By every great situation they will bring to you, Jethro is recommending that the new leaders should pass the most difficult cases to Moses for him to judge them. If your readers would not understand what this image means in this context, you could use an equivalent metaphor from your culture. Alternatively, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the difficult cases they will tell you about] or [when there are difficult cases, they will tell you about them so you could judge them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠הָקֵל֙ מֵֽ⁠עָלֶ֔י⁠ךָ וְ⁠נָשְׂא֖וּ אִתָּֽ⁠ךְ

and,lighten from,on,yourself (Some words not found in UHB: and,they_will_judge DOM the,people in=all times and=it_was all/each/any/every (the),matter the=big/great(sg) bring to,you and=all (the),matter the=small(sg) judge they and,lighten from,on,yourself and,they_will_bear with,you )

Jethro speaks of the hard work that they would do as if it were something that they would carry beside Moses and make lighter for Moses by helping him. If your readers would not understand what this image means in this context, you could use an equivalent metaphor from your culture. Alternatively, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and lessen your work by having them do the hard work with you] or [and make your work easier by having them help you do the hard work]
