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.
Jetro, àlùfáà Midiani, àna Mose, gbọ́ gbogbo ohun tí Ọlọ́run ti ṣe fún Mose àti fún Israẹli àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, àti bí Olúwa ti mú àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli jáde láti Ejibiti wá.
2 And he had taken Jethro [the] father-in-law of Moses Zipporah [the] wife of Moses after dismissal her.
Nígbà náà ni Jetro mu aya Mose tí í ṣe Sippora padà lọ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ (nítorí ó ti dá a padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ baba rẹ̀ tẹ́lẹ̀),
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.
Òun àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ méjèèjì. Orúkọ àkọ́bí ń jẹ́ Gerṣomu; nítorí Mose wí pé, “Èmi ń ṣe àlejò ni ilẹ̀ àjèjì.”
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.
Èkejì ń jẹ́ Elieseri; ó wí pé, “Ọlọ́run baba mi ni alátìlẹ́yìn mi, ó sì gbà mí là kúrò lọ́wọ́ idà Farao.”
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.
Jetro, àna Mose, òun àti aya àti àwọn ọmọ Mose tọ̀ ọ́ wá nínú aginjù tí ó tẹ̀dó sí, nítòsí òkè Ọlọ́run.
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.
Jetro sì ti ránṣẹ́ sí Mose pé, “Èmi Jetro, àna rẹ, ni mo ń bọ̀ wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ, èmi àti aya àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ méjèèjì.”
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.
Mose sì jáde lọ pàdé àna rẹ̀, ó tẹríba fún un, ó sì fi ẹnu kò ó ni ẹnu. Wọ́n sì béèrè àlàáfíà ara wọn, wọ́n sì wọ inú àgọ́ lọ.
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.
Mose sọ fún àna rẹ̀ nípa ohun gbogbo ti Olúwa tí ṣe sí Farao àti àwọn ará Ejibiti nítorí Israẹli. Ó sọ nípa gbogbo ìṣòro tí wọn bá pàdé ní ọ̀nà wọn àti bí Olúwa ti gbà wọ́n là.
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.
Inú Jetro dùn láti gbọ́ gbogbo ohun rere ti Olúwa ṣe fún Israẹli, ẹni tí ó mú wọ́n jáde kúrò ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
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.
Jetro sì wí pé, “Ìyìn ni fún Olúwa, ẹni tí ó gba yín là kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ará Ejibiti àti lọ́wọ́ Farao, ẹni tí ó sì gba àwọn ènìyàn là kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ará Ejibiti.
11 Now I know that [is] great Yahweh more than all the gods for in the matter which they have acted presumptuously on them.
Mo mọ nísinsin yìí pé Olúwa tóbi ju gbogbo àwọn òrìṣà lọ; nítorí ti ó gba àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́wọ́ ìgbéraga àti ìkà àwọn ará Ejibiti.”
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.
Jetro, àna Mose, mú ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ wá fún Ọlọ́run. Aaroni àti gbogbo àgbàgbà Israẹli sì wá láti bá àna Mose jẹun ní iwájú Ọlọ́run.
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.
Ní ọjọ́ kejì, Mose jókòó láti máa ṣe ìdájọ́ fún àwọn ènìyàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìṣe rẹ̀; àwọn ènìyàn sì dúró ti Mose fún ìdájọ́ wọn láti òwúrọ̀ títí di ìrọ̀lẹ́.
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.
Nígbà tí àna Mose rí bí àkókò ti èyí ń gba ti pọ̀ tó àti ti àwọn ènìyàn ti ń dúró pẹ́ tó, ó wí pé, “Kí ni èyí tí ìwọ ń ṣe sí àwọn ènìyàn? Èéṣe ti ìwọ nìkan jókòó gẹ́gẹ́ bí adájọ́, nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí dúró yí ọ ká láti òwúrọ̀ di ìrọ̀lẹ́?”
15 And he said Moses to father-in-law his thatr it comes to me the people to consult God.
Mose dá a lóhùn pé, “Nítorí àwọn ènìyàn ń tọ̀ mí wá láti mọ́ ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run.
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.
Nígbà tí wọ́n bá ní ẹjọ́, wọn a mú un tọ̀ mí wá, èmi a sì ṣe ìdájọ́ láàrín ẹnìkínní àti ẹnìkejì, èmi a sì máa mú wọn mọ òfin àti ìlànà Ọlọ́run.”
17 And he said [the] father-in-law of Moses to him not [is] good the thing which you [are] doing.
Àna Mose dá a lóhùn pé, “Ohun tí o ń ṣe yìí kò dára.
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.
Ìwọ àti àwọn ènìyàn ti ń tọ̀ ọ́ wá yìí yóò dá ara yín ní agara; iṣẹ́ yìí pọ̀jù fún ọ, ìwọ nìkan kò lè dá a ṣe.
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.
Nísinsin yìí, fetísílẹ̀ sí mi, èmi yóò sì gbà ọ́ ni ìmọ̀ràn, Ọlọ́run yóò sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ. Ìwọ gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ aṣojú àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí níwájú Ọlọ́run, ìwọ yóò sì mú èdè-àìyedè wá sí iwájú rẹ̀.
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!
Kọ́ wọn ní òfin àti ìlànà Ọlọ́run, fi ọ̀nà igbe ayé ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run hàn wọ́n àti iṣẹ́ tí wọn yóò máa ṣe.
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.
Ṣa àwọn tí ó kún ojú òsùwọ̀n nínú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn, àwọn tó bẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run, ti wọ́n jẹ́ olóòtítọ́, tí wọ́n kórìíra ìrẹ́jẹ; yàn wọ́n ṣe olórí, lórí ẹgbẹ̀rún ẹgbẹ̀rún, ọgọ́rùn-ún ọgọ́rùn-ún, àádọ́ta-dọ́ta àti mẹ́wàá mẹ́wàá.
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.

24 And he listened Moses to [the] voice father-in-law his and he did all that he had said.
Mose fetísílẹ̀ sí àna rẹ̀, ó sì ṣe ohun gbogbo tí ó wí fún un.
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.

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