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,
मिद्यानका पुजारी मोशाका ससुरा यित्रोले मोशा र तिनको जाति इस्राएललाई परमेश्वरले गर्नुभएका सबै कुरा सुने । परमप्रभुले इस्राएललाई मिश्रबाट ल्याउनुभएको थियो भनी तिनले सुने ।
2 Then Iethro the father in lawe of Moses, tooke Zipporah Moses wife, (after he had sent her away)
मोशाले आफ्नी पत्नीलाई माइत पठाएपछि तिनका ससुरा यित्रोले सिप्पोरा
3 And her two sonnes, (whereof the one was called Gershom: for he sayd, I haue bene an aliant in a strange land:
र उनका दुई जना छोरालाई लिए । पहिलो छोरोको नाउँ गेर्शोम थियो किनकि मोशाले भने, “म परदेशी भूमिमा परदेशी भएर बसेको थिएँ ।”
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)
अर्को छोरोको नाउँ एलीएजर थियो किनकि मोशाले भनेका थिए, “मेरा पिता-पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वर मेरो सहयोग हुनुहुन्थ्यो । उहाँले मलाई फारोको तरवारबाट छुटकारा दिनुभयो ।”
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.
मोशाका ससुरा यित्रो मोशाका छोराहरू र मोशाकी पत्नी लिएर उजाड-स्थानमा मोशाकहाँ आए जहाँ तिनले परमेश्वरको पर्वतमा छाउनी हालेका थिए ।
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.
तिनले मोशालाई भने, “तिम्री पत्नी र तिम्रा दुई छोरा लिएर म तिम्रो ससुरा यित्रो आउँदै छु ।”
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.
मोशा आफ्ना ससुरालाई भेट्न गए अनि ढोगेर तिनलाई चुम्बन गरे । तिनीहरूले एक-अर्काका हालखबर सोधपुछ गरे अनि पालभित्र प्रवेश गरे ।
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.
परमप्रभुले इस्राएलको खातिर फारो र मिश्रीहरूलाई गर्नुभएको सबै कुरा अनि बाटोमा तिनीहरूले झेलेका सबै कठिनाइको बाबजुत पनि परमप्रभुले कसरी तिनीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिनुभयो भन्ने विषयमा आफ्ना ससुरा यित्रोलाई बताए ।
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.
परमप्रभुले इस्राएलको निम्ति गर्नुभएका सबै असल कुरा सुनेर यित्रो रमाए किनकि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई मिश्रीहरूको हातबाट छुटकारा दिनुभएको थियो ।
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.
यित्रोले भने, “परमप्रभुको स्तुति होस् किनकि उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई फारो र मिश्रीहरूको हातबाट छुटकारा दिनुभएको छ, र मिश्रीहरूको हातबाट उद्धार गर्नुभएको छ ।
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.
अब मलाई थाहा भयो कि परमप्रभु अरू सबै देवभन्दा महान् हुनुहुँदोरहेछ किनकि मिश्रीहरूले इस्राएलीहरूलाई अभिमानपूर्वक व्यवहार गर्दा परमेश्वरले आफ्नो जातिलाई छुटकारा दिनुभयो ।”
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.
मोशाका ससुरा यित्रोले परमेश्वरको लागि होमबलि र बलिदानहरू ल्याए । हारून र इस्राएलका सबै धर्म-गुरु मोशाका ससुरासितै भोजन खान परमेश्वरको अगि उपस्थित भए ।
13 Now on the morow, when Moses sate to iudge the people, the people stoode about Moses from morning vnto euen.
अर्को दिन मोशा मानिसहरूको इन्साफ गर्न बसे । मानिसहरू बिहानदेखि बेलुकासम्म तिनको वरिपरि खडा भए ।
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?
मोशाले आफ्ना मानिसहरूका निम्ति गरेका सबै कुरा तिनका ससुराले देखेपछि तिनले भने, “तिमीले मानिसहरूसित गरिरहेको यो के हो? किन तिमी एक्लै बस्छौ? किन मानिसहरू बिहानदेखि बेलुकासम्म तिम्रो वरिपरि झुम्मिन्छन्?”
