| 1 | And when Jethro the priest of Madian, the kinsman of Moses, had heard all the things that God had done to Moses, and to Israel his people, and that the Lord had brought forth Israel out of Egypt, | Cumque audisset Iethro, sacerdos Madian, cognatus Moysi, omnia quae fecerat Deus Moysi, et Israëli populo suo, et quod eduxisset Dominus Israël de Aegypto, | Ἤκουσε δὲ Ἰοθὸρ ἱερεὺς Μαδιὰμ ὁ γαμβρὸς Μωυσῆ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησε Κύριος Ἰσραὴλ τῷ ἑαυτοῦ λαῷ· ἐξήγαγε γὰρ Κύριος τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου. |
| 2 | He took Sephora the wife of Moses whom he had sent back: | tulit Sephoram uxorem Moysi quam remiserat, | Ἔλαβε δὲ Ἰοθὸρ ὁ γαμβρὸς Μωυσῆ Σεπφώραν τὴν γυναῖκα Μωυσῆ μετὰ τὴν ἄφεσιν αὐτῆς, |
| 3 | And her two sons, of whom one was called Gersam, his father saying: I have been a stranger in a foreign country. | et duos filios eius: quorum unus vocabatur Gersam, dicente patre: Advena fui in terra aliena; | καὶ τοὺς δύο υἱοὺς αὐτῆς· ὄνομα τῷ ἑνὶ αὐτῶν Γηρσάμ, λέγων, πάροικος ἤμην ἐν γῇ ἀλλοτρίᾳ· |
| 4 | And the other Eliezer: For the God of my father, said he, is my helper, and hath delivered me from the sword of Pharao. | alter vero Eliezer: Deus enim, ait, patris mei adiutor meus, et eruit me de gladio Pharaonis. | καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ δευτέρου Ἐλίεζερ, λέγων, ὁ γὰρ Θεὸς τοῦ πατρός μου βοηθός μου, καὶ ἐξείλατό με ἐκ χειρὸς Φαραώ. |
| 5 | And Jethro the kinsman of Moses came with his sons and his wife, to Moses into the desert, where he was camped by the mountain of God. | Venit ergo Iethro cognatus Moysi, et filii eius, et uxor eius ad Moysen in desertum, ubi erat castrametatus iuxta montem Dei. | Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰοθὸρ ὁ γαμβρὸς Μωυσῆ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ καὶ ἡ γυνὴ πρὸς Μωυσῆν εἰς τὴν ἔρημον, οὗ παρενέβαλεν ἐπʼ ὄρους τοῦ Θεοῦ. |
| 6 | And he sent word to Moses, saying: I Jethro thy kinsman come to thee, and thy wife, and thy two sons with her. | Et mandavit Moysi, dicens: Ego Iethro cognatus tuus venio ad te, et uxor tua, et duo filii cum ea. | Ἀνηγγέλη δὲ Μωυσῇ, λέγοντες, ἰδοὺ ὁ γαμβρός σου Ἰοθὸρ παραγίνεται πρὸς σέ, καὶ ἡ γυνὴ καὶ οἱ δύο υἱοί σου μετʼ αὐτοῦ. |
| 7 | And he went out to meet his kinsman, and worshipped and kissed him: and they saluted one another with words of peace. And when he was come into the tent, | Qui egressus in occursum cognati sui, adoravit, et osculatus est eum: salutaveruntque se mutuo verbis pacificis. Cumque intrasset tabernaculum, | Ἐξῆλθε δὲ Μωυσῆς εἰς συνάντησιν τῷ γαμβρῷ, καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἐφίλησεν αυτὸν, καὶ ἠσπάσαντο ἀλλήλους, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν σκηνήν. |
| 8 | Moses told his kinsman all that the Lord had done to Pharao, and the Egyptians, in favour of Israel: and all the labour which had befallen them in the journey, and that the Lord had delivered them. | narravit Moyses cognato suo cuncta quae fecerat Dominus Pharaoni et Aegyptiis propter Israël: universumque laborem, qui accidisset eis in itinere, et quod liberaverat eos Dominus. | Καὶ διηγήσατο Μωυσῆς τῷ γαμβρῷ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησε Κύριος τῷ Φαραῷ καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς Αἰγυπτίοις ἕνεκεν τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ πάντα τὸν μόχθον τὸν γενόμενον αὐτοῖς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, καὶ ὅτι ἐξείλατο αὐτοὺς Κύριος ἐκ χειρὸς Φαραὼ, καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν Αἰγυπτίων. |
| 9 | And Jethro rejoiced for all the good things that the Lord had done to Israel, because he had delivered them out of the hands of the Egyptians. | Laetatusque est Iethro super omnibus bonis, quae fecerat Dominus Israëli, eo quod eruisset eum de manu Aegyptiorum. | Ἐξέστη δὲ Ἰοθὸρ ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς οἷς ἐποίησεν αὐτοῖς Κύριος, ὅτι ἐξείλατο αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς Αἰγυπτίων καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς Φαραώ. |
