World English 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 Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel his people, 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,
2Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, received Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her away,
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:
3and her two sons. The name of one son was Gershom, for Moses said, “I have lived as 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 name of the other was Eliezer, for he said, “My father’s God was my help and delivered me from Pharaoh’s sword.”
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:
5Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, came with Moses’ sons and his wife to Moses into the wilderness 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 said to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, have come to you with your wife, and her two sons with her.”
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.
7Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed and kissed him. They asked each other of their welfare, and they came 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.
8Moses told his father-in-law all that the LORD had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, all the hardships that had come on them on the way, and how the LORD 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.
9Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, in that he had delivered them out of 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 said, “Blessed be the LORD, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh; who has delivered the people from under 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 gods because of the way that they treated people arrogantly.”
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.
12Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God. Aaron came with all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses’ father-in-law before 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.
13On the next day, Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from the morning to the 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 Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he said, “What is this thing that you do for the people? Why do you sit alone, and all the people stand around you from morning to 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:
15Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to inquire of God.
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.
16When they have a matter, they come to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor, and I make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.”
17I mai la ka makuahonowaikane o Mose ia ia, Aole pono ka mea au e hana nei.
17Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “The thing that you do 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.
18You will surely wear away, both you, and this people that is with you; for the thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to perform it yourself 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:
19Listen now to my voice. I will give you counsel, and God be with you. You represent the people before God, and bring the causes to God.
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.
20You shall teach them the statutes and the laws, and shall show them the way in which they must walk, and the work that 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:
21Moreover you shall provide out of all the people able men which fear God: men of truth, hating unjust gain; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers 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.
22Let them judge the people at all times. It shall be that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they shall judge themselves. So shall it be easier for you, and they shall share the load 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 will do this thing, and God commands you so, then you will be able to endure, and all these people also will go to their place 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.
24So Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had 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.
25Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers 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.
26They judged the people at all times. They brought the hard cases to Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
27Kuu aku la o Mose i kona makuahonowaikane: a hoi aku la i kona aina iho.
27Moses let his father-in-law depart, and he went his way into his own land.
