21 But do thou provide among all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place {them} over them, chiefs of thousands, chiefs of hundreds, chiefs of fifties, and chiefs of tens,

22 that they may judge the people at all times; and it shall be {that} they shall bring to thee every great matter, and that they shall judge every small matter, and they shall lighten {the task} on thee, and they shall bear {it} with thee.

21 Mau ano hoki e titiro i roto i te iwi katoa etahi tangata maia, e wehi ana i te Atua; hei te hunga pono, e kino ana ki te apo; ka waiho ai hei rangatira mo ratou, hei rangatira mo nga mano, hei rangatira mo nga rau, hei rangatira mo nga rima tek au, hei rangatira mo nga tekau:

22 A ma ratou te iwi e whakawa i nga wa katoa: a ko nga mea nunui katoa, me kawe mai ki a koe; ko nga mea nohinohi katoa ia, ma ratou e whakarite: penei ka mama koe, a ma koutou tahi te pikaunga.
