Exodus 18
1 When Iethro the Priest of Midian Moses father in lawe heard all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and howe the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt,
Mose ding'a anupa pa, Jethro Midian thempupa'n Mose le asopi Israel mite chung'a Pakai natoh thil kidang abolho ajadoh tai. Amapan jong Pakaiyin Israel mite Egypt gam'ma kon'na ahin lhatdoh chu ki dang asaval jeng'in ahi.
2 Then Iethro the father in lawe of Moses, tooke Zipporah Moses wife, (after he had sent her away)
Mose'n jong anupa pa, Jethro heng'a ajinu Zipporah le achapateni chu asol'in, chuin amahon insung'a apuilut uvin ahi.
3 And her two sonnes, (whereof the one was called Gershom: for he sayd, I haue bene an aliant in a strange land:
Mose chapa pengmasa min chu Gershom ahin, achapa apen lhah chun Mose'n hiti hin aseiye. “Mi gamsung'a khosa kahi,” tia ana minsah chu ahi.
4 And the name of the other was Eliezer: for the God of my father, said he, was mine helpe, and deliuered me from the sword of Pharaoh)
Ani channa achapa min chu Eliezer asah in, Mose'n hiti hin aseije, “Keima khangluiya pat ka Pathen chun Pharaoh chemjam akon eihuh hing ahi,” tia asah ahi.
5 And Iethro Moses father in law came with his two sonnes, and his wife vnto Moses into the wildernes, where he camped by ye mout of God.
Mose nupa pa, Jethro chu Mose vil lin gammang lam'a ahung tan ahile. Aman ajinu le achapa teni chu ahin puijin, Mose le amiten gamthip lah Pathen molsang kom'a ngahmun akisem nau mun'na ahinpha taovin ahi.
6 And he said to Moses, I thy father in law Iethro am come to thee, and thy wife and her two sonnes with her.
Jethro'in jong Mose chu thu athot tan, “Keima Jethro nanupa pa kahin, keima nangma vil'a najinu le na chapa teni jaona hung kahi,” ati.
7 And Moses went out to meete his father in law, and did obeisance and kissed him, and eche asked other of his welfare: and they came into the tent.
Mose jong pamlam'a agache doh'in anupa pachu agakimu pitai. Amajong akum lhan abeng achop peh tan ahi. Hiti chun khat le khat akilem touvin Mose chen'na ponbuh sung'a alut taovin ahi.
8 Then Moses told his father in law all that the Lord had done vnto Pharaoh, and to the Egyptians for Israels sake, and all the trauaile that had come vnto them by the way, and howe the Lord deliuered them.
Mose'n jong anupa pa heng'a Pakaiyin ichangeiya Egypt gam'a konna Israel mite chung'a na-ahintoh ham ti thudol'a aseipeh'in ahi. Chule lamkah jouse'a thohgim hahsa athoh nau le agenthei najouseo abonchan anupa pa heng'a asei peh in ahi.
9 And Iethro reioyced at all the goodnesse, which the Lord had shewed to Israel, and because he had deliuered them out of the hande of the Egyptians.
Pakaiyin Israelte ichangeiya Egypt mite khut'a kon ahin panpi hitam tithu le ahin huhdohna thudol phatah'a ahet chet phat'in alungthim akipah lheh jeng in ahi.
10 Therfore Iethro sayd, Blessed be the Lord who hath deliuered you out of the hande of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh: who hath also deliuered the people from vnder the hand of the Egyptians.
Jethro'n hiti hin aseiye, “Pathen thangvah in umhen.” “Ajeh chu Aman Pharaoh le Egypt mite akona nahin huhdoh jal in. Henge, Pakai bou chu ahiye Egypt mite thanei na konna na huh doh uva! ati.”
11 Now I know that the Lord is greater then all the gods: for as they haue dealt proudly with them, so are they recompensed.
“Tun keiman ka hechen sel taije, Pakai hi pakai jouse lah a thanei chung nungpen Pakai ahiye. Ajeh chu Aman aban thahat apan'in Egypt mite akiletsah nauva kon'na ahin huhdoh ahi,” ati.
12 Then Iethro Moses father in lawe tooke burnt offerings and sacrifices to offer vnto God. And Aaron and all the Elders of Israel came to eat bread with Moses father in law before God.
Chuin Jethro amachu Mose ding'a anupa pan jong Pathen angsung'a pumgo thilto kilhaina asem in ahi. Aaron le Israel sung'a upa ho ahung uvin Pathen angsung'a kilhaina ankong chu asoh khom uve.
13 Now on the morow, when Moses sate to iudge the people, the people stoode about Moses from morning vnto euen.
Ajing nikhon Mose'n jong atouna a kon'nin mipiho thutan ding'in ahung doh tan ahile, mipiho jong chu nilhum keijin ading tauve.
14 And when Moses father in law saw all that he did to the people, he sayde, What is this that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thy selfe alone, and all the people stande about thee from morning vnto euen?
