2 Weche Mag Ndalo 19

1 Kane Jehoshafat ruodh Juda noduogo ode Jerusalem kongima,

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

2 Jehu janen ma wuod Hanani nodhi mondo orom kode kendo nonyiso ruoth niya, “Bende dikony joricho kendo iher jogo mochayo Jehova Nyasaye? Mirimb Jehova Nyasaye ni kuomi nikech isetimo ma.

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 the Lord? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the Lord.

3 Kata kama nitiere ber moko kuomi nikech isegolo e piny sirni milamo mag Ashera kendo chunyi bende iseketo mondo omany Nyasaye.”

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 Jehoshafat nodak Jerusalem, nochako owuok kendo kolimo joge koa Bersheba nyaka chop piny gode matindo mag Efraim kendo kojiwo chunygi mondo gidwog ir Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kweregi.

And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the people from Beer-sheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto the Lord God of their fathers.

5 Noketo jongʼad bura e piny, e mier duto madongo mag Juda mochiel gohinga.

And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city,

6 Nonyisogi niya, “Paruru malongʼo gima utimo, nikech ok ungʼad bura gi nying dhano to ungʼado e nying Jehova Nyasaye man kodu e seche mungʼadoe bura.

And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, who is with you in the judgment.

7 Emomiyo tiuru ka luoro mar Nyasaye ni kodu. Ritreuru ka ungʼado bura nimar kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa onge tim marach kata dewo wangʼ kata chulo asoya.”

Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.

8 Bende e Jerusalem, Jehoshafat noketo jo-Lawi, jodolo kaachiel gi jotend anywola moko mag jo-Israel mondo ongʼad bura e nying Jehova Nyasaye kendo mondo gikel kwe e tungni. Kendo negidak Jerusalem.

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 the Lord, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem.

9 Nochikogi kama, Nyaka uti tijeu gi adiera kendo gi chunyu duto ka uluoro Jehova Nyasaye.

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

10 Kuom wach moro amora mane okel e nyimu gi joweteu modak e mier, bedni en wach nek kata weche moko mag chik, yorene kata weche mag buchene to nyaka usiemgi ni kik giketh e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, ka ok kamano to mirimbe nobi kuomu kod kuom joweteu. Kutimo ma, to ok unutim richo.

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 the Lord, and so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass.

11 “Amaria jadolo maduongʼ ema notelnu e weche duto mag Jehova Nyasaye, to Zebadia wuod Ishmael ma jatend dhood Juda to notelnu e weche duto mag ruoth, to jo-Lawi noti kaka jotelo kuomu. Tiuru ka un gi chir, kendo Jehova Nyasaye obed gi jogo matimo maber.”

And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the Lord; 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 the Lord shall be with the good.
