1 Judah siangpahrang Jehoshaphat teh, karoumcalah Jerusalem a im vah a ban.
Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
2 Hatei Hanani capa Jehu ni a dawn teh, siangpahrang koevah, Tamikathoutnaw na kabawp teh, BAWIPA kamaithoenaw na pahren han na maw. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA lungkhueknae teh nang dawk ao.
Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, "Should you help the wicked, and love those who hate YHWH? Because of this, wrath is on you from before YHWH.
3 Hatei, ram thung e thingmeikaphawknaw na raphoe teh, BAWIPA na tawng dawkvah, hawinae lamthung teh na tawn rah, telah atipouh.
Nevertheless there are good things found in you, in that you have put away the Asheroth out of the land, and have set your heart to seek God."
4 Jehoshaphat teh Jerusalem vah ao. Hahoi Beersheba teh Ephraim mon totouh a taminaw koe a cei teh, mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut koe a bankhai.
Jehoshaphat lived at Jerusalem: and he went out again among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim, and brought them back to YHWH, the God of their fathers.
5 Judah ram thung rapan ka tawn e kho tangkuem dawk, lawkcengkungnaw a hruek.
He set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,
6 Lawkcengkungnaw koe, na sak e hno kahawicalah pouk laihoi sak awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, taminaw koe lawk na ceng e nahoeh. BAWIPA hane doeh, lawk na ceng awh navah nangmouh koe ao van.
and said to the judges, "Consider what you do: for you do not judge for man, but for YHWH; and he is with you in the judgment.
7 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA takinae lungthin tawn awh nateh, kâhruetcuet laihoi sak awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, maimae BAWIPA Cathut teh, payonpakainae, tami kapeknae hoi tadawnghno awm hoeh, atipouh.
Now therefore let the fear of YHWH be on you. Take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with YHWH our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes."
8 Hothloilah Jerusalem vah, BAWIPA e lawkcengnae hoi kâtoe nah lawkceng hanelah, Jehoshaphat ni Levihnaw, vaihmanaw hoi Isarel kahrawikungnaw a hruek.
Moreover in Jerusalem Jehoshaphat appointed Levites and priests, and of the heads of the ancestral houses of Israel, for the judgment of YHWH, and for controversies. They returned to Jerusalem.
9 Hahoi nangmouh ni lungthin katang hoi BAWIPA na taki awh teh, yuemkamcu lahoi lawkceng awh.
He commanded them, saying, "Thus you shall do in the fear of YHWH, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
10 Kho tangkuem koe kaawm e hmaunawnghanaw koe tami theinae, kâlawk hoi kâpoelawk dawk thoseh, phunglawk hoi lawkcengnae dawk thoseh, nangmouh koe a pha torei teh, kâhruetcuetnae na poe awh han. Hottelah nahoeh pawiteh, BAWIPA taran vaiteh, kâ a tapoe awh han. Nangmouh hoi hmaunawngha lathueng vah, lungkhueknae a pha payon han. Hettelah na sak awh pawiteh, yon pennae dawk hoi na hlout awh han.
Whenever any controversy shall come to you from your brothers who dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, you shall warn them, that they not be guilty towards YHWH, and so wrath come on you and on your brothers. Do this, and you shall not be guilty.
11 BAWIPA e hnocawngca pueng dawk, vaihma bawi Amariah hoi Isarel capa Zebadiah, Judah imthung kaukkung nangmouh koe ao. Hahoi siangpahrang hno pueng dawk Levihnaw hah nangmouh koe kahrawikung lah ao han. Taranhawi laihoi sak awh. BAWIPA teh hnokahawi kasaknaw koelah a kampang telah lawk a thui.
Look, 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, in all the king's matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and may YHWH be with the good."
