Berean Standard Bible
1LOHE ae la o Ietero, ke kahuna o Midiana, ka makuahonowaikane o Mose, i na mea a pau a ke Akua i hana mai ai ia Mose, a me kona poe kanaka o ka Iseraela i ko Iehova lawe ana mai i ka Iseraela mai loko mai o Aigupita;
1Now Moses’ father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, heard about all that God had done for Moses and His people Israel, and how the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt.
2Alaila kai mai la o Ietero, ka makuahonowaikane o Mose ia Zipora i ka wahine a Mose, mahope o kona hoihoi ana aku ia ia,
2After Moses had sent back his wife Zipporah, his father-in-law Jethro had received her,
3A me na keiki kane ana elua; o Geresona ka inoa o kekahi; no ka mea, ua olelo ia, He malihini au ma ka aina e:
3along with her two sons. One son was named Gershom, for Moses had said, “I have been a foreigner in a foreign land.”
4A o ka inoa o kekahi, o Eliezera; no ka mea, o ke Akua o ko'u makua, i kona kokua ana mai ia'u, hoola mai ia ia'u, mai ka pahikaua mai o Parao;
4The other son was named Eliezer, for Moses had said, “The God of my father was my helper and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.”
5Hele mai la io Mose la o Ietero, ka makuahonowaikane o Mose, a me kana mau keikikane, a me kana wahine, ma ka waonahele, i kahi ana i hoomoana ai ma ka mauna o ke Akua:
5Moses’ father-in-law Jethro, along with Moses’ wife and sons, came to him in the desert, where he was encamped at the mountain of God.
6Olelo mai la ia ia Mose, Owau no Ietero, kou makuahonowaikane, ua hele mai au i ou nei a me kau wahine, a me kau mau keikikane elua.
6He sent word to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons.”
7Hele aku la o Mose e halawai me kona makuahonowaikane, a kulou iho la ia, a honi aku la ia ia: a ninau kekahi i kekahi, i ka maikai o ko laua noho ana; a komo ae la laua iloko o ka halelewa.
7So Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and bowed down and kissed him. They greeted each other and went into the tent.
8Hai ae la o Mose i kona makuahonowaikane, i na mea a pau a Iehova i hana mai ai ia Parao, a i ko Aigupita, no ka Iseraela, a me ka pilikia a pau i loaa ia lakou ma ke alanui, a me ka hoopakele ana o Iehova ia lakou.
8Then Moses recounted to his father-in-law all that the LORD had done to Pharaoh and the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, all the hardships they had encountered along the way, and how the LORD had delivered them.
9Olioli iho la o Ietero no na mea raaikai a pau a Iehova i hana mai ai i ka Iseraela, i ka poe ana i hoopakele ai, mai ka lima mai o ko Aigupita.
9And Jethro rejoiced over all the good things the LORD had done for Israel, whom He had rescued from the hand of the Egyptians.
10I ae la o Ietero, E hoomaikaiia o Iehova, o ka mea i hoopakele ia oukou mai ka lima mai o ko Aigupita, a me ka lima o Parao, o ka mea i hoopakele i kanaka, mailalo mai o ka lima o ko Aigupita.
10Jethro declared, “Blessed be the LORD, who has delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and of Pharaoh, and who has delivered the people from the hand of the Egyptians.
11Ano, ua ike au i ka oi ana o ko Iehova mana mamua o ko na akua a pau: no ka mea, ma kahi a lakou i kookiekie ai, aia no ia maluna o lakou.
11Now I know that the LORD is greater than all other gods, for He did this when they treated Israel with arrogance.”
12Lawe iho la o Ietero, ka makuahonowaikane o Mose, i mohaikuni, a me na alana no ke Akua, a hele mai la o Aarona, a me na lunakahiko a pau o ka Iseraela, e ai pu ai me ka makuahonowaikane o Mose, imua o ke Akua.
12Then Moses’ father-in-law Jethro brought a burnt offering and sacrifices to God, and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat bread with Moses’ father-in-law in the presence of God.
13A ia la hope iho, noho iho la o Mose e hooponopono i na kanaka; a ku mai la na kanaka imua o Mose, mai ke kakahiaka a ahiahi.
13The next day Moses took his seat to judge the people, and they stood around him from morning until evening.
