Otra Mozus 18
1 Kad nu Jetrus, tas Midijanas priesteris, Mozus tēvocis, dzirdēja visu, ko Dievs bija darījis Mozum un Israēlim, Saviem ļaudīm, ka Tas Kungs Israēli bija izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes,
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 Tad Jetrus, Mozus tēvocis, ņēma Ciporu, Mozus sievu, ko šis bija atpakaļ sūtījis, un viņa divus dēlus.
And Jothor the father-in-law of Moses, took Sepphora the wife of Moses after she had been sent away,
3 Tam vienam vārds bija Geršons, jo viņš sacīja: es esmu svešinieks bijis svešā zemē.
and her two sons: the name of the one was Gersam, [his father] saying, I was a sojourner in a strange land; —
4 Un tam otram vārds Eliēzers, jo (viņš sacīja) mana tēva Dievs man bijis par palīgu un mani ir izrāvis no Faraona zobena.
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 Kad nu Jetrus, Mozus tēvocis, un viņa dēli un viņa sieva nāca pie Mozus tuksnesī, kur viņš lēģeri bija apmetis, pie Tā Dieva kalna, tad viņš lika Mozum sacīt:
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 Es, Jetrus, tavs tēvocis, nāku pie tevis un tava sieva un viņas divi dēli līdz ar viņu.
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 Tad Mozus izgāja ārā savam tēvocim pretī un klanījās un viņu skūpstīja, un tie apsveicinājās viens otru un gāja teltī.
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 Un Mozus stāstīja savam tēvocim visu, ko Tas Kungs Israēla dēļ bija darījis Faraonam un ēģiptiešiem, visu grūtumu, kas tiem ceļā bija noticis, un kā Tas Kungs tos bija izglābis.
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 Un Jetrus priecājās par visu to labumu, ko Tas Kungs Israēlim bija darījis, ka viņš tos izglābis no ēģiptiešu rokas.
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 Un Jetrus sacīja: slavēts lai ir Tas Kungs, kas jūs izglābis no ēģiptiešu rokas un no Faraona rokas, kas tos ļaudis izpestījis no ēģiptiešu rokas.
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 Nu es atzīstu, ka Tas Kungs lielāks nekā visi dievi, jo tāds Viņš parādījies, kad ēģiptieši pret viņiem bija lieli.
Now know I that the Lord is great above all gods, because of this, wherein they attacked them.
12 Tad Jetrus, Mozus tēvocis, ņēma dedzināmos upurus un kaujamus upurus priekš Dieva, un Ārons un visi Israēla vecaji nāca ēst maizi ar Mozus tēvoci Dieva priekšā.
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 Un otrā dienā Mozus apsēdās, tos ļaudis tiesāt, un tie ļaudis stāvēja Mozus priekšā no rīta līdz vakaram.
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 Kad nu Mozus tēvocis visu redzēja, ko viņš tiem ļaudīm darīja, tad tas sacīja: kas tas ir, ko tu ar tiem ļaudīm dari? Kāpēc tu viens pats sēdi, un visi ļaudis stāv tavā priekšā no rīta līdz vakaram?
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 Tad Mozus sacīja uz savu tēvoci: tāpēc ka tie ļaudis pie manis nāk Dievu vaicāt.
And Moses says to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me to seek judgment from God.
16 Kad tiem ir kāda lieta, tad tie nāk pie manis, un es tiesāju starp vienu un otru un daru tiem zināmus Dieva likumus un viņa bauslību.
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 Tad Mozus tēvocis uz viņu sacīja: tā nav labi, kā tu dari.
And the father-in-law of Moses said to him, Thou dost not this thing rightly,
18 Tu gurtin pagursi, gan tu, gan šie ļaudis, kas pie tevis; jo tas tev ir par grūtu, tu viens pats to nespēji izdarīt.
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 Nu klausi manu balsi, - es tev došu padomu, tad Dievs būs ar tevi. Stāvi tu par tiem ļaudīm Dieva priekšā un nes tās lietas Dieva priekšā,
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 Un māci tiem likumus un baušļus, un dari tiem zināmu to ceļu, kur tiem jāiet, un to darbu, kas tiem jādara.
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 Bet lūko starp visiem tiem ļaudīm pēc krietniem un dievbijīgiem vīriem, pēc taisniem vīriem, kas negausību ienīst, un iecel no šiem pār viņiem virsniekus pār tūkstošiem, virsniekus pār simtiem, virsniekus pār piecdesmitiem un virsniekus pār desmitiem,
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 Un lai tie tos ļaudis tiesā jebkurā laikā; bet tā, ka tie tev nes priekšā visas lielās lietas un visas mazās lietas paši tiesā; atvieglini tā savu nastu, un lai tie tev palīdz nest.
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 Ja tu tā darīsi, un Dievs tev to pavēlēs, tad tu varēsi pastāvēt, un arī visi šie ļaudis nāks savā vietā ar mieru.
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 Un Mozus klausīja sava tēvoča balsij un darīja visu, ko tas bija sacījis.
And Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did whatsoever he said to him.
25 Un Mozus izraudzīja krietnus vīrus no visa Israēla un tos iecēla par virsniekiem pār tiem ļaudīm, virsniekus pār tūkstošiem, virsniekus pār simtiem, virsniekus pār piecdesmitiem un virsniekus pār desmitiem,
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 Ka tie tos ļaudis jebkurā laikā tiesātu un grūtās lietas nestu Mozus priekšā, bet visas mazās lietas paši tiesātu.
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 Tad Mozus atlaida savu tēvoci, un tas gāja atkal uz savu zemi.
And Moses dismissed his father-in-law, and he returned to his own land.
