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.
A ka rongo a Ietoro, te tohunga o Miriana, te hungawai o Mohi, ki nga mea katoa i meatia e te Atua ki a Mohi, ki a Iharaira hoki, ki tana iwi; ki a Ihowa ano hoki kua whakaputa mai i a Iharaira i Ihipa;
2 And he had taken Jethro [the] father-in-law of Moses Zipporah [the] wife of Moses after dismissal her.
Katahi a Ietoro, hungawai o Mohi, ka tango i a Hipora, wahine a Mohi, i muri nei i tana tononga i a ia kia hoki,
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.
Me ana tamariki tokorua, ko te ingoa o tetahi ko Kerehoma, i mea hoki ia, He manene ahau i te whenua ke:
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.
Ko te ingoa hoki o tetahi ko Erietera; moku hoki a wahinetia mai e te Atua o toku papa, nana hoki ahau i whakaora i te hoari a Parao;
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.
Na ka haere mai a Ietoro, te hungawai o Mohi, ratou ko ana tamariki, ko tana wahine, ki a Mohi, ki te koraha i noho ai ia, ki te maunga o te Atua:
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.
A ka mea ki a Mohi, Ko ahau, ko Ietoro, ko tou hungawai, kua tae mai ki a koe, me tau wahine, ratou ko ana tama tokorua.
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.
Na ka haere a Mohi ki te whakatau i tona hungawai, a ka tuohu, ka kihi hoki i a ia; a ka ui raua ki a raua ki te pai i tetahi, i tetahi; a haere ana raua ki te teneti.
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.
Na ka korerotia e Mohi ki tona hungawai nga mea katoa i meatia e Ihowa ki a Parao ratou ko nga Ihipiana, mo Iharaira, me nga mate katoa hoki i pono ki a ratou i te ara, me ratou hoki kua whakaorangia nei e Ihowa.
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.
Na ka hari a Ietoro mo nga mea pai katoa i meatia e Ihowa ki a Iharaira, mo ratou hoki i whakaorangia e ia i te ringa o nga Ihipiana.
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.
A ka mea a Ietoro, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa nana nei koutou i whakaora i te ringa o nga Ihipiana, i te ringa hoki o Parao; nana hoki te iwi nei i whakaora i raro i te ringa o nga Ihipiana.
11 Now I know that [is] great Yahweh more than all the gods for in the matter which they have acted presumptuously on them.
Katahi ahau ka mohio he nui ake a Ihowa i nga atua katoa; ae ra, i te mea hoki ka whakapehapeha ratou, hira ake ana ano ia i a ratou.
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.
Na ka tangohia e Ietoro, e te hungawai o Mohi tetahi tahunga tinana me etahi patunga tapu ma te Atua: a haere mai ana a Arona, me nga kaumatua katoa o Iharaira, ki te hungawai o Mohi, ki te kai taro ki te aroaro o te Atua.
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.
A i te aonga ake o te ra ka noho a Mohi ki te whakawa i te iwi: a ka tu te iwi i te taha o Mohi no te ata a ahiahi noa.
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.
A, no te kitenga o te hungawai o Mohi i nga mea katoa i mea ai ia ki te iwi, ka mea ia, He aha tenei mea e mea nei koe ki te iwi? he aha koe i noho ai ko koe anake, i tu ai hoki te iwi katoa i tou taha no te ata a tae noa ki te ahiahi?
15 And he said Moses to father-in-law his thatr it comes to me the people to consult God.
A ka mea a Mohi ki tona hungawai, E haere mai ana hoki te iwi ki ahau, ki te rapu tikanga i te Atua:
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 ai he mea ki a ratou, na ka haere mai ki ahau; a maku e whakarite te whakawa a tetahi ki tetahi; e whakaatu hoki nga tikanga a te Atua me ana ture.
17 And he said [the] father-in-law of Moses to him not [is] good the thing which you [are] doing.
Na ka mea te hungawai o Mohi ki a ia, Ehara tenei i te pai e mea nei koe.
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.
Ka honia noatia iho koe, koutou tahi ko tenei iwi i a koe nei; he pehi rawa hoki tenei mea i a koe: e kore e taea e koe anake.
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.
Na, whakarongo mai ki toku reo, maku koe e tohutohu: hei a koe te Atua, hei te aroaro o te Atua koe mo te iwi, a mau e kawe nga korero ki te Atua:
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!
Mau ano ratou e whakaako ki nga tikanga, ki nga ture, e whakaatu hoki ki a ratou te huarahi e haere ai ratou, me nga mahi e mahi ai ratou.
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.
Mau ano hoki e titiro i roto i te iwi katoa etahi tangata maia, e wehi ana i te Atua; hei te hunga pono, e kino ana ki te apo; ka waiho ai hei rangatira mo ratou, hei rangatira mo nga mano, hei rangatira mo nga rau, hei rangatira mo nga rima tek au, hei rangatira mo nga tekau:
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.
A ma ratou te iwi e whakawa i nga wa katoa: a ko nga mea nunui katoa, me kawe mai ki a koe; ko nga mea nohinohi katoa ia, ma ratou e whakarite: penei ka mama koe, a ma koutou tahi te pikaunga.
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.
Ki te mea koe i tenei mea, a ka ki mai te Atua ki a koe, katahi koe ka matatu ake, a ka haere marie tenei iwi katoa ki o ratou kainga.
24 And he listened Moses to [the] voice father-in-law his and he did all that he had said.
A rongo tonu a Mohi ki te kupu a tona hungawai, a meatia katoatia iho e ia nga mea i korero ai ia.
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.
A whiriwhiria ana e Mohi etahi tangata maia i roto i a Iharaira katoa, a waiho iho ratou e ia hei upoko mo te iwi, hei rangatira mo nga mano, hei rangatira mo nga rau, hei rangatira mo nga rima tekau, hei rangatira hoki mo nga tekau.
26 And they judged the people at every time the matter difficult they brought! to Moses and every matter small they judged they.
A na ratou te iwi i whakawa i nga wa katoa: ko te mea pakeke i kawea e ratou ki a Mohi; ko nga mea nohinohi katoa ia na ratou ano i whakarite.
27 And he sent off Moses father-in-law his and he went himself to land his.
Na ka tukua atu e Mohi tona hungawai; a haere ana ia ki tona whenua.
