Qığeepç'iy 18
1 Midyanaaşine kaahinık'le, Mısayne abatteyk'le İtronuk'le Allahee Mısayneyiy İzrailybışdemee hı'iyn karbıyiy Rəbbee manbı Misirğançe qığav'uy g'iyxhe.
Jethro, who was the priest for the Midian people-group, and who was also Moses’/my father-in-law, heard about all that God had done for the Israeli people. He heard about how Yahweh had brought them out of Egypt.
2 Mısayne abattee İtronee Mısayna xhunaşşe Tsipporayiy q'ööle uşax yı'q'əlqa qıkkeka. Mısee ögiylycarniy cuna xhunaşşe dekkıne k'anyaqa g'axiyvu. Mısee «Zı menne cigee, merna xhinne ıxhava» uvhu, dixbışde sang'un do Gerşomniy (menne cigayna) gixhxhı.
Moses/I had [previously] sent his/my wife Zipporah [back home when he/I was returning to Egypt]. But now Jethro came to him/me,
bringing Zipporah and their/our two sons. One son was named Gershom, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘foreigner’], because he/I had said, “I have been a foreigner living in another land.”
4 «Dekkee ı'bəədat hı'iyne Allahee zas kumag hı'ı, fironne g'ılıncıke g'attixhan hı'ıva» uvhu, mansang'unud do Eliyezerniy (Allahee zas kumag ha'a) gixhxhı.
Her other son was named Eliezer, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘God helps me’], because [he/I] had said “God, whom my father [worshiped], has helped me and saved [me] from being killed [MTY] by the king [of Egypt].”
5 Mısayna abattey İtron, dixbışikayiy xhunaşşeyka sacigee sahreeqa Mısa eyxhene Allahne suvaysqa arayle.
While Moses/I was camped [with the Israeli people] in the desert [near Sinai], God’s sacred/holy mountain, Jethro came to him/me, bringing along Moses’/my wife and our [two] sons.
6 İtronee Mısayk'le eyhecenva insan g'ıxele: – Zı yiğna abattey İtron xhunaşşeykayiy q'öne yiğne duxayka vasqa ı'qqə vor.
Jethro had sent a message to Moses/me, “I, your father-in-law, Jethro, am coming to see you, bringing along your wife and your two sons!”
7 Mısa abbateysqa qığeç'u mang'une ögiyl k'yorzul, ubba ha'a. Sana-sang'uke qidghınbı ha'a manbı çadıreeqa ikkebaç'e.
So Moses/I went out of the campsite to meet his/my father-in-law. He/I bowed before him, and kissed him [on the cheek]. (They both/We) asked each other, “Have you been healthy?” Then they/we went into [Moses’/my] tent.
8 Mısee abatteys, Rəbbee İzrailybışdemee fironulqayiy Misirbışilqa alli'iyn yiğbı, co yəqqə opxhunna əq'üba, sayib Rəbbee co nəxübiy g'attivxhan hav'uva yuşan ha'a.
Moses/I told Jethro everything that Yahweh had done to the king and all the [other] people in Egypt for the sake of the Israeli people. He/I also told him about the troubles/problems they/we had experienced on the way, and how Yahweh had helped them/us.
9 İtron Rəbbee İzrailybışis yugvalla hav'uva, manbı Misirbışde xılençe g'attivxhan hav'uva geer şadexhena.
Jethro rejoiced when he heard all that Yahweh had done for the Israeli people.
10 Mang'vee eyhen: – Şu fironneyiy Misirbışde xılençe g'attivxhan hav'une Rəbbis şukur vuxhena!
He said, “Praise Yahweh, who has rescued you from the powerful [MTY] Egyptian king and his army!
11 Həşde zak'le ats'an Rəbb manisa allahaaşile nimeexheyir xərra vor. Mang'vee millet hooyç'an-g'oyç'anne Misirbışde xılençe g'attixhan hı'ı.
Now I realize that Yahweh is greater than all other gods, because he rescued you all from the power [MTY] of the proud Egyptians when [they] were causing you [to suffer].”
12 Qiyğa Mısayne abattee İtronee, Allahıs medın-medın q'urbanbı allya'a. Haruniy İzrailybışin ağsaqqalar, Mısaykayiy cune abatteyka sacigee Allahne ögee gıney oxhanas abayle.
Then Jethro sacrificed an animal by burning it completely on the altar [as an offering], and he also offered other sacrifices to God. Aaron and the Israeli elders/leaders went with them/us to eat a sacred meal with Jethro.
13 Qinne yiğıl Mısa milletne məhkamayqa ilyakka. Milletıd miç'eediyle exhalqamee Mısayne hiqiy-alla iliyk'ar ıxha.
The next day, Moses/I sat down at the place where he/I settled disputes among the people. The people were continually bringing their disputes to Moses/me, from morning until evening.
