Exodus 18
1 And when Jethro the priest of Madian, the kinsman of Moses, had heard all the things that God had done to Moses, and to Israel his people, and that the Lord had brought forth Israel out of Egypt,
Ni Jetro a padi dagiti Midian, a katugangan a lalaki ni Moises ket nangngegna amin nga inaramid ti Dios para kenni Moises ken para iti Israel a tattaona. Nangngegna nga inruar ni Yahweh ti Israel manipud iti Egipto.
2 He took Sephora the wife of Moses whom he had sent back:
Inkuyog ni Jetro, a katugangan ni Moises, ni Sipora nga asawa ni Moises, kalpasan nga imbaonna isuna idiay balayda,
3 And her two sons, of whom one was called Gersam, his father saying: I have been a stranger in a foreign country.
ken dagiti dua nga annakna a lallaki; ti nagan ti maysa ket Gersom, ta kinuna ni Moises, “Nagbalinak a ganggannaet iti sabali a daga.”
4 And the other Eliezer: For the God of my father, said he, is my helper, and hath delivered me from the sword of Pharao.
Ti nagan ti maysa ket Eliezer, ta kinuna ni Moises, “Ti Dios dagiti kapuonak ti katulongak. Inispalnak manipud iti kampilan ni Faraon.”
5 And Jethro the kinsman of Moses came with his sons and his wife, to Moses into the desert, where he was camped by the mountain of God.
Napan kenni Moises ni Jetro a katuganganna, kaduana dagiti putot a lallaki ni Moises ken ti asawana idiay let-ang a nagkampoanna idiay bantay ti Dios.
6 And he sent word to Moses, saying: I Jethro thy kinsman come to thee, and thy wife, and thy two sons with her.
Kinunana kenni Moises, “Siak, ti katugangam a ni Jetro, ket umayak kenka a kaduak ti asawam ken dagiti dua a putotmo a lallaki.”
7 And he went out to meet his kinsman, and worshipped and kissed him: and they saluted one another with words of peace. And when he was come into the tent,
Rimmuar ni Moises a nangsabat iti katuganganna, nagdumog ken inagkanna isuna. Nagkinnomustada maipanggep iti kasasaad ti tunggal maysa ket sada simrek iti tolda.
8 Moses told his kinsman all that the Lord had done to Pharao, and the Egyptians, in favour of Israel: and all the labour which had befallen them in the journey, and that the Lord had delivered them.
Imbaga ni Moises iti katuganganna ti amin nga inaramid ni Yahweh kenni Faraon ken kadagiti Egipcio para iti pagimbagan ti Israel, maipanggep kadagiti amin a rigrigat a napadtengda kabayatan ti kaaddada iti dalan, ken no kasano nga inispal ida ni Yahweh.
9 And Jethro rejoiced for all the good things that the Lord had done to Israel, because he had delivered them out of the hands of the Egyptians.
Nagrag-o ni Jetro iti amin a nasayaat nga inaramid ni Yahweh iti Israel, iti panangispalna kadakuada manipud iti ima dagiti Egipcio.
10 And he said: Blessed is the Lord, who hath delivered you out of the hand of Pharao, and out of the hand of the Egyptians, who hath delivered his people out of the hand of Egypt.
Kinuna ni Jetro, “Maidaydayaw koma ni Yahweh, ta inispalnakayo manipud iti ima dagiti Egipcio ken iti ima ni Faraon, ken winayawayaanna dagiti tattao manipud iti panangtengngelda.
11 Now I know that the Lord is great above all gods: because they dealt proudly against them.
Ita, ammok a nain-indaklan ni Yahweh ngem dagiti amin a didiosen, gapu ta idi trinato dagiti Egipcio dagiti Israelita a sitatangsit, inispal ti Dios dagiti tattaona.”
12 So Jethro the kinsman of Moses offered holocausts and sacrifices to God: and Aaron and all the ancients of Israel came, to eat bread with them before God.
Nangiyeg ni Jetro, a katugangan ni Moises iti daton a maipuor amin ken datdaton a maipaay iti Dios. Immay ni Aaron ken dagiti amin a panglakayen ti Israel a mangan iti sangoanan ni Yahweh a kaduada ti katugangan ni Moises.
13 And the next day Moses sat, to judge the people, who stood by Moses from morning until night.
Iti simmaruno nga aldaw, nagtugaw ni Moises tapno mangukom kadagiti tattao. Nagtakder dagiti tattao iti aglawlawna manipud bigat agingga iti rabii.
14 And when his kinsman had seen all things that he did among the people, he said: What is it that thou dost among the people? Why sittest thou alone, and all the people wait from morning till night.
