Kuva 18:1-27
18 Yetiro umutambyi w’i Midiyani akaba na papa w’umugore wa Mose,+ yumva ibintu byose Imana yakoreye Mose n’Abisirayeli n’uko Yehova yakuye Abisirayeli muri Egiputa.+
2 Zipora umugore wa Mose yari asigaye aba kwa papa we Yetiro, kuko Mose yari yaramwohereje iwabo,
3 akajyana n’abahungu be bombi.+ Umwe muri bo Mose yamwise Gerushomu*+ avuga ati: “Ni ukubera ko nabaye umwimukira mu gihugu cy’amahanga.”
4 Undi yamwise Eliyezeri* avuga ati: “Ni ukubera ko Imana ya papa ari yo imfasha, kuko yankijije inkota ya Farawo.”+
5 Nuko Yetiro, ari we papa w’umugore wa Mose, ajyana abahungu ba Mose n’umugore we asanga Mose mu butayu aho yari ashinze ihema, ku musozi w’Imana y’ukuri.+
6 Atuma kuri Mose ati: “Njyewe sobukwe Yetiro+ nje aho uri kandi nzanye n’umugore wawe n’abahungu bawe bombi.”
7 Mose abyumvise ahita ajya gusanganira papa w’umugore we, aramwunamira maze aramusoma. Nuko batangira kubazanya amakuru, barangije binjira mu ihema.
8 Mose abwira Yetiro ibyo Yehova yakoreye Farawo n’Abanyegiputa byose abahora Abisirayeli,+ n’ingorane zose bahuye na zo mu rugendo+ n’uko Yehova yagiye abakiza.
9 Yetiro ashimishwa cyane n’ibyiza byose Yehova yakoreye Abisirayeli, igihe yabarokoraga akabakura muri Egiputa.*
10 Nuko Yetiro aravuga ati: “Yehova nasingizwe, we wabarokoye akabakura muri Egiputa, akabakiza Farawo kandi akarokora abantu be, akabakiza Abanyegiputa babakandamizaga.
11 Ubu noneho menye ko Yehova akomeye kuruta izindi mana zose,+ kubera ibyo yakoreye Abanyegiputa bagiriye nabi Abisirayeli babitewe n’ubwibone.”
12 Hanyuma Yetiro, ari we papa w’umugore wa Mose, azana igitambo gitwikwa n’umuriro n’ibindi bitambo byo gutambira Imana. Nuko Aroni n’abayobozi b’Abisirayeli bose baza gusangira na papa w’umugore wa Mose, bari imbere y’Imana y’ukuri.
13 Bukeye bwaho Mose aricara nk’uko byari bisanzwe kugira ngo acire abantu imanza, kandi abantu bahoraga bahagaze imbere ye kuva mu gitondo kugeza nimugoroba.
14 Yetiro abonye ibyo Mose yakoreraga abantu byose aramubaza ati: “Uwo murimo ukorera abantu ni umurimo umeze ute? Kuki wicara wenyine maze abantu bose bakaza bagahagarara imbere yawe kuva mu gitondo kugeza nimugoroba?”
15 Mose asubiza Yetiro ati: “Ni uko abantu bakomeza kuza aho ndi ngo mbabarize Imana.
16 Iyo bafite urubanza bararunzanira nkabakiranura kandi nkabamenyesha imyanzuro y’Imana y’ukuri n’amategeko yayo.”+
17 Yetiro abwira Mose ati: “Uburyo ukoresha si bwiza.
18 Uzinaniza, unanize n’aba bantu muri kumwe kuko uyu murimo ukora urenze ubushobozi bwawe. Ntushobora kuwukora wenyine.
19 None rero, ntega amatwi nkugire inama kandi Imana izabana nawe.+ Wowe ukomeze kujya uhagararira abantu imbere y’Imana y’ukuri+ kandi uzajye uyibwira imanza zabo.+
20 Ujye ubigisha amabwiriza n’amategeko,+ ubamenyeshe ibyo bagomba kubahiriza n’ibyo bagomba gukora.
21 Ariko utoranye mu bantu bose abagabo bashoboye,+ batinya Imana, abagabo biringirwa, batemera guhemuka kugira ngo babone inyungu,+ ubagire abayobozi b’abaturage. Bamwe bayobore abantu 1.000, abandi bayobore abantu 100, abandi bayobore abantu 50, abandi bayobore abantu 10.+
22 Bajye bacira abantu imanza igihe cyose bibaye ngombwa. Bajye bakuzanira imanza zikomeye+ ariko imanza zoroheje bo ubwabo bajye bazica. Iyorohereze imirimo maze na bo bajye bagufasha kwikorera uwo mutwaro.+
23 Nubigenza utyo kandi bikaba bihuje n’ibyo Imana ishaka, uzashobora gusohoza uyu murimo, n’aba bantu bose bazajya basubira iwabo banyuzwe.”
24 Mose ahita yumvira inama ya Yetiro, akora ibyo yamubwiye byose.
25 Nuko Mose atoranya mu Bisirayeli bose abagabo bashoboye maze abagira abayobozi b’abaturage. Bamwe bayobora abantu 1.000, abandi bayobora abantu 100, abandi bayobora abantu 50, abandi bayobora abantu 10.
26 Baciraga abantu imanza igihe cyose byabaga ari ngombwa. Imanza zikomeye zose bazizaniraga Mose+ ariko imanza zose zoroheje ni bo ubwabo bazicaga.
27 Hanyuma Mose asezerera Yetiro+ maze aragenda asubira mu gihugu cye.
