1 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻa Setelo, ko e taulaʻeiki ʻo Mitiane, ko e tamai ʻi he fono kia Mōsese, ki he meʻa kotoa pē kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtua maʻa Mōsese, pea ki hono kakai ko ʻIsileli, pea mo e ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻIsileli mei ʻIsipite;
Na rĩrĩ, Jethero, ũrĩa warĩ mũthĩnjĩri ngai wa Midiani na mũthoni-we wa Musa, akĩigua maũndũ mothe marĩa Ngai eekĩire Musa na andũ ake a Isiraeli, na ũrĩa Jehova aarutire andũ a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri.
2 Pea toʻo ʻe Setelo, ko e tamai ʻi he fono kia Mōsese, ʻa Sipola ko e mali ʻo Mōsese, hili ʻene fekau ke ʻalu ia;
Thuutha wa Musa gũcookia mũtumia wake Zipora, mũthoni-we Jethero nĩamwamũkĩrire,
3 Mo ʻene ongo tama: ko e tokotaha ʻi ai naʻe hingoa ko Kesomi; he naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻaku nofo ko e muli ʻi he fonua kehe:
hamwe na ariũ ake eerĩ. Mũriũ ũmwe eetagwo Gerishomu, nĩgũkorwo Musa oigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩnduĩkĩte mũgeni bũrũri-inĩ wene”;
4 Pea ko hono hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko ʻEliesa; he naʻe pehē ʻe ia, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku tamai, ko hoku tokoni, pea naʻa ne fakamoʻui au mei he heletā ʻa Felo:”
mũriũ ũcio ũngĩ eetagwo Eliezeri, nĩgũkorwo oigire atĩrĩ, “Ngai wa baba nĩwe warĩ mũteithia wakwa; nĩahonokirie kuuma rũhiũ-inĩ rwa Firaũni.”
5 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Setelo, ko e tamai ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese, mo hono ongo foha, mo hono mali kia Mōsese ʻi he toafa, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻapitanga ai ʻi he moʻunga ʻoe ʻOtua:
Jethero, mũthoni-we wa Musa, hamwe na mũtumia wa Musa na ariũ ake, magĩũka kũrĩ we kũu werũ-inĩ, kũrĩa aambĩte hema hakuhĩ na kĩrĩma kĩa Ngai.
6 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kia Mōsese, “Ko au Setelo ko hoʻo tamai ʻi he fono, kuo u haʻu kiate koe, mo ho mali, mo ʻene ongo tama mo ia.”
Jethero nĩamũtũmanĩire akoiga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ, mũthoni-guo Jethero, nĩndĩrooka kũrĩ we tũrĩ na mũtumia waku na ariũ aku eerĩ.”
7 Pea naʻe ʻalu kituaʻā ʻa Mōsese ke fakafetaulaki ki heʻene tamai ʻi he fono, ʻo ne fakaʻapaʻapa ki ai, mo ʻuma kiate ia pea fefehuʻiʻaki ʻakinaua ki heʻena lelei pea naʻa nau haʻu ki he fale fehikitaki.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩkiumagara agatũnge mũthoni-we, akĩinamĩrĩra, akĩmũmumunya. Makĩgeithania, na magĩcooka magĩtoonya hema thĩinĩ.
8 Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe Mōsese ki heʻene tamai ʻi he fono, ʻaia kotoa pē kuo fai ʻe Sihova kia Felo, pea ki he kakai ʻIsipite koeʻuhi ko ʻIsileli, pea mo e mamahi kotoa pē kuo tō kiate kinautolu ʻi he hala, pea mo e fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova.
Musa akĩhe mũthoni-we ũhoro wothe wa ũrĩa Jehova eekire Firaũni na andũ a Misiri nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Isiraeli na, akĩmwĩra mathĩĩna mothe marĩa moonete rũgendo-inĩ, na ũrĩa Jehova aamahonoketie.
9 Pea naʻe fiefia ʻa Setelo ʻi he ngaahi angalelei kotoa pē ʻaia kuo fai ʻe Sihova ki ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻa ne fakamoʻui mei he nima ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite.
Jethero nĩakenirio nĩ kũigua maũndũ macio mothe mega marĩa Jehova eekĩire Isiraeli, nĩ ũndũ wa kũhonokia andũ a Isiraeli kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa andũ a Misiri.
