Eksodosy 18
1 Ary efa ren’ i Jetro, mpisorona tao Midiana, rafozan’ i Mosesy, izay rehetra nataon’ Andriamanitra ho an’ i Mosesy sy ny Isiraely olony, dia ny nitondran’ i Jehovah ny Isiraely nivoaka avy tany Egypta.
And he heard Jethro [the] priest of Midian [the] father-in-law of Moses all that he had done God for Moses and for Israel people his that he had brought out Yahweh Israel from Egypt.
2 Dia nentin’ i Jetro, rafozan’ i Mosesy, Zipora, vadin’ i Mosesy, rehefa nampivereniny izy,
And he had taken Jethro [the] father-in-law of Moses Zipporah [the] wife of Moses after dismissal her.
3 ary ny zanany mirahalahy: Gersoma no anaran’ ny anankiray, fa hoy izy: Efa vahiny atỳ amin’ ny tanin’ ny firenena hafa aho;
And [the] two sons her who [the] name of the one [was] Gershom for he had said a sojourner I have become in a land foreign.
4 ary Eliezera kosa no anaran’ ny anankiray, fa hoy izy: Andriamanitry ny razako no namonjy ahy ka nahafaka ahy tsy ho voan’ ny sabatr’ i Farao.
And [the] name of the one [was] Eliezer for [the] God of father my [has been] help my and he has delivered me from [the] sword of Pharaoh.
5 Dia tonga Jetro, rafozan’ i Mosesy, nitondra ny vady aman-janak’ i Mosesy hankany aminy tany an-efitra, izay nitobiany teo anilan’ ny tendrombohitr’ Andriamanitra:
And he came Jethro [the] father-in-law of Moses and sons his and wife his to Moses into the wilderness where he [was] encamped there [the] mountain of God.
6 dia nampilaza tamin’ i Mosesy izy ka nanao hoe: Izaho Jetro rafozanao avy hamangy anao, ary ny vadinao mbamin’ ny zanany roa lahy koa.
And he said to Moses I father-in-law your Jethro [am] coming to you and wife your and [the] two sons her with her.
7 Ary Mosesy nivoaka hitsena ny rafozany, dia niankohoka sady nanoroka azy; ary nifampiarahaba izy mianaka, dia niditra tao an-day.
And he went out Moses to meet father-in-law his and he bowed down and he kissed him and they asked each of neighbor his to welfare and they went the tent towards.
8 Ary nambaran’ i Mosesy tamin’ ny rafozany izay rehetra efa nataon’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Farao sy tamin’ ny Egyptiana noho ny amin’ ny Isiraely, mbamin’ ny fahoriana rehetra nanjo azy teny an-dalana, sy ny namonjen’ i Jehovah azy.
And he recounted Moses to father-in-law his all that he had done Yahweh to Pharaoh and to Egypt on [the] causes of Israel all the hardship which it had come upon them on the journey and he had delivered them Yahweh.
9 Dia faly Jetro noho ny soa rehetra izay efa nataon’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny Isiraely, izay novonjeny ho afaka tamin’ ny tanan’ ny Egyptiana.
And he rejoiced Jethro on all the good which he had done Yahweh to Israel whom he had delivered it from [the] hand of Egypt.
10 Ary hoy Jetro: Isaorana anie Jehovah, Izay namonjy anareo ho afaka tamin’ ny tanan’ ny Egyptiana sy tamin’ ny tànan’ i Farao, dia Izay namonjy ny olona tsy hotapahin’ ny Egyptiana.
And he said Jethro [be] blessed Yahweh who he has delivered you from [the] hand of Egypt and from [the] hand of Pharaoh who he has delivered the people from under [the] hand of Egypt.
11 Ankehitriny dia fantatro fa lehibe Jehovah mihoatra noho ny andriamanitra rehetra, dia tamin’ izay zavatra nentin’ ny Egyptiana nirehareha tamin’ ireny.
Now I know that [is] great Yahweh more than all the gods for in the matter which they have acted presumptuously on them.
12 Ary Jetro, rafozan’ i Mosesy, nitondra fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà ho an’ Andriamanitra; dia nankao Arona sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely rehetra hiara-mihinan-kanina amin’ ny rafozan’ i Mosesy teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra.
And he took Jethro [the] father-in-law of Moses a burnt offering and sacrifices to God and he came Aaron and all - [the] elders of Israel to eat food with [the] father-in-law of Moses before God.
13 Ary nony maraina dia nipetraka hitsara ny olona Mosesy; ka dia nijanona teo anatrehan’ i Mosesy ny olona hatramin’ ny maraina ka hatramin’ ny hariva.