Mose nupa pan, hitia mipiho chung'a athilbol amudoh phat'in aman Mose heng'a aseijin, “Hiche laimunna hi ipi mong mong tongdoh inge nati ham? Ipi bol mong inge natia jingkah'a kipat nilhah lamchangeiya mipiho hi nahiti din sah hitam?” ati.
15 And Moses sayd vnto his father in law, Because the people come vnto me to seeke God.
Mose'n adonbut'in ajah'a, “Ajeh chu mipiho hi kaheng'a hung uva Pathen akon kavai hopna hi akilah mang kigot uva ahi.”
16 When they haue a matter, they come vnto me, and I iudge betweene one and another, and declare the ordinances of God, and his lawes.
“Amaho hi ahung kinah komu le kaheng ahin jonlut jiuvin, chuteng keiman thu katan peh jiuvin, Pathen akon nun leh khan dan toh kitoh'a Pathen phatsah bang'a ka hilchen jiuva ahiye,” ati.
17 But Moses father in law said vnto him, The thing which thou doest, is not well.
Chuin Mose nupa pan ajah aseiyin, “na thilbol hi adih poije!” ati.
18 Thou both weariest thy selfe greatly, and this people that is with thee: for the thing is too heauie for thee: thou art not able to doe it thy selfe alone.
“Mipi ahin nangma nahin na bon'uva na gimna diuva ahi bouve ajeh chu nathilbol hi abeipon ahi. Nangma changseh adin thi lhah satah khat ahiye,” ati.
19 Heare nowe my voyce, (I will giue thee counsell, and God shalbe with thee) be thou for the people to Godwarde, and report thou the causes vnto God,
“Tun keiman kahil nahiye, ajeh chu keiman kultah'a kahil nahi ngaijin lang Pathen'in naum pijing hen. Mipiho jouse khella hi Pathen ansung'a ding jing nahin, akibaotam nao jouse Pathen angsung'a na selhah ding ahijoi,” ati.
20 And admonish them of the ordinances, and of the lawes, and shew them the way, wherein they must walke, and the worke that they must do.
“Mipiho hi Pathen akon chonna Danho le phatsahna ho hilchen in lang, hichu aboltei na diuva na thumop'a chule ajui cheh na diuva jong nasei ngaija ahi.”
21 Moreouer, prouide thou among al the people men of courage, fearing God, men dealing truely, hating couetousnesse: and appoynt such ouer them to be rulers ouer thousandes, rulers ouer hundreths, rulers ouer fifties, and rulers ouer tennes.
“Ahinlah mipiho lah akonna thilbol thei miman tam, Pathen ging, nehguh chah guh beija natong thei ding nalhen doh ding ahi. Amaho chun mijakhat lah hihen sangkhat lah hihen jakhat lah hijong le aloi loija vaihomma na pansah ding ahiye.”
22 And let them iudge the people at all seasons: but euery great matter let them bring vnto thee, and let them iudge all small causes: so shall it be easier for thee, when they shall beare the burden with thee.
“Phat tinna mipi thutanna napan sah diu, thupi diuva thutanna ding aumvang le nangma heng'a hinpuiyun tin, thuneo hojouse vang chu amahon ama chamma atan lhah jeng theiju ahi. Nangma dia jong agom lam hijo ding chule amahon jong nangma nahin kithopi nau jong ahi,” ati.
23 If thou do this thing, (and God so command thee) both thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go quietly to their place.
“Hichengse hi na jui'a ahile, nangma chunga Pathen in tohding nahin peh teng doujou'na tha naneijoh ding chule mipihon jong lungmoung sella ama ama in cheh akile jut thei diu ahi.”
24 So Moses obeyed the voyce of his father in law, and did all that he had sayd:
Mose'n jong anupa pa Jethro thusei chu angaijin, aman aseibang bang'in aboltan ahile apha lheh jeng tai.
25 And Moses chose men of courage out of all Israel, and made them heads ouer the people, rulers ouer thousandes, rulers ouer hundreths, rulers ouer fifties, and rulers ouer tennes.
Israel mite lah akonin thilbol thei miman tam cheh alheng doh tan. Amaho chengse chu Israel mite lah'a lamkaija pang ding hichu mi sangkhat, jakhat chung'a vaihomin apan sah soh kei uve.
26 And they iudged the people at all seasons, but they brought the hard causes vnto Moses: for they iudged all small matters themselues.
Amaho chun kiphunna le baotam na nei ho chu Mose heng'a ahin lhut lut jiuvin ahi. Thuneo boina hovang chu amahon acham'un a sulham jiuvin ahi,
27 Afterward Moses let his father in law depart, and he went into his countrey.
Hicheho jouse nung hin, Mose'n anupa pa asol in, anupa pa Jethro in jong alam pi ahung'na mama chu ahoh in akile tan ahi.
