< 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,
Haddaba wadaadkii Midyaan oo Yetroo ahaa, Muusena soddog u ahaa, ayaa wuxuu maqlay kulli wixii Rabbigu u sameeyey Muuse iyo dadkiisa reer binu Israa'iil, iyo sidii Rabbigu reer binu Israa'iil uga soo bixiyey dalkii Masar.
2 He took Sephora the wife of Moses whom he had sent back:
Markaasaa Yetroo oo Muuse soddog u ahaa ayaa wuxuu soo kexeeyey naagtii Muuse oo ahayd Siforaah, markuu iska diray dabadeed,
3 And her two sons, of whom one was called Gersam, his father saying: I have been a stranger in a foreign country.
iyadii iyo labadeedii wiilba, oo midkood magiciisu wuxuu ahaa Gershoom, waayo, wuxuu yidhi, Qariib baan ku ahaa dal qalaad,
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.
midka kalena magiciisuna wuxuu ahaa Eliiceser; waayo, wuxuu yidhi, Ilaahii aabbahay baa i caawiyey, oo wuxuu iga samatabbixiyey seeftii Fircoon.
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.
Markaasaa Yetroo oo Muuse soddog u ahaa ayaa Muuse ugu yimid cidladii ay degeen oo buurtii Ilaah agteeda ahayd isagoo wada wiilashiisii iyo naagtiisii.
6 And he sent word to Moses, saying: I Jethro thy kinsman come to thee, and thy wife, and thy two sons with her.
Markaasuu wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Anigoo ah Yetroo soddoggaa waan kuu imid aniga iyo naagtaada iyadoo wadata labadeedii wiilba.
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,
Markaasaa Muuse dibadda u baxay inuu ka hor tago soddoggiis, kolkaasuu u sujuuday oo dhunkaday, markaasaa intay iswaraysteen ayay teendhadii soo galeen.
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.
Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu soddoggiis u sheegay kulli wixii Rabbigu ku sameeyey Fircoon iyo Masriyiintii oo uu ugu sameeyey reer binu Israa'iil aawadood, iyo wixii dhib iyaga ku dhacay oo dhan intay soo socdeen, iyo sidii Rabbigu uga samatabbixiyey.
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.
Markaasaa Yetroo ku farxay kulli wanaaggii Rabbigu reer binu Israa'iil u sameeyey oo dhan, iyo bixinta uu ka soo samatabbixiyey gacantii Masriyiinta.
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.
Markaasaa Yetroo wuxuu yidhi, Ammaan waxaa leh Rabbigii idinka soo samatabbixiyey gacantii Masriyiinta, iyo gacantii Fircoon; oo kaasu waa kii dadka ka soo samatabbixiyey gacantii Masriyiinta hoosteeda.
11 Now I know that the Lord is great above all gods: because they dealt proudly against them.
Oo haatan anigu waan ogahay in Rabbigu ka wada weyn yahay ilaahyada oo dhan; waayo, waxyaalihii ay kula macaamiloodeen iyagoo kibirsan aawadeed, isagaa ka sarreeyey.
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.
Markaasaa Yetroo oo Muuse soddog u ahaa ayaa wuxuu qaaday qurbaan la gubo iyo allabaryo. Markaasaa waxaa yimid Haaruun iyo waayeelladii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan inay Ilaah hortiisa kibis kula cunaan Muuse soddoggiis.
13 And the next day Moses sat, to judge the people, who stood by Moses from morning until night.
Markaasaa waxaa maalintii dambe dhacday in Muuse u fadhiistay inuu dadkii u kala gar naqo; dadkiina waxay Muuse ag taagnaayeen subaxdii ilaa makhribkii.
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.
Oo Muuse soddoggiis markuu arkay wixii uu dadkii ku sameeyey oo dhan ayuu yidhi, Waa maxay waxan aad dadka ku samaynaysaa? Oo maxaad keligaa u fadhidaa, dadka oo dhammuna kuu ag taagan yahay subaxda ilaa makhribka?
15 And Moses answered him: The people come to me to seek the judgment of God.
Markaasaa Muuse soddoggiis ku yidhi, Maxaa yeelay, dadku waxay iigu yimaadaan inay Ilaah wax iga weyddiiyaan.
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.
Oo markay wax isu haystaanna anigay ii yimaadaan, oo markaasaan u kala gar naqaa nin iyo deriskiisa, oo waxaan iyaga ogeysiiyaa amarrada Ilaah iyo qaynuunnadiisa.
17 But he said: The thing thou dost is not good.
Markaasaa Muuse soddoggiis wuxuu isaga ku yidhi, War waxaad samaysaa ma wanaagsana.
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.
Waayo, hubaal waad ku daali doontaan, adiga iyo dadka kula joogaaba, maxaa yeelay, waxanu waa kugu culus yihiin adiga; oo ma aad awooddid inaad keli ahaantaa samayso.
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:
Haddaba bal i dhegayso oo waan kula talinayaaye, oo Ilaahna ha kula jiro. Adigu dadka daraaddiis Ilaah u dhowow, oo arrimahoodana Ilaah u keen.
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.
Oo waa inaad iyaga bartaa amarrada iyo qaynuunnada, oo waa inaad iyaga tustaa jidkii ay mari lahaayeen, iyo shuqulkii ay qaban lahaayeen.
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.
Oo weliba waa inaad dadka oo dhan kala soo baxdaa rag karti leh, oo Ilaah ka cabsada, oo daacad ah, oo neceb faa'iidada xaqdarrada ah, oo kuwo caynkaas ah madax uga dhig, inay ahaadaan kuwo kun kun u taliya, iyo kuwo boqol boqol u taliya, iyo kuwo konton konton u taliya, iyo kuwo toban toban u taliya,
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.
oo kuwaasu dadka ha u gar naqeen had iyo goor, oo waxay noqon doontaa in wixii weyn oo dhan ay adiga kuu keenaan, laakiinse wixii yar oo dhan ay iyagu ka gar naqi doonaan; oo sidaasaa hawshu kaaga yaraan doontaa, oo iyana hawshay kula qaybsan doonaan.
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.
Oo haddaad waxan samaysid, oo haddii Ilaah sidan kugu amro, de markaas waad adkaysan kari doontaa, oo dadkan oo dhammuna meeshooda ayay nabad ku tegi doonaan.
24 And when Moses heard this, he did all things that he had suggested unto him.
Sidaas daraaddeed Muuse wuu dhegaystay hadalkii soddoggiis, wuuna wada sameeyey wixii uu ku yidhi oo dhan.
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.
Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan ka doortay rag karti leh, oo wuxuu ka dhigay madaxdii dadka, oo ah kuwo kun kun u taliya, iyo kuwo boqol boqol u taliya, iyo kuwo konton konton u taliya, iyo kuwo toban toban u taliya.
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.
Oo dadkay u gar naqi jireen had iyo goorba, oo arrimaha adadagna waxay u keeni jireen Muuse, laakiinse wixii yaryar oo dhan iyagaa ka gar naqi jiray.
27 And he let his kinsman depart: and he returned and went into his own country.
Markaasaa Muuse u oggolaaday soddoggiis inuu tago, isna dalkiisii ayuu tegey.
