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.

daß sie das Volk allezeit richten; wo aber eine große Sache ist, daß sie dieselbe an dich bringen, und sie alle geringen Sachen richten. So wird dir's leichter werden, und sie werden mit dir tragen.
Los cuales juzgarán al pueblo en todo tiempo; y será que todo negocio grave lo traerán a ti, y ellos juzgarán todo negocio pequeño: alivia así la carga de sobre ti, y llevarla han ellos contigo.
Que ellos juzguen al pueblo en todo momento. Que te traigan todo asunto importante y que juzguen ellos mismos todo asunto menor. Así aliviarás tu carga, y ellos la llevarán contigo.
Qu'ils jugent le peuple en tout temps; qu'ils portent devant toi toutes les affaires importantes, et qu'ils prononcent eux-mêmes sur les petites causes. Allège ta charge, et qu'ils la portent avec toi.
E rendano essi ragione al popolo in ogni tempo; e rapportino a te ogni grande affare; ma giudichino ogni piccolo affare. Così ti sgraverai del carico che hai addosso, ed essi lo porteranno teco. Se tu fai questa cosa,
Para que julguem este povo em todo o tempo; e seja que todo o negócio grave tragam a ti, mas todo o negócio pequeno eles o julguem; assim a ti mesmo te aliviarás da carga, e eles a levarão contigo.
他們要隨時審判百姓;重大的事要送到你這裏,小事就由他們自行判決。這樣,你就可以輕省一些,他們可以與你分擔。
