< Exodus 18 >

1 Jethro, who was the priest for the Midian people-group, and who was also Moses’/my father-in-law, heard about all that God had done for the Israeli people. He heard about how Yahweh had brought them out of Egypt.
Musaning ⱪeynatisi, yǝni Midiyanning kaⱨini Yǝtro Hudaning Musa üqün ⱨǝmdǝ Ɵz hǝlⱪi Israil üqün barliⱪ ⱪilƣanliri toƣruluⱪ anglidi, yǝni Pǝrwǝrdigarning Israilni Misirdin qiⱪarƣanliⱪidin hǝwǝr tapti.
2 Moses/I had [previously] sent his/my wife Zipporah [back home when he/I was returning to Egypt]. But now Jethro came to him/me,
Xuning bilǝn Musaning ⱪeynatisi Yǝtro Musaning ǝslidǝ ɵz yeniƣa ǝwǝtiwǝtkǝn ayali Zipporaⱨ wǝ uning ikki oƣlini elip yolƣa qiⱪti (birinqi oƣlining ismi Gǝrxom dǝp ⱪoyulƣanidi; qünki Musa: «mǝn yaⱪa yurtta musapir bolup turuwatimǝn» degǝnidi.
3 bringing Zipporah and their/our two sons. One son was named Gershom, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘foreigner’], because he/I had said, “I have been a foreigner living in another land.”
4 Her other son was named Eliezer, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘God helps me’], because [he/I] had said “God, whom my father [worshiped], has helped me and saved [me] from being killed [MTY] by the king [of Egypt].”
Yǝnǝ birining ismi Əliezǝr dǝp ⱪoyulƣanidi; qünki Musa: «Atamning Hudasi manga yardǝmdǝ bolup, meni Pirǝwnning ⱪiliqidin ⱪutⱪuzdi», degǝnidi).
5 While Moses/I was camped [with the Israeli people] in the desert [near Sinai], God’s sacred/holy mountain, Jethro came to him/me, bringing along Moses’/my wife and our [two] sons.
Xundaⱪ ⱪilip Musaning ⱪeynatisi Yǝtro Musaning oƣulliri bilǝn ayalini elip, Musaning qɵldǝ, Hudaning teƣining yenida qedir tikgǝn yerigǝ yetip kǝldi.
6 Jethro had sent a message to Moses/me, “I, your father-in-law, Jethro, am coming to see you, bringing along your wife and your two sons!”
U ǝslidǝ Musaƣa: — «Mana, mǝnki ⱪeynatang Yǝtro sening ayalingni wǝ uning ikki oƣlini elip yeningƣa ketiwatimǝn» dǝp hǝwǝr ǝwǝtkǝnidi.
7 So Moses/I went out of the campsite to meet his/my father-in-law. He/I bowed before him, and kissed him [on the cheek]. (They both/We) asked each other, “Have you been healthy?” Then they/we went into [Moses’/my] tent.
Xuning bilǝn Musa ɵz ⱪeynatisining aldiƣa qiⱪip, tǝzim ⱪilip, uni sɵydi. Ular bir-biridin ⱨal-ǝⱨwal sorixip qedirƣa kirdi;
8 Moses/I told Jethro everything that Yahweh had done to the king and all the [other] people in Egypt for the sake of the Israeli people. He/I also told him about the troubles/problems they/we had experienced on the way, and how Yahweh had helped them/us.
Andin Musa ⱪiynatisiƣa Israilning wǝjidin Pǝrwǝrdigarning Pirǝwn wǝ misirliⱪlarƣa ⱪilƣan ⱨǝmmǝ ǝmǝllirini sɵzlǝp, ularning yol boyi bexiƣa qüxkǝn jǝbir-japalarni bayan ⱪilip, Pǝrwǝrdigarning ⱪandaⱪ ⱪilip ularni ⱪutⱪuzƣinini eytip bǝrdi.
9 Jethro rejoiced when he heard all that Yahweh had done for the Israeli people.
Buni anglap Yǝtro Pǝrwǝrdigarning Israilƣa kɵrsǝtkǝn barliⱪ yahxiliⱪidin, ularni misirliⱪlarning ⱪolidin ⱪutⱪuzƣanliⱪidin xadlandi.
