1滅頭生之災耶和華對摩西說：“我再使一種災禍臨到法老和埃及，然後法老他必讓你們離開這裡。他讓你們離開的時候，必全部趕逐你們離開這地。
1Yahweh said to Moses, “Yet one plague more will I bring on Pharaoh, and on Egypt; afterwards he will let you go. When he lets you go, he will surely thrust you out altogether.
2現在你要告訴人民，叫他們男女各人向自己的鄰舍索取銀器金器。”
2Speak 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耶和華使人民在埃及人眼前蒙恩，同時摩西在埃及地，在法老臣僕的眼前和人民的眼前都成了偉大的人物。
3Yahweh 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摩西說：“耶和華這樣說：‘大約半夜的時候，我要出去巡行埃及地。
4Moses said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt,
5在埃及地所有頭生的都必死亡，就是從坐王位的法老的長子，直到推磨的婢女的長子，以及一切頭生的牲畜都必死亡。
5and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the female servant who is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of livestock.
6在埃及全地必有大哀號；這樣的哀號從前未曾有過，以後也必再沒有。
6There shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has not been, nor shall be any more.
7但是對於所有的以色列人，無論是人或是牲畜，連狗也不敢向他們叫吠；為要使你們知道耶和華是把埃及人和以色列人分別出來的’。
7But against any of the children of Israel a dog won’t even bark or move its tongue, against man or animal; that you may know that Yahweh makes a distinction between the Egyptians and Israel.
8你所有的臣僕都必下到我這裡來，向我下跪說：‘你和所有跟從你的人民都出去吧’，然後我才出去。”於是摩西氣忿忿地離開法老出去了。
8All these your servants shall come down to me, and bow down themselves to me, saying, “Get out, with all the people who follow you”; and after that I will go out.’” He went out from Pharaoh in hot anger.
9耶和華對摩西說：“法老必不聽你們的話，好使我的神蹟在埃及地加增起來。”
9Yahweh said to Moses, “Pharaoh won’t listen to you, that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.”
10摩西和亞倫在法老面前行了這一切神蹟；但耶和華使法老的心剛硬，所以他不肯讓以色列人離開他的地。
10Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, and Yahweh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go out of his land.
