< Exodo 18 >

1 Si Jethro nga, saserdote sa Madian, biyanan ni Moises, ay nakabalita ng lahat na ginawa ng Dios kay Moises, at sa Israel na kaniyang bayan, kung paanong inilabas ng Panginoon ang Israel sa Egipto.
And he heard Jethro [the] priest of Midian [the] father-in-law of Moses all that he had done God for Moses and for Israel people his that he had brought out Yahweh Israel from Egypt.
2 At ipinagsama ni Jethro, na biyanan ni Moises, si Sephora na asawa ni Moises, pagkatapos na kaniyang maipadala sa kanilang ama,
And he had taken Jethro [the] father-in-law of Moses Zipporah [the] wife of Moses after dismissal her.
3 At ang dalawa niyang anak na lalake: na ang pangalan ng isa'y Gersom; sapagka't sinabi ni Moises, Ako'y nakipamayan sa ibang bayan.
And [the] two sons her who [the] name of the one [was] Gershom for he had said a sojourner I have become in a land foreign.
4 At ang pangalan ng isa'y Elieser; sapagka't kaniyang sinabi, Ang Dios ng aking ama'y naging aking saklolo, at ako'y iniligtas sa tabak ni Faraon;
And [the] name of the one [was] Eliezer for [the] God of father my [has been] help my and he has delivered me from [the] sword of Pharaoh.
5 At si Jethro, na biyanan ni Moises, ay dumating, na kasama ang kaniyang mga anak at ang kaniyang asawa, kay Moises sa ilang na kaniyang hinantungan sa tabi ng bundok ng Dios:
And he came Jethro [the] father-in-law of Moses and sons his and wife his to Moses into the wilderness where he [was] encamped there [the] mountain of God.
6 At kaniyang ipinasabi kay Moises, Akong iyong biyanang si Jethro ay naparito sa iyo, at ang iyong asawa, at ang kaniyang dalawang anak na kasama niya.
And he said to Moses I father-in-law your Jethro [am] coming to you and wife your and [the] two sons her with her.
7 At si Moises ay lumabas na sinalubong ang kaniyang biyanan, at kaniyang niyukuran at hinalikan. At sila'y nagtanungang isa't isa ng kanilang kalagayan; at sila'y pumasok sa tolda.
And he went out Moses to meet father-in-law his and he bowed down and he kissed him and they asked each of neighbor his to welfare and they went the tent towards.
8 At isinaysay ni Moises sa kaniyang biyanan ang lahat ng ginawa ng Panginoon kay Faraon at sa mga Egipcio dahil sa Israel, ang buong hirap na kanilang naranasan sa daan, at kung paanong iniligtas ng Panginoon sila.
And he recounted Moses to father-in-law his all that he had done Yahweh to Pharaoh and to Egypt on [the] causes of Israel all the hardship which it had come upon them on the journey and he had delivered them Yahweh.
9 At ikinagalak ni Jethro ang buong kabutihang ginawa ng Panginoon sa Israel, na iniligtas sila sa kamay ng mga Egipcio.
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 At sinabi ni Jethro, Purihin ang Panginoon, na nagligtas sa inyo, sa kamay ng mga Egipcio, at sa kamay ni Faraon; na siyang nagligtas sa bayan sa kamay ng mga Egipcio.
And he said Jethro [be] blessed Yahweh who he has delivered you from [the] hand of Egypt and from [the] hand of Pharaoh who he has delivered the people from under [the] hand of Egypt.
11 Ngayo'y aking natatalastas na ang Panginoon ay lalong dakila kay sa lahat ng mga dios: oo, sa bagay na ipinagpalalo ng mga Egipcio laban sa mga Hebreo.
Now I know that [is] great Yahweh more than all the gods for in the matter which they have acted presumptuously on them.
12 At si Jethro, na biyanan ni Moises, ay kumuha ng handog na susunugin at mga hain para sa Dios: at si Aaron ay naparoon, at ang lahat ng mga matanda sa Israel, upang kumain ng tinapay na kasalo ng biyanan ni Moises sa harap ng Dios.
And he took Jethro [the] father-in-law of Moses a burnt offering and sacrifices to God and he came Aaron and all - [the] elders of Israel to eat food with [the] father-in-law of Moses before God.
13 At nangyari kinabukasan, na lumuklok si Moises upang hatulan ang bayan: at ang bayan ay tumayo sa palibot ni Moises mula sa umaga hanggang sa hapon.
And it was from [the] next day and he sat Moses to judge the people and it stood the people at Moses from the morning until the evening.