And it was from [the] next day and he sat Moses to judge the people and it stood the people at Moses from the morning until the evening.
14 Ary rehefa hitan’ ny rafozan’ i Mosesy izay rehetra nataony tamin’ ny olona, dia hoy izy: Inona izao zavatra ataonao amin’ ny olona izao? Nahoana no ianao irery ihany no mipetraka, fa ny olona rehetra kosa mitsangana eo anatrehanao hatramin’ ny maraina ka hatramin’ ny hariva?
And he saw [the] father-in-law of Moses all that he [was] doing for the people and he said what? [is] the thing this which you [are] doing for the people why? [are] you sitting to alone you and all the people [is] standing at you from morning until evening.
15 Ary hoy Mosesy tamin’ ny rafozany: Satria mankaty amiko ny olona hanontany amin’ Andriamanitra.
And he said Moses to father-in-law his thatr it comes to me the people to consult God.
16 Raha misy manana ady izy, dia mankaty amiko, ka mitsara azy roa tonta aho, dia mampahalala azy ny didin’ Andriamanitra sy ny lalàny.
For it will be[long] to them a matter [it is] coming to me and I judge between each and between neighbor his and I make known [the] statutes of God and laws his.
17 Ary hoy ny rafozan’ i Mosesy taminy; Tsy tsara izao zavatra ataonao izao.
And he said [the] father-in-law of Moses to him not [is] good the thing which you [are] doing.
18 Samy ho reraka mihitsy, na ianao na izao olona miaraka aminao izao; fa mavesatra aminao loatra izao zavatra izao, ka tsy ho zakanao irery ny hanao izao.
Certainly you will wear yourself out both you as well as the people this which [is] with you for [is too] heavy for you the thing not you are able to do it to alone you.
19 Ary ankehitriny, dia maneke ny teniko, fa hanoro hevitra anao aho, ka Andriamanitra anie homba anao: Aoka ianao ho alalan’ ny olona amin’ Andriamanitra mba hitondranao ny teniny amin’ Andriamanitra;
Now listen to voice my let me advise you and may he be God with you be you for the people in front of God and you will bring you the matters to God.
20 ary hampianatra azy ny didy sy ny lalàna izay mety halehany sy ny asa izay mety hataony.
And you will warn them the statutes and the laws and you will make known to them the way [which] they will walk in it and the work which they will do!
21 Ary mizaha eo amin’ ny olona rehetra izay lehilahy mahay sy matahotra an’ Andriamanitra, dia lehilahy marina izay tsy tia kolikoly; ka manendre mpifehy arivo sy mpifehy zato sy mpifehy dimam-polo ary mpifehy folo hifehy azy.
And you you will provide from all the people men of ability [those] fearing God men of faithfulness [who] hate unjust gain and you will appoint over them officials of thousands officials of hundreds officials of fifties and officials of tens.
22 Ary aoka ireo no hitsara ny olona mandrakariva, ka ny ady lehibe rehetra no aoka ho entiny aminao, fa ny ady madinidinika rehetra kosa dia aoka hotsarainy ihany; dia ho maivamaivana kokoa aminao izany, ka dia hiara-mitondra aminao ireo.
And they will judge the people at every time and it will be every matter great they will bring to you and every matter small they will judge they and lighten from on yourself and they will bear with you.
23 Raha hanao araka izany zavatra izany ianao, ka hilaza izay didy aminao Andriamanitra, dia haharitra ianao, ary izao olona rehetra izao koa dia ho tonga soa aman-tsara any amin’ ny taniny.
If the thing this you will do and he will command you God and you will be able to endure and also all the people this to place its it will go in peace.
24 Dia neken’ i Mosesy ny tenin’ ny rafozany, ka nataony avokoa izay rehetra efa nolazainy.
And he listened Moses to [the] voice father-in-law his and he did all that he had said.
25 Dia nofidin’ i Mosesy izay lehilahy mahay tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra ka nataony lohan’ ny olona hanapaka azy, dia ho mpifehy arivo sy ho mpifehy zato sy ho mpifehy dimam-polo ary ho mpifehy folo.
And he chose Moses men of ability from all Israel and he appointed them chiefs over the people of icials of thousands officials of hundreds officials of fifties and officials of tens.
26 Dia nitsara ny olona mandrakariva ireo; koa ny ady sarotra ihany no nentiny tao amin’ i Mosesy, fa ny ady madinika rehetra kosa dia notsarainy ihany.
And they judged the people at every time the matter difficult they brought! to Moses and every matter small they judged they.
27 Ary Mosesy namoaka ny rafozany; ka dia lasa nody any amin’ ny taniny izy.
And he sent off Moses father-in-law his and he went himself to land his.
