Baxniintii 18
1 Haddaba wadaadkii Midyaan oo Yetroo ahaa, Muusena soddog u ahaa, ayaa wuxuu maqlay kulli wixii Rabbigu u sameeyey Muuse iyo dadkiisa reer binu Israa'iil, iyo sidii Rabbigu reer binu Israa'iil uga soo bixiyey dalkii Masar.
And Jethro priest of Midian, father-in-law of Moses, hears all that God has done for Moses and for His people Israel, that YHWH has brought out Israel from Egypt,
2 Markaasaa Yetroo oo Muuse soddog u ahaa ayaa wuxuu soo kexeeyey naagtii Muuse oo ahayd Siforaah, markuu iska diray dabadeed,
and Jethro, father-in-law of Moses, takes Zipporah, wife of Moses, after her parting,
3 iyadii iyo labadeedii wiilba, oo midkood magiciisu wuxuu ahaa Gershoom, waayo, wuxuu yidhi, Qariib baan ku ahaa dal qalaad,
and her two sons, of whom the name of one [is] Gershom, for he said, “I have been a sojourner in a strange land”;
4 midka kalena magiciisuna wuxuu ahaa Eliiceser; waayo, wuxuu yidhi, Ilaahii aabbahay baa i caawiyey, oo wuxuu iga samatabbixiyey seeftii Fircoon.
and the name of the other [is] Eliezer, for, “The God of my father [is] for my help, and He delivers me from the sword of Pharaoh.”
5 Markaasaa Yetroo oo Muuse soddog u ahaa ayaa Muuse ugu yimid cidladii ay degeen oo buurtii Ilaah agteeda ahayd isagoo wada wiilashiisii iyo naagtiisii.
And Jethro, father-in-law of Moses, comes, and his sons, and his wife, to Moses, to the wilderness where he is encamping—the mountain of God;
6 Markaasuu wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Anigoo ah Yetroo soddoggaa waan kuu imid aniga iyo naagtaada iyadoo wadata labadeedii wiilba.
and he says to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you, and your wife, and her two sons with her.”
7 Markaasaa Muuse dibadda u baxay inuu ka hor tago soddoggiis, kolkaasuu u sujuuday oo dhunkaday, markaasaa intay iswaraysteen ayay teendhadii soo galeen.
And Moses goes out to meet his father-in-law, and bows himself, and kisses him, and they ask of one another of welfare, and come into the tent;
8 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu soddoggiis u sheegay kulli wixii Rabbigu ku sameeyey Fircoon iyo Masriyiintii oo uu ugu sameeyey reer binu Israa'iil aawadood, iyo wixii dhib iyaga ku dhacay oo dhan intay soo socdeen, iyo sidii Rabbigu uga samatabbixiyey.
and Moses recounts to his father-in-law all that YHWH has done to Pharaoh, and to the Egyptians, on account of Israel, all the travail which has found them in the way, and [how] YHWH delivers them.
9 Markaasaa Yetroo ku farxay kulli wanaaggii Rabbigu reer binu Israa'iil u sameeyey oo dhan, iyo bixinta uu ka soo samatabbixiyey gacantii Masriyiinta.
And Jethro rejoices for all the good which YHWH has done to Israel, whom He has delivered from the hand of the Egyptians;
10 Markaasaa Yetroo wuxuu yidhi, Ammaan waxaa leh Rabbigii idinka soo samatabbixiyey gacantii Masriyiinta, iyo gacantii Fircoon; oo kaasu waa kii dadka ka soo samatabbixiyey gacantii Masriyiinta hoosteeda.
and Jethro says, “Blessed [is] YHWH, who has delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of Pharaoh—who has delivered this people from under the hand of the Egyptians;
11 Oo haatan anigu waan ogahay in Rabbigu ka wada weyn yahay ilaahyada oo dhan; waayo, waxyaalihii ay kula macaamiloodeen iyagoo kibirsan aawadeed, isagaa ka sarreeyey.
now I have known that YHWH [is] greater than all the gods, for in the thing they have acted proudly—[He is] above them!”
12 Markaasaa Yetroo oo Muuse soddog u ahaa ayaa wuxuu qaaday qurbaan la gubo iyo allabaryo. Markaasaa waxaa yimid Haaruun iyo waayeelladii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan inay Ilaah hortiisa kibis kula cunaan Muuse soddoggiis.
And Jethro, father-in-law of Moses, takes a burnt-offering and sacrifices [it] for God; and Aaron comes in, and all [the] elderly of Israel, to eat bread with the father-in-law of Moses, before God.
13 Markaasaa waxaa maalintii dambe dhacday in Muuse u fadhiistay inuu dadkii u kala gar naqo; dadkiina waxay Muuse ag taagnaayeen subaxdii ilaa makhribkii.