| 10 | And he said: Blessed is the Lord, who hath delivered you out of the hand of Pharao, and out of the hand of the Egyptians, who hath delivered his people out of the hand of Egypt. | Et ait: Benedictus Dominus, qui liberavit vos de manu Aegyptiorum, et de manu Pharaonis; qui eruit populum suum de manu Aegypti. | Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰοθὸρ, εὐλογητὸς Κύριος, ὅτι ἐξείλατο αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς Αἰγυπτίων καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς Φαραώ. |
| 11 | Now I know that the Lord is great above all gods: because they dealt proudly against them. | Nunc cognovi, quia magnus Dominus super omnes deos: eo quod superbe egerint contra illos. | Νῦν ἔγνων ὅτι μέγας Κύριος παρὰ πάντας τοὺς θεούς ἕνεκεν τούτου, ὅτι ἐπέθεντο αὐτοῖς. |
| 12 | So Jethro the kinsman of Moses offered holocausts and sacrifices to God: and Aaron and all the ancients of Israel came, to eat bread with them before God. | Obtulit ergo Iethro cognatus Moysi holocausta et hostias Deo: veneruntque Aaron et omnes seniores Israël, ut comederent panem cum eo coram Deo. | Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἰοθὸρ ὁ γαμβρὸς Μωυσῆ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ θυσίας τῷ Θεῷ· παρεγένετο δὲ Ἀαρὼν καὶ πάντες οἱ πρεσβύτεροι Ἰσραὴλ συμφαγεῖν ἄρτον μετὰ τοῦ γαμβροῦ Μωυσῆ, ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ. |
| 13 | And the next day Moses sat, to judge the people, who stood by Moses from morning until night. | Altera autem die sedit Moyses ut iudicaret populum, qui assistebat Moysi a mane usque ad vesperam. | Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὴν ἐπαύριον συνεκάθισε Μωυσῆς κρίνειν τὸν λαόν· παρειστήκει δὲ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς Μωυσῇ ἀπὸ πρωΐθεν ἕως δείλης. |
| 14 | And when his kinsman had seen all things that he did among the people, he said: What is it that thou dost among the people? Why sittest thou alone, and all the people wait from morning till night. | Quod cum vidisset cognatus eius, omnia scilicet quae agebat in populo, ait: Quid est hoc quod facis in plebe? cur solus sedes, et omnis populus praestolatur de mane usque ad vesperam? | Καὶ ἰδὼν Ἰοθὸρ πάντα ὅσα ποιεῖ τῷ λαῷ, λέγει, τί τοῦτο ὃ σὺ ποιεῖς τῷ λαῷ; διατί σὺ κάθησαι μόνος, πᾶς δὲ ὁ λαὸς παρέστηκέ σοι ἀπὸ πρωΐθεν ἕως δείλης; |
| 15 | And Moses answered him: The people come to me to seek the judgment of God. | Cui respondit Moyses: Venit ad me populus quaerens sententiam Dei: | Καὶ λέγει Μωυσῆς τῷ γαμβρῶ, Ὅτι παραγίνεται πρός με ὁ λαὸς ἐκζητῆσαι κρίσιν παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ. |
| 16 | And when any controversy falleth out among them, they come to me to judge between them, and to shew the precepts of God, and his laws. | cumque acciderit eis aliqua disceptatio, veniunt ad me ut iudicem inter eos, et ostendam praecepta Dei, et leges eius. | Ὅταν γὰρ γένηται αὐτοῖς ἀντιλογία, καὶ ἔλθωσι πρός με, διακρίνω ἕκαστον, καὶ συμβιβάζω αὐτοὺς τὰ προστάγματα τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τὸν νόμον αὐτοῦ. |
| 17 | But he said: The thing thou dost is not good. | At ille: Non bonam, inquit, rem facis. | Εἶπε δὲ ὁ γαμβρὸς Μωυσῆ πρὸς αὐτὸν, οὐκ ὀρθῶς σὺ ποιεῖς τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο. |
| 18 | Thou are spent with foolish labour, both thou and this people that is with thee: the business is above thy strength, thou alone canst not bear it. | Stulto labore consumeris et tu, et populus iste qui tecum est: ultra vires tuas est negotium; solus illud non poteris sustinere. | Φθορᾷ καταφθαρήσῃ ἀνυπομονήτῳ καὶ σὺ, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς οὗτος, ὅς ἐστι μετὰ σοῦ· βαρύ σοι τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο· οὐ δυνήσῃ ποιεῖν σὺ μόνος. |
