Exodus 18
1 Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, how that YHWH had brought Israel out of Egypt.
Mousese esoa: Yedelou (Midia: ne gobele salasu dunu) da Gode da Mousese amola Isala: ili fi dunu Idibidi sogega gadili oule misini, noga: le fidisu, amo huluane nabi.
2 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, received Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her away,
- Amaiba: le, e da Mousesema sofe misi. E da Mousese idua Siboula (Mousese da musa: e Midia: ne sogega fisi) amola ea mano aduna amo Gesiome amola Elia: isa oule misi. (Mousese da musa: sia: i dagoi, “Na da Midia: ne soge ganodini ga fi esala.” Amaiba: le, e da egefema Gesiome (ga fi dunu) dio asuli. E da eno sia: i, “Na ada ea Gode da fidibiba: le, na da Idibidi hina bagade amoga hame fanelegei ba: i. Amaiba: le, egefe eno amoma e da Elia: isa [Gode da na fidilala] amo dio asuli.)
3 and her two sons. The name of one son was Gershom, for Moses said, "I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land".
4 The name of the other was Eliezer, for he said, "My father's God was my help and delivered me from Pharaoh's sword."
5 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses into the wilderness where he was camped, at the Mountain of God.
Mousese da wadela: i hafoga: i soge hadigi goumi gadenene amogai esalu. Amoga, Yedelou da Mousese idua amola egefela oule misi.
6 And he said to Moses, "I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her."
E da mae doaga: le, Mousesema sia: adole iasi.
7 Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed and kissed him. They asked each other of their welfare, and they came into the tent.
Amaiba: le, Mousese da ema yosia: musa: asili, ema beguduli amola nonogoi. Ela, “Di da hahawane esalala: ?,” sia: nanu, ela da Mousese ea Abula Diasu ganodini golili sa: i.
8 Moses told his father-in-law all that YHWH had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, all the hardships that had come on them on the way, and how YHWH delivered them.
Mousese da Yedelouma Hina Gode Ea hou hamobe Felouma amola Idibidi dunuma amola Isala: ili dunu gaga: ma: ne amo huluane olelei dagoi. E da Isala: ili dunu logoga ahoanebe se nabasu amola Hina Gode Ea fidisu huluane olelei.
9 Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which YHWH had done to Israel, in that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.
Yedelou da amo sia: huluane hahawane nabi.
10 Jethro said, "Blessed be YHWH, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh; who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
E amane sia: i. “Hina Godema nodoma! E da di amola Ea fi huluane noga: le fidi. E da ili Felou amola Idibidi dunu ilima gaga: ne, ilia se iasu diasu logo doasi dagoi. Godema nodoma!
11 Now I know that YHWH is greater than all gods because of the thing in which they dealt arrogantly against them."
Idibidi dunu da Isala: ili dunuma higale hamobeba: le, Hina Gode da amo hou hamoi dagoi. Amaiba: le, Hina Gode Ea hou da eno ‘gode’ liligi ilia hou bagade baligisa, amo na da wali dawa:”
12 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God. Aaron came with all of the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God.
Amalalu, Yedelou da gobele salasu ohe amo mae fifili gogo gobemusa: , Godema imunusa: gaguli misi. Amola e da eno gobele salasu liligi gaguli misi. Elane amola Isala: ili fi ouligisu dunu huluane da Yedelou gilisili, Godema nodone sia: ne gadomusa: , sema lolo manusa: asi.
13 It happened on the next day, that Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from the morning to the evening.
Aya esoga, Mousese da Isala: ili dunu fi ilia sia: ga gegesu liligi fofada: nanu. E da hahabe fofada: nanu, mae yolesili gasimu galu.
14 When Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he said, "What is this thing that you do for the people? Why do you sit alone, and all the people stand around you from morning to evening?"
Yedelou da Mousese ea hawa: hamosu bagade ba: beba: le, amane adole ba: i, “Di abuliba: le disu amo dia fi dunu agoane fidisala. Disu da hamonana amola dunu huluane eso huluane hahabe asili gasi, dima fofada: musa: lela.”
15 Moses said to his father-in-law, "Because the people come to me to inquire of God.
Mousese da amane sia: i, “Na da agoane hamomu da defea. Dunu ilia da Gode Ea hanai amo dawa: musa: gini nama maha.
16 When they have a matter, they come to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor, and I make them know the statutes of God, and his laws."
Dunu aduna da sia: ga gegesu galea, ela da nama maha. Amasea, na da elama afae da moloi amola eno da giadofai amo elama olelesa. Amola na da Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i elama olelesa.”
17 Moses' father-in-law said to him, "The thing that you do is not good.
Amalalu, Yedelou da amane sia: i, “Di da giadofale hamosa.
18 You will surely wear away, both you, and this people that is with you; for the thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to perform it yourself alone.
Di da dia da: i hodo amola eno dunu ilia da: i hodo wadela: mu. Disu hamomu da hamedei.
19 Listen now to my voice. I will give you counsel, and God be with you. You represent the people before God, and bring the causes to God.
Na da dima fada: i sia: noga: i imunu. Amasea, Gode da di fidimu. Di da dunu ilia sia: ga gegesu nabimu amola Gode amola ili dogoa agoane alofesu dunu esalumu da defea.
20 You shall teach them the statutes and the laws, and shall show them the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must do.
Di da Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i ilima olelemu amola ilia habodane esalumu amola hawa: hamosu ilima olelemu amo huluane da defea.
21 Moreover you shall provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God: men of truth, hating unjust gain; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
Be amo baligili, di da dunu noga: i bagade dawa: su dunu ilegele, ilia da dunu huluane ilima ouligisu hina dunu ilegemu da defea. Ilia dunu fi idi 1000 amola dunu fi idi 100 amola idi 50 amola idi 10 amola ilima ouligisu hina ilegema: mu. Godema beda: i dunu fawane lama amola dunu da hano suligisu hou hame dawa: dunu, amo fawane ilegema.
22 Let them judge the people at all times. It shall be that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they shall judge themselves. So shall it be easier for you, and they shall share the load with you.
Ilia mae yolesili fofada: su ouligisu dunu agoane hawa: hamoma: mu. Hou da gasa bagade ba: sea, ilia da di hahamoma: ne, dima adola misunu da defea. Be liligi fonobahadi ilisu da fofada: mu da defea. Ilia da dia dioi bagade liligi gilisili gaguli ahoasea, dia dioi liligi da bu fofoi ba: mu.
23 If you will do this thing, and God commands you so, then you will be able to endure, and all of these people also will go to their place in peace."
Di da Gode Ea sia: defele agoane hamosea, di da bogomuwane hele hame nabimu amola dunu huluane da ilia sia: ga gegei huluane hahamoi dagoi ba: sea, ilia diasuga hahawane masunu.”
24 So Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said.
Mousese da Yedelou ea olelesu nabi dagoi.
25 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.
E da Isala: ili fi amoga noga: i dawa: su dunu ilegei. E da dunu idi 1000 amola idi 100 amola idi 50 amola idi 10 ilima ouligisu hina dunu ilegei.
26 They judged the people at all times. They brought the hard causes to Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
Ilia da mae yolesili fofada: su ouligisu hawa: hamosu. Gasa bagade fofada: su, ilia da Mousesema ia misi. Be ilisu da fonobahadi liligi hahamoi.
27 Moses let his father-in-law depart, and he went his way into his own land.
Amalalu, Mousese da Yedelouma “asigibio” sia: nanu, Yedelou da hi diasuga buhagi.
