LXX	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 ηκουσεν δε ιοθορ ο ιερευς μαδιαμ ο γαμβρος μωυση παντα οσα εποιησεν κυριος ισραηλ τω εαυτου λαω εξηγαγεν γαρ κυριος τον ισραηλ εξ αιγυπτου	1 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 ελαβεν δε ιοθορ ο γαμβρος μωυση σεπφωραν την γυναικα μωυση μετα την αφεσιν αυτης	2 Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,
3 και τους δυο υιους αυτου ονομα τω ενι αυτων γηρσαμ λεγων παροικος ημην εν γη αλλοτρια	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 και το ονομα του δευτερου ελιεζερ λεγων ο γαρ θεος του πατρος μου βοηθος μου και εξειλατο με εκ χειρος φαραω	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 και εξηλθεν ιοθορ ο γαμβρος μωυση και οι υιοι και η γυνη προς μωυσην εις την ερημον ου παρενεβαλεν επ' ορους του θεου	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 ανηγγελη δε μωυσει λεγοντες ιδου ο γαμβρος σου ιοθορ παραγινεται προς σε και η γυνη και οι δυο υιοι σου μετ' αυτου	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 εξηλθεν δε μωυσης εις συναντησιν τω γαμβρω αυτου και προσεκυνησεν αυτω και εφιλησεν αυτον και ησπασαντο αλληλους και εισηγαγεν αυτον εις την σκηνην	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 και διηγησατο μωυσης τω γαμβρω παντα οσα εποιησεν κυριος τω φαραω και τοις αιγυπτιοις ενεκεν του ισραηλ και παντα τον μοχθον τον γενομενον αυτοις εν τη οδω και οτι εξειλατο αυτους κυριος εκ χειρος φαραω και εκ χειρος των αιγυπτιων	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 εξεστη δε ιοθορ επι πασι τοις αγαθοις οις εποιησεν αυτοις κυριος οτι εξειλατο αυτους εκ χειρος αιγυπτιων και εκ χειρος φαραω	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 και ειπεν ιοθορ ευλογητος κυριος οτι εξειλατο τον λαον αυτου εκ χειρος αιγυπτιων και εκ χειρος φαραω	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 νυν εγνων οτι μεγας κυριος παρα παντας τους θεους ενεκεν τουτου οτι επεθεντο αυτοις	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 και ελαβεν ιοθορ ο γαμβρος μωυση ολοκαυτωματα και θυσιας τω θεω παρεγενετο δε ααρων και παντες οι πρεσβυτεροι ισραηλ συμφαγειν αρτον μετα του γαμβρου μωυση εναντιον του θεου	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 και εγενετο μετα την επαυριον συνεκαθισεν μωυσης κρινειν τον λαον παρειστηκει δε πας ο λαος μωυσει απο πρωιθεν εως εσπερας	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 και ιδων ιοθορ παντα οσα εποιει τω λαω λεγει τι τουτο ο συ ποιεις τω λαω δια τι συ καθησαι μονος πας δε ο λαος παρεστηκεν σοι απο πρωιθεν εως δειλης	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 και λεγει μωυσης τω γαμβρω οτι παραγινεται προς με ο λαος εκζητησαι κρισιν παρα του θεου	15 And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to inquire of God:
16 οταν γαρ γενηται αυτοις αντιλογια και ελθωσι προς με διακρινω εκαστον και συμβιβαζω αυτους τα προσταγματα του θεου και τον νομον αυτου	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 ειπεν δε ο γαμβρος μωυση προς αυτον ουκ ορθως συ ποιεις το ρημα τουτο	17 And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.
18 φθορα καταφθαρηση ανυπομονητω και συ και πας ο λαος ουτος ος εστιν μετα σου βαρυ σοι το ρημα τουτο ου δυνηση ποιειν μονος	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 νυν ουν ακουσον μου και συμβουλευσω σοι και εσται ο θεος μετα σου γινου συ τω λαω τα προς τον θεον και ανοισεις τους λογους αυτων προς τον θεον	19 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to Godward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:
20 και διαμαρτυρη αυτοις τα προσταγματα του θεου και τον νομον αυτου και σημανεις αυτοις τας οδους εν αις πορευσονται εν αυταις και τα εργα α ποιησουσιν	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 και συ σεαυτω σκεψαι απο παντος του λαου ανδρας δυνατους θεοσεβεις ανδρας δικαιους μισουντας υπερηφανιαν και καταστησεις αυτους επ' αυτων χιλιαρχους και εκατονταρχους και πεντηκονταρχους και δεκαδαρχους	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 και κρινουσιν τον λαον πασαν ωραν το δε ρημα το υπερογκον ανοισουσιν επι σε τα δε βραχεα των κριματων κρινουσιν αυτοι και κουφιουσιν απο σου και συναντιλημψονται σοι	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 εαν το ρημα τουτο ποιησης κατισχυσει σε ο θεος και δυνηση παραστηναι και πας ο λαος ουτος εις τον εαυτου τοπον μετ' ειρηνης ηξει	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 ηκουσεν δε μωυσης της φωνης του γαμβρου και εποιησεν οσα αυτω ειπεν	24 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said.
25 και επελεξεν μωυσης ανδρας δυνατους απο παντος ισραηλ και εποιησεν αυτους επ' αυτων χιλιαρχους και εκατονταρχους και πεντηκονταρχους και δεκαδαρχους	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 και εκρινοσαν τον λαον πασαν ωραν παν δε ρημα υπερογκον ανεφεροσαν επι μωυσην παν δε ρημα ελαφρον εκρινοσαν αυτοι	26 And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
27 εξαπεστειλεν δε μωυσης τον εαυτου γαμβρον και απηλθεν εις την γην αυτου	27 And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land.
