Exodus 18
1 And Jothor the priest of Madiam, the father-in-law of Moses, heard of all that the Lord did to his people Israel; for the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt.
Jethro, papa tumun mutan kial Moses ac el mwet tol lun Midian, el tuh lohng ke ma nukewa ma God El oru kacl Moses ac ke mwet lal mwet Israel ke LEUM GOD El kololosla liki acn Egypt.
2 And Jothor the father-in-law of Moses, took Sepphora the wife of Moses after she had been sent away,
Ouinge Jethro el tuku nu yorol Moses, ac usalu Zipporah, mutan kial Moses su Moses el tuh folokunulla,
3 and her two sons: the name of the one was Gersam, [his father] saying, I was a sojourner in a strange land; —
oayapa Gershom ac Eliezer, wen luo natul Zipporah. (Moses el tuh fahk, “Nga sie mwetsac in sie pacna facl,” pa oru el sang inen sie wen natul ah Gershom.
4 and the name of the second Eliezer, saying, For the God of my father [is] my helper, and he has rescued me out of the hand of Pharao.
El tuh oayapa fahk, “God lun papa tumuk El kasreyu moliyula ngan tia anwuki sin tokosra Egypt,” pa oru el sang inen tulik se ngia Eliezer.)
5 And Jothor the father-in-law of Moses, and his sons and his wife, went forth to Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped on the mount of God.
Jethro el tuku, us mutan kial Moses ac wen luo natul nu yen mwesis, yen Moses el mutangan aktuktuk we ke eol mutal.
6 And it was told Moses, saying, Behold, your father-in-law Jothor is coming to you, and your wife and two sons with him.
El supwala kas nu sel Moses lah elos ac tuku,
7 And Moses went forth to meet his father-in-law, and did him reverence, and kissed him, and they embraced each other, and he brought them into the tent.
ouinge Moses el illa som in osun nu sel, pasr ye mutal ac ngok mutal. Eltal siyuk sin sie sin sie lah moul laltal fuka, na eltal utyak nu in lohm nuknuk sel Moses.
8 And Moses related to his father-in-law all things that the Lord did to Pharao and all the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the labour that had befallen them in the way, and that the Lord had rescued them out of the hand of Pharao, and out of the hand of the Egyptians.
Moses el fahkang nu sel Jethro ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD El tuh oru nu sin tokosra ac nu sin mwet Egypt in pwanang moliyukla mwet Israel. El oayapa fahk nu sel ke ma upa nukewa ma sikyak nu selos inkanek lalos, ac fuka LEUM GOD El molelosla.
9 And Jothor was amazed at all the good things which the Lord did to them, forasmuch as he rescued them out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharao.
Ke Jethro el lohng tari ma inge nukewa, el engan
10 And Jothor said, Blessed be the Lord, because he has rescued them out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharao.
ac fahk, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD, su molikowosla liki mwet Egypt ac tokosra lalos! Kaksakin LEUM GOD, su molela mwet lal liki moul in mwet kohs!
11 Now know I that the Lord is great above all gods, because of this, wherein they attacked them.
Inge nga etu lah LEUM GOD El fulat liki god nukewa, mweyen El molela mwet Israel ke pacl mwet Egypt uh oru koluk nu selos ke sripen angyang lun insialos.”
12 And Jothor the father-in-law of Moses took whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for God, for Aaron and all the elders of Israel came to eat bread with the father-in-law of Moses before God.
Na Jethro el use soko kosro in fonna kisakinyuk in mwe kisa firir, wi pac mwe kisa saya in kisakinyuk nu sin LEUM GOD. Ac Aaron ac mwet kol lun Israel nukewa welul som mongo ke mwe mongo mutal inge ye mutun God.
13 And it came to pass after the morrow that Moses sat to judge the people, and all the people stood by Moses from morning till evening.
Ke len tok ah Moses el kafofo ke aksuwosye amei inmasrlon mwet uh, su tu ye mutal ke lotutang nwe ke fongeni.