14 Mısayne abatteyk'le mang'vee milletık ha'an g'acumee, eyhen: – Ğu hucoone milletık ha'a? Nya'a ğu sayrena məhkama ha'a, nya'a manimeen millet yiğne hiqiy-alla miç'eediyle exhalqamee iliyk'ar axu?
When Jethro saw everything that Moses/I was doing for the people, he said, “(Why are you doing all this for the people?/You should not be doing all this for the people!) [RHQ] Why are you doing this by yourself, and all the people are crowding around you, from morning until evening, [asking you to make decisions for them] [RHQ]?”
15 Mısee eyhen: – Millet zasqa Allahee eyhen ats'axhxhes adayle.
Moses/I replied, “[I am doing this] because the people keep coming to me to find out what God desires.
16 İnsanar sana-sang'uka parxaçeepxhamee, zasqa abayle. Zınad manbışde neng'uqa nena bınahiyva eyhe. Sayid zı manbışis Allahne g'ayda-q'aanunbışike yuşan ha'a.
When they have a dispute about something, they come to me, and they ask me to decide which of them is right. I also tell them all of God’s laws and instructions.”
17 Abattee Mısayk'le eyhen: – Ğu man qotkuda deşod ha'a.
Jethro said to him/me, “What you are doing is not good [for you or for the people].
18 Ğunar, vasqa abaylenbıb mançike saccu oozaranbı. Sang'unemee mana geeb yı'q'na işib. Vassecab mana iş haa'as vəxəs deş.
You and these people will (wear yourselves out/become exhausted)! This work is too much for one person. You are not able to do it by yourself.
19 Ğu zal yugda k'ırı gyaqqe, zı vak'le həşde sa kar eyhes. Hasre Allahır vaka ixhecen! Allahneyiy milletne yı'q'nena ixhe, milletın nyaabiy dağamiyvalla opxhan, ğu Mang'us yuşan he'e.
Now listen to some good advice [MTY] I will give to you. [If you do what I suggest], God will help you. You should continue to speak to God and tell him about the people’s disputes.
20 Manbışik'le g'ayda-q'aanun, ha'asın işbı, qopkuna yəq haagve.
You should [also] teach the people what God has commanded and instructed you. You should also explain to them how they should conduct their lives, and the things that they should do.
21 Milletıke kar əxən, Allahıle qəvəyq'ənan, cuvabıl ulyoozaran, pılıka alivşes dyooxhen insanar g'əvxe. Manbı aazırıng'us, vəşing'us, xhots'aling'us, yıts'ıng'us ç'ak'ınbı xhinne gyuvxhe.
But in addition, you should choose some [other men to help you]. Choose men who have reverence for God and who will not accept bribes. Appoint some of them to make decisions [for groups of] ten people, [some for groups of] 50 [people], [some for groups of] 100 [people], [and some for groups of] 1,000 [people].
22 Manbışe məhkamabı he'ecen. Cosse ha'as əxən işbı hasre cocad he'ecen, dağamınbıd, dəxənbıd vasqa allecen. Məxüd manbışe vas kumag ha'as, valqa gyooxhana işib k'ıl quvxhes.
Allow them to serve permanently to settle disputes for the people. The difficult matters the people can bring to you; but the matters that are not difficult, they can decide themselves. That will make the work easier for you, as they help you do that work.
23 Ğu məxüd he'eene, Allahısıd man ıkkiykıneene, vasse örxəs əxəsda. Milletıd yik' sibık qı'ı xaaqa siyk'alıy.
If you do that, and [I think that] God is telling you to do it (OR, if God tells you to do it), you will not become exhausted, and all the people will be able to go home feeling satisfied about the decisions, [with their disputes settled quickly”].
24 Mısee abattel k'ırı alixhxhı, mang'vee eyhen xhineyid ha'an.
Moses/I accepted what his/my father-in-law [Jethro] suggested.
25 Mısee İzrailybışde əreençe kar əxənbı g'əvxü, milletıs ç'ak'ınbı xhinne giviyxhe. Manbışike aazırıng'us, vəşing'us, xhots'aling'us, yıts'ıng'us ç'ak'ınbı vooxhe.
Moses/I chose capable men from among the Israeli people.
26 Mane yiğile otçu manbışe milletıs məhkamabıd ha'a ıxha. Manbışe cosse əxən işbı cocad ha'a ıxha, dağamınbı, dəxənbı Mısaysqa adayle ıxha.
They were appointed permanently to make decisions about the people’s disputes. They brought the difficult cases to Moses/me, but they decided the matters that were not difficult by themselves.
27 Qiyğa Mısee cuna abattey yəqqılqa araççe. Abatteyir siyk'alna cune ölkeeqa.
Then Moses/I said goodbye to his/my father-in-law, and Jethro returned home.
