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 Jotor sveštenik Madijamski, tast Mojsijev, èu sve što uèini Gospod Mojsiju i Izrailju narodu svojemu, kako izvede Gospod Izrailja iz Misira;

2 And he had taken Jethro [the] father-in-law of Moses Zipporah [the] wife of Moses after dismissal her.

I uze Jotor tast Mojsijev Seforu ženu Mojsijevu, koju bješe poslao natrag,

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.

I dva sina njezina, od kojih jednom bješe ime Girsam, jer reèe: tuðin sam u zemlji tuðoj,

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.

A drugom bješe ime Eliezer, jer, reèe, Bog oca mojega bi mi u pomoæi i ote me od maèa Faraonova.

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.

I poðe Jotor tast Mojsijev sa sinovima njegovijem i sa ženom njegovom k Mojsiju u pustinju, gdje bješe u okolu pod gorom Božijom.

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.

I poruèi Mojsiju: ja tast tvoj Jotor idem k tebi i žena tvoja i oba sina njezina s njom.

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.

I Mojsije izide na susret tastu svojemu i pokloni mu se i cjeliva ga; i upitaše se za zdravlje, pa uðoše pod šator njegov.

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.

I pripovjedi Mojsije tastu svojemu sve što uèini Gospod Faraonu i Misircima radi Izrailja, i sve nevolje, koje ih nalaziše putem, i kako ih izbavi Gospod.

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.

I radovaše se Jotor svemu dobru što uèini Gospod Izrailju izbavivši ga iz ruke Misirske;

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.

I reèe Jotor: blagosloven da je Gospod, koji vas izbavi iz ruke Misirske i iz ruke Faraonove, koji izbavi narod iz ropstva Misirskoga.

11 Now I know that [is] great Yahweh more than all the gods for in the matter which they have acted presumptuously on them.

Sad vidim da je Gospod veæi od svijeh bogova, jer èim se ponošahu onijem ih samijem nadvisi.

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.

I uze Jotor tast Mojsijev i prinese Bogu žrtvu paljenicu i prinos; i doðe Aron i sve starješine Izrailjske, i jedoše s tastom Mojsijevijem pred Bogom.

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 sjutradan sjede Mojsije da sudi narodu; i stajaše narod pred Mojsijem od jutra do veèera.

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 tast Mojsijev gledajuæi sve šta radi s narodom, reèe: šta to radiš s narodom? zašto sjediš sam, a vas narod stoji pred tobom od jutra do veèera?

15 And he said Moses to father-in-law his thatr it comes to me the people to consult God.

A Mojsije reèe tastu svojemu: jer dolazi narod k meni da pita Boga.

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.

Kad imaju što meðu sobom, dolaze k meni, te im sudim i kazujem naredbe Božje i zakone njegove.

17 And he said [the] father-in-law of Moses to him not [is] good the thing which you [are] doing.

A tast Mojsijev reèe mu: nije dobro što radiš.

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.

Umoriæeš se i ti i narod koji je s tobom; jer je to teško za tebe, neæeš moæi sam vršiti.

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.

Nego poslušaj mene; ja æu te svjetovati, i Bog æe biti s tobom; ti budi pred Bogom za narod, i stvari njihove javljaj Bogu;

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!

I uèi ih naredbama i zakonima njegovijem, i pokazuj im put kojim æe iæi i šta æe raditi.

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.

A iz svega naroda izberi ljude poštene, koji se boje Boga, ljude pravedne, koji mrze na mito, pa ih postavi nad njima za poglavare, tisuænike, stotinike, pedesetnike i desetnike;

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.

Oni neka sude narodu u svako doba; pa svaku stvar veliku neka javljaju tebi, a svaku stvar malu neka raspravljaju sami; tako æe ti biti lakše, kad i oni stanu nositi teret s tobom.

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.

Ako to uèiniš, i Bog ti zapovjedi, možeš se održati, i sav æe narod doæi mirno na svoje mjesto.

24 And he listened Moses to [the] voice father-in-law his and he did all that he had said.

I Mojsije posluša tasta svojega, i uèini sve što reèe.

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.

I izabra Mojsije iz svega Izrailja ljude poštene, i postavi ih za poglavare nad narodom, tisuænike, stotinike, pedesetnike i desetnike,

26 And they judged the people at every time the matter difficult they brought! to Moses and every matter small they judged they.

Koji suðahu narodu u svako doba, a stvari teške javljahu Mojsiju, a male stvari raspravljahu sami.

27 And he sent off Moses father-in-law his and he went himself to land his.

Poslije otpusti Mojsije tasta svojega, koji se vrati u svoju zemlju.
