Exodus 18
1 When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that Yhwh had brought 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 Then Jethro, Moses’ father in law, took Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her 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 which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:
iyadii iyo labadeedii wiilba, oo midkood magiciisu wuxuu ahaa Gershoom, waayo, wuxuu yidhi, Qariib baan ku ahaa dal qalaad,
4 And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:
midka kalena magiciisuna wuxuu ahaa Eliiceser; waayo, wuxuu yidhi, Ilaahii aabbahay baa i caawiyey, oo wuxuu iga samatabbixiyey seeftii Fircoon.
5 And Jethro, Moses’ father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount 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 said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her 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 Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came 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 And Moses told his father in law all that Yhwh had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how Yhwh 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 goodness which Yhwh had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand 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 Jethro said, Blessed be Yhwh, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
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 Yhwh is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above 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 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 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 it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.
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 Moses’ father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?
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 said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:
Markaasaa Muuse soddoggiis ku yidhi, Maxaa yeelay, dadku waxay iigu yimaadaan inay Ilaah wax iga weyddiiyaan.
16 When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes 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 And Moses’ father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.
Markaasaa Muuse soddoggiis wuxuu isaga ku yidhi, War waxaad samaysaa ma wanaagsana.
18 Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.
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 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:
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 thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
Oo waa inaad iyaga bartaa amarrada iyo qaynuunnada, oo waa inaad iyaga tustaa jidkii ay mari lahaayeen, iyo shuqulkii ay qaban lahaayeen.
21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers 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 And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.
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 shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in 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 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said.
Sidaas daraaddeed Muuse wuu dhegaystay hadalkii soddoggiis, wuuna wada sameeyey wixii uu ku yidhi oo dhan.
25 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of 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 seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
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 Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land.
Markaasaa Muuse u oggolaaday soddoggiis inuu tago, isna dalkiisii ayuu tegey.
