叶忒罗看望摩西
18 摩西的岳父——米甸的祭司叶忒罗，听说上帝为摩西和祂的子民以色列人所做的一切事——如何带领他们离开埃及， 2 就带着女儿西坡拉和两个外孙去见摩西。西坡拉是摩西的妻子，摩西曾让她回娘家暂时居住。 3 摩西的两个儿子一个叫革舜，因为摩西说：“我成了在异乡寄居的人”； 4 一个叫以利以谢，因为摩西说：“我父亲的上帝帮助我，从法老的刀下拯救了我。” 5 摩西的岳父叶忒罗带着摩西的妻子和两个儿子来到上帝的山，就是摩西在旷野安营的地方。 6 叶忒罗事先差人把他带着摩西的妻子和两个儿子要来的消息通知摩西。 7 摩西出去迎接岳父，向他下拜，与他亲吻，彼此问安，然后大家都进了帐篷。 8 摩西把耶和华为拯救以色列人而向法老和埃及人所行的事，以及怎样救百姓脱离路上遇见的种种困难，都告诉了叶忒罗。 9 叶忒罗为耶和华恩待以色列人、把他们救出埃及而高兴， 10 便说：“耶和华当受称颂，因为祂从埃及人和法老手中拯救了你们，把这百姓从埃及人手中拯救了出来。 11 我现在知道，耶和华比一切神明都伟大，因为祂惩治了虐待这些百姓的狂妄之徒。”
12 摩西的岳父叶忒罗说完，便向上帝献燔祭及其他祭物。亚伦和以色列的长老都来与他一起在上帝面前吃饭。
13 第二天，摩西坐着审理百姓的纠纷，百姓从早到晚都站在摩西周围。 14 摩西的岳父叶忒罗看见摩西对百姓所行的一切，就对摩西说：“你为什么这样处理百姓的事？为什么你独自坐着，众百姓从早到晚都站在你周围？” 15 摩西对岳父说：“他们是来求问上帝的， 16 我亲自审理他们中间的是非，教他们认识上帝的律例和法度。” 17 摩西的岳父叶忒罗劝摩西说：“这不是好方法， 18 你和这些百姓都会疲惫不堪，你一个人无法担当如此繁重的工作。 19 你要听我的劝告，愿上帝与你同在。你要做百姓的代表，把案件奏明上帝， 20 又要教导他们律例和法度，指示他们当行的道、当做的事。 21 此外，要在百姓当中挑选一些敬畏上帝、有才干、诚实、正直、憎恶不义之财的人，派他们做千夫长、百夫长、五十夫长和十夫长，管理百姓。 22 让他们随时为百姓判案，处理小纠纷，遇到大事才由你审理。有他们分担你的责任，你会更轻省。 23 如果你这样做，并且上帝也这样吩咐你，你就能承受得住，百姓也可以平安地回家。”
24 于是，摩西接纳了岳父的建议，依言而行， 25 从百姓中挑选有才干的人，委派他们做千夫长、百夫长、五十夫长和十夫长管理百姓。 26 他们负责随时审理百姓的事，遇到难断的案件就呈到摩西那里，自己则审理普通的事。 27 之后，摩西送岳父上路，他就返回了家乡。

Jethro’s Advice(A)
18 And (B)Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, heard of all that (C)God had done for Moses and for Israel His people—that the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt. 2 Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took (D)Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her back, 3 with her (E)two sons, of whom the name of one was [a]Gershom (for he said, (F)“I have been a [b]stranger in a foreign land”) 4 and the name of the other was [c]Eliezer (for he said, “The God of my father was my (G)help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh”); 5 and Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses in the wilderness, where he was encamped at (H)the mountain of God. 6 Now he had said to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her.”
7 So Moses (I)went out to meet his father-in-law, bowed down, and (J)kissed him. And they asked each other about their well-being, and they went into the tent. 8 And Moses told his father-in-law all that the Lord had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, all the hardship that had come upon them on the way, and how the Lord had (K)delivered them. 9 Then Jethro rejoiced for all the (L)good which the Lord had done for Israel, whom He had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians. 10 And Jethro said, (M)“Blessed be the Lord, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharaoh, and who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. 11 Now I know that the Lord is (N)greater than all the gods; (O)for in the very thing in which they [d]behaved (P)proudly, He was above them.” 12 Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, [e]took a burnt (Q)offering and other sacrifices to offer to God. And Aaron came with all the elders of Israel (R)to eat bread with Moses’ father-in-law before God.
