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 Jethro the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done to Moses, and to Israel his people; that Jehovah had brought Israel out of Egypt.
2 Bayan da Musa ya tura matarsa Ziffora gida, sai surukinsa Yetro ya karɓe ta
And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,
3 da’ya’yanta biyu maza. Ana kira ɗaya Gershom, domin Musa ya ce, “Na zama baƙo a baƙuwar ƙasa”;
and her two sons, of whom the name of the one was Gershom — for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign 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 other, Eliezer — For the God of my father has been my help, and has delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.
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 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came to Moses with his sons and his wife into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mountain 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 he sent word to Moses: I, thy father-in-law Jethro, am come to thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
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 out to meet his father-in-law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other [after] their welfare, and went 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 told his father-in-law all that Jehovah had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake; all the trouble that had befallen them on the way, and [how] Jehovah had delivered them.
9 Yetro ya yi murna da jin duk abubuwa masu kyau da Ubangiji ya yi wa Isra’ila, wajen cetonsu daga hannun Masarawa.
And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness that Jehovah had done to Israel; that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.
10 “Yabo ga Ubangiji wanda ya cece ku daga hannun Masarawa da na Fir’auna, wanda kuma ya cece mutanensa daga hannun Masarawa.
And Jethro said, Blessed be Jehovah, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh; who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
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 I know that Jehovah is greater than all gods; for in the thing in which they acted haughtily [he was] above 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 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took a burnt-offering and sacrifices for God; and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law in the presence of 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 on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people; and the people stood by Moses from the morning to the 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 Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did with the people, and said, What is this thing which thou art doing with the people? why dost thou sit alone, and all the people are standing by thee from morning to evening?
15 Musa ya amsa ya ce, “Saboda mutanen suna zuwa wurina, don su nemi nufin Allah.
And Moses said to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me to enquire of 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.”
When they have a matter, they come to me, and I judge between one and another; and I make known [to them] the statutes of God, and his laws.
17 Surukin Musa ya amsa ya ce, “Abin da kake yi ba daidai ba ne.
And Moses' father-in-law said to him, The thing that thou art doing is not good.
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 be quite exhausted, both thou and this people that is with thee; for the thing is too heavy for thee: thou canst not perform it 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.
Hearken now to my voice: I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee. Be thou for the people with God, and bring the matters before God;
20 Ka koya musu dokokinsa da farillarsa, ka kuma nuna musu hanyar rayuwa da ayyukan da za su yi.
and teach them the statutes and the laws, and make known to them the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must 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.
But do thou provide among all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place [them] over them, chiefs of thousands, chiefs of hundreds, chiefs of fifties, and chiefs 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.
that they may judge the people at all times; and it shall be [that] they shall bring to thee every great matter, and that they shall judge every small matter, and they shall lighten [the task] on thee, and they shall bear [it] with 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 do this thing, and God command thee [so], thou wilt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.
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 all that he had said.
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 able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, chiefs of thousands, chiefs of hundreds, chiefs of fifties, and chiefs of tens.
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: the hard matters they brought to Moses, but every small matter they judged.
27 Sa’an nan Musa ya sallame surukinsa Yetro, ya kuwa koma ƙasarsa.
And Moses sent away his father-in-law, and he departed into his land.