And it comes to pass on the next day, that Moses sits to judge the people, and the people stand before Moses from the morning to the evening;
14 Oo Muuse soddoggiis markuu arkay wixii uu dadkii ku sameeyey oo dhan ayuu yidhi, Waa maxay waxan aad dadka ku samaynaysaa? Oo maxaad keligaa u fadhidaa, dadka oo dhammuna kuu ag taagan yahay subaxda ilaa makhribka?
and the father-in-law of Moses sees all that he is doing for the people and says, “What [is] this thing which you are doing for the people? Why are you sitting by yourself, and all the people standing by you from morning until evening?”
15 Markaasaa Muuse soddoggiis ku yidhi, Maxaa yeelay, dadku waxay iigu yimaadaan inay Ilaah wax iga weyddiiyaan.
And Moses says to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to seek God;
16 Oo markay wax isu haystaanna anigay ii yimaadaan, oo markaasaan u kala gar naqaa nin iyo deriskiisa, oo waxaan iyaga ogeysiiyaa amarrada Ilaah iyo qaynuunnadiisa.
when they have a matter, it has come to me, and I have judged between a man and his neighbor, and made known the statutes of God, and His laws.”
17 Markaasaa Muuse soddoggiis wuxuu isaga ku yidhi, War waxaad samaysaa ma wanaagsana.
And the father-in-law of Moses says to him, “The thing which you are doing [is] not good;
18 Waayo, hubaal waad ku daali doontaan, adiga iyo dadka kula joogaaba, maxaa yeelay, waxanu waa kugu culus yihiin adiga; oo ma aad awooddid inaad keli ahaantaa samayso.
you surely wear away, both you, and this people which [is] with you, for the thing is too heavy for you, you are not able to do it by yourself.
19 Haddaba bal i dhegayso oo waan kula talinayaaye, oo Ilaahna ha kula jiro. Adigu dadka daraaddiis Ilaah u dhowow, oo arrimahoodana Ilaah u keen.
Now listen to my voice, I counsel you, and God is with you: be for the people before God, and you have brought in the things to God;
20 Oo waa inaad iyaga bartaa amarrada iyo qaynuunnada, oo waa inaad iyaga tustaa jidkii ay mari lahaayeen, iyo shuqulkii ay qaban lahaayeen.
and you have warned them [concerning] the statutes and the laws, and have made known to them the way in which they go, and the work which they do.
21 Oo weliba waa inaad dadka oo dhan kala soo baxdaa rag karti leh, oo Ilaah ka cabsada, oo daacad ah, oo neceb faa'iidada xaqdarrada ah, oo kuwo caynkaas ah madax uga dhig, inay ahaadaan kuwo kun kun u taliya, iyo kuwo boqol boqol u taliya, iyo kuwo konton konton u taliya, iyo kuwo toban toban u taliya,
And you provide out of all the people men of ability, fearing God, men of truth, hating dishonest gain, and have placed [these] over them [for] heads of thousands, heads of hundreds, heads of fifties, and heads of tens,
22 oo kuwaasu dadka ha u gar naqeen had iyo goor, oo waxay noqon doontaa in wixii weyn oo dhan ay adiga kuu keenaan, laakiinse wixii yar oo dhan ay iyagu ka gar naqi doonaan; oo sidaasaa hawshu kaaga yaraan doontaa, oo iyana hawshay kula qaybsan doonaan.
and they have judged the people at all times; and it has come to pass, they bring every great matter to you, and they judge every small matter themselves; and lighten it from off yourself, and they have borne with you.
23 Oo haddaad waxan samaysid, oo haddii Ilaah sidan kugu amro, de markaas waad adkaysan kari doontaa, oo dadkan oo dhammuna meeshooda ayay nabad ku tegi doonaan.
If you do this thing, and God has commanded you, then you have been able to stand, and all this people also goes to its place in peace.”
24 Sidaas daraaddeed Muuse wuu dhegaystay hadalkii soddoggiis, wuuna wada sameeyey wixii uu ku yidhi oo dhan.
And Moses listens to the voice of his father-in-law, and does all that he said,
25 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan ka doortay rag karti leh, oo wuxuu ka dhigay madaxdii dadka, oo ah kuwo kun kun u taliya, iyo kuwo boqol boqol u taliya, iyo kuwo konton konton u taliya, iyo kuwo toban toban u taliya.
and Moses chooses men of ability out of all Israel, and makes them chiefs over the people [for] heads of thousands, heads of hundreds, heads of fifties, and heads of tens,
26 Oo dadkay u gar naqi jireen had iyo goorba, oo arrimaha adadagna waxay u keeni jireen Muuse, laakiinse wixii yaryar oo dhan iyagaa ka gar naqi jiray.
and they have judged the people at all times; they bring the hard matter to Moses, and they judge every small matter themselves.
27 Markaasaa Muuse u oggolaaday soddoggiis inuu tago, isna dalkiisii ayuu tegey.
And Moses sends his father-in-law away, and he goes away to his own land.
