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.
When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, [and] that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt;
2 Bayan da Musa ya tura matarsa Ziffora gida, sai surukinsa Yetro ya karɓe ta
Then 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 which the name of the one [was] Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien 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 other [was] Eliezer; for the God of my father, [said he, was] mine help, and 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 with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at 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 he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto 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 of [their] welfare; and they came 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 the LORD had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, [and] all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and [how] the LORD 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 which the LORD had done to Israel, whom he had delivered 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] the LORD, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath 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 the LORD [is] greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly [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 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 on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto 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 when Moses’ father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What [is] this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?
15 Musa ya amsa ya ce, “Saboda mutanen suna zuwa wurina, don su nemi nufin Allah.
And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto 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 unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make [them] know 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 unto him, The thing that thou doest [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 surely wear away, both thou, and this people that [is] with thee: for this thing [is] too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform 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.
Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:
20 Ka koya musu dokokinsa da farillarsa, ka kuma nuna musu hanyar rayuwa da ayyukan da za su yi.
And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein 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.
Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place [such] over them, [to be] rulers of thousands, [and] rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers 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 let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, [that] every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear [the burden] 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 shalt do this thing, and God command thee [so], then thou shalt 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.
So 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, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers 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 seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
27 Sa’an nan Musa ya sallame surukinsa Yetro, ya kuwa koma ƙasarsa.
And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land.