13 And so it was, on the next day, that Moses (S)sat to judge the people; and the people stood before Moses from morning until evening. 14 So when Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he did for the people, he said, “What is this thing that you are doing for the people? Why do you alone [f]sit, and all the people stand before you from morning until evening?”
15 And Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because (T)the people come to me to inquire of God. 16 When they have (U)a [g]difficulty, they come to me, and I judge between one and another; and I make known the statutes of God and His laws.”
17 So Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “The thing that you do is not good. 18 Both you and these people who are with you will surely wear yourselves out. For this thing is too much for you; (V)you are not able to perform it by yourself. 19 Listen now to my voice; I will give you [h]counsel, and God will be with you: Stand (W)before God for the people, so that you may (X)bring the difficulties to God. 20 And you shall (Y)teach them the statutes and the laws, and show them the way in which they must walk and (Z)the work they must do. 21 Moreover you shall select from all the people (AA)able men, such as (AB)fear God, (AC)men of truth, (AD)hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. 22 And let them judge the people at all times. (AE)Then it will be that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they themselves shall judge. So it will be easier for you, for (AF)they will bear the burden with you. 23 If you do this thing, and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure, and all this people will also go to their (AG)place in peace.”
24 So Moses heeded the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said. 25 And (AH)Moses 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. 26 So they judged the people at all times; the (AI)hard[i] cases they brought to Moses, but they judged every small case themselves.
27 Then Moses let his father-in-law depart, and (AJ)he went his way to his own land.

Изход 18
Библия, синодално издание
18 (A)Мадиамският свещеник Иотор, тъст Моисеев, чу за всичко, що Бог направи за Моисея и за Израиля, Своя народ, когато Господ изведе Израиля от Египет.
2 (B)И Моисеевият тъст Иотор взе Сепфора, жената на Моисея, която Моисей порано бе изпратил назад,
3 (C)и двамата ѝ синове: на единия името беше Гирсам, защото, казваше Моисей: пришълец съм аз в чужда земя;
4 (D)а на другия името беше Елиезер, защото (думаше той) Бог на моя баща ми беше помощник и ме избави от фараоновия меч.
5 (E)И Моисеевият тъст Иотор дойде със синовете му и с жена му при Моисея в пустинята, дето се беше той разположил на стан при Божията планина,
6 (F)и обади на Моисея: аз, твоят тъст Иотор, ида при тебе, иде и жена ти, и двамата ѝ сина с нея.
7 Моисей излезе да посрещне тъста си, и (му) се поклони, и го целуна, и, след като се поздравиха един други, влязоха в шатрата.
8 И разказа Моисей на тъста си за всичко, що Господ стори с фараона и с (всички) египтяни за Израиля, и за всички мъчнотии, каквито те срещнаха по пътя, и как Господ ги избави (от ръцете на фараона и от ръцете на египтяни).
9 Иотор се зарадва за всички добрини, които Господ бе показал на Израиля, когато го избави от ръцете на египтяни (и от ръцете на фараона),
10 и каза Иотор: благословен да е Господ, Който ви избави от ръцете на египтяни и от фараоновата ръка, Който избави тоя народ изпод властта на египтяни;
11 (G)сега аз познах, че Господ е по-велик от всички богове, тъкмо в онова, с което се те превъзнасяха пред израилтяните.
12 (H)И Моисеевият тъст Иотор принесе всесъжение и жертви Богу; и дойде Аарон и всички Израилеви старейшини да ядат хляб с Моисеевия тъст пред Бога.
13 На другия ден седна Моисей да съди народа, и народът стоеше пред Моисея от сутрин до вечер.
14 И видя (Иотор) тъстът Моисеев всичко, що той правеше с народа, и каза: какво правиш ти с народа? защо само ти седиш, а цял народ стои пред тебе от сутрин до вечер?
15 Отговори Моисей на тъста си: на родът дохожда при мене да иска съд от Бога;
16 кога им се случи някоя работа, те идват при мене, и аз отсъждам помежду им и (им) явявам Божиите наредби и законите Му.
17 Но тъстът Моисеев му каза: тъй. както правиш, не е добре.
18 (I)Ти ще измъчиш и себе си и народа, който е с тебе, защото много тежка е тая работа за тебе: ти самичък не можеш я върши;
19 затова, послушай думите ми; аз ще ти дам съвет, и Бог ще бъде с тебе: бъди ти посредник пред Бога за народа и представяй на Бога работите (му);
20 учи ги на (Божиите) наредби и на законите (Му), и посочвай им пътя (Му), по който те трябва да вървят, и делата, които трябва да вършат;
21 (J)а ти (си) избери измежду целия народ мъже способни, богобоязливи, мъже правдолюбиви, мразещи корист, и (ги) тури над тях за хилядници, стотници, петдесетници и десетници (и писари);
22 нека те съдят народа във всяко време и да ти обаждат за всяка важна работа, а за всички малки работи да съдят те сами; и на тебе ще е по-леко, и те ще носят с тебе заедно товара;
23 ако направиш това, и Бог ти заповяда това, тогава ще можеш утрая, и цели ят тоя народ ще си отива смиром на място то.
