Exodus 18

1 And Jethro the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done to Moses, and to Israel his people; that Jehovah had brought Israel out of Egypt.

Jetro'a Mitieni vahe'mokizmi pristi nekino, Mosesena nenemo'e. Maka'zama Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesene Agri'a vahe Israeli vahe'ma huzmante'neazana Jetro'a antahi'ne. Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli vea'ene Mosesenema huzmanteno Isipiti'ma zamavreno atirami'nea zamofo nanekea antahi'ne.

2 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,

Mosese'a nenaro Ziporama huntegeno agranema umani'nenereti Jetro'a nevreno,

3 and her two sons, of whom the name of the one was Gershom — for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land,

tare ne' mofavre'ararena znavreno e'ne. Mosese'a huno, Ru vahe'mofo mopafi emani'noe nehuno, agonesa mofavre'amofo agi'a Gesomu'e huno ante'ne.

4 — and the name of the other, Eliezer — For the God of my father has been my help, and has delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.

Hagi Mosese'a anante mofavre'amofo agi'a Eliesa'e hu'ne. Na'ankure nafa'nimofo Anumzamo naza higeno, Isipi kini ne'mofo bainati kazimo'a onahe'negure hu'ne.

5 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came to Moses with his sons and his wife into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mountain of God.

Hagi anantera Mosese nenemo Jetro'a, Mosese nenarone mofavre'ararene nezamavreno, ka'ma mopafi Mosese'ma Anumzamofo agona me'nerega seli noma kino mani'nere vu'ne.

6 And he sent word to Moses: I, thy father-in-law Jethro, am come to thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.

Jetro'a amanage huno Mosesentega kea atrente'ne, Nagra neganemo'na aka'ane tare mofavreka'ane zamavare'na kagenaku neone.

7 And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other [after] their welfare, and went into the tent.

Hagi Mosese'a ana nanekema nentahino vuno nenemo ome negeno, rena omenereno, otino antako hunenteno, hu frufra huntetege'ne, Mosese seli nompinka ufre'na'e.

8 And Moses told his father-in-law all that Jehovah had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake; all the trouble that had befallen them on the way, and [how] Jehovah had delivered them.

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a zamaza huno Isipi kini ne' Fero azampinti'ene Isipi vahe zamazampinti'ma zamahokeno zmavre fegi atre'nea nanekene, karanka zamavreno ne-ege'za maka knazama eri'za neageno, Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli vahe'ma zamazama huno e'nea naneke'a Mosese'a nenemo nera Jetrona asmi'ne.

9 And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness that Jehovah had done to Israel; that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.

Anumzamo'ma knare'zantfa huno Isipi vahe'mokizmi zamazampinti zamahokeno zamavreno atirami'nea nanekea Jetro'a nentahino, tusi'a muse hu'ne.

10 And Jethro said, Blessed be Jehovah, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh; who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.

Anante Jetro'a amanage hu'ne, Isipi vahe'mofo azampinti'ene Fero azampinti'ene Isipi vahe'mofo kvafinti'ma tamahokeno'ma tamavreno atirami'nea Ra Anumzamofona ra agi'a hentesga hue.

11 Now I know that Jehovah is greater than all gods; for in the thing in which they acted haughtily [he was] above them.

Hagi menina nagra antahi'noe, mika havi anumzantamina agtereno, hihamu'ane Ra Anumzana tamage huno Agrake mani'ne. Na'ankure Isipi kva vahe'mo'zama zmavufga ra nehu'za, Agri vahe'ma Israeli vahe zamazeri haviza huzmante'naza vahera, zamazeri haviza hu'ne.

12 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took a burnt-offering and sacrifices for God; and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law in the presence of God.

Hagi Mosese nenemo Jetro'a tevefima kre fananema hu ofa erino, Anumzamofo Kresramana vunentegeno, anante Aroni zane, Israeli kva vahe'mo'za Jetro'ene emetru hu'za Anumzamofo avurera ne'zana ne'naze.

13 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people; and the people stood by Moses from the morning to the evening.

Hagi maseno nanterana Mosese'a keagama refkohu trate mani'nege'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za emetru hu'za regagi'za oti'nazageno, mago'magomofo nanekea refko huno nentahigeno, vuno kinaga ome ase'ne.

14 And Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did with the people, and said, What is this thing which thou art doing with the people? why dost thou sit alone, and all the people are standing by thee from morning to evening?