14 And Jothor having seen all that [Moses] did to the people, says, What is this that you do to the people? therefore sit you alone, and all the people stand by you from morning till evening?
Ke Jethro el liye ma nukewa Moses el oru nu sin mwet uh, el siyuk, “Meawin kom oru nu sin mwet uh inge? Efu ku kom mukena oru ma inge, ke mwet uh tu inge lotutang nwe ke fongeni soano pacl lalos yurum?”
15 And Moses says to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me to seek judgement from God.
Moses el topuk, “Mweyen mwet uh tuku nu yuruk in siyuk ke ma lungse lun God.
16 For whenever there is a dispute amongst them, and they come to me, I give judgement upon each, and I teach them the ordinances of God and his law.
Pacl se mwet luo ac ameila, eltal ac tuku nu yuruk, ac nga ac wotela lah su seltal pwaye, ac nga aketeya ma sap ac oakwuk lun God nu seltal.”
17 And the father-in-law of Moses said to him, You do not this thing rightly,
Na Jethro el fahk, “Tia pa ingan ma kom ac oru.
18 you will wear away with intolerable weariness, both those and all this people which is with you: this thing is hard, you will not be able to endure it yourself alone.
Kom sifacna akmunasyekomla ac oayapa mwet lom inge. Orekma se inge arulana toasr nu sum in mukena oru.
19 Now then listen to me, and I will advise you, and God shall be with you: be you to the people in the things pertaining to God, and you shall bring their matters to God.
Inge, porongo kas in kasru luk nu sum, ac God El ac fah wi kom. Fal kom in aol mwet uh ye mutun God, ac sang mwe elya lalos nu sel.
20 And you shall testify to them the ordinances of God and his law, and you shall show to them the ways in which they shall walk, and the works which they shall do.
Kom enenu in lotelos ma sap lun God, ac aketeya nu selos lah elos ac moul fuka, ac mea fal elos in oru.
21 And do you look out for yourself out of all the people able men, fearing God, righteous men, hating pride, and you shall set over the people captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens.
Tusruktu, kom enenu in sulela kutu mwet ma fal ac pah in nunak tuh elos in mwet kol lun mwet uh — mwet kol nu fin tausin, fin foko, fin lumngaul ac fin singoul. Mwet inge elos in mwet sangeng sin God, su ku in lulalfongiyuk ac tia wela eyeinse lun mwet.
22 And they shall judge the people at all times, and the too burdensome matter they shall bring to you, but they shall judge the smaller cases; so they shall relieve you and help you.
Lela elos in kulansap oana mwet nununku nu sin mwet ma elos leum fac uh ke pacl nukewa. Elos fah use ma upa nukewa nu yurum, tusruktu elos ku in sifacna wotela elya srisrik nukewa uh. Fin ouinge, ac fisrasr nu sum ke elos kasrekom in sruhk orekma toasr kunom inge.
23 If you will do this thing, God shall strengthen you, and you shall be able to attend, and all this people shall come with peace into their own place.
Kom fin oru ouinge, oana ma God El sapkin, kom ac fah tia totola, ac mwet inge nukewa ac ku in folok nu acn selos ke inse misla mweyen elya lalos uh akwoyeyukla.”
24 And Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did whatever he said to him.
Moses el insese nu ke kas in kasru lal Jethro
25 And Moses chose out able men out of all Israel, and he made them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties and captains of tens over the people.
ac el sulela mwet ma fal ac pah in nunak sin mwet Israel nukewa tuh elos in mwet kol fin tausin, foko, lumngaul, ac singoul.
26 And they judged the people at all times; and every too burdensome matter they brought to Moses, but every light matter they judged themselves.
In pacl sac fahla, mwet inge elos oru orekma lun mwet nununku nu sin mwet Israel. Ma yohk ac upa elos us nu yorol Moses, ac elos sifacna wotela amei srisrik.
27 And Moses dismissed his father-in-law, and he returned to his own land.
Na Moses el wilkas nu sel Jethro, ac Jethro el folokla nu yen sel ah.