Idi nakita ti katugangan ni Moises amin nga inaramidna para kadagiti tattao, kinunana, “Ania daytoy nga ar-aramidem kadagiti tattao? Apay nga agtugtugawka nga agmaymaysa ket agtaktakder iti aglawlawmo dagiti amin a tattao manipud iti bigat agingga iti rabii?”
15 And Moses answered him: The people come to me to seek the judgment of God.
Kinuna ni Moises iti katuganganna, “Umay kaniak dagiti tattao a dumawat iti panangiwanwan ti Dios.
16 And when any controversy falleth out among them, they come to me to judge between them, and to shew the precepts of God, and his laws.
No addaanda iti saan a pagkikinnaawatan, umayda kaniak. Mangngeddengak iti nagbaetan dagiti tattao, ken isursurok kadakuada ti maipanggep kadagiti alagaden ken linteg ti Dios.”
17 But he said: The thing thou dost is not good.
Kinuna ti katugangan ni Moises kenkuana, “Saan a nasayaat ti ar-aramidem.
18 Thou are spent with foolish labour, both thou and this people that is with thee: the business is above thy strength, thou alone canst not bear it.
Awan dua-dua a maibusto ti pigsam ken dagiti tattao nga umay kenka, gapu ta nadagsen unay a trabaho daytoy para kenka. Saanmo a maaramid daytoy a siksika.
19 But hear my words and counsels, and God shall be with thee. Be thou to the people in those things that pertain to God, to bring their words to him:
Dinggennak. Balakadanka ket makikaaddanto ti Dios kenka gapu ta sika ti mangibagbagi kadagiti tattao ti Dios, ken sika ti mangiyum-uman kenkuana kadagiti saanda a pagkikinnaawatan.
20 And to shew the people the ceremonies and the manner of worshipping, and the way wherein they ought to walk, and the work that they ought to do.
Masapul nga isurom kadakuada dagiti alagaden ken lintegna. Masapul nga ipakitam kadakuada ti dalan a surotenda iti panagbiagda ken ti trabaho nga aramidenda.
21 And provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, in whom there is truth, and that hate avarice, and appoint of them rulers of thousands, and of hundreds, and of fifties, and of tens.
Maysa pay, nasken a mangpilika kadagiti makabael a lallaki manipud kadagiti amin a tattao, lallaki a mangraraem iti Dios, lallaki a napudno ken manggurgura iti saan a nalinteg a panangtagikua. Masapul a pagturayem ida kadagiti tattao, nga agbalin a mangidaulo a mangimaton kadagiti sagsasangaribu, sagsasangagasut, saglilimapulo ken sagsasangapulo.
22 Who may judge the people at all times: and when any great matter soever shall fall out, let them refer it to thee, and let them judge the lesser matters only: that so it may be lighter for thee, the burden being shared out unto others.
Isuda ti mangukom kadagiti tattao iti amin a kadawyan a parikut, ngem iyegda kenka dagiti naririgat a parikut. No maipapan kadagiti amin a babassit a parikut, mabalinda nga ukomen dagidiay nga is-isuda. Iti dayta a wagas, nalaklakanto para kenka, ken makipag-baklaydanto kenka iti dadagsen.
23 If thou dost this, thou shalt fulfill the commandment of God, and shalt be able to bear his precepts: and all this people shall return to their places with peace.
No aramidem daytoy, ken no isu't bilin ti Dios nga aramidem, ket maibturamto, ken makaawidto dagiti amin a tattao a napnapnek.”
24 And when Moses heard this, he did all things that he had suggested unto him.
Dimngeg ngarud ni Moises kadagiti sao ti katuganganna a lalaki ken inaramidna ti amin nga imbaga daytoy.
25 And choosing able men out of all Israel, he appointed them rulers of the people, rulers over thousands, and over hundreds, and over fifties, and over tens.
Nangpili ni Moises kadagiti makabael a lallaki manipud iti amin nga Israel ket pinagbalinna ida a mangidadaulo kadagiti amin a tattao, mangidadaulo kadagiti sagsasangaribu, sagsasangagasut, saglilimapulo, ken sagsasangapulo.
26 And they judged the people at all times: and whatsoever was of greater difficulty they referred to him, and they judged the easier cases only.
Inukomda dagiti tattao kadagiti gagangay a pasamak. Inyegda kenni Moises dagiti naririgat a parikut, ngem rinisutda nga is-isuda dagiti amin a babassit a parikut.
27 And he let his kinsman depart: and he returned and went into his own country.
Kalpasanna, pinalubosan ni Moises a pumanaw ti katuganganna a lalaki, ket nagsubli ni Jetro iti bukodna a daga.
