21 Além disto procurarás dentre o povo homens capazes, tementes a Deus, homens de verdade, que aborrecem a avareza; a estes porás sobre eles por maiorais de mil, maiorais de cem, maiorais de cinqüenta e maiorais de dez;

22 e julguem estes ao povo em todo o tempo. Toda a causa grave a trarão a ti, mas toda a causa pequena a julgarão eles mesmos; assim será mais leve para ti, e eles levarão a carga contigo.

21 And thou -- thou dost provide out of all the people men of ability, fearing God, men of truth, hating dishonest gain, and hast placed [these] over them, heads of thousands, heads of hundreds, heads of fifties, and heads of tens,

22 and they have judged the people at all times; and it hath come to pass, every great matter they bring in unto thee, and every small matter they judge themselves; and lighten it from off thyself, and they have borne with thee.
