Exodus, 11

1. And the Lord said to Moses: “I will touch Pharaoh and Egypt with one more plague, and after these things he will release you, and he will compel you to go out.

1. "Još æu samo jednom nedaæom udariti faraona i Egipat", reèe Jahve Mojsiju. "Poslije toga pustit æe vas odavde. I više: sam æe vas odavde potjerati.

2. Therefore, you will tell all the people to ask, a man of his friend, and a woman of her neighbor, for vessels of silver and of gold.

2. Kaži svijetu neka svaki èovjek ište od svoga susjeda i svaka žena od svoje susjede srebrnih i zlatnih dragocjenosti."

3. Then the Lord will grant favor to his people in the sight of the Egyptians.” And Moses was a very great man in the land of Egypt, in the sight of the servants of Pharaoh and of all the people.

3. Jahve uèini te Egipæani bijahu naklonjeni narodu. Sam Mojsije postane vrlo uvažen u egipatskoj zemlji, u oèima faraonovih službenika i u oèima naroda.

4. And he said: “Thus says the Lord: ‘In the middle of the night I will enter into Egypt.

4. A onda Mojsije navijesti: "Ovako poruèuje Jahve: 'O ponoæi proæi æu Egiptom.

5. And every firstborn in the land of the Egyptians shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the handmaid, who is at the millstone, and all the firstborn of the beasts of burden.

5. Svaki æe prvoroðenac u egipatskoj zemlji umrijeti, od prvoroðenca faraonova, koji bi imao sjediti na njegovu prijestolju, do prvoroðenca ropkinje koja se nalazi uz mlinski kamen; a uginut æe i sve prvine od stoke.

6. And there will be a great outcry throughout the entire land of Egypt, such as has not been before, nor ever will be afterward.

6. U svoj æe zemlji egipatskoj nastati veliki jauk, kakva nije bilo niti æe kad poslije biti.

7. But among all the sons of Israel there shall not be even a mutter from a dog, from man, even to cattle, so that you may know how miraculously the Lord divides the Egyptians from Israel.’

7. Meðu Izraelcima ni pas neæe zalajati na živo stvorenje: ni na èovjeka ni na životinju.' Po tome æete znati da Jahve luèi Izraelca od Egipæanina.

8. And all these, your servants, shall descend to me and shall reverence me, by saying: ‘Depart, you and all the people who are subject to you.’ After these things, we will depart.”

8. Onda æe svi ovi tvoji dvorani k meni doæi, preda me se baciti i vikati: Nosi se i ti i sav puk koji za tobom ide! Poslije toga æu otiæi." I gnjevan ode od faraona.

9. And he went out from Pharaoh exceedingly angry. Then the Lord said to Moses: “Pharaoh will not listen to you, so that many signs may be accomplished in the land of Egypt.”

9. "Neæe vas faraon poslušati", reèe Jahve Mojsiju, "a to da bi se umnožila moja znamenja u zemlji egipatskoj."

10. Now Moses and Aaron did all the wonders that are written, in the sight of Pharaoh. And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh; neither did he release the sons of Israel from his land.

10. Mojsije i Aron izveli su sva ta znamenja pred faraonom, ali je Jahve okorio srce faraonu, tako te on nije puštao Izraelaca da odu iz njegove zemlje.

Fusnote:

11:1-2 - God announces the final plague on Egypt, the death of the firstborn, and commands the Israelites to ask the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold. This act symbolizes divine justice, rewarding Israel for slavery and suffering (see also Genesis 15:14 and Proverbs 13:22).

11:3 - The Lord grants favor to the Israelites before the Egyptians, demonstrating His sovereignty and power to change hearts, even in an oppressive nation. Moses is viewed with great respect, highlighting his leadership and the impact of the plagues (see also Exodus 3:21-22 and Daniel 1:9).

11:4-6 - Moses proclaims the tenth plague: the death of the firstborn of Egypt, from Pharaoh's son to the son of the slave. This event represents the final judgment on Pharaoh's oppression and resistance, showing that God is just and does not tolerate injustice (see also Psalm 135:8-9 and Hebrews 12:23).

11:7 - God makes a distinction between the Egyptians and the Israelites, ensuring that no harm will come to His people. This act underscores God's covenant with Israel and His protection over those who follow His commands (see also Exodus 9:4 and Malachi 3:18).

11:9-10 - Despite the plagues, Pharaoh's heart remains hardened, according to God's plan, so that God's signs and wonders may be fully manifested. This reveals God's patience and the greater purpose of His actions (see also Romans 9:17-18 and John 12:40).
