Exode 18:22

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.

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Et qu'ils jugent le peuple en tout temps; s'il y a de grandes affaires, qu'ils te les rapportent; mais qu'ils jugent eux-męmes toutes les petites causes. Allčge ton fardeau, et qu'ils le portent avec toi.
Darby's French Translation
et qu'ils jugent le peuple en tout temps: et il arrivera qu'ils porteront devant toi toutes les grandes affaires, et toutes les petites affaires ils les jugeront eux-męmes. Tu allégeras ce qui pčse sur toi; ils le porteront avec toi.
La Bible David Martin (1744)
Et qu'ils jugent le peuple en tout temps, mais qu'ils te rapportent toutes les grandes affaires, et qu'ils jugent toutes les petites causes; ainsi ils te soulageront, et porteront une partie [de la charge] avec toi.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And let them judge the people at all times,.... In their several districts, whenever a matter of difference between man and man arises, and the case is brought before them, let them judge impartially between them, and determine what is right and wrong, and execute judgment and justice truly; which would take off a great deal of business from the hands of Moses:

and it shall be that every great matter they shall bring to thee; any affair of great importance, and difficult of determination, and about which the judges may have some doubt in their minds, and they are not clear as to the decision of it; this, they the judges, not the people, were to bring to Moses:

but every small matter; which is of no great importance, or is easy of decision, where the right and the wrong clearly appear, and there is no difficulty in the determination of it:

so shall it be easier for thyself; to go through the business that would be necessarily devolved upon him, as the chief ruler and governor, supreme judge, lawgiver, leader, and commander:

and they shall bear the burden with thee; of ruling and judging the people; they taking a share of it, it would sit the lighter and easier upon him; and the whole seems to be wise and prudent counsel.