10 Pea pehē ʻe Setelo, “Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia kuo ne fakahaofi ʻakimoutolu mei he nima ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite, pea mei he nima ʻo Felo, pea kuo ne fakahaofi ʻae kakai mei he nima ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite.
Jethero akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova arogoocwo, ũrĩa wamũteithũrire kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa andũ a Misiri na gwa Firaũni, na agĩteithũra andũ kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa andũ a Misiri.
11 Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou ʻilo ai ʻoku lahi ʻa Sihova ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē: koeʻuhi ʻi he meʻa ko ia naʻa nau fai fakafiefielahi ai, naʻe māʻolunga lahi ia ʻiate kinautolu.”
Rĩu niĩ nĩmenyete atĩ Jehova nĩ mũnene gũkĩra ngai iria ingĩ ciothe, nĩgũkorwo ũguo nĩguo eekire arĩa maahatĩrĩirie Isiraeli metĩĩte.”
12 Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Setelo ko e tamai ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese, ʻae feilaulau tutu mo e ngaahi feilaulau ki he ʻOtua: pea naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻElone mo e kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ke nau kai mā mo e tamai ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jethero, mũthoni-we wa Musa, akĩrehe maruta ma njino na magongona mangĩ ma kũrutĩra Ngai, nake Harũni agĩũka marĩ na athuuri othe a Isiraeli nĩguo marĩĩanĩre irio na mũthoni-we wa Musa, marĩ mbere ya Ngai.
13 Pea pongipongi ai pea pehē, naʻe nofo ʻa Mōsese ke fakamaauʻi ʻae kakai: pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae kakai ʻo ofi kia Mōsese mei he pongipongi ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ Musa agĩikarĩra gĩtĩ nĩguo atuithanie andũ ciira, nao andũ makĩrũgama mamũthiũrũrũkĩirie kuuma rũciinĩ nginya o hwaĩ-inĩ.
14 Pea kuo mamata ʻae tamai ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ki he kakai, naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā ʻae meʻa ni ʻoku ke fai ki he kakai ni? Ko e hā ʻoku ke nofo tokotaha ai pe, pea tuʻu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo ofi kiate koe mei he pongipongi ki he efiafi?”
Rĩrĩa mũthoni-we onire wĩra ũrĩa wothe Musa aarutagĩra andũ, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ wĩra ũrĩkũ ũyũ ũrarutĩra andũ aya? Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma ũrute wĩra wa gũtuithania ciira ũrĩ o wiki, nao andũ aya othe matindage marũngiĩ magũthiũrũrũkĩirie kuuma rũciinĩ nginya o hwaĩ-inĩ?”
15 Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese ki heʻene tamai ʻi he fono, “Koeʻuhi ʻoku haʻu ʻae kakai ke fehuʻi kiate au ki he ʻOtua;
Musa akĩmũcookeria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tondũ andũ aya marokaga kũrĩ niĩ nĩguo mamenye wendi wa Ngai.
16 ‌ʻOka ai haʻanau meʻa, ʻoku nau haʻu kiate au; peau fakamaau ki he tangata mo e tangata, pea u fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻae ʻOtua, mo ʻene ngaahi fono.”
Rĩrĩa rĩothe marĩ na ũndũ matekũiguanĩra, ũrehagwo kũrĩ niĩ, na niĩ ngamatuithania na ngamamenyithia uuge wa Ngai na mawatho make.”
17 Pea naʻe lea ʻae tamai ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa ni ʻoku ke fai ʻoku ʻikai lelei.
Mũthoni-we wa Musa akĩmũcookeria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa ũreka ti wega.
18 He te ke fakaʻaʻau ʻo ʻosi moʻoni koe, ʻa koe mo e kakai ni ʻoku ʻiate koe: he ʻoku mamafa lahi ʻaupito ʻae meʻa ni kiate koe: ʻoku ʻikai te ke mafai ia ʻe koe tokotaha pe.
Wee, na andũ aya marooka kũrĩ we nĩmũkwĩnogia na mĩnoga. Wĩra ũyũ nĩ mũritũ mũno makĩria harĩwe; ndũngĩũhota ũrĩ wiki.
19 Ko eni, fanongo ki hoku leʻo, pea te u akonakiʻi koe, pea ʻe ʻiate koe ʻae ʻOtua: Ke ke ʻi he kakai ko e fehokotakiʻanga mo e ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ke ʻomi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ki he ʻOtua;
Rĩu-rĩ, ta thikĩrĩria ngũtaare, na Ngai aroikara nawe. Wee tuĩka mũtũmwo wa Ngai kũrĩ andũ aya, na ũkamũtwaragĩra maũndũ marĩa matekũiguanĩra.
