Exodus 18
1 And Jithro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, that the Lord had brought forth Israel out of Egypt.
Ni Jetro a padi dagiti Midian, a katugangan a lalaki ni Moises ket nangngegna amin nga inaramid ti Dios para kenni Moises ken para iti Israel a tattaona. Nangngegna nga inruar ni Yahweh ti Israel manipud iti Egipto.
2 Then took Jithro, the father-in-law of Moses, Zipporah, the wife of Moses, after he had sent her back,
Inkuyog ni Jetro, a katugangan ni Moises, ni Sipora nga asawa ni Moises, kalpasan nga imbaonna isuna idiay balayda,
3 And her two sons; of whom the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been a stranger in a foreign land:
ken dagiti dua nga annakna a lallaki; ti nagan ti maysa ket Gersom, ta kinuna ni Moises, “Nagbalinak a ganggannaet iti sabali a daga.”
4 And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.
Ti nagan ti maysa ket Eliezer, ta kinuna ni Moises, “Ti Dios dagiti kapuonak ti katulongak. Inispalnak manipud iti kampilan ni Faraon.”
5 And Jithro, the father-in-law of Moses, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses, unto the wilderness, where he was encamped at the mount of God.
Napan kenni Moises ni Jetro a katuganganna, kaduana dagiti putot a lallaki ni Moises ken ti asawana idiay let-ang a nagkampoanna idiay bantay ti Dios.
6 And he sent word unto Moses, I thy father-in-law Jithro am coming unto thee, with thy wife, and her two sons with her.
Kinunana kenni Moises, “Siak, ti katugangam a ni Jetro, ket umayak kenka a kaduak ti asawam ken dagiti dua a putotmo a lallaki.”
7 And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed himself, and kissed him; and they asked each other after their welfare; and they went into the tent.
Rimmuar ni Moises a nangsabat iti katuganganna, nagdumog ken inagkanna isuna. Nagkinnomustada maipanggep iti kasasaad ti tunggal maysa ket sada simrek iti tolda.
8 And Moses told his father-in-law all which the Lord had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians on account of Israel, all the hardship which had come upon them by the way, and how the Lord had delivered them.
Imbaga ni Moises iti katuganganna ti amin nga inaramid ni Yahweh kenni Faraon ken kadagiti Egipcio para iti pagimbagan ti Israel, maipanggep kadagiti amin a rigrigat a napadtengda kabayatan ti kaaddada iti dalan, ken no kasano nga inispal ida ni Yahweh.
9 And Jithro rejoiced over all the goodness which the Lord had done to Israel, that he had delivered it out of the hand of the Egyptians.
Nagrag-o ni Jetro iti amin a nasayaat nga inaramid ni Yahweh iti Israel, iti panangispalna kadakuada manipud iti ima dagiti Egipcio.
10 And Jithro said, Blessed be the Lord, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
Kinuna ni Jetro, “Maidaydayaw koma ni Yahweh, ta inispalnakayo manipud iti ima dagiti Egipcio ken iti ima ni Faraon, ken winayawayaanna dagiti tattao manipud iti panangtengngelda.
11 Now I know that the Eternal is great above all gods; for by the very thing wherein they sinned presumptuously was punishment brought upon them.
Ita, ammok a nain-indaklan ni Yahweh ngem dagiti amin a didiosen, gapu ta idi trinato dagiti Egipcio dagiti Israelita a sitatangsit, inispal ti Dios dagiti tattaona.”
12 And Jithro, the father-in-law of Moses, offered a burnt-offering and sacrifices unto God; and Aaron came, with all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with the father-in-law of Moses, before God.
Nangiyeg ni Jetro, a katugangan ni Moises iti daton a maipuor amin ken datdaton a maipaay iti Dios. Immay ni Aaron ken dagiti amin a panglakayen ti Israel a mangan iti sangoanan ni Yahweh a kaduada ti katugangan ni Moises.
13 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people; and the people stood around Moses from the morning unto the evening.
Iti simmaruno nga aldaw, nagtugaw ni Moises tapno mangukom kadagiti tattao. Nagtakder dagiti tattao iti aglawlawna manipud bigat agingga iti rabii.
14 And the father-in-law of Moses saw all that he did to the people; and he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people standeth around thee from morning until evening?
