Exodus 18
1 Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel his people. He heard that Yahweh had brought Israel out of Egypt.
Haddaba wadaadkii Midyaan oo Yetroo ahaa, Muusena soddog u ahaa, ayaa wuxuu maqlay kulli wixii Rabbigu u sameeyey Muuse iyo dadkiisa reer binu Israa'iil, iyo sidii Rabbigu reer binu Israa'iil uga soo bixiyey dalkii Masar.
2 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her home,
Markaasaa Yetroo oo Muuse soddog u ahaa ayaa wuxuu soo kexeeyey naagtii Muuse oo ahayd Siforaah, markuu iska diray dabadeed,
3 and her two sons; the name of the one son was Gershom, for Moses had said, “I have been a foreigner in a foreign land.”
iyadii iyo labadeedii wiilba, oo midkood magiciisu wuxuu ahaa Gershoom, waayo, wuxuu yidhi, Qariib baan ku ahaa dal qalaad,
4 The name of the other was Eliezer, for Moses had said, “My ancestor's God was my help. He rescued me from Pharaoh's sword.”
midka kalena magiciisuna wuxuu ahaa Eliiceser; waayo, wuxuu yidhi, Ilaahii aabbahay baa i caawiyey, oo wuxuu iga samatabbixiyey seeftii Fircoon.
5 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with Moses' sons and his wife to Moses in the wilderness where he was camped at the mountain of God.
Markaasaa Yetroo oo Muuse soddog u ahaa ayaa Muuse ugu yimid cidladii ay degeen oo buurtii Ilaah agteeda ahayd isagoo wada wiilashiisii iyo naagtiisii.
6 He said to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons.”
Markaasuu wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Anigoo ah Yetroo soddoggaa waan kuu imid aniga iyo naagtaada iyadoo wadata labadeedii wiilba.
7 Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, bowed down, and kissed him. They asked about each other's welfare and then went into the tent.
Markaasaa Muuse dibadda u baxay inuu ka hor tago soddoggiis, kolkaasuu u sujuuday oo dhunkaday, markaasaa intay iswaraysteen ayay teendhadii soo galeen.
8 Moses told his father-in-law all that Yahweh had done to Pharaoh and the Egyptians for Israel's sake, about all the hardships that had come to them along the way, and how Yahweh had rescued them.
Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu soddoggiis u sheegay kulli wixii Rabbigu ku sameeyey Fircoon iyo Masriyiintii oo uu ugu sameeyey reer binu Israa'iil aawadood, iyo wixii dhib iyaga ku dhacay oo dhan intay soo socdeen, iyo sidii Rabbigu uga samatabbixiyey.
9 Jethro rejoiced over all the good that Yahweh had done for Israel, in that he had rescued them from the hand of the Egyptians.
Markaasaa Yetroo ku farxay kulli wanaaggii Rabbigu reer binu Israa'iil u sameeyey oo dhan, iyo bixinta uu ka soo samatabbixiyey gacantii Masriyiinta.
10 Jethro said, “May Yahweh be praised, for he has rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of Pharaoh, and delivered the people from the hand of the Egyptians.
Markaasaa Yetroo wuxuu yidhi, Ammaan waxaa leh Rabbigii idinka soo samatabbixiyey gacantii Masriyiinta, iyo gacantii Fircoon; oo kaasu waa kii dadka ka soo samatabbixiyey gacantii Masriyiinta hoosteeda.
11 Now I know that Yahweh is greater than all the gods, because when the Egyptians treated the Israelites arrogantly, God rescued his people.”
Oo haatan anigu waan ogahay in Rabbigu ka wada weyn yahay ilaahyada oo dhan; waayo, waxyaalihii ay kula macaamiloodeen iyagoo kibirsan aawadeed, isagaa ka sarreeyey.
12 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, brought a burnt offering and sacrifices for God. Aaron and all the elders of Israel came to eat a meal before God with Moses' father-in-law.
Markaasaa Yetroo oo Muuse soddog u ahaa ayaa wuxuu qaaday qurbaan la gubo iyo allabaryo. Markaasaa waxaa yimid Haaruun iyo waayeelladii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan inay Ilaah hortiisa kibis kula cunaan Muuse soddoggiis.
13 On the next day Moses sat down to judge the people. The people stood around him from morning until evening.
Markaasaa waxaa maalintii dambe dhacday in Muuse u fadhiistay inuu dadkii u kala gar naqo; dadkiina waxay Muuse ag taagnaayeen subaxdii ilaa makhribkii.
14 When Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did for the people, he said, “What is this that you are doing with the people? Why is it that you sit alone and all the people stand about you from morning until evening?”
