2 Thusimbu 19

1 Hiche jouhin Judah lengpa Jehoshaphat hi, Jerusalem ain mun langa damsellin akinung letan ahi.

Then Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, returned in peace to his house in Jerusalem.

2 Hanani chapa themgao Jehu chu lengpatoh kimuton achen hitin agaseijin ahi, “Miphalou panpileh Pakai doujing ho langa pan lah hi dih nasah hinam?” Hijeh chun nachunga Pakai alunghangtan ahi.

And the seer Jehu, the son of Hanani, met him, and said to him: “You offer assistance to the impious, and you are joined in friendship with those who hate the Lord. And for this reason, you certainly deserve the wrath of the Lord.

3 Ahijeng vang'in nachunga hin naphat na phabep akimudoh in ahi, ajeh chu nangin mipihon anahou’u Asherah doilim thinga kisem ho napaidoh in; chuleh nalung thim in Pathen lungdeilam holnomna naneijin ahi.

But good works have been found in you. For you have taken away the sacred groves from the land of Judah. And you have prepared your heart, so as to seek the Lord, the God of your fathers.”

4 Hiti hin Jehoshaphat hi Jerusalem a apansan, chule amahi akipatdoh in Beersheba’a kon in Ephraim lhang geijin aga cheovin; hitichun mipiho chu apu apa teu Pathen henga apuilut kit in ahi.

Then Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem. And again he went out to the people, from Beersheba as far as mount Ephraim. And he called them back to the Lord, the God of their fathers.

5 Hichejou chun Jehoshaphat in kul kikai khum kho piho jousea chun, thutan vaihom ho akoisoh keijin ahi.

And he appointed judges of the land, in all the fortified cities of Judah, in each place.

6 Aman thutan vaihom hochu ahilchah in, “Nakin natoh nauvahin chingtheijun, ajeh chu nangho mihem adia thutan nahi pouve, Pathen dinga joh thutan nahiu ahi.”

And instructing the judges, he said: “Pay attention to what you are doing. For you exercise judgment, not of man, but of the Lord. And whatever you will have judged, it will come back to you.

7 “Pathen jana neitah le chingthei tahin tongun, ajeh chu i-Pathen uhin joulhepna, langneina chule nehguh bol hi athet ahi,” ati.

Let the fear of the Lord be with you, and do all things with diligence. For there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor desire for gifts.”

8 Hichechung chonchun aman Jerusalem Pakai dan sukeh ho chunga thutan dingin, Jehoshaphat in Levi hole thempu ho chule Israel mipa holah a athupicheh Jerusalem a hung kile hochu apansah in ahi.

Jehoshaphat also appointed Levites and priests and leaders of families, out of Israel, in Jerusalem, so that they might judge the judgment and purpose of the Lord for its inhabitants.

9 Hitichun aman thupeh aneiyin, “Nanghon Pathen jana neitah leh lungthim kitahna neija thu natandiu ahi,” ati.

And he instructed them, saying, “So shall you act: faithfully, in the fear of the Lord, and with a perfect heart.

10 “Khopi mi nachen khompi khopi khat a kona tolthat thu hihen lang dan khat touleh thupeh khat tou sukeh hijongleh, Pathen dounaa chonset abol louna dinga chingthei tah a pan alahna ding in thupeh aneiyin ahi. Hitia chu nabol louva ahileh, nachung uva Pathen lunghanna chuding ahi. Amavang natoh diudol phatah a natohuva ahileh themmo nachan loudiu ahi,” atipeh e.

Every case that will come to you from your brothers, who live in their cities, between kindred and kindred, wherever there is a question concerning law, commandment, ceremonies, or justifications, reveal it to them, so that they may not sin against the Lord, and so that wrath may not overwhelm you and your brothers. Then, by acting in this way, you will not sin.

11 Houlam thudol jousea thempulen Amariah hi thaneipen hiding, chuleh Judah gam vaipo Ishmeal chapa Zedekiah hi mipiholah a thutan dia; athaneipen hiding ahi. Levite hin thu kitanna jouse hi iti chelhahnam ti avetsuiding, hangsan tah in thu kapeh hi tong doh un, Pakaiyin thudih'a thu kitanna jouse apanpi ding ahi! ati.

But Amariah, a priest and your high priest, shall preside over those things which pertain to God. Then Zebadiah, the son of Ishmael, who is a ruler in the house of Judah, shall be over those works that pertain to the office of the king. And you have before you the Levites as teachers. Be strengthened and act diligently, and the Lord will be with you for what is good.”
