【出18:19】

[和合本] 现在你要听我的话，我为你出个主意，愿 神与你同在。你要替百姓到 神面前，将案件奏告 神；

[文理本] 我進一策、其聽我言、願上帝偕爾、汝向上帝、為民代表、而呈其事於上帝、

[KJV] 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:

【出18:20】

[和合本] 又要将律例和法度教训他们，指示他们当行的道、当作的事；

[文理本] 教以典章法度、示以必由之道、當為之事、

[KJV] 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.

【出18:21】

[和合本] 并要从百姓中拣选有才能的人，就是敬畏 神、诚实无妄、恨不义之财的人，派他们作千夫长、百夫长、五十夫长、十夫长，管理百姓。

[文理本] 於眾民中、簡其具有才能、寅畏上帝、尚誠實、惡不義之財者、立為千夫長、百夫長、五十夫長、十夫長、以治民、

[KJV] 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:

【出18:22】

[和合本] 叫他们随时审判百姓，大事都要呈到你这里，小事他们自己可以审判。这样，你就轻省些，他们也可以同当此任。

[文理本] 使其隨時鞫民、事大則呈爾、事小則自鞫、如是、彼與汝共任、而爾事輕矣、

[KJV] 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.
