2 Chronicles 19
1 And Jehoshaphat king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
Jehoshafati mambo weJudha paakadzoka zvakanaka kumuzinda wake muJerusarema,
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.
Jehu muoni, mwanakomana waHanani, akabuda kundosangana naye akati kuna mambo, “Mungabatsira here vanhu vakaipa uye mugoda avo vanovenga Jehovha? Nokuda kwaizvozvi kutsamwa kwaJehovha kwava pamusoro penyu.
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.
Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, mamuri mune zvakanaka nokuti makabvisa matanda aAshera munyika uye makaisa mwoyo wenyu pakutsvaka Mwari.”
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.
Jehoshafati aigara muJerusarema, uye akaendazve pakati pavanhu vokuBheeri Shebha kunyika yezvikomo yaEfuremu akavadzosa kuna Jehovha, Mwari wamadzibaba avo.
5 And he set judges in the land throughout the fortified cities of Judah, city by city.
Akagadza vatongi munyika muguta rimwe nerimwe reJudha rakakomberedzwa namasvingo.
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.
Akavaudza kuti, “Cherechedzai zvikuru zvamunoita, nokuti hamusi kutongera vanhu asi Jehovha, uyo anenge anemi pamunopa mitongo.
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.
Zvino kutya Jehovha ngakuve pamusoro penyu mutonge zvakanaka, nokuti kuna Jehovha Mwari wedu hakuna kusaruramisira kana kutsaura vanhu kana kugamuchira fufuro.”
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.
MuJerusarema, Jehoshafati akagadza vamwe vevaRevhi, vaprista navakuru vemhuri dzavaIsraeri kuti vagochengetedza murayiro waJehovha uye kuti vapedze gakava, uye vakagara muJerusarema.
9 And he charged them saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of Jehovah faithfully and with a perfect heart.
Akavapa mirayiro iyi: “Munofanira kubata basa makatendeka nomwoyo wose muchitya Jehovha.
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.
Munyaya ipi neipi inouya kwamuri kubva kuna vamwe vomunyika yenyu vanogara mumaguta, kungava kuteuka kweropa kana zvimwewo zvinotaurwa nomurayiro, zvakarayirwa, mitemo kana zvirevo, munofanira kuvayambira kuti vasatadzira Jehovha; mukasadaro kutsamwa kwake kuchauya pamusoro penyu nehama dzenyu. Itai izvi uye hamuzotadzi.
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.
“Amaria muprista mukuru ndiye achakutongai panyaya ipi zvayo iri maererano naJehovha. Uye Zebhadhia mwanakomana waIshumaeri mutungamiri worudzi rwaJudha, achakutongai panyaya ipi zvayo iri maererano naMambo uye vaRevhi vachashanda savatariri pamberi penyu. Itai zvose nokushinga uye Jehovha ngaave navose vanoita zvakanaka.”
