2 Khokhuen 19
1 Judah manghai Jehoshaphat tah Jerusalem kah amah im la sading la mael.
And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
2 Tedae Hanani capa khohmu Jehu tah a maelhmai hmuh hamla cet tih manghai Jehoshaphat te, “Halang te Bom hamla om a? BOEIPA kah a hmuhuet te na lungnah. Te dongah BOEIPA mikhmuh lamkah a thinhul he nang soah tla saeh.
And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate Yhwh? therefore is wrath upon thee from before Yhwh.
3 Tedae khohmuen lamkah Asherah te na hlup tih Pathen toem hamla na thinko na cikngae sak dongah na khuiah hno then la a hmuh uh,” a ti nah.
Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek God.
4 Te phoeiah Jehoshaphat tah Jerusalem ah kho a sak. Te phoeiah mael tih pilnam te Beersheba lamloh Ephraim tlang duela a hip phoeiah tah amih te a napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA taengla a mael puei.
And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the people from Beer–sheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto Yhwh God of their fathers.
5 Judah kah aka cak khopuei boeih kah khopuei, khopuei ah khohmuen kah laitloek rhoek te a khueh.
And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city,
6 Te phoeiah laitloek rhoek te, “Hlang ham pawt tih BOEIPA ham lai na tloek uh dongah mebang na saii khaw hmu uh. Nangmih taengah laitloeknah ol neh om coeng.
And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for Yhwh, who is with you in the judgment.
7 BOEIPA dongah birhihnah te nangmih ah om pawn saeh. Ngaithuen lamtah saii uh. Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA tah dumlai neh, maelhmai dannah, kapbaih lohnah neh a om moenih,” a ti nah.
Wherefore now let the fear of Yhwh be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with Yhwh our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.
8 Te phoeiah Jehoshaphat loh Levi neh khosoih rhoek lamkah khaw, Israel kah a napa boeilu rhoek khui lamkah khaw BOEIPA kah laitloeknah ham neh tuituknah vaengkah ham Jerusalem ah a khueh bal tih Jerusalem la mael uh.
Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of Yhwh, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem.
9 Amih te khaw te a uen tih, “BOEIPA hinyahnah neh, uepomnah neh thinko rhuemtuet la bi saii uh tangloeng.
And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of Yhwh, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
10 Nangmih taengla aka pawk tuituknah boeih tah kho takuem kah, khosa na manuca taeng lamkah khaw, thii neh thii laklo ah, olkhueng neh olpaek bangla, oltlueh neh laitloeknah bangla amih te thuituen uh lamtah BOEIPA taengah boe uh boel saeh. Te dongah nangmih so neh na manuca soah a thinhulnah om ve. Te te na vai uh daengah ni na boe uh pawt eh.
And what cause soever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against Yhwh, and so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass.
11 BOEIPA kah olka cungkuem dongah khosoih Amariah tah nangmih kah boeilu coeng ni ne. Manghai kah olka cungkuem dongah khaw Ishmael capa Zebadiah tah Judah imkhui kah rhaengsang la om coeng. Nangmih mikhmuh kah Levi rhoiboei rhoek khaw thaahuel uh lamtah saii uh. BOEIPA loh hnothen neh n'om puei saeh,” a ti nah.
And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of Yhwh; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king’s matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, And Yhwh shall be with the good.
