Exodus 18
1 And he heard Jethro [the] priest of Midian [the] father-in-law of Moses all that he had done God for Moses and for Israel people his that he had brought out Yahweh Israel from Egypt.
Koro Jethro, jadolo mar Midian kendo jaduongʼ Musa, nowinjo gik moko duto mane Nyasaye osetimo ni Musa, kaachiel gi joge ma jo-Israel, bende kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosegolo jo-Israel kawuok e piny Misri.
2 And he had taken Jethro [the] father-in-law of Moses Zipporah [the] wife of Moses after dismissal her.
Bangʼ ka Musa ne oseriembo chiege ma Zipora, jaduongʼne Jethro norwake
3 And [the] two sons her who [the] name of the one [was] Gershom for he had said a sojourner I have become in a land foreign.
kaachiel gi yawuote ariyo. Wuowi achiel niluongo ni Gershom nimar Musa nowacho niya, “Asebedo jadak e piny ma ok marwa,”
4 And [the] name of the one [was] Eliezer for [the] God of father my [has been] help my and he has delivered me from [the] sword of Pharaoh.
to machielo nochako ni Eliezer nimar nowacho niya, “Nyasach wuonwa ema ne jakonyna, ne oresa kane Farao dwaro nega gi ligangla.”
5 And he came Jethro [the] father-in-law of Moses and sons his and wife his to Moses into the wilderness where he [was] encamped there [the] mountain of God.
Jethro, jaduongʼ Musa, kaachiel gi yawuot Musa gi chi Musa, ne jobiro ire e thim kama ne ojotie but got mar Nyasaye.
6 And he said to Moses I father-in-law your Jethro [am] coming to you and wife your and [the] two sons her with her.
Noyudo ka Jethro oseorone wach niya, “An, jaduongʼni Jethro abiro iri gi chiegi kaachiel gi nyithindi ariyo.”
7 And he went out Moses to meet father-in-law his and he bowed down and he kissed him and they asked each of neighbor his to welfare and they went the tent towards.
Kuom mano Musa nowuok mondo orom ni jaduongʼne mi nokulore piny kendo onyodhe. Ne gimosore eka bangʼe gidonjo ei hema.
8 And he recounted Moses to father-in-law his all that he had done Yahweh to Pharaoh and to Egypt on [the] causes of Israel all the hardship which it had come upon them on the journey and he had delivered them Yahweh.
Musa nonyiso jaduongʼne gik moko duto ma Jehova Nyasaye notimone Farao kaachiel gi jo-Misri, nikech jo-Israel. Bende nonyise chandruok duto mane giseyudo e yo kendo kaka Jehova Nyasaye noseresogi.
9 And he rejoiced Jethro on all the good which he had done Yahweh to Israel whom he had delivered it from [the] hand of Egypt.
Jethro ne mor mar winjo gik mabeyo duto ma Jehova Nyasaye nosetimo ne jo-Israel kuom resogi e lwet jo-Misri.
10 And he said Jethro [be] blessed Yahweh who he has delivered you from [the] hand of Egypt and from [the] hand of Pharaoh who he has delivered the people from under [the] hand of Egypt.
Nowacho niya, “Opak Jehova Nyasaye, ma noresoi e lwet jo-Misri bende e lwet Farao kendo oreso oganda e lwet jo-Misri.
11 Now I know that [is] great Yahweh more than all the gods for in the matter which they have acted presumptuously on them.
Koro angʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye duongʼ moloyo nyiseche moko duto, nimar notimo kamano ne joma nosando jo-Israel marach.”
12 And he took Jethro [the] father-in-law of Moses a burnt offering and sacrifices to God and he came Aaron and all - [the] elders of Israel to eat food with [the] father-in-law of Moses before God.
Eka Jethro, jaduongʼ Musa, nokelo misango miwangʼo pep kod misengni mamoko bende ne Nyasaye, kendo Harun nobiro kod jodongo duto mag jo-Israel mondo gichiem gi jaduongʼ Musa e nyim Nyasaye.