E'inahu'zama Mosese'ma vahe'mokizmima hunezmantegeno, nenemo Jetro'a negeno amanage hu'ne, nankna'za ama vahe'mofona hunezmantane? Na'a agafare kagrakera mani'nenka nanekea refko nehankeno, ama vahe'mo'za oti'za mani'nazageno vuno kinaga omenese?

15 And Moses said to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me to enquire of God.

Mosese'a ana kemofo nona'a amanage huno nenemo Jetrona asami'ne, Na'ankure zamagra Anumzamofo avesi'za antahinaku nagritera emetru hu'za mani'naze.

16 When they have a matter, they come to me, and I judge between one and another; and I make known [to them] the statutes of God, and his laws.

Hagi tava'ozmire'ma mani'naza vahe'enema zmagrama ha'frama nehu'za, nagrite azage'na zamaza hu'na naneke'zimia antahi'na refko nehu'na, Anumzamofo tra kene, kasegenena eri ama hu'na nezmasamue.

17 And Moses' father-in-law said to him, The thing that thou art doing is not good.

Higeno Jetro'a anage huno nenemo nera Mosesena asami'ne. E'inahu zama nehanana knare zana nosane.

18 Thou wilt be quite exhausted, both thou and this people that is with thee; for the thing is too heavy for thee: thou canst not perform it alone.

Ama eri'zana kna'a me'neankinka, kagrakera e'origahane. Kagrane vahe'ka'anena tamage huno tamavesra hugahie.

19 Hearken now to my voice: I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee. Be thou for the people with God, and bring the matters before God;

Hagi menina ke'ni'a antahio, nagra antahintahia kamisugeno Anumzamo'a kagrane manigahie. Kagra vahe'mokizmi zmagi erinka Anumzamofo avure mani'nenka, vahe'mo'zama ha'frama hanaza zana erinka Anumzamofo ome asamigahane.

20 and teach them the statutes and the laws, and make known to them the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must do.

Ana nehunka kagra Anumzamofo tra kene kasegenena vahera rempi hunezminka, mani'zazimi eri fatgo hu'za kama nevu'za, eri'zama erisaza zamofona zmaveri hughane.

21 But do thou provide among all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place [them] over them, chiefs of thousands, chiefs of hundreds, chiefs of fifties, and chiefs of tens,

Hagi mago'ane Jetro'a huno, Vahepintira tamagema huno eri'zama eriga'ma nehuno, Anumzamofonku'ma kore'ma hunenteno, krunage'ma huno fenoma eri'zanku avesra nehia vahe'ene, huhampri zamantege'za 1 tauseni'a vahete kva manina, 1 hantreti'a vahete kva manina, 50'a vahete kva manina 10ni'a vahete kva manitere hiho.

22 that they may judge the people at all times; and it shall be [that] they shall bring to thee every great matter, and that they shall judge every small matter, and they shall lighten [the task] on thee, and they shall bear [it] with thee.

E'i ana kva vahe'mokizmi zamatrege'za maka knafina, vahe'mokizmi knazana refko huzmanteho. Hianagi ra hazenke'zana kagrite eri'za esagenka refko huzmanto. Hianagi ne'one knazazamia ana kva vahe'mo'za eri fatgo nehanageno, knama e'nerina zamo'a osi'a o'za hugantegahie.

23 If thou do this thing, and God command thee [so], thou wilt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.

Amama negasmua kema amage nentesankeno, Anumzamo kama kaverima hanigenka kazikazi hunka mika eri'zana knare hunka e'nerisankeno, vahe'mo'za muse nehu'za zamarimpa fru'ne nozimirega vu'za e'za hugahaze.

24 And Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said.

Mosese'a, Jetro'ma asmi'nea kea antahino, ana maka kea amage ante'ne.

25 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, chiefs of thousands, chiefs of hundreds, chiefs of fifties, and chiefs of tens.

Hagi Israeli vahepinti knare'nare vahe'a Mosese'a huhampri zmantege'za, kva vahera mani'za 1 tauseni'a vahe'mokizmi kva nemanizageno, 100'a vahe'mokizmi kva nemanizageno, 50'a vahe'mokizmi kva nemanizageno, 10ni'a vahe'mokizmi kva manitere hu'za kegava hu'naze.

26 And they judged the people at all times: the hard matters they brought to Moses, but every small matter they judged.

Ana kva vahe'mo'za maka knafina, refko'ma huga knazana zamagra'a refko hu'naze. Hianagi amuhoma hianknazamofo keaga eri'za Mosesente vu'naze.

27 And Moses sent away his father-in-law, and he departed into his land.

Anante Mosese'a nenemo nera Jetrona hu frufra huntegeno mopa'arega ete vu'ne.