14 At nang makita ng biyanan ni Moises ang lahat ng kaniyang ginagawa sa bayan, ay nagsabi, Anong bagay itong ginagawa mo sa bayan? bakit nauupo kang magisa, at ang buong bayan ay nakatayo sa palibot mo mula sa umaga hanggang sa hapon?
And he saw [the] father-in-law of Moses all that he [was] doing for the people and he said what? [is] the thing this which you [are] doing for the people why? [are] you sitting to alone you and all the people [is] standing at you from morning until evening.
15 At sinabi ni Moises sa kaniyang biyanan, Sapagka't ang bayan ay lumalapit sa akin, upang sumangguni sa Dios.
And he said Moses to father-in-law his thatr it comes to me the people to consult God.
16 Pagka sila'y may usap ay lumapit sa akin; at aking hinahatulang isa't isa, at aking ipinakikilala sa kanila ang mga palatuntunan ng Dios, at ang kaniyang mga kautusan.
For it will be[long] to them a matter [it is] coming to me and I judge between each and between neighbor his and I make known [the] statutes of God and laws his.
17 At sinabi ng biyanan ni Moises sa kaniya, Ang bagay na iyong ginagawa ay hindi mabuti.
And he said [the] father-in-law of Moses to him not [is] good the thing which you [are] doing.
18 Tunay na ikaw ay manghihina, ikaw at ang bayang ito, na nasa iyo: sapagka't ang bagay ay totoong mabigat sa iyo; hindi mo makakayang magisa.
Certainly you will wear yourself out both you as well as the people this which [is] with you for [is too] heavy for you the thing not you are able to do it to alone you.
19 Dinggin mo ngayon ang aking tinig; papayuhan kita, at sumaiyo nawa ang Dios: ikaw ang maging tagapagakay sa bayan sa harap ng Dios, at dalhin mo ang mga usap sa Dios:
Now listen to voice my let me advise you and may he be God with you be you for the people in front of God and you will bring you the matters to God.
20 At ituturo mo sa kanila ang mga palatuntunan, at ang mga kautusan, at ipakikilala mo sa kanila ang daang nararapat lakaran, at ang gawang kanilang nararapat gawin.
And you will warn them the statutes and the laws and you will make known to them the way [which] they will walk in it and the work which they will do!
21 Bukod dito'y hahanap ka sa buong bayan ng mga taong bihasa, gaya ng matatakutin sa Dios, na mga taong mapagpatotoo, na mga napopoot sa kasakiman; at siyang mga ilagay mo sa kanila, na magpuno sa mga lilibuhin, magpuno sa mga dadaanin, magpuno sa mga lilimangpuin, at magpuno sa mga sasangpuin:
And you you will provide from all the people men of ability [those] fearing God men of faithfulness [who] hate unjust gain and you will appoint over them officials of thousands officials of hundreds officials of fifties and officials of tens.
22 At pahatulan mo sa kanila ang bayan sa buong panahon: at mangyayari, na bawa't malaking usap ay dadalhin nila sa iyo, datapuwa't bawa't munting usap, ay silasila ang maghahatulan: sa ganyan ay magiging magaan sa iyo, at magpapasan silang katulong mo.
And they will judge the people at every time and it will be every matter great they will bring to you and every matter small they will judge they and lighten from on yourself and they will bear with you.
23 Kung gagawin mo ang bagay na ito, at iuutos sa iyong ganyan ng Dios ay iyo ngang mababata, at ang buong bayan namang ito ay uuwing payapa.
If the thing this you will do and he will command you God and you will be able to endure and also all the people this to place its it will go in peace.
24 Sa gayon, ay dininig ni Moises ang kaniyang biyanan, at ginawang lahat yaong sinabi.
And he listened Moses to [the] voice father-in-law his and he did all that he had said.
25 At pumili si Moises ng mga lalaking bihasa sa buong Israel, at ginawa niyang pangulo sa bayan, na mga puno ng lilibuhin, mga puno ng dadaanin, mga puno ng lilimangpuin, at mga puno ng sasangpuin.
And he chose Moses men of ability from all Israel and he appointed them chiefs over the people of icials of thousands officials of hundreds officials of fifties and officials of tens.
26 At kanilang hinatulan ang bayan sa buong panahon: ang mabibigat na usap ay kanilang dinadala kay Moises, datapuwa't bawa't munting usap ay silasila ang naghahatulan.
And they judged the people at every time the matter difficult they brought! to Moses and every matter small they judged they.
27 At tinulutan ni Moises ang kaniyang biyanan na magpaalam at siya'y umuwi sa sariling lupain.
And he sent off Moses father-in-law his and he went himself to land his.
