9 Ke Jethro el lohng tari ma inge nukewa, el engan

And he rejoiced Jethro on all the good which he had done Yahweh to Israel whom he had delivered it from [the] hand of Egypt.

10 ac fahk, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD, su molikowosla liki mwet Egypt ac tokosra lalos! Kaksakin LEUM GOD, su molela mwet lal liki moul in mwet kohs!