Idi nakita ti katugangan ni Moises amin nga inaramidna para kadagiti tattao, kinunana, “Ania daytoy nga ar-aramidem kadagiti tattao? Apay nga agtugtugawka nga agmaymaysa ket agtaktakder iti aglawlawmo dagiti amin a tattao manipud iti bigat agingga iti rabii?”
15 And Moses said unto his father-in-law, Because the people cometh unto me to inquire of God.
Kinuna ni Moises iti katuganganna, “Umay kaniak dagiti tattao a dumawat iti panangiwanwan ti Dios.
16 When they have a matter of dispute, they come unto me; and I judge between one and the other, and I make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.
No addaanda iti saan a pagkikinnaawatan, umayda kaniak. Mangngeddengak iti nagbaetan dagiti tattao, ken isursurok kadakuada ti maipanggep kadagiti alagaden ken linteg ti Dios.”
17 And the father-in-law of Moses said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.
Kinuna ti katugangan ni Moises kenkuana, “Saan a nasayaat ti ar-aramidem.
18 Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee; for the thing is too heavy for thee; thou wilt not be able to perform it by thyself alone.
Awan dua-dua a maibusto ti pigsam ken dagiti tattao nga umay kenka, gapu ta nadagsen unay a trabaho daytoy para kenka. Saanmo a maaramid daytoy a siksika.
19 Now hearken unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and may God be with thee, Be thou for the people a mediator with God, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God.
Dinggennak. Balakadanka ket makikaaddanto ti Dios kenka gapu ta sika ti mangibagbagi kadagiti tattao ti Dios, ken sika ti mangiyum-uman kenkuana kadagiti saanda a pagkikinnaawatan.
20 And thou shalt explain to them the statutes and the laws; and thou shalt make them know the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
Masapul nga isurom kadakuada dagiti alagaden ken lintegna. Masapul nga ipakitam kadakuada ti dalan a surotenda iti panagbiagda ken ti trabaho nga aramidenda.
21 Moreover, thou shalt select out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating [their own] gain; and place these over them, as rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
Maysa pay, nasken a mangpilika kadagiti makabael a lallaki manipud kadagiti amin a tattao, lallaki a mangraraem iti Dios, lallaki a napudno ken manggurgura iti saan a nalinteg a panangtagikua. Masapul a pagturayem ida kadagiti tattao, nga agbalin a mangidaulo a mangimaton kadagiti sagsasangaribu, sagsasangagasut, saglilimapulo ken sagsasangapulo.
22 And let them judge the people at all times; and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge themselves: so shall it be easier for thee, when they shall bear with thee.
Isuda ti mangukom kadagiti tattao iti amin a kadawyan a parikut, ngem iyegda kenka dagiti naririgat a parikut. No maipapan kadagiti amin a babassit a parikut, mabalinda nga ukomen dagidiay nga is-isuda. Iti dayta a wagas, nalaklakanto para kenka, ken makipag-baklaydanto kenka iti dadagsen.
23 If thou wilt do this thing, and God commandeth it thee, then wilt thou be able to endure; and also the whole of this people will come to its place in peace.
No aramidem daytoy, ken no isu't bilin ti Dios nga aramidem, ket maibturamto, ken makaawidto dagiti amin a tattao a napnapnek.”
24 And Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said.
Dimngeg ngarud ni Moises kadagiti sao ti katuganganna a lalaki ken inaramidna ti amin nga imbaga daytoy.
25 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and placed them as heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
Nangpili ni Moises kadagiti makabael a lallaki manipud iti amin nga Israel ket pinagbalinna ida a mangidadaulo kadagiti amin a tattao, mangidadaulo kadagiti sagsasangaribu, sagsasangagasut, saglilimapulo, ken sagsasangapulo.
26 And they judged the people at all times; any difficult cause they brought unto Moses, but every small cause they judged themselves.
Inukomda dagiti tattao kadagiti gagangay a pasamak. Inyegda kenni Moises dagiti naririgat a parikut, ngem rinisutda nga is-isuda dagiti amin a babassit a parikut.
27 And Moses dismissed his father-in-law; and he went his way unto his own land.
Kalpasanna, pinalubosan ni Moises a pumanaw ti katuganganna a lalaki, ket nagsubli ni Jetro iti bukodna a daga.
