibais que o Senhor fez distinção entre os egípcios e os israelitas. 8 Então, todos estes teus oficiais descerão a mim e se inclinarão perante mim, dizendo: Sai tu e todo o povo que te segue. E, depois disto, sairei. E, ardendo em ira, se retirou da presença de Faraó. 9 Então, disse o Senhor a Moisés: Faraó não vos ouvirá, para que as minhas maravilhas se multipliquem na terra do Egito.

10 Moisés e Arão fizeram todas essas maravilhas perante Faraó; mas o Senhor endureceu o coração de Faraó, que não permitiu saíssem da sua terra os filhos de Israel.

1 And Jehovah 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. 2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let them ask every man of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold. 3 And Jehovah 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 And Moses said, Thus saith Jehovah, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt: 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. 6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there hath not been, nor shall be any more. 7 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 Jehovah doth make a distinction between the Egyptians and Israel. 8 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 hot anger.

9 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Pharaoh will 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 Jehovah hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.

1 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 from here, and when he does, he will drive you out completely.

2 Tell the people that men and women alike are to ask their neighbors for articles of silver and gold."

3 (The LORD made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and Moses himself was highly regarded in Egypt by Pharaoh's officials and by the people.)

4 So Moses said, "This is what the LORD says: 'About midnight I will go throughout Egypt.

5 Every firstborn 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, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well.

6 There will be loud wailing throughout Egypt —worse than there has ever been or ever will be again.

7 But among the Israelites not a dog will bark at any person or animal.' Then you will know that the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.

8 All these officials of yours will come to me, bowing down before me and saying, 'Go, you and all the people who follow you!' After that I will leave." Then Moses, hot with anger, left Pharaoh.

9 The LORD had said to Moses, "Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you —so that my wonders may be multiplied in Egypt."

10 Moses and Aaron performed all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let the Israelites go out of his country.
