¹Jethro, Midian siampu, Mosi sungpan, Mosi ading leh a mi Israelte adinga Pathianin a hih tengteng leh Aigupta gama kipan a TOUPAN Israelte a pikhiak dan a jak laiin.

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;

²Huailain Jethro, Mosi sungpan, Zippora, Mosi ji, a sawlkik nungin a laa;

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

³Zippora tapa nihte toh; huai nih laka khat min Gersom ahi; Melmak gamah mikhual ka nahia, a chih jiakin:

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:

⁴Huan a dang min Eliezer ahi; Ka pa Pathian hon panpihpa ahia, Pharo namsau akipana a hontatkhiak jiakin a chi hi!

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:

⁵Huchiin Jethro, Mosi sungpa a tapate leh a ji toh gamdaiah Mosi kiangah a hong ua, Pathian tanga a puanin kaihna munah:

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:

⁶Huan Mosi kiangah, Kei na sungpa Jethro na kiangah ka hong, na ji leh a kianga a tapa nihte toh, achia.

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

⁷Huciin Mosi a sungpa dawn dingin a pawt khiaa, a kuan, amah a tawpa; bang na chia uhiam chiin a kidong ua; huan puanin sungah a lut uhi.

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.

⁸Huchiin Mosiin a sungpa Pharo tung leh Aiguptate tunga Israelte jiaka TOUPA thilhih tengteng leh, lampia haksatna a tung ua hongtung tengteng leh huaite a kipan TOUPAN a tatkhiat dante a hilh hi.

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.

⁹Huan Aiguptate khuta kipana a tatkhiak, Israelte tunga TOUPAN a hih hoihna tengteng jiakin Jethroin nuam a sa hi.

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.

¹⁰Huan Jethroin, Aiguptate khuta kipan leh, Pharo khuta kipana hontankhepa, Aiguptate khut nuaia kipana mite tankhepa TOUPAN nuamsa hen,

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.

¹¹Tuin pathiante tengteng sangin TOUPA a thupijaw chih ka thei: kisathei taka a hihna thil ua amah huaite tunga a om jiakin, a chi a.

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

¹²Huchiin Jethro Mosi sungpan, halmang thillat leh kithoihnate Pathian adingin a lana: huchiin Aron a honga, Israelte upate tengteng toh Pathian maa Mosi sungpa toh tanghou ne dingin, a hong uh.

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.

¹³Huan hichi ahia a jingin Mosi mite vaihawm dingin a tu a: huchiin mite jingsang akipan nitaklam tanin Mosi kiangah a ding uh.

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.

¹⁴Huchia Mosi sungpan mite kianga a hih tengteng a muhin, Mite kianga hiai thil na hih bang ahia? tang tut na chia, bangdia jingsang akipan nitaklam tana mite na kianga ding uh ahia? a chi a.

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?

¹⁵Mosiin a sungpa kiangah, Pathian tanchin dong dinga mite a hong jiak un:

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

¹⁶Thu a neih chiang un, ka kiang ah a hong ua; khat leh a dang kikalah vai ka hawma, Pathian thusehte leh a dante ka theisak hi, a chi hi.

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.

¹⁷Huan Mosi sungpan a kiangah, Na thil hih a hoih kei.

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

¹⁸Na se gawp mahmah ding, nang leh na kianga om hiai mite: nang adingin hiai thil a gik luat jiakin; nang kiain na hih theikei hi.

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.

¹⁹Tuin ka aw ngaikhiain, ka hon thuhilh ding hi, huan na kiangah Pathian a om ding: Pathian lamah mite ading hiin, Pathian kianga a jiakte na tut theihna dingin:

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:

²⁰Thusehte leh dante amau na chil dia, a paina ding lam uh na ensak dia, a nasep ding uh toh.

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.

²¹Huailouin mite akipanin mi hithei, Pathian kihtakdan siamte, thutak mite, enna hote, na tel khe ding; huchibangte a tunguah na koih ding, sang tampi vaihawmte, za tampi vaihawmte, sawmnga tampi vaihawmte leh, sawm tampite vaihawmte hi dingin:

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:

²²Huan hun tengtengin mite vaihawm sak uhen: huan hichi ahi ding. thu lian chiteng nang kiang a tun ding ua, thu neu chiteng bel amau a ngaihtuah ding uh: huchiin nanga dingin a baihlam jaw dinga, huan puakgik a honpuak pih ding uh.

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.

²³Hiai thil na hiha, huchibang Pathianin thu a honpiak leh, huaichiangin na pang zou dinga, hiai mite leng lungdamin a mun uah a pai ding uh, a chi a.

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.

²⁴Huchiin Mosiin a sungpa aw a ngaihkhetaa, a gen tengteng a hihta hi.

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

²⁵Israelte tengteng akipanin Mosiin mi hitheite a tel khiaa, mite tunga lutangin a bawlta, sang tampite vaihawmte, za tampite vaihawmte, sawmnga tampite vaihawmte leh sawm tampite vaihawmtein.

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.

²⁶Huan hun tengtengin mite vai a hawmsak uh: thu haksate Mosi kiangah a tun ua, thu neu chik bel amau a ngaihtuah uh.Huchiin Mosiin a sungpa a paisaka; amah gam lamah a pai vengveng hi.

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

²⁷Huchiin Mosiin a sungpa a paisaka; amah gam lamah a pai vengveng hi.

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