出埃及記 18

1 梅瑟的岳父，米德楊的司祭耶特洛，聽說天主為梅瑟和自己的百姓以色列所行的一切，聽說上主將以色列人領出了埃及，

and to hear: hear Jethro priest Midian relative Moses [obj] all which to make: do God to/for Moses and to/for Israel people his for to come out: send LORD [obj] Israel from Egypt

2 梅瑟的岳父耶特洛便帶回梅瑟送回去的妻子漆頗辣和

and to take: take Jethro relative Moses [obj] Zipporah woman: wife Moses after parting gift her

3 他兩個兒子：─一個名叫革爾雄，因為梅瑟說：「我在外方作了旅客；」

and [obj] two son: child her which name [the] one Gershom for to say sojourner to be in/on/with land: country/planet foreign

4 一個名叫厄里厄則爾，意謂：「我父親的天主是我的救援，救我脫離了法朗的刀劍。」─

and name [the] one Eliezer for God father my in/on/with helper my and to rescue me from sword Pharaoh

5 梅瑟的岳父耶特洛同梅瑟的兒子和妻子來到了梅瑟那裏，來到曠野，近天主的山，梅瑟安營的地方，

and to come (in): come Jethro relative Moses and son: child his and woman: wife his to(wards) Moses to(wards) [the] wilderness which he/she/it to camp there mountain: mount [the] God

6 便叫人告訴梅瑟說：「看，你的岳父耶特洛來見你，你的妻子和兩個兒子也一同來了。」

and to say to(wards) Moses I relative your Jethro to come (in): come to(wards) you and woman: wife your and two son: child her with her

7 梅瑟就出來迎接他的岳父，向他下拜，口親他，彼此問安，隨後進了營幕。

and to come out: come Moses to/for to encounter: meet relative his and to bow and to kiss to/for him and to ask man: anyone to/for neighbor his to/for peace: well-being and to come (in): come [the] tent [to]

8 梅瑟給他岳父講述了上主為以色列的原故，對法朗和埃及人所行的一切，以及路上遭遇的一切困難，上主怎樣整救了他們。

and to recount Moses to/for relative his [obj] all which to make: do LORD to/for Pharaoh and to/for Egypt upon because Israel [obj] all [the] hardship which to find them in/on/with way: journey and to rescue them LORD

9 耶特洛聽了上主賜給以色列的各種恩惠，從埃及人手中整救了他們，很是高興。

and to rejoice Jethro upon all [the] welfare which to make: do LORD to/for Israel which to rescue him from hand: power Egypt

10 耶特洛說：「上主應受讚頌，他從埃及人和法朗手中拯救了你們，由埃! 人手中救出了這百姓。

and to say Jethro to bless LORD which to rescue [obj] you from hand: owner Egypt and from hand: owner Pharaoh which to rescue [obj] [the] people from underneath: owning hand: owner Egypt

11 現今我知道「雅威」是眾神中最大的，因為他由那些傲慢對待以色列人的埃及手中，救出這百姓。」

now to know for great: large LORD from all [the] God for in/on/with word: because which to boil upon them

12 梅瑟的岳父耶特洛向天主獻了全燔祭和犧牲，亞郎和以色列眾長老都來到天主前，同梅瑟的岳父聚餐。耶特洛的建議

and to take: bring Jethro relative Moses burnt offering and sacrifice to/for God and to come (in): come Aaron and all old: elder Israel to/for to eat food: bread with relative Moses to/for face: before [the] God

13 次日，梅瑟坐著審判百姓的案件，百姓從早晨到晚上站在梅瑟前。

and to be from morrow and to dwell Moses to/for to judge [obj] [the] people and to stand: stand [the] people upon Moses from [the] morning till [the] evening

14 梅瑟的岳父看見他對百姓所行的種種，就說：「你對百姓所作的是什麼事﹖為什麼你獨自一人管理，叫眾百姓從早晨到晚上站在你前﹖」

and to see: see relative Moses [obj] all which he/she/it to make: do to/for people and to say what? [the] word: thing [the] this which you(m. s.) to make: do to/for people why? you(m. s.) to dwell to/for alone you and all [the] people to stand upon you from morning till evening

15 梅瑟回答他岳父說：「因為百姓到我跟前詢問天主。

and to say Moses to/for relative his for to come (in): come to(wards) me [the] people to/for to seek God

16 他們有訴訟的事，就來到我跟前，我便在兩造之間施行審判，講明天主的典章和法律。」

for to be to/for them word: case to come (in): come to(wards) me and to judge between man: anyone and between neighbor his and to know [obj] statute: decree [the] God and [obj] instruction his

17 梅瑟的岳父對他說：「你這樣作不對。

and to say relative Moses to(wards) him not pleasant [the] word: thing which you(m. s.) to make: do

18 不但使你自己疲乏，而且也使你同你一起的百姓疲勞不堪，因為這事超過你的力量，你獨自一人是不能勝任的。

to wither to wither also you(m. s.) also [the] people [the] this which with you for heavy from you [the] word: thing not be able to make: do him to/for alone you

19 現在你聽我的話，我給你出一個主意。願天主與你同在! 你在天主前代表這個百姓，將他們的案件呈到天主前；

now to hear: obey in/on/with voice my to advise you and to be God with you to be you(m. s.) to/for people opposite [the] God and to come (in): bring you(m. s.) [obj] [the] word: case to(wards) [the] God

20 也將典章和法律教訓他們，告訴他們應走的正路，應行的事項。

and to warn [obj] them [obj] [the] statute: decree and [obj] [the] instruction and to know to/for them [obj] [the] way: conduct to go: walk in/on/with her and [obj] [the] deed: work which to make: do [emph?]

21 你要從百姓中挑選有才能，敬畏天主，忠實可靠，捨己無私的人，派他們作千夫長、百夫長，五十夫長、十夫長，

and you(m. s.) to see from all [the] people human strength afraid God human truth: faithful to hate unjust-gain and to set: put upon them ruler thousand ruler hundred ruler fifty and ruler ten

22 叫他們隨時審斷百姓的案件。若有任何重大案件，呈交你處理；其餘一切小案件，可由他們自己處理；叫他們與你分擔，你就輕鬆多了。

and to judge [obj] [the] people in/on/with all time and to be all [the] word: thing [the] great: large to come (in): bring to(wards) you and all [the] word: thing [the] small to judge they(masc.) and to lighten from upon you and to lift: bear with you

23 你若這樣作，─天主也這樣命你─你就抵受得住，眾百姓也能平安，各歸其所。」

if [obj] [the] word: thing [the] this to make: do and to command you God and be able to stand: stand and also all [the] people [the] this upon place his to come (in): come in/on/with peace

24 梅瑟聽從了他岳父的話，也都照他說的行了。

and to hear: hear Moses to/for voice relative his and to make: do all which to say

25 梅瑟從全以色列人選拔了有才能的人，立他們作百姓的頭目，作千夫長、百夫長、五十夫長和十夫長，

and to choose Moses human strength from all Israel and to give: make [obj] them head: leader upon [the] people ruler thousand ruler hundred ruler fifty and ruler ten

26 叫它們隨時審斷百姓的案件；重大的案件，呈交梅瑟處理；一切小案件，由他們自己處理。

and to judge [obj] [the] people in/on/with all time [obj] [the] word: case [the] severe to come (in): bring [emph?] to(wards) Moses and all [the] word: case [the] small to judge they(masc.)

27 以後梅瑟送他岳父回了本地。

and to send: depart Moses [obj] relative his and to go: went to/for him to(wards) land: country/planet his
