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.
Yetroo lubichi Midiyaaniitii fi abbaan niitii Musee sun waan Waaqni Musee fi saba isaa Israaʼeliif godhe hunda, akkasumas akka Waaqayyo itti Israaʼelin Gibxii baase dhagaʼe.
2 And he had taken Jethro [the] father-in-law of Moses Zipporah [the] wife of Moses after dismissal her.
Erga Museen niitii isaa Ziphooraa ergee booddee Yetroo abbaan niitii Musee, ishee fi
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.
ilmaan ishee lamaan simate. Maqaan ilma isaa tokkoo Geershoom jedhame; Museen, “Ani biyya ormaa keessatti alagaa taʼeera” jedheeraatii.
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.
Kaan immoo, “Waaqni abbaa kootii gargaaraa kooti; inni goraadee Faraʼoon jalaa na baaseera” jechuudhaan Eliiʼezer jedhee moggaase.
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.
Yetroon abbaan niitii Musees niitii Museetii fi ilmaan Musee wajjin gammoojjii keessatti gara tulluu Waaqaa iddoo Museen qubatee jirutti isa bira dhufe.
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.
Yetroonis, “Ani abbaan niitii keetii Yootoor niitii keetii fi ilmaan ishee lamaan wajjin gara kee dhufaa jira” jedhee dhaamsa itti ergee ture.
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.
Museenis abbaa niitii isaa simachuuf gad baʼe; gad jedhees harka fuudhee isa dhungate. Isaanis nagaa wal gaafatanii dunkaana seenan.
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.
Museen waan Waaqayyo sababii saba Israaʼeliif jedhee Faraʼoonii fi warra Gibxi irratti hojjete, rakkina karaa irratti isaan mudate hundaa fi akka itti Waaqayyo isaan oolche abbaa niitii isaatti hime.
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.
Yetroonis waan gaarii Waaqayyo harka warra Gibxi keessaa isaan baasuudhaan saba Israaʼeliif godhe hundaaf ni gammade.
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.
Innis akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo harka warra Gibxii fi harka Faraʼoon keessaa isin baasee fi inni saba sana harka warra Gibxiitii baase sun haa eebbifamu.
11 Now I know that [is] great Yahweh more than all the gods for in the matter which they have acted presumptuously on them.
Ani amma akka Waaqayyo waaqota kaan hunda caalaa guddaa taʼe nan beeka; inni warra of tuulummaadhaan Israaʼelin rakkisan irratti waan kana raawwateeraatii.”
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.
Yommus Yetroon abbaan niitii Musee sun aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaa biraa Waaqaaf fide; Aroonis fuula Waaqaa duratti Musee fi abbaa niitii Musee wajjin buddeena nyaachuuf maanguddoota Israaʼel hunda wajjin dhufe.
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.
Guyyaa itti aanutti Museen sabaaf murtii kennuuf taaʼe; sabni sunis ganamaa hamma galgalaatti naannoo isaa dhaabate.
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.
Abbaan niitii isaas yommuu waan Museen sabaaf hojjetu hunda argetti, “Wanni ati sabaaf hojjettu kun maali? Ati maaliif kophaa kee teessee sabni kun immoo ganamaa hamma galgalaatti naannoo kee dhadhaabata?” jedhe.
15 And he said Moses to father-in-law his thatr it comes to me the people to consult God.
Museen immoo akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Sabni kun fedhii Waaqaa barbaacha gara koo dhufaatii.
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.
Isaan yommuu falmii qabaatanitti dhimma isaanii natti dhiʼeeffatu; anis abbootii dhimmaa gidduutti murtii nan kenna; sirnaa fi seera Waaqaas isaanitti nan hima.”
17 And he said [the] father-in-law of Moses to him not [is] good the thing which you [are] doing.
Abbaan niitii Musee akkana jedhee deebise; “Wanni ati gootu kun gaarii miti.
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.
Atii fi sabni si bira dhufu kun akkasumaan of dadhabsiiftu. Hojiin kunis akka malee sitti ulfaata; ati kophaa kee hojjechuu hin dandeessu.
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.
Ani gorsa siif kennaatii amma na dhagaʼi; Waaqni si wajjin haa taʼu. Ati fuula Waaqaa duratti iddoo buʼaa sabaa taatee dhimma isaanii Waaqatti fiduu qabda.
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!
Sirnaa fi seera isaan barsiisi; akka isaan itti jiraachuu qabanii fi waan isaan hojjechuu qaban isaanitti argisiisi.
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.
Kana malees ati saba hunda keessaa namoota dandeetii qaban jechuunis, namoota Waaqa sodaatan, namoota amanamoo kanneen mattaʼaa jibban filadhuutii ajajjuuwwan kumaa, ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa, ajajjuuwwan shantamaatii fi ajajjuuwwan kudhanii godhii muudadhu.
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.
Isaan yeroo hunda sabaaf murtii haa kennan; dubbii cimaa hunda garuu sitti haa fidan; dubbii laayyoo immoo ofumaan haa murteessan. Kun baʼaa kee siif salphisa; isaan si wajjin baʼaa ni baatuutii.
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.
Yoo ati waan kana goote, yoo Waaqnis waanuma kana si ajaje ati jabaattee dhaabachuu dandeessa; sabni kun hundis nagaadhaan mana ofii isaatti gala.”
24 And he listened Moses to [the] voice father-in-law his and he did all that he had said.
Museenis abbaa niitii isaa dhagaʼee waan inni jedhe hunda godhe.
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.
Innis Israaʼel hunda keessaa namoota dandeettii qaban filatee hooggantoota sabaa, ajajjuuwwan kumaa, ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa, ajajjuuwwan shantamaatii fi ajajjuuwwan kudhanii isaan godhate.
26 And they judged the people at every time the matter difficult they brought! to Moses and every matter small they judged they.
Isaanis abbootii murtii taʼanii yeroo hunda saba sana tajaajilan; dubbii jabaa Museetti fidan; dubbii laayyoo taʼe hunda immoo ofumaan murteessan.
27 And he sent off Moses father-in-law his and he went himself to land his.
Ergasiis Museen abbaa niitii isaa geggeesse; Yootooris deebiʼee biyya isaatti gale.
