Ex 11:1Et dīxit Dominus ad Moysēn: Adhūc ūnā plagā tangam Pharaōnem et Aegyptum, et post haec dīmittet vōs, et exīre compellet.And the Lord said to Moses: "With yet one plague I will touch Pharaoh and Egypt, and after these things he will let you go, and will force you to go out. Ex 11:2Dīcēs ergō omnī plēbī ut postulet vir ab amīcō suō, et mulier ā vīcīnā suā, vāsa argentea et aurea.So you will tell all the people that a man ask of his friend, and a woman of her neighbour, vessels of silver and of gold." Ex 11:3Dabit autem Dominus grātiam populō suō cōram Aegyptiīs.And the Lord will give favour to his people before the Egyptians. Ex 11:3Fuitque Mōysēs vir magnus valdē in terrā Aegyptī cōram servīs Pharaōnis et omnī populō.And Moses was a very great man in the land of Egypt before the servants of Pharaoh and all the people. Ex 11:4Et ait: Haec dīcit Dominus: Mediā nocte ēgrediar in Aegyptum: et moriētur omne prīmogenitum in terrā Aegyptiōrum, ā prīmogenitō Pharaōnis, quī sedet in soliō ejus, ūsque ad prīmogenitum ancillae quae est ad molam, et omnia prīmogenita jūmentōrum.And he said: "Thus says the Lord: 'At midnight I will go out into Egypt: and every firstborn in the land of the Egyptians will die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, to the firstborn of the maidservant who is at the mill, and all the firstborn of beasts.

Ex 11:6Eritque clamor magnus in ūniversā terrā Aegyptī, quālis nec ante fuit, nec posteā futūrus est.And there will be a great shout in all the land of Egypt, such as neither has been before, nor will be afterwards. Ex 11:7Apud omnēs autem fīliōs Isrāël nōn mūtiet canis ab homine ūsque ad pecus: ut sciātis quantō mīrāculō dīvidat Dominus Aegyptiōs et Isrāël.But among all the sons of Israel not a dog will growl, from man to beast: so that you may know with how great a wonder the Lord divides the Egyptians and Israel.' Ex 11:8Dēscendentque omnēs servī tuī istī ad mē, et adōrābunt mē, dīcentēs: Ēgredere tū, et omnis populus quī subjectus est tibi: post haec ēgrediēmur.And all these your servants will come down to me, and will bow down to me, saying: 'Go out, you, and all the people which is subject to you': after these things we will go out." Ex 11:9Et exīvit ā Pharaōne īrātus nimis.And he went out from Pharaoh exceedingly angry. Ex 11:9Dīxit autem Dominus ad Moysēn: Nōn audiet vōs Pharaō ut multa signa fīant in terrā Aegyptī.But the Lord said to Moses: "Pharaoh will not hear you, so that many signs may be done in the land of Egypt."

Ex 11:10Mōysēs autem et Aarōn fēcērunt omnia ostenta, quae scrīpta sunt, cōram Pharaōne.And Moses and Aaron did all the wonders, which are written, before Pharaoh. Ex 11:10Et indūrāvit Dominus cor Pharaōnis, nec dīmīsit fīliōs Isrāël dē terrā suā.And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, nor did he let the sons of Israel go from his land.