13 And it was from [the] next day and he sat Moses to judge the people and it stood the people at Moses from the morning until the evening.
Kinyne, Musa nobet e kome mondo obed jangʼad bura ne ogandano, kendo negichungʼ ka gilwore chakre okinyi nyaka odhiambo.
14 And he saw [the] father-in-law of Moses all that he [was] doing for the people and he said what? [is] the thing this which you [are] doing for the people why? [are] you sitting to alone you and all the people [is] standing at you from morning until evening.
Kane jaduongʼne oneno gik moko duto mane Musa timo ne oganda, nowacho ne kama, “En angʼo ma itimo ne ogandani? En angʼo momiyo in kendi ema ibedo kaka jangʼad bura, ka jogi olwori chakre okinyi nyaka odhiambo?”
15 And he said Moses to father-in-law his thatr it comes to me the people to consult God.
Musa nodwoke niya, “Nikech ji biro ira mondo omany dwach Nyasaye.”
16 For it will be[long] to them a matter [it is] coming to me and I judge between each and between neighbor his and I make known [the] statutes of God and laws his.
Ka gin gi larruok moro amora e kindgi, to ikelona kendo athego joma ochwanyorego mi anyisgi buche kod chike mag Nyasaye.
17 And he said [the] father-in-law of Moses to him not [is] good the thing which you [are] doing.
Jaduongʼ Musa nodwoko kawacho niya, “Gima itimoni ok ber.
18 Certainly you will wear yourself out both you as well as the people this which [is] with you for [is too] heavy for you the thing not you are able to do it to alone you.
In kaachiel gi joma osebiro irigi ubiro mana ool. Tijni pek mohewi; ok inyal time kendi.
19 Now listen to voice my let me advise you and may he be God with you be you for the people in front of God and you will bring you the matters to God.
Chik iti mondo angʼadni rieko kendo Nyasaye obed kodi. Onego ibed jachungʼ jogi e nyim Nyasaye kendo iter larruokgi e nyime.
20 And you will warn them the statutes and the laws and you will make known to them the way [which] they will walk in it and the work which they will do!
Puonjgi buche kod chike duto kendo nyisgi kaka onego gidagi kod tije monego gitim.
21 And you you will provide from all the people men of ability [those] fearing God men of faithfulness [who] hate unjust gain and you will appoint over them officials of thousands officials of hundreds officials of fifties and officials of tens.
To nyaka iyier joma niginyalo ma gin ji moluoro Nyasaye, joma ogen ma ok kaw asoya, kendo iketgi gibed jotend ji maromo alufu alufu, mia mia, piero abich abich, kod apar apar.
22 And they will judge the people at every time and it will be every matter great they will bring to you and every matter small they will judge they and lighten from on yourself and they will bear with you.
Ketgi mondo gibedi jongʼad bura ni oganda kinde duto, to buche matek kende ema ginyalo keloni. Buche mayot ginyalo ngʼado giwegi, nimar mano biro miyo tingʼ ma in-go bedo mayot, nimar gibiro lawe kodi.
23 If the thing this you will do and he will command you God and you will be able to endure and also all the people this to place its it will go in peace.
Ka itimo kama kaka Nyasaye dwaro, to ok ibi ol kendo jogi biro dok e miechgi kamor.”
24 And he listened Moses to [the] voice father-in-law his and he did all that he had said.
Musa nowinjo jaduongʼne mi notimo gik moko duto mane owacho.
25 And he chose Moses men of ability from all Israel and he appointed them chiefs over the people of icials of thousands officials of hundreds officials of fifties and officials of tens.
Noyiero joma riek kuom jo-Israel duto mi noketogi jotelo mag ji alufu alufu, mia mia, piero abich abich, kod apar apar.
26 And they judged the people at every time the matter difficult they brought! to Moses and every matter small they judged they.
Negitiyo kaka jongʼad bura mar oganda kinde duto. Buche matek negikelo ne Musa, to buche mayot negitieko giwegi.
27 And he sent off Moses father-in-law his and he went himself to land his.
Eka Musa nokowo jaduongʼne e yo kendo Jethro nodok e pinygi.