10 He said, “Praise Yahweh, who has rescued you from the powerful [MTY] Egyptian king and his army!
Yǝtro [xadlinip]: — Silǝrni misirliⱪlarning wǝ Pirǝwnning ⱪolidin ⱪutⱪuzƣan Pǝrwǝrdigarƣa tǝxǝkkurlǝr bolƣay! U bu ⱪowmni misirliⱪlarning ⱪolidin ⱪutⱪuzdi!
11 Now I realize that Yahweh is greater than all other gods, because he rescued you all from the power [MTY] of the proud Egyptians when [they] were causing you [to suffer].”
Mǝn Pǝrwǝrdigarning barliⱪ ilaⱨlardin üstün turidiƣanliⱪini ǝmdi bildim; qünki U dǝl ular yoƣanqiliⱪ ⱪilƣan ixta Ɵzining ulardin üstün turidiƣanliⱪini namayan ⱪildi — dedi.
12 Then Jethro sacrificed an animal by burning it completely on the altar [as an offering], and he also offered other sacrifices to God. Aaron and the Israeli elders/leaders went with them/us to eat a sacred meal with Jethro.
Andin Musaning ⱪeynatisi Yǝtro Hudaƣa atap bir kɵydürmǝ ⱪurbanliⱪ wǝ birnǝqqǝ [tǝxǝkkur] ⱪurbanliⱪlirini elip kǝldi; Ⱨarun bilǝn Israilning ⱨǝrbir aⱪsaⱪili Musaning ⱪeynatisi bilǝn billǝ Hudaning ⱨuzurida taam yeyixkǝ kǝldi.
13 The next day, Moses/I sat down at the place where he/I settled disputes among the people. The people were continually bringing their disputes to Moses/me, from morning until evening.
Ətisi Musa hǝlⱪning ix-dǝwaliri üstidin ⱨɵküm qiⱪirixⱪa olturdi; hǝlⱪ ǝtigǝndin tartip kǝqkiqǝ Musaning qɵrisidǝ turuxti.
14 When Jethro saw everything that Moses/I was doing for the people, he said, “(Why are you doing all this for the people?/You should not be doing all this for the people!) [RHQ] Why are you doing this by yourself, and all the people are crowding around you, from morning until evening, [asking you to make decisions for them] [RHQ]?”
Musaning ⱪeynatisi uning hǝlⱪi üqün ⱪilƣan ixlirini kɵrgǝndǝ uningdin: — Sening hǝlⱪⱪǝ ⱪiliwatⱪan bu ixing zadi nemǝ ix? Nemixⱪa sǝn [bu ixta] yalƣuz olturisǝn, barliⱪ hǝlⱪ nemǝ üqün ǝtigǝndin kǝqkiqǝ sening qɵrǝngdǝ turidu? — dedi.
15 Moses/I replied, “[I am doing this] because the people keep coming to me to find out what God desires.
Musa ⱪeynatisiƣa jawab berip: — Hǝlⱪ Hudadin yol izdǝxkǝ mening ⱪeximƣa kelidu.
16 When they have a dispute about something, they come to me, and they ask me to decide which of them is right. I also tell them all of God’s laws and instructions.”
Ⱪaqanki ularning bir ix-dǝwasi qiⱪsa ular yenimƣa kelidu; xuning bilǝn mǝn ularning otturisida ⱨɵküm qiⱪirimǝn wǝ xundaⱪla Hudaning ⱪanun-bǝlgilimilirini ularƣa bildürimǝn, — dedi.
17 Jethro said to him/me, “What you are doing is not good [for you or for the people].
Musaning ⱪeynatisi uningƣa: — Bu ⱪilƣining yahxi bolmaptu.
18 You and these people will (wear yourselves out/become exhausted)! This work is too much for one person. You are not able to do it by yourself.
Sǝn jǝzmǝn ɵzüngni ⱨǝmdǝ qɵrǝngdǝ turƣan hǝlⱪnimu qarqitip ⱪoyisǝn; qünki bu ix sanga bǝk eƣir kelidu. Sǝn uni yalƣuz ⱪilip yetixǝlmǝysǝn.
