¹When 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;

¹A Jetro, madianské knieža-kňaz, svokor Mojžišov, počul o všetkom, čo učinil Bôh Mojžišovi a Izraelovi, svojmu ľudu, že Hospodin vyviedol Izraela z Egypta.

²Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,

²A Jetro, svokor Mojžišov, vzal Cipporu, ženu Mojžišovu, potom, keď ju bol odoslal

³And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:

³i jej dvoch synov, z ktorých jednému bolo meno Geršom, pretože povedal: Som pohostínom v cudzej zemi;

⁴And 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:

⁴a meno druhého bolo Eliezer, lebo vraj Bôh môjho otca mi bol na pomoci a vytrhol ma od meča faraonovho.

⁵And 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:

⁵A vtedy prišiel Jetro, svokor Mojžišov, i jeho synovia i jeho žena k Mojžišovi na púšť, kde ležal táborom pri vrchu Božom.

⁶And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.

⁶A odkázal Mojžišovi: Ja, tvoj svokor Jetro, idem k tebe i tvoja žena i obaja jej synovia s ňou.

⁷And 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.

⁷Vtedy vyšiel Mojžiš vústrety svojmu svokrovi a pokloniac sa bozkal ho, a pýtali sa druh druha, jako sa má, a vošli do stánu.

⁸And 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.

⁸A Mojžiš rozprával svojmu svokrovi všetko, čo učinil Hospodin faraonovi a Egypťanom pre Izraela, o všetkých ťažkostiach, ktoré prichádzaly na nich na ceste, a jako ich po každé vytrhnul Hospodin.

⁹And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.

⁹A Jetro sa radoval všetkému tomu dobrému, ktoré učinil Hospodin Izraelovi a že ho vytrhol z ruky Egypťanov.

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰A Jetro povedal: Požehnaný Hospodin, ktorý vás vytrhol z ruky Egypťanov a z ruky faraonovej, ktorý vytrhol ten ľud zpod ruky Egypťanov.

¹¹Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.

¹¹Teraz viem, že je Hospodin väčší nad všetkých bohov, lebo za to, že sa pyšne chovali, dopustil to všetko na nich.

¹²And 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.

¹²A Jetro, svokor Mojžišov, vzal zápal a bitné obeti a obetoval Bohu, a prišiel Áron a všetci starší Izraelovi, aby jedli chlieb so svokrom Mojžišovým pred Bohom.

¹³And 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.

¹³A stalo sa na druhý deň, že sadnul Mojžiš, aby súdil ľud, a ľud stál nad Mojžišom od rána až do večera.

¹⁴And 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?

¹⁴A keď videl svokor Mojžišov všetko, čo koná ľudu, povedal: Aká je toto vec, ktorú ty konáš ľudu? Prečo ty sedíš sám a všetok ľud stojí nad tebou od rána až do večera?

¹⁵And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to inquire of God:

¹⁵A Mojžiš povedal svojmu svokrovi: Preto, lebo ľud prichádza ku mne pýtať sa Boha.

¹⁶When 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.

¹⁶Keď majú nejakú spornú vec, prijdú ku mne, a ja rozsúdim medzi človekom a medzi jeho blížnym a oznamujem im ustanovenia Boha a jeho zákony.

¹⁷And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.

¹⁷A svokor Mojžišov mu povedal: Nie je to dobrá vec, ktorú konáš.

¹⁸Thou 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.

¹⁸Istotne sa unavíš i ty i tento ľud, ktorý je s tebou, lebo vec je priťažká pre teba; nebudeš ju môcť sám konať.

¹⁹Hearken 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:

¹⁹Poslúchni teraz môj hlas, poradím ti, a Bôh bude s tebou. Ty buď za ľud pred Bohom, a ty budeš donášať nesnadné veci k Bohu.

²⁰And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt show them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.

²⁰A budeš im vysvetľovať ustanovenia a zákony a oznámiš im cestu, ktorou majú ísť, a to, čo majú robiť.

²¹Moreover 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:

²¹Ale ty vyhliadni z celého ľudu chrabrých mužov, ktorí sa boja Boha, mužov pravdy, ktorí nenávidia nespravedlivého zisku, a ustanovíš ich nad nimi za náčelníkov nad tisícami, náčelníkov nad stami, náčelníkov nad päťdesiatimi a náčelníkov nad desiatimi.

²²And 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.

²²A budú súdiť ľud každého času, a bude tak, že každú veľkú vec donesú k tebe, ale každú malú vec rozsúdia oni; takým činom sa ti uľahčí, a oni ponesú s tebou.

²³If 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.

²³Ak urobíš túto vec, a Bôh ti to rozkáže, budeš môcť obstáť, i všetok tento ľud bude prichádzať na svoje miesto v pokoji.

²⁴So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said.

²⁴A Mojžiš poslúchol slovo svojho svokra a učinil všetko, čo povedal.

²⁵And 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.

²⁵A tedy vybral Mojžiš statných mužov zo všetkého Izraela a dal ich za hlavy nad ľudom, za náčelníkov nad tisícami, za náčelníkov nad stami, za náčelníkov nad päťdesiatimi, za náčelníkov nad desiatimi,

²⁶And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

²⁶a súdili ľud každého času. Ťažkú vec doniesli k Mojžišovi, a každú vec malú rozsúdili sami.

²⁷And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land.

²⁷Potom prepustil Mojžiš svojho svokra, ktorý išiel svojou cestou do svojej zeme.