15 And Moses sayd vnto his father in law, Because the people come vnto me to seeke God.
मोशाले आफ्ना ससुरालाई भने, “परमेश्वरको निर्देशन खोज्न मानिसहरू मकहाँ आउँछन् ।
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.
तिनीहरूका बिचमा विवाद हुँदा तिनीहरू मकहाँ आउँछन् । म एक-अर्काको बिचमा न्याय गरिदिन्छु अनि तिनीहरूलाई परमेश्वरका नियम र विधिहरू सिकाइदिन्छु ।”
17 But Moses father in law said vnto him, The thing which thou doest, is not well.
मोशाका ससुराले तिनलाई भने, “तिमीले गरिरहेको काम त्यति राम्रो होइन ।
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.
निश्चय नै तिमी र तिमीसित भएका तिम्रा मानिसहरू थाक्नेछन् । यो तिमीले बोक्नै नसक्ने बोझ हो । तिमी आफैले मात्र यो गर्न सक्दैनौ ।
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,
मेरो कुरा सुन । म तिमीलाई सल्लाह दिनेछु, र परमेश्वर तिमीसित हुनुभएको होस् किनकि तिमी परमेश्वरको निम्ति मानिसहरूका प्रतिनिधि हौ र तिमीले नै तिनीहरूका झगडाहरूलाई उहाँकहाँ लैजान्छौ ।
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.
तिमीले तिनीहरूलाई उहाँका विधि-विधानहरू सिकाउनू । कसरी हिँड्ने र के गर्ने भनी तिमीले तिनीहरूलाई देखाउनू ।
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.
त्यस बाहेक, मानिसहरूका बिचबाट तिमीले योग्य मानिसहरूलाई छान जो परमेश्वरलाई आदर गर्ने, अन्यायलाई घृणा गर्ने सत्य मानिसहरू होऊन् । तिमीले तिनीहरूलाई हजार, सय, पचास र दसको समूहको रेखदेख गर्ने मानिसहरूको रूपमा जिम्मा दिनू ।
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.
तिनीहरूले हर समय मानिसहरूका मुद्दाहरूका न्याय गर्नेछन्, तर कठिन मुद्दाहरूचाहिँ तिनीहरूले तिमीकहाँ ल्याउनेछन् । स-साना मुद्दाहरू तिनीहरू आफैले न्याय गर्न सक्छन् । यसरी तिमीलाई सजिलो हुनेछ र तिनीहरूले तिम्रो बोझ बोक्नेछन् ।
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.
तिमीले यसो गर्यौ र परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई यसै गर्न आज्ञा दिनुभयो भने तिमीले सहन सक्नेछौ र पुरै समुदाय सन्तुष्ट भएर आ-आफ्ना घर जान सक्नेछन् ।”
24 So Moses obeyed the voyce of his father in law, and did all that he had sayd:
त्यसैले मोशाले आफ्ना ससुराका कुरा माने र तिनले भनेअनुसार गरे ।
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.
मोशाले सबै इस्राएलबाट योग्य मानिसहरू छाने र तिनीहरूलाई हजार, सय, पचास र दसको समूहमा नाइकेहरू बनाए ।
26 And they iudged the people at all seasons, but they brought the hard causes vnto Moses: for they iudged all small matters themselues.
सामान्य परिस्थितिहरूलाई तिनीहरूले न्याय गर्थे । कठिन मुद्दाहरूचाहिँ तिनीहरूले मोशाकहाँ ल्याउँथे, तर स-साना मुद्दाहरूलाई भने तिनीहरू आफैले न्याय गर्थे ।
27 Afterward Moses let his father in law depart, and he went into his countrey.
तब मोशाले आफ्ना ससुरालाई बिदाइ गरे र यित्रो आफ्नै देशमा फर्के ।