19 Now listen to some good advice [MTY] I will give to you. [If you do what I suggest], God will help you. You should continue to speak to God and tell him about the people’s disputes.
Əmdi mening sɵzümgǝ ⱪulaⱪ salƣin, mǝn sanga bir mǝsliⱨǝt berǝy wǝ [xundaⱪ ⱪilsang, ] Huda sening bilǝn billǝ bolidu: — Sǝn ɵzüng Hudaning aldida hǝlⱪning wǝkili bolup, ularning ixlirini Hudaƣa mǝlum ⱪilƣin;
20 You should [also] teach the people what God has commanded and instructed you. You should also explain to them how they should conduct their lives, and the things that they should do.
sǝn hǝlⱪⱪǝ ⱪanun-bǝlgilimilǝrni ɵgitip, mangidiƣan yolni kɵrsitip, ularning ⱪandaⱪ burqi barliⱪini uⱪturƣin.
21 But in addition, you should choose some [other men to help you]. Choose men who have reverence for God and who will not accept bribes. Appoint some of them to make decisions [for groups of] ten people, [some for groups of] 50 [people], [some for groups of] 100 [people], [and some for groups of] 1,000 [people].
Xuning bilǝn bir waⱪitta sǝn pütkül hǝlⱪning arisidin Hudadin ⱪorⱪidiƣan, nǝpsaniyǝtqilikni yaman kɵridiƣan ⱨǝm ⱪabiliyǝtlik ⱨǝm diyanǝtlik adǝmlǝrni tepip, ularni hǝlⱪning üstigǝ bax ⱪilip, bǝzisini mingbexi, bǝzisini yüzbexi, bǝzisini ǝllikbexi, bǝzisini onbexi ⱪilip tǝyinligin.
22 Allow them to serve permanently to settle disputes for the people. The difficult matters the people can bring to you; but the matters that are not difficult, they can decide themselves. That will make the work easier for you, as they help you do that work.
Xuning bilǝn bular ⱨǝrⱪandaⱪ waⱪitta hǝlⱪning ix-dǝwalirini soraydu. Əgǝr qong bir ix-dǝwa qiⱪip ⱪalsa, buni sanga tapxursun; lekin ⱨǝmmǝ kiqik ix-dǝwalarni ular ɵzliri bejirisun. Xundaⱪ ⱪilip, ular sening wǝzipǝngni yeniklitip, yüküngni kɵtürüxüp beridu.
23 If you do that, and [I think that] God is telling you to do it (OR, if God tells you to do it), you will not become exhausted, and all the people will be able to go home feeling satisfied about the decisions, [with their disputes settled quickly”].
Əgǝr xundaⱪ ⱪilsang wǝ Huda sanga xundaⱪ buyrusa, ɵzüng [wǝzipǝngdǝ] put tirǝp turalaysǝn wǝ hǝlⱪingmu hatirjǝmlik bilǝn ɵz jayiƣa ⱪaytip ketidu, dedi.
24 Moses/I accepted what his/my father-in-law [Jethro] suggested.
Musa ⱪeynatisining sɵzigǝ ⱪulaⱪ selip deginining ⱨǝmmisini ⱪildi.
25 Moses/I chose capable men from among the Israeli people.
Musa pütkül Israil arisidin ⱪabiliyǝtlik adǝmlǝrni tallap, ularni hǝlⱪning üstigǝ bax ⱪilip, bǝzisini mingbexi, bǝzisini yüzbexi, bǝzisini ǝllikbexi, bǝzisini onbexi ⱪilip ⱪoydi.
26 They were appointed permanently to make decisions about the people’s disputes. They brought the difficult cases to Moses/me, but they decided the matters that were not difficult by themselves.
Bular ⱨǝrⱪandaⱪ waⱪitta hǝlⱪning ix-dǝwalirini sorap turdi; tǝsrǝk ix-dǝwalarni bolsa, Musaƣa yollaytti, kiqik ix-dǝwalarni bolsa ɵzliri soraytti.
27 Then Moses/I said goodbye to his/my father-in-law, and Jethro returned home.
Andin Musa ⱪeynatisini yolƣa selip ⱪoydi, u ɵz yurtiƣa ⱪaytip kǝtti.