Oo Muuse soddoggiis markuu arkay wixii uu dadkii ku sameeyey oo dhan ayuu yidhi, Waa maxay waxan aad dadka ku samaynaysaa? Oo maxaad keligaa u fadhidaa, dadka oo dhammuna kuu ag taagan yahay subaxda ilaa makhribka?
15 Moses said to his father-in-law, “The people come to me to ask for God's direction.
Markaasaa Muuse soddoggiis ku yidhi, Maxaa yeelay, dadku waxay iigu yimaadaan inay Ilaah wax iga weyddiiyaan.
16 When they have a dispute, they come to me. I decide between one person and another, and I teach them God's statutes and laws.”
Oo markay wax isu haystaanna anigay ii yimaadaan, oo markaasaan u kala gar naqaa nin iyo deriskiisa, oo waxaan iyaga ogeysiiyaa amarrada Ilaah iyo qaynuunnadiisa.
17 Moses' father-in-law said to him, “What you are doing is not very good.
Markaasaa Muuse soddoggiis wuxuu isaga ku yidhi, War waxaad samaysaa ma wanaagsana.
18 You will surely wear yourselves out, you and the people who are with you. This burden is too heavy for you. You are not able to do it by yourself.
Waayo, hubaal waad ku daali doontaan, adiga iyo dadka kula joogaaba, maxaa yeelay, waxanu waa kugu culus yihiin adiga; oo ma aad awooddid inaad keli ahaantaa samayso.
19 Listen to me. I will give you advice, and God will be with you, because you are the people's representative to God, and you bring their disputes to him.
Haddaba bal i dhegayso oo waan kula talinayaaye, oo Ilaahna ha kula jiro. Adigu dadka daraaddiis Ilaah u dhowow, oo arrimahoodana Ilaah u keen.
20 You must teach them his statutes and laws. You must show them the way to walk and the work to do.
Oo waa inaad iyaga bartaa amarrada iyo qaynuunnada, oo waa inaad iyaga tustaa jidkii ay mari lahaayeen, iyo shuqulkii ay qaban lahaayeen.
21 Furthermore, you must choose capable men from all the people, men who honor God, men of truth who hate unjust gain. You must put them over people, to be leaders in charge of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and of tens.
Oo weliba waa inaad dadka oo dhan kala soo baxdaa rag karti leh, oo Ilaah ka cabsada, oo daacad ah, oo neceb faa'iidada xaqdarrada ah, oo kuwo caynkaas ah madax uga dhig, inay ahaadaan kuwo kun kun u taliya, iyo kuwo boqol boqol u taliya, iyo kuwo konton konton u taliya, iyo kuwo toban toban u taliya,
22 They will judge the people in all routine cases, but the difficult cases they will bring to you. As for all the small cases, they can judge those themselves. In that way it will be easier for you, and they will carry the burden with you.
oo kuwaasu dadka ha u gar naqeen had iyo goor, oo waxay noqon doontaa in wixii weyn oo dhan ay adiga kuu keenaan, laakiinse wixii yar oo dhan ay iyagu ka gar naqi doonaan; oo sidaasaa hawshu kaaga yaraan doontaa, oo iyana hawshay kula qaybsan doonaan.
23 If you do this, and if God commands you to do so, then you will be able to endure, and the entire people will be able to go home satisfied.”
Oo haddaad waxan samaysid, oo haddii Ilaah sidan kugu amro, de markaas waad adkaysan kari doontaa, oo dadkan oo dhammuna meeshooda ayay nabad ku tegi doonaan.
24 So Moses listened to his father-in-law's words and did everything that he had said.
Sidaas daraaddeed Muuse wuu dhegaystay hadalkii soddoggiis, wuuna wada sameeyey wixii uu ku yidhi oo dhan.
25 Moses chose capable men from all Israel and made them heads over the people, leaders in charge of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens.
Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan ka doortay rag karti leh, oo wuxuu ka dhigay madaxdii dadka, oo ah kuwo kun kun u taliya, iyo kuwo boqol boqol u taliya, iyo kuwo konton konton u taliya, iyo kuwo toban toban u taliya.
26 They judged the people in normal circumstances. The difficult cases they brought to Moses, but they themselves judged all the small cases.
Oo dadkay u gar naqi jireen had iyo goorba, oo arrimaha adadagna waxay u keeni jireen Muuse, laakiinse wixii yaryar oo dhan iyagaa ka gar naqi jiray.
27 Then Moses let his father-in-law leave, and Jethro went back into his own land.
Markaasaa Muuse u oggolaaday soddoggiis inuu tago, isna dalkiisii ayuu tegey.
