2 Thusimbu 19
1 Hiche jouhin Judah lengpa Jehoshaphat hi, Jerusalem ain mun langa damsellin akinung letan ahi.
Once Jehoshaphat had arrived safely home 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.
Jehu, son of Hanani, the seer went out to face him. He said to King Jehoshaphat, “Why are you helping the wicked? Why do you love those who hate the Lord? The Lord is angry with you because of this.
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.
Even so you've done some good things such as destroying the Asherah poles throughout the country, and you have made a sincere commitment to follow God.”
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.
Jehoshaphat continued living in Jerusalem, and once again he traveled among the people, from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim, to encourage them to serve 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.
He appointed judges throughout the country, in all of the fortified towns of Judah.
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.”
He told the judges, “Be careful about what you're doing as judges, because you're not looking for the approval of people, but the approval of the Lord. He is the One with you when you give your verdict.
7 “Pathen jana neitah le chingthei tahin tongun, ajeh chu i-Pathen uhin joulhepna, langneina chule nehguh bol hi athet ahi,” ati.
So then, be sure to have reverence for God, obeying him and doing what he wants, for God does not permit any kind of injustice, favoritism, or bribery.”
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 in Jerusalem some of the Levites, priests, and family heads to act as judges regarding the law of Lord and to settle disputes. They were to have their courts in Jerusalem.
9 Hitichun aman thupeh aneiyin, “Nanghon Pathen jana neitah leh lungthim kitahna neija thu natandiu ahi,” ati.
He gave them these orders, “You must honor God, and act with faithfulness and complete commitment.
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.
In every case that comes before you from your people living in other towns, whether it involves murder or violations of the law, commandment, statutes, or judgments, you are to warn them not to offend the Lord so that punishment does not come upon you and your people. If you do this you will not be held guilty.
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.
Amariah, the chief priest, will make the final decision for you in everything that relates to the Lord, and Zebadiah, son of Ishmael, the leader of the tribe of Judah, in all that relates to the king. The Levites will serve as officers to assist you. Be firm, and may the Lord be with those who do what is right.”