| 19 | But hear my words and counsels, and God shall be with thee. Be thou to the people in those things that pertain to God, to bring their words to him: | Sed audi verba mea atque consilia, et erit Deus tecum. Esto tu populo in his quae ad Deum pertinent, ut referas quae dicuntur ad eum: | Νῦν οὖν ἄκουσόν μου, καὶ συμβουλεύσω σοι, καὶ ἔσται ὁ Θεὸς μετὰ σοῦ· γίνου σὺ τῷ λαῷ τὰ πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν, καὶ ἀνοίσεις τοὺς λόγους αὐτῶν πρὸς τὸν Θεόν. |
| 20 | And to shew the people the ceremonies and the manner of worshipping, and the way wherein they ought to walk, and the work that they ought to do. | ostendasque populo caeremonias et ritum colendi, viamque per quam ingredi debeant, et opus quod facere debeant. | Καὶ διαμαρτύρῇ αὐτοῖς τὰ προστάγματα τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τὸν νόμον αὐτοῦ, καὶ σημανεῖς αὐτοῖς τὰς ὁδοὺς ἐν αἷς πορεύσονται ἐν αὐταῖς, καὶ τὰ ἔργα ἃ ποιήσουσι. |
| 21 | And provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, in whom there is truth, and that hate avarice, and appoint of them rulers of thousands, and of hundreds, and of fifties, and of tens. | Provide autem de omni plebe viros potentes, et timentes Deum, in quibus sit veritas, et qui oderint avaritiam, et constitue ex eis tribunos, et centuriones, et quinquagenarios, et decanos, | Καὶ σὺ σεαυτῷ σκέψαι ἀπὸ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ ἄνδρας δυνατοὺς, θεοσεβεῖς, ἄνδρας δικαίους, μισοῦντας ὑπερηφανίαν, καὶ καταστήσεις ἐπʼ αὐτῶν χιλιάρχους καὶ ἑκατοντάρχους καὶ πεντηκοντάρχους καὶ δεκαδάρχους. |
| 22 | Who may judge the people at all times: and when any great matter soever shall fall out, let them refer it to thee, and let them judge the lesser matters only: that so it may be lighter for thee, the burden being shared out unto others. | qui iudicent populum omni tempore: quidquid autem maius fuerit, referant ad te, et ipsi minora tantummodo iudicent: leviusque sit tibi, partito in alios onere. | Καὶ κρινοῦσι τὸν λαὸν πᾶσαν ὥραν· τὸ δὲ ῥῆμα τὸ ὑπέρογκον ἀνοίσουσιν ἐπὶ σὲ· τὰ δὲ βραχέα τῶν κριμάτων κρινοῦσιν αὐτοί· καὶ κουφιοῦσιν ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ συναντιλήψονταί σοι. |
| 23 | If thou dost this, thou shalt fulfill the commandment of God, and shalt be able to bear his precepts: and all this people shall return to their places with peace. | Si hoc feceris, implebis imperium Dei, et praecepta eius poteris sustentare: et omnis hic populus revertetur ad loca sua cum pace. | Ἐὰν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο ποιήσῃς, κατισχύσει σε ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ δυνήσῃ παραστῆναι, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς οὗτος εἰς τὸν ἑαυτοῦ τόπον μετʼ εἰρήνης ἥξει. |
| 24 | And when Moses heard this, he did all things that he had suggested unto him. | Quibus auditis, Moyses fecit omnia quae ille suggesserat. | Ἤκουσε δὲ Μωυσῆς τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ γαμβροῦ, καὶ ἐποίησεν ὅσα εἶπεν αὐτῷ. |
| 25 | And choosing able men out of all Israel, he appointed them rulers of the people, rulers over thousands, and over hundreds, and over fifties, and over tens. | Et electis viris strenuis de cuncto Israël, constituit eos principes populi, tribunos, et centuriones, et quinquagenarios, et decanos. | Καὶ ἐπέλεξε Μωυσῆς ἄνδρας δυνατοὺς ἀπὸ παντὸς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτοὺς ἐπʼ αὐτῶν χιλιάρχους καὶ ἑκατοντάρχους καὶ πεντηκοντάρχους καὶ δεκαδάρχους. |
| 26 | And they judged the people at all times: and whatsoever was of greater difficulty they referred to him, and they judged the easier cases only. | Qui iudicabant plebem omni tempore: quidquid autem gravius erat, referebant ad eum, faciliora tantummodo iudicantes. | Καὶ ἐκρίνοσαν τὸν λαὸν πᾶσαν ὥραν· πᾶν δὲ ῥῆμα ὑπέρογκον ἀνεφέροσαν ἐπὶ Μωυσῆν· πᾶν δὲ ῥῆμα ἐλαφρὸν ἐκρίνοσαν αὐτοί. |
| 27 | And he let his kinsman depart: and he returned and went into his own country. | Dimisitque cognatum suum: qui reversus abiit in terram suam. | Ἐξαπέστειλε δὲ Μωυσῆς τὸν ἑαυτοῦ γαμβρὸν, καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ. |
