Fitowa 18
1 Ana nan sai Yetro firist na Midiyan, kuma surukin Musa, ya ji duk abin da Allah ya yi wa Musa da mutanensa Isra’ila, da kuma yadda Ubangiji ya fitar da Isra’ila daga Masar.
And Jothor the priest of Madiam, the father-in-law of Moses, heard of all that the Lord did to his people Israel; for the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt.
2 Bayan da Musa ya tura matarsa Ziffora gida, sai surukinsa Yetro ya karɓe ta
And Jothor the father-in-law of Moses, took Sepphora the wife of Moses after she had been sent away,
3 da’ya’yanta biyu maza. Ana kira ɗaya Gershom, domin Musa ya ce, “Na zama baƙo a baƙuwar ƙasa”;
and her two sons: the name of the one was Gersam, [his father] saying, I was a sojourner in a strange land; —
4 ɗayan kuma Eliyezer, domin ya ce, “Allah mahaifina ya taimake ni ya cece ni daga takobin Fir’auna.”
and the name of the second Eliezer, saying, For the God of my father [is] my helper, and he has rescued me out of the hand of Pharao.
5 Yetro surukin Musa tare da’ya’yan Musa da matarsa suka zo wurin Musa a hamada, inda suka kafa sansani kusa da dutsen Allah
And Jothor the father-in-law of Moses, and his sons and his wife, went forth to Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped on the mount of God.
6 Yetro ya riga ya aika wa Musa cewa, “Ni surukinka Yetro, ina zuwa wurinka tare da matarka da’ya’yanka maza biyu.”
And it was told Moses, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law Jothor is coming to thee, and thy wife and two sons with him.
7 Sai Musa ya tafi yă taryi surukinsa, ya sunkuya ya yi masa sumba. Suka gai da juna, sa’an nan suka shiga tenti.
And Moses went forth to meet his father-in-law, and did him reverence, and kissed him, and they embraced each other, and he brought them into the tent.
8 Musa kuwa ya faɗa wa surukinsa duk abubuwan da Ubangiji ya yi wa Fir’auna da Masarawa domin Isra’ila, da batun wahalolin da suka sha a hanya, da yadda Ubangiji ya cece su.
And Moses related to his father-in-law all things that the Lord did to Pharao and all the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the labour that had befallen them in the way, and that the Lord had rescued them out of the hand of Pharao, and out of the hand of the Egyptians.
9 Yetro ya yi murna da jin duk abubuwa masu kyau da Ubangiji ya yi wa Isra’ila, wajen cetonsu daga hannun Masarawa.
And Jothor was amazed at all the good things which the Lord did to them, forasmuch as he rescued them out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharao.
10 “Yabo ga Ubangiji wanda ya cece ku daga hannun Masarawa da na Fir’auna, wanda kuma ya cece mutanensa daga hannun Masarawa.
And Jothor said, Blessed be the Lord, because he has rescued them out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharao.
11 Yanzu na san cewa Ubangiji ya fi kowane allah, gama ya yi wannan ga masu girman kai da kuma waɗanda suka wulaƙanta Isra’ila.”
Now know I that the Lord is great above all gods, because of this, wherein they attacked them.
12 Sa’an nan Yetro surukin Musa, ya kawo hadaya ta ƙonawa da waɗansu hadayu wa Allah, Haruna ya zo tare da dukan dattawan Isra’ila, suka ci abinci tare da surukin Musa a gaban Allah.
And Jothor the father-in-law of Moses took whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices for God, for Aaron and all the elders of Israel came to eat bread with the father-in-law of Moses before God.
13 Kashegari, Musa ya zauna domin yă yi wa mutane shari’a, sai suka tsaya kewaye da shi daga safe har yamma.
And it came to pass after the morrow that Moses sat to judge the people, and all the people stood by Moses from morning till evening.
14 Sa’ad da surukinsa ya lura da duk abin da Musa yake yi saboda mutane, sai ya ce, “Mene ne wannan da kake yi wa mutane? Don me kai kaɗai kake zama kana yin shari’a wa mutane, yayinda mutanen nan suke tsaya kewaye da kai daga safe har yamma?”