24 И послуша Моисей думите на тъста си и направи всичко, що (му) говори;
25 (K)и избра Моисей от целия Израил способни мъже и ги постави началници на народа, хилядници, стотници, петдесетници и десетници (и писари),
26 (L)и те съдеха народа във всяко време; за (всички) важни работи обаждаха на Моисея, а за всички малки работи съдеха сами.
27 (M)И изпрати Моисей тъста си, и той отиде в земята си.

Jethro Visits Moses
18 Now Jethro,(A) the priest of Midian(B) and father-in-law of Moses, heard of everything God had done for Moses and for his people Israel, and how the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt.(C)
2 After Moses had sent away his wife Zipporah,(D) his father-in-law Jethro received her 3 and her two sons.(E) One son was named Gershom,[a] for Moses said, “I have become a foreigner in a foreign land”;(F) 4 and the other was named Eliezer,[b](G) for he said, “My father’s God was my helper;(H) he saved me from the sword of Pharaoh.”
5 Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, together with Moses’ sons and wife, came to him in the wilderness, where he was camped near the mountain(I) of God. 6 Jethro had sent word to him, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons.”
7 So Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and bowed down(J) and kissed(K) him. They greeted each other and then went into the tent. 8 Moses told his father-in-law about everything the Lord had done to Pharaoh and the Egyptians for Israel’s sake and about all the hardships(L) they had met along the way and how the Lord had saved(M) them.
9 Jethro was delighted to hear about all the good things(N) the Lord had done for Israel in rescuing them from the hand of the Egyptians. 10 He said, “Praise be to the Lord,(O) who rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians and of Pharaoh, and who rescued the people from the hand of the Egyptians. 11 Now I know that the Lord is greater than all other gods,(P) for he did this to those who had treated Israel arrogantly.”(Q) 12 Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law,(R) brought a burnt offering(S) and other sacrifices(T) to God, and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat a meal(U) with Moses’ father-in-law in the presence(V) of God.
13 The next day Moses took his seat to serve as judge for the people, and they stood around him from morning till evening. 14 When his father-in-law saw all that Moses was doing for the people, he said, “What is this you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit as judge, while all these people stand around you from morning till evening?”
15 Moses answered him, “Because the people come to me to seek God’s will.(W) 16 Whenever they have a dispute,(X) it is brought to me, and I decide between the parties and inform them of God’s decrees and instructions.”(Y)
17 Moses’ father-in-law replied, “What you are doing is not good. 18 You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone.(Z) 19 Listen now to me and I will give you some advice, and may God be with you.(AA) You must be the people’s representative before God and bring their disputes(AB) to him. 20 Teach them his decrees and instructions,(AC) and show them the way they are to live(AD) and how they are to behave.(AE) 21 But select capable men(AF) from all the people—men who fear(AG) God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain(AH)—and appoint them as officials(AI) over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. 22 Have them serve as judges for the people at all times, but have them bring every difficult case(AJ) to you; the simple cases they can decide themselves. That will make your load lighter, because they will share(AK) it with you. 23 If you do this and God so commands, you will be able to stand the strain, and all these people will go home satisfied.”
24 Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything he said. 25 He chose capable men from all Israel and made them leaders(AL) of the people, officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens.(AM) 26 They served as judges(AN) for the people at all times. The difficult cases(AO) they brought to Moses, but the simple ones they decided themselves.(AP)
27 Then Moses sent his father-in-law on his way, and Jethro returned to his own country.(AQ)

Exodus 18
King James Version
18 When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt;
2 Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,
3 And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:
4 And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:
5 And Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God:
6 And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
7 And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into the tent.
8 And Moses told his father in law all that the Lord had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the Lord delivered them.
9 And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the Lord had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.
10 And Jethro 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.
11 Now I know that the Lord is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.
12 And Jethro, Moses' father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father in law before God.
13 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.
14 And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?
15 And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:
16 When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.
17 And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.
18 Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.
19 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:
20 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:
22 And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.
23 If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.
24 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said.
25 And Moses 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.
26 And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
27 And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land.
