Exodus 18:15-19
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 18
15
Moses said to his father-in-law, 'Because the people come to me to inquire of God.
16
When they have a dispute, it comes to me, and I judge between someone and his neighbor and make known the statutes of God and His laws.'
17
Moses’ father-in-law then said to him, 'The thing that you are doing is not good.
18
You will surely wear out, both yourself and these people who are with you, because the task is too heavy for you; you cannot do it alone.
19
Now listen to me: I will give you counsel, and God be with you. You be the people’s representative before God, and you bring the disputes to God,
King James Version
Chapter 18
15
And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:
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
And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.
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
Hearken 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:
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 18
15
Moses replied to his father-in-law, "Because the people come to me to inquire of God.
16
Whenever they have a dispute, it comes to me, and I make a decision between one man and another. I teach them God’s statutes and laws."
17
"What you’re doing is not good," Moses’s father-in-law said to him.
18
"You will certainly wear out both yourself and these people who are with you, because the task is too heavy for you. You can’t do it alone.
19
Now listen to me; I will give you some advice, and God be with you. You be the one to represent the people before God and bring their cases to him.
New Living Translation
Chapter 18
15
Moses replied, 'Because the people come to me to get a ruling from God.
16
When a dispute arises, they come to me, and I am the one who settles the case between the quarreling parties. I inform the people of God’s decrees and give them his instructions.'
17
This is not good!' Moses’ father-in-law exclaimed.
18
You’re going to wear yourself out — and the people, too. This job is too heavy a burden for you to handle all by yourself.
19
Now listen to me, and let me give you a word of advice, and may God be with you. You should continue to be the people’s representative before God, bringing their disputes to him.
English Standard Version
Chapter 18
15
And Moses said to his father-in-law, "Because the people come to me to inquire of God;
16
when they have a dispute, they come to me and I decide between one person and another, and I make them know the statutes of God and his laws."
17
Moses ' father-in-law said to him, "What you are doing is not good.
18
You and the people with you will certainly wear yourselves out, for the thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to do it alone.
19
Now obey my voice; I will give you advice, and God be with you! You shall represent the people before God and bring their cases to God,
New International Version
Chapter 18
15
Moses answered him, "Because the people come to me to seek God’s will.
16
Whenever they have a dispute, it is brought to me, and I decide between the parties and inform them of God’s decrees and instructions."
17
Moses’ father-in-law replied, "What you are doing is not good.
18
You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone.
19
Listen now to me and I will give you some advice, and may God be with you. You must be the people’s representative before God and bring their disputes to him.
New King James Version
Chapter 18
15
And Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to inquire of God.
16
When they have a difficulty, they come to me, and I judge between one and another; and I make known the statutes of God and His laws.”
17
So Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “The thing that you do
is
not good.
18
Both you and these people who
are
with you will surely wear yourselves out. For this thing
is
too much for you; you are not able to perform it by yourself.
19
Listen now to my voice; I will give you counsel, and God will be with you: Stand before God for the people, so that you may bring the difficulties to God.
