Commentary on Harmony of the Law Volume 1 Complete John Calvin
JOHN CALVIN
11. (The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)
11. Jehova Deus patrum vestrorum addat super vos sicut estis, mille vicibus, et benedicat vobis quemadmodum loquutus est vobis.
12. How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
12. Quomodo feram solus laborem vestrum, et onus vestrum, et lites vestras.
13. Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
13. Date ex vobis viros sapientes et intelligentes, et peritos e tribubus vestris, ut praeficiam illos vobis.
14. And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.
14. Et respondistis mihi atque dixistis, Bona res est quam dixisti ut faciamus.
15. So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
15. Tulique principes tribuum vestrarum, viros sapientes et peritos, ac constitui eos principes super vos, tribunos, et centuriones, et quinquagenarios, et decuriones, et praefectos tribubus vestris.
16. And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
16. Atque praecepi judicibus vestris tempore illo, dicendo, Audite inter fratres vestros, et judicate juste inter virum et fratrem suum, et inter peregrinum ejus.
