2 Hou Olelesu 19

1 Hina bagade Yihosiafa: de da se mae nabawane, ea Yelusaleme diasua hahawane buhagi.

And Josaphat king of Juda returned to his house at Jerusalem.

2 Balofede dunu ea dio amo Yihiu, da e ba: musa: asili, ema amane sia: i, “Di adi dawa: bela: ? Di da wadela: i hamosu dunu fidimu amola dunu amo da Hina Gode higasa, amo ilima gamu da defeala: ? Dia hamobeba: le, Hina Gode da dima ougisa.

And there went out to meet him Jeu the prophet the son of Anani, and said to him, King Josaphat, do you help a sinner, or act friendly towards one hated of the Lord? Therefore has wrath come upon you from the Lord.

3 Be dia hou amo ganodini da fonobahadi noga: i hou gala. Bai di da uda ogogosu ‘gode’ Asila ema sia: ne gadoma: ne loboga hamoi liligi huluane gugunufinisi dagoi. Amola di da Gode Ea hanai hou amo fa: no bobogemusa: logo hogosu.”

Nevertheless [some] good things have been found in you, forasmuch as you did remove the groves from the land of Juda, and did direct your heart to seek after the Lord.

4 Yihosiafa: de da Yelusalemega esalu. Be e da eso bagohame amoga Yuda soge ganodini, ea fi dunu ba: musa: sofe ahoasu. Ea soge da ga (south) Biasiba moilai bai bagade asili Ifala: ime soge ga (north) gala. E da ea fi dunu ilia aowalalia Hina Godema bu sinidigima: ne ilima sia: i.

And Josaphat lived in Jerusalem: and he again went out among the people from Bersabee to the mount of Ephraim, and turned them back to the Lord God of their fathers.

5 E da Yuda gagili sali moilai bai bagade afae afae amo ganodini fofada: su dunu ilegei.

And he appointed judges in all the strong cities of Juda, city by city.

6 E da ilima amane hamoma: ne sia: i, “Dilia gebewane amola dawa: iwane fofada: su hou hamoma. Dilia da osobo bagade dunu ilegeiba: le, hame fofada: sa. Be dilia da Hina Gode Ea ilegeiba: le, fofada: sa. Amola dilia da fofada: sea, Hina Gode da dili esala.

And he said to the judges, Take good heed what you do: for you judge not for man, but for the Lord, and with you are matters of judgment.

7 Hina Godema nodoma amola dawa: iwane hamoma! Bai ninia Hina Gode da ogogosu hou amola hano suligi hou amola hina: fima baligili asigi hou, amo huluane Gode Ea higa: i hodosa.”

And now let the fear of the Lord be upon you, and be wary, and do [your duty]: for there is no unrighteousness with the Lord our God, neither [is it for him] to respect persons, nor take bribes.

8 Yihosiafa: de da Yelusaleme ganodini fofada: su hawa: hamoma: ne, Lifai fi dunu, gobele salasu dunu amola eno mimogo dunu, ilegei. Yuda dunu da Hina Gode Ea Sema wadela: beba: le o soge sia: ga gegeiba: le, amo dunu da fofada: su hou hamosu.

Moreover Josaphat appointed in Jerusalem some of the priests, and Levites, and heads of houses of Israel, for the judgment of the Lord, and to judge the dwellers in Jerusalem.

9 Yihosiafa: de da ilima amane hamoma: ne sia: i, “Dilia Hina Godema nodonewane hawa: hamoma. Dilia hawa: hamosu huluane amo ganodini, Ea hamoma: ne sia: i noga: le fa: no bobogema.

And he charged them, saying, Thus shall you do in the fear of the Lord, in truth and with a perfect heart.

10 Dilia fi dunu da medole legesu hou o eno Gode Ea Sema giadofasu hou dilima fofada: musa: masea, ilia Hina Godema wadela: le hamosa: besa: le, ilia fofada: su ganodini hou noga: idafa hamoma: ne, ilima olelema. Dilia agoane hame hamosea, Hina Gode Ea ougidafa hou ba: mu. Be dilia hawa: dawa: iwane hamosea, se hame nabimu.

Whatsoever man of your brethren that dwell in their cities [shall bring] the cause that comes before you, between blood [and] blood, and between precept and commandment, and ordinances and judgments, you shall even decide for them; so they shall not sin against the Lord, and there shall not be wrath upon you, and upon your brethren: thus you shall do, and you shall not sin.

11 Gobele salasu ouligisudafa, A:malaia da Godema sia: ne gadosu fofada: su amola Gode Ea Sema amoma fofada: su amo huluane ouligimu. Amola Yuda fi eagene ouligisudafa, Sebadaia (Isiama: iele egefe), e da dunudafa ilia osobo bagade fofada: su hou ouligimu. Amola Lifai fi dunu, da fofada: su ganodini sia: i liligi huluane didili hamoma: ne ouligimu. Mae beda: iwane, amo hamoma: ne sia: i liligi didili hamoma! Amola Hina Gode da moloidafa hou amoma gama: mu.”

And, behold, Amarias the priest is head over you in every matter of the Lord; and Zabdias the son of Ismael is head over the house of Juda in every matter of the king; and the scribes and Levites are before you: be strong and active, and the Lord shall be with the good.
