Exodus 18
1 Now Moses’ father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, heard about all that God had done for Moses and His people Israel, and how the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt.
Ana nan sai Yetro firist na Midiyan, kuma surukin Musa, ya ji duk abin da Allah ya yi wa Musa da mutanensa Isra’ila, da kuma yadda Ubangiji ya fitar da Isra’ila daga Masar.
2 After Moses had sent back his wife Zipporah, his father-in-law Jethro had received her,
Bayan da Musa ya tura matarsa Ziffora gida, sai surukinsa Yetro ya karɓe ta
3 along with her two sons. One son was named Gershom, for Moses had said, “I have been a foreigner in a foreign land.”
da’ya’yanta biyu maza. Ana kira ɗaya Gershom, domin Musa ya ce, “Na zama baƙo a baƙuwar ƙasa”;
4 The other son was named Eliezer, for Moses had said, “The God of my father was my helper and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.”
ɗayan kuma Eliyezer, domin ya ce, “Allah mahaifina ya taimake ni ya cece ni daga takobin Fir’auna.”
5 Moses’ father-in-law Jethro, along with Moses’ wife and sons, came to him in the desert, where he was encamped at the mountain of God.
Yetro surukin Musa tare da’ya’yan Musa da matarsa suka zo wurin Musa a hamada, inda suka kafa sansani kusa da dutsen Allah
6 He sent word to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons.”
Yetro ya riga ya aika wa Musa cewa, “Ni surukinka Yetro, ina zuwa wurinka tare da matarka da’ya’yanka maza biyu.”
7 So Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and bowed down and kissed him. They greeted each other and went into the tent.
Sai Musa ya tafi yă taryi surukinsa, ya sunkuya ya yi masa sumba. Suka gai da juna, sa’an nan suka shiga tenti.
8 Then Moses recounted to his father-in-law all that the LORD had done to Pharaoh and the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, all the hardships they had encountered along the way, and how the LORD had delivered them.
Musa kuwa ya faɗa wa surukinsa duk abubuwan da Ubangiji ya yi wa Fir’auna da Masarawa domin Isra’ila, da batun wahalolin da suka sha a hanya, da yadda Ubangiji ya cece su.
9 And Jethro rejoiced over all the good things the LORD had done for Israel, whom He had rescued from the hand of the Egyptians.
Yetro ya yi murna da jin duk abubuwa masu kyau da Ubangiji ya yi wa Isra’ila, wajen cetonsu daga hannun Masarawa.
10 Jethro declared, “Blessed be the LORD, who has delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and of Pharaoh, and who has delivered the people from the hand of the Egyptians.
“Yabo ga Ubangiji wanda ya cece ku daga hannun Masarawa da na Fir’auna, wanda kuma ya cece mutanensa daga hannun Masarawa.
11 Now I know that the LORD is greater than all other gods, for He did this when they treated Israel with arrogance.”
Yanzu na san cewa Ubangiji ya fi kowane allah, gama ya yi wannan ga masu girman kai da kuma waɗanda suka wulaƙanta Isra’ila.”
12 Then Moses’ father-in-law Jethro brought a burnt offering and sacrifices to God, and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat bread with Moses’ father-in-law in the presence of God.
Sa’an nan Yetro surukin Musa, ya kawo hadaya ta ƙonawa da waɗansu hadayu wa Allah, Haruna ya zo tare da dukan dattawan Isra’ila, suka ci abinci tare da surukin Musa a gaban Allah.
13 The next day Moses took his seat to judge the people, and they stood around him from morning until evening.
Kashegari, Musa ya zauna domin yă yi wa mutane shari’a, sai suka tsaya kewaye da shi daga safe har yamma.
14 When his father-in-law saw all that Moses was doing for the people, he asked, “What is this that you are doing for the people? Why do you sit alone as judge, with all the people standing around you from morning till evening?”
Sa’ad da surukinsa ya lura da duk abin da Musa yake yi saboda mutane, sai ya ce, “Mene ne wannan da kake yi wa mutane? Don me kai kaɗai kake zama kana yin shari’a wa mutane, yayinda mutanen nan suke tsaya kewaye da kai daga safe har yamma?”
15 “Because the people come to me to inquire of God,” Moses replied.
Musa ya amsa ya ce, “Saboda mutanen suna zuwa wurina, don su nemi nufin Allah.
16 “Whenever they have a dispute, it is brought to me to judge between one man and another, and I make known to them the statutes and laws of God.”
Duk lokacin da suke da gardama, akan kawo su a wurina, ni kuma sai in raba tsakaninsu, in kuma koya musu dokokin Allah da farillansa.”
17 But Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “What you are doing is not good.
Surukin Musa ya amsa ya ce, “Abin da kake yi ba daidai ba ne.
18 Surely you and these people with you will wear yourselves out, because the task is too heavy for you. You cannot handle it alone.
Kai da dukan mutanen da suke zuwa wurinka za ku gajiyar da kanku. Aikin ya fi ƙarfinka; ba za ka iya yinsa kai kaɗai ba.
19 Now listen to me; I will give you some advice, and may God be with you. You must be the people’s representative before God and bring their causes to Him.
Ka kasa kunne gare ni yanzu, zan ba ka shawara, Allah kuma yă kasance tare da kai. Kai za ka zama wakilin mutane a gaban Allah, ka kuma kawo gardamansu gare shi.
20 Teach them the statutes and laws, and show them the way to live and the work they must do.
Ka koya musu dokokinsa da farillarsa, ka kuma nuna musu hanyar rayuwa da ayyukan da za su yi.
21 Furthermore, select capable men from among the people—God-fearing, trustworthy men who are averse to dishonest gain. Appoint them over the people as leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.
Amma ka zaɓi mutane masu iyawa daga dukan mutane, maza masu tsoron Allah, amintattu, masu ƙin rashawa, ka sanya su shugabanni na dubbai, ɗari-ɗari, hamsin-hamsin da goma-goma.
22 Have these men judge the people at all times. Then they can bring you any major issue, but all minor cases they can judge on their own, so that your load may be lightened as they share it with you.
Bari waɗannan mutane su sassanta mutane a kan ƙananan matsaloli, amma kowace babban matsala, ko bukata ta musamman, sai su kawo wurinka, ƙananan matsaloli kuma sai su yanke hukuncin da kansu. Ta haka ne za su taimaka wajen ɗaukan nauyin jama’a, don su sa aikin yă zama maka da sauƙi.
23 If you follow this advice and God so directs you, then you will be able to endure, and all these people can go home in peace.”
In ka yi haka, Allah ya umarta za ka iya jimre gajiyar, kuma dukan mutanen nan za su koma gida da murna.”
24 Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything he said.
Musa ya kasa kunne ga surukinsa, ya kuma aikata duk abin da ya faɗa.
25 So Moses chose capable men from all Israel and made them heads over the people as leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.
Ya zaɓi mutane masu iyawa daga cikin dukan Isra’ila, ya naɗa su shugabannin mutane, shugabanni a kan dubbai, ɗari-ɗari, hamsin-hamsin da goma-goma.
26 And they judged the people at all times; they would bring the difficult cases to Moses, but any minor issue they would judge themselves.
Suka yi hidimar alƙalanci na mutane a dukan lokaci. Gardandamin da suke da wuya, suka kawo wurin Musa, amma ƙananan batuttuwa, suka shari’anta a tsakaninsu.
27 Then Moses sent his father-in-law on his way, and Jethro returned to his own land.
Sa’an nan Musa ya sallame surukinsa Yetro, ya kuwa koma ƙasarsa.
