1Jethro, papa tumun mutan kial Moses ac el mwet tol lun Midian, el tuh lohng ke ma nukewa ma God El oru kacl Moses ac ke mwet lal mwet Israel ke LEUM GOD El kololosla liki acn Egypt.
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.
2Ouinge Jethro el tuku nu yorol Moses, ac usalu Zipporah, mutan kial Moses su Moses el tuh folokunulla,
2Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, received Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her away,
3oayapa Gershom ac Eliezer, wen luo natul Zipporah. (Moses el tuh fahk, “Nga sie mwetsac in sie pacna facl,” pa oru el sang inen sie wen natul ah Gershom.
3and her two sons. The name of one son was Gershom, for Moses said, “I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land”.
4El tuh oayapa fahk, “God lun papa tumuk El kasreyu moliyula ngan tia anwuki sin tokosra Egypt,” pa oru el sang inen tulik se ngia Eliezer.)
4The name of the other was Eliezer, for he said, “My father’s God was my help and delivered me from Pharaoh’s sword.”
5Jethro el tuku, us mutan kial Moses ac wen luo natul nu yen mwesis, yen Moses el mutangan aktuktuk we ke eol mutal.
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.
6El supwala kas nu sel Moses lah elos ac tuku,
6He said to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, have come to you with your wife, and her two sons with her.”
7ouinge Moses el illa som in osun nu sel, pasr ye mutal ac ngok mutal. Eltal siyuk sin sie sin sie lah moul laltal fuka, na eltal utyak nu in lohm nuknuk sel Moses.
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.
8Moses el fahkang nu sel Jethro ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD El tuh oru nu sin tokosra ac nu sin mwet Egypt in pwanang moliyukla mwet Israel. El oayapa fahk nu sel ke ma upa nukewa ma sikyak nu selos inkanek lalos, ac fuka LEUM GOD El molelosla.
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.
9Ke Jethro el lohng tari ma inge nukewa, el engan
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.
10ac fahk, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD , su molikowosla liki mwet Egypt ac tokosra lalos! Kaksakin LEUM GOD , su molela mwet lal liki moul in mwet kohs!
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.
11Inge nga etu lah LEUM GOD El fulat liki god nukewa, mweyen El molela mwet Israel ke pacl mwet Egypt uh oru koluk nu selos ke sripen angyang lun insialos.”
11Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods because of the way that they treated people arrogantly.”
12Na Jethro el use soko kosro in fonna kisakinyuk in mwe kisa firir, wi pac mwe kisa saya in kisakinyuk nu sin LEUM GOD . Ac Aaron ac mwet kol lun Israel nukewa welul som mongo ke mwe mongo mutal inge ye mutun God.
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.
13Ke len tok ah Moses el kafofo ke aksuwosye amei inmasrlon mwet uh, su tu ye mutal ke lotutang nwe ke fongeni.
13On the next day, Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from the morning to the evening.
14Ke Jethro el liye ma nukewa Moses el oru nu sin mwet uh, el siyuk, “Meawin kom oru nu sin mwet uh inge? Efu ku kom mukena oru ma inge, ke mwet uh tu inge lotutang nwe ke fongeni soano pacl lalos yurum?”
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?”
15Moses el topuk, “Mweyen mwet uh tuku nu yuruk in siyuk ke ma lungse lun God.
15Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to inquire of God.
16Pacl se mwet luo ac ameila, eltal ac tuku nu yuruk, ac nga ac wotela lah su seltal pwaye, ac nga aketeya ma sap ac oakwuk lun God nu seltal.”
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.”
17Na Jethro el fahk, “Tia pa ingan ma kom ac oru.
17Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “The thing that you do is not good.
18Kom sifacna akmunasyekomla ac oayapa mwet lom inge. Orekma se inge arulana toasr nu sum in mukena oru.
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.
19Inge, porongo kas in kasru luk nu sum, ac God El ac fah wi kom. Fal kom in aol mwet uh ye mutun God, ac sang mwe elya lalos nu sel.
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.
20Kom enenu in lotelos ma sap lun God, ac aketeya nu selos lah elos ac moul fuka, ac mea fal elos in oru.
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.
21Tusruktu, kom enenu in sulela kutu mwet ma fal ac pah in nunak tuh elos in mwet kol lun mwet uh — mwet kol nu fin tausin, fin foko, fin lumngaul ac fin singoul. Mwet inge elos in mwet sangeng sin God, su ku in lulalfongiyuk ac tia wela eyeinse lun mwet.
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.
22Lela elos in kulansap oana mwet nununku nu sin mwet ma elos leum fac uh ke pacl nukewa. Elos fah use ma upa nukewa nu yurum, tusruktu elos ku in sifacna wotela elya srisrik nukewa uh. Fin ouinge, ac fisrasr nu sum ke elos kasrekom in sruhk orekma toasr kunom inge.
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.
23Kom fin oru ouinge, oana ma God El sapkin, kom ac fah tia totola, ac mwet inge nukewa ac ku in folok nu acn selos ke inse misla mweyen elya lalos uh akwoyeyukla.”
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.”
24Moses el insese nu ke kas in kasru lal Jethro
24So Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said.
25ac el sulela mwet ma fal ac pah in nunak sin mwet Israel nukewa tuh elos in mwet kol fin tausin, foko, lumngaul, ac singoul.
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.
26In pacl sac fahla, mwet inge elos oru orekma lun mwet nununku nu sin mwet Israel. Ma yohk ac upa elos us nu yorol Moses, ac elos sifacna wotela amei srisrik.
26They judged the people at all times. They brought the hard cases to Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
27Na Moses el wilkas nu sel Jethro, ac Jethro el folokla nu yen sel ah.
27Moses let his father-in-law depart, and he went his way into his own land.