And Jothor having seen all that [Moses] did to the people, says, What is this that thou doest to the people? wherefore sittest thou alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning till evening?
15 Musa ya amsa ya ce, “Saboda mutanen suna zuwa wurina, don su nemi nufin Allah.
And Moses says to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me to seek judgment from God.
16 Duk lokacin da suke da gardama, akan kawo su a wurina, ni kuma sai in raba tsakaninsu, in kuma koya musu dokokin Allah da farillansa.”
For whenever there is a dispute among them, and they come to me, I give judgment upon each, and I teach them the ordinances of God and his law.
17 Surukin Musa ya amsa ya ce, “Abin da kake yi ba daidai ba ne.
And the father-in-law of Moses said to him, Thou dost not this thing rightly,
18 Kai da dukan mutanen da suke zuwa wurinka za ku gajiyar da kanku. Aikin ya fi ƙarfinka; ba za ka iya yinsa kai kaɗai ba.
thou wilt wear away with intolerable weariness, both those and all this people which is with thee: this thing is hard, thou wilt not be able to endure it thyself alone.
19 Ka kasa kunne gare ni yanzu, zan ba ka shawara, Allah kuma yă kasance tare da kai. Kai za ka zama wakilin mutane a gaban Allah, ka kuma kawo gardamansu gare shi.
Now then hearken to me, and I will advise thee, and God shall be with thee: be thou to the people in the things pertaining to God, and thou shalt bring their matters to God.
20 Ka koya musu dokokinsa da farillarsa, ka kuma nuna musu hanyar rayuwa da ayyukan da za su yi.
And thou shalt testify to them the ordinances of God and his law, and thou shalt shew to them the ways in which they shall walk, and the works which they shall do.
21 Amma ka zaɓi mutane masu iyawa daga dukan mutane, maza masu tsoron Allah, amintattu, masu ƙin rashawa, ka sanya su shugabanni na dubbai, ɗari-ɗari, hamsin-hamsin da goma-goma.
And do thou look out for thyself out of all the people able men, fearing God, righteous men, hating pride, and thou shalt set over the people captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens.
22 Bari waɗannan mutane su sassanta mutane a kan ƙananan matsaloli, amma kowace babban matsala, ko bukata ta musamman, sai su kawo wurinka, ƙananan matsaloli kuma sai su yanke hukuncin da kansu. Ta haka ne za su taimaka wajen ɗaukan nauyin jama’a, don su sa aikin yă zama maka da sauƙi.
And they shall judge the people at all times, and the too burdensome matter they shall bring to thee, but they shall judge the smaller cases; so they shall relieve thee and help thee.
23 In ka yi haka, Allah ya umarta za ka iya jimre gajiyar, kuma dukan mutanen nan za su koma gida da murna.”
If thou wilt do this thing, God shall strengthen thee, and thou shalt be able to attend, and all this people shall come with peace into their own place.
24 Musa ya kasa kunne ga surukinsa, ya kuma aikata duk abin da ya faɗa.
And Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did whatsoever he said to him.
25 Ya zaɓi mutane masu iyawa daga cikin dukan Isra’ila, ya naɗa su shugabannin mutane, shugabanni a kan dubbai, ɗari-ɗari, hamsin-hamsin da goma-goma.
And Moses chose out able men out of all Israel, and he made them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties and captains of tens over the people.
26 Suka yi hidimar alƙalanci na mutane a dukan lokaci. Gardandamin da suke da wuya, suka kawo wurin Musa, amma ƙananan batuttuwa, suka shari’anta a tsakaninsu.
And they judged the people at all times; and every too burdensome matter they brought to Moses, but every light matter they judged themselves.
27 Sa’an nan Musa ya sallame surukinsa Yetro, ya kuwa koma ƙasarsa.
And Moses dismissed his father-in-law, and he returned to his own land.