14A ike ka makuahonowaikane o Mose i na mea a pau ana i hana'i i kanaka; alaila, olelo ae la ia, Heaha keia mea au e hana nei i kanaka? No ke aha la e noho oe, o oe wale no, a ku mai la na kanaka a pau imua ou, mai ke kakahiaka mai a ahiahi?
14When his father-in-law saw all that Moses was doing for the people, he asked, “What is this that you are doing for the people? Why do you sit alone as judge, with all the people standing around you from morning till evening?”
15I aku la o Mose i kona makuahonowaikane, No ka mea, ua hele mai na kanaka io'u nei e ninau i ke Akua:
15“Because the people come to me to inquire of God,” Moses replied.
16Ina loaa ia lakou kekahi mea, hele mai lakou ia'u; a na'u no e hooponopono aku mawaena o ke kanaka, a me. kona hoa; a na'u no e hoike aku ia lakou i ka olelo kupaa a ke Akua, a me kona kanawai.
16“Whenever they have a dispute, it is brought to me to judge between one man and another, and I make known to them the statutes and laws of God.”
17I mai la ka makuahonowaikane o Mose ia ia, Aole pono ka mea au e hana nei.
17But Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “What you are doing is not good.
18E oiaio no, e mae wale oe, o oe, a me keia poe kanaka me oe; no ka mea, ua kaumaha keia mea ia oe; aole hiki ia oe ke hana, o oe wale no.
18Surely you and these people with you will wear yourselves out, because the task is too heavy for you. You cannot handle it alone.
19E hoolohe mai hoi oe i ko'u leo, a e ao aku au ia oe, a o ke Akua pu kekahi me oe; o oe no ko na kanaka mea ma ke Akua, e hai aku i na mea imua o ke Akua:
19Now listen to me; I will give you some advice, and may God be with you. You must be the people’s representative before God and bring their causes to Him.
20A e ao aku oe ia lakou i na oihana a me na kanawai, a e hoike aku oe ia lakou i ke ala e hele ai lakou, a me ka hana e hana'i lakou.
20Teach them the statutes and laws, and show them the way to live and the work they must do.
21Eia hoi kekahi, e hoomakaukau oe i poe maiau o na kanaka, he poe makau i ke Akua, he poe kanaka oiaio, a huhu i ka waiwai alunu; a e hoonoho ia lakou maluna o kanaka, i luna lakou no na tausani, i luna no hoi no na haneri, a i luna no na kanalima, a i luna no na umi:
21Furthermore, select capable men from among the people—God-fearing, trustworthy men who are averse to dishonest gain. Appoint them over the people as leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.
22Na lakou no e hooponopono i kanaka i na wa a pau; a o na mea nui a pau, na lakou e lawe mai ia oe, a o na mea liilii, na lakou ia e hooponopono: pela oe e mama ai, a na lakou e amo pu me oe.
22Have these men judge the people at all times. Then they can bring you any major issue, but all minor cases they can judge on their own, so that your load may be lightened as they share it with you.
23Ina e hana mai oe i keia mea, a kauoha mai ke Akua ia oe pela, alaila e hiki ia oe ka mau loa ana, a e hele no hoi keia poe kanaka a pau i ko lakou wahi me ka malumaluhia.
23If you follow this advice and God so directs you, then you will be able to endure, and all these people can go home in peace.”
24Hoolohe ae la o Mose i ka leo o kona makuahonowaikane, a hana iho la ia i na mea a pau ana i olelo ai.
24Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything he said.
25Wae aku la o Mose i kanaka maiau o ka Iseraela a pau, a hoolilo iho la ia lakou i mau poo maluna o kanaka, na luna no na tausani, na luna no na haneri, na luna no na kanalima, a me na luna no na umi.
25So Moses chose capable men from all Israel and made them heads over the people as leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.
26Na lakou i hooponopono i kanaka i na wa a pau; a o na mea nui ka lakou i lawe mai ai ia Mose, a na lakou no i hooponopono na mea liilii a pau.
26And they judged the people at all times; they would bring the difficult cases to Moses, but any minor issue they would judge themselves.
27Kuu aku la o Mose i kona makuahonowaikane: a hoi aku la i kona aina iho.
27Then Moses sent his father-in-law on his way, and Jethro returned to his own land.
