2 Chronicles 19
1 And Jehoshaphat king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
Ary Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, niverina soa aman-tsara ho any an-tranony tany Jerosalema.
2 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 Jehovah? Therefore is wrath upon thee from Jehovah.
Ary nivoaka hitsena azy Jeho, zanak’ i Hanany mpahita, ka nanao tamin’ i Josafata mpanjaka hoe: Moa ny ratsy fanahy va no tokony hampiana, ary izay mankahala an’ i Jehovah va no tokony ho tianao? Koa noho izany dia tezitra aminao Jehovah.
3 Nevertheless there are good things found in thee; for thou hast put away the Asherahs out of the land, and hast directed thy heart to seek God.
Nefa mba misy fahatsaram-panahy hita ihany aminao, fa noravanao tsy ho eo amin’ ny tany ny Aseraha, sady nampiomana ny fonao hitady an’ Andriamanitra ianao.
4 And Jehoshaphat dwelt in Jerusalem; and he went out again among the people from Beer-sheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back to Jehovah the God of their fathers.
Ary Josafata nitoetra tany Jerosalema; ary nandeha hitety ny olona indray izy hatrany Beri-sheba ka hatrany amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima ary nampiverina ny olona ho amin’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany.
5 And he set judges in the land throughout the fortified cities of Judah, city by city.
Ary nanendry mpitsara tamin’ ny tany izy, dia tamin’ ny isan-tanàna mimanda eran’ i Joda,
6 And he said to the judges, Take heed what ye do; for ye judge not for man, but for Jehovah, who will be with you in the matter of judgment.
ka nanao taminy hoe: Tandremo izay hataonareo; fa tsy ho an’ olona no hitsaranareo, fa ho an’ i Jehovah, sady momba anareo ao amin’ ny fitsarana Izy.
7 And now, let the terror of Jehovah be upon you; be careful what ye do, for there is no iniquity with Jehovah, nor respect of persons, nor taking of presents.
Koa aoka ho ao aminareo ny tahotra an’ i Jehovah; tandremo ka ataovy izany, fa tsy mba misy heloka amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika, na fizahan-tavan’ olona, na fandraisana kolikoly.
8 — And moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set some of the Levites and priests, and of the chief fathers of Israel, for the judgment of Jehovah and for causes. — And they returned to Jerusalem.
Ary tany Jerosalema koa no nanendren’ i Josafata ny sasany tamin’ ny Levita sy ny mpisorona ary ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana tamin’ ny Isiraely ho amin’ ny fitsaran’ i Jehovah sy ny adin’ olona (fa efa tafaverina tany Jerosalema izy tamin’ izay)
9 And he charged them saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of Jehovah faithfully and with a perfect heart.
ka dia nandidy azy hoe: Izao no hataonareo amin’ ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah sy amin’ ny fahamarinana ary amin’ ny fo mahitsy:
10 And what cause soever comes to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against Jehovah, and so wrath come upon you and upon your brethren: this do and ye shall not trespass.
Na inona na inona no ady avy amin’ ny rahalahinareo izay monina amin’ ny tanànany, na ny amin’ ny mahafaty aina, na ny amin’ ny hevitry ny lalàna sy ny didy ary ny fitsipika samy hafa, dia anaro izy mba tsy ho meloka amin’ i Jehovah, fandrao iharan’ ny fahatezerana ianareo sy ny rahalahinareo; izany no ataovy, dia tsy ho meloka ianareo.
11 And behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of Jehovah, and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, prince of the house of Judah, in all the king's matters; and ye have the Levites before you as officers. Be strong and do it, and Jehovah will be with the good.
Ary, indro, Amaria mpisoronabe no ho lehibenareo amin’ ny raharahan’ i Jehovah rehetra; ary Zebadia, zanak’ Isimaela, mpanapaka ny taranak’ i Joda, ho lehibenareo amin’ ny raharahan’ ny mpanjaka rehetra kosa; ary ny Levita ho mpifehy hanampy anareo. Mahereza, ka mahefà; ary Jehovah anie homba izay tsara.