20 Pea te ke ekinaki ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo e ngaahi fono, pea ke fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae hala ʻoku totonu ke nau ʻalu ai, mo e ngaahi ngāue ke nau fai,
Marute uuge wa Ngai na mawatho make, na ũmoonie njĩra njega ya mũtũũrĩre na mawĩra marĩa magĩrĩire kũruta.
21 Pea ko eni ke ke fili mei he kakai ʻae kau tangata ʻoku mafai, ʻoku manavahē ki he ʻOtua, ko e kau tangata ʻoe moʻoni, ʻoku fehiʻa ki he manumanu; pea ke fakanofo ʻakinautolu ke nau pule ki he ngaahi toko afe, mo pule ki he ngaahi toko teau, mo pule ki he ngaahi nimangofulu, mo pule ki he ngaahi hongofulu:
No rĩrĩ, thuura andũ marĩ na ũhoti kuuma andũ-inĩ aya, andũ etigĩri Ngai, na andũ ehokeku arĩa mathũire kwamũkĩra ihaki, na ũmatue anene a kũrũgamagĩrĩra ikundi cia ngiri, na ikundi cia magana, na ikundi cia mĩrongo ĩtano, na ikundi cia makũmi.
22 Pea tuku ke nau fakamaau ʻae kakai ʻi he ngaahi kuonga kotoa pē: pea ʻe pehē, ʻilonga ʻae meʻa lahi kotoa pē, ke nau ʻomi ia kiate koe, ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku siʻi, ke nau fakamaauʻi: ko ia ʻe hoko ʻo faingofua ai kiate koe, pea te nau fai mo koe ke fua ʻae kavenga.
Reke matuĩke a gũtuithania andũ aya ciira mahinda mothe, no makũrehagĩre maciira marĩa maritũ; marĩa mahũthũ makamatuithanagia arĩ o. Ũndũ ũcio nĩũgũkũhũthĩria mũrigo, tondũ nĩmarĩgayanaga nawe.
23 Pea kapau te ke fai ʻae meʻa ni, pea fekau pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kiate koe, te ke toki mafai ke tolonga, ai, pea ʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai ni kotoa pē ki honau potu ʻi he fiemālie.”
Ũngĩka ũguo na Ngai agwathe, nĩũrĩhotaga gwĩtiiria mĩnoga, na andũ aya othe marĩinũkaga maiganĩire.”
24 Pea naʻe tokanga ʻa Mōsese ki he leʻo ʻo ʻene tamai ʻi he fono, ʻo ne fai ʻaia kotoa pē naʻa ne lea ki ai.
Musa nĩathikĩrĩirie mũthoni-we na agĩĩka ũrĩa wothe aamũtaarire.
25 Pea naʻe fili ʻe Mōsese ʻae kau tangata mafai mei ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻo ne fakanofo ʻakinautolu ko e ʻulu ʻoe kakai, ko e kau pule ki he ngaahi toko afe, mo e kau pule ki he ngaahi toko teau, ko e kau pule ki he ngaahi toko nimangofulu, mo e kau pule ki he ngaahi hongofulu.
Agĩthuura andũ marĩ na ũhoti kuuma Isiraeli guothe, akĩmatua atongoria a andũ acio; akĩmatua anene a ikundi cia ngiri, na ikundi cia magana, na ikundi cia mĩrongo ĩtano, na ikundi cia makũmi.
26 Pea naʻe fakamaau ʻae kakai ʻi he ngaahi faʻahitaʻu kotoa pē; naʻa nau ʻomi kia Mōsese ʻae ngaahi meʻa faingataʻa, ka ko e ngaahi meʻa siʻi naʻe fakamaau ʻekinautolu.
Magĩtuĩka a gũtuithanagia andũ ciira hĩndĩ ciothe. Maciira marĩa maritũ magatwarĩra Musa, no marĩa mahũthũ magatuithanagia arĩ o.
27 Pea naʻe tuku ʻe Mōsese ʻene tamai ʻi he fono ke ne ʻalu; pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi hono hala ki hono fonua.
Musa agĩcooka akiugĩra mũthoni-we ũhoro, nake Jethero agĩcooka bũrũri wake mwene.
