< 2 Chronicles 19 >

1 And Josaphat king of Juda returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
Nakasubli a sikakaradkad ni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda iti balayna idiay Jerusalem.
2 And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer met him, and said to him: Thou helpest the ungodly, and thou art joined in friendship with them that hate the Lord, and therefore thou didst deserve indeed the wrath of the Lord:
Kalpasanna, rimmuar a mangsabat kenkuana ni Jehu a propeta a putot ni Hanani ket kinunana kenni Ari Jehosafat, “Rumbeng kadi a tulongam dagiti nadangkes? Rumbeng kadi nga ayatem dagiti manggurgura kenni Yahweh? Gapu iti daytoy nga inaramidmo, kapungtotnaka ni Yahweh.
3 But good works are found in thee, because thou hast taken away the groves out of the land of Juda, and hast prepared thy heart to seek the Lord the God of thy fathers.
Nupay kasta, adda naimbag nga inaramidmo. Inikkatmo dagiti tekken ni Asera iti daga, ken impamaysam ti pusom iti Dios.”
4 And Josaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again to the people from Bersabee to mount Ephraim, and brought them back to the Lord the God of their fathers.
Nagnaed ni Jehosafat idiay Jerusalem; ket nagdaliasat manen isuna a napan kadagiti tattao, manipud Beerseba agingga iti katurturodan ti Efraim ket pinagsublina ida kenni Yahweh, a Dios dagiti ammada.
5 And he set judges of the land in all the fenced cities of Juda, in every place.
Nangisaad isuna kadagiti ukom iti amin a nasarikedkedan a siudad ti Juda, iti tunggal siudad ti Juda.
6 And charging the judges, he said: Take heed what you do: for you exercise not the judgment of man, but of the Lord: and whatsoever you judge, it shall redound to you.
Kinunana kadagiti ukom, “Panunotenyo ti rumbeng nga aramidenyo, gapu ta saankayo a manguk-ukom para iti tao, ngem para kenni Yahweh; adda isuna kadakayo iti pananguk-ukomyo.
7 Let the fear of the Lord be with you, and do all things with diligence: for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, a nor respect of persons, nor desire of gifts.
Ket ita, umay koma kadakayo ti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh. Agannadkayo no mangukomkayo, ta awan basol kenni Yahweh a Diostayo, wenno awan ti aniaman a panangidumduma wenno pasuksok kenkuana.”
8 In Jerusalem also Josaphat appointed Levites, and priests and chiefs of the families of Israel, to judge the judgment and the cause of the Lord for the inhabitants thereof.
Maysa pay, nangdutok met ni Jehosafat kadagiti sumagmamano a Levita ken papadi idiay Jerusalem ken kadagiti sumagmamano a panguloen kadagiti pamilia dagiti Israelita, a mangukom para kenni Yahweh, ken mangrisut kadagiti pagririan. Agnanaedda idiay Jerusalem.
9 And he charged them, saying: Thus shall you do in the fear of the Lord faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
Binilinna ida, a kunana, “Aramidenyo dagiti pagrebbenganyo a sibubuteng kenni Yahweh, sipupudno, ken iti isu-aminyo, kastoy ti aramidenyonto:
10 Every cause that shall come to you of your brethren, that dwell in their cities, between kindred and kindred, wheresoever there is question concerning the law, the commandment, the ceremonies, the justifications: shew it them, that they may not sin against the Lord, and that wrath may not come upon you and your brethren: and so doing you shall not sin.
No adda idatagda kadakayo a riri manipud kadagiti kakabsatyo nga agnanaed kadagiti siudadda, pammapatay man wenno maipapan kadagiti linteg, bilbilin, alagaden ken paglintegan, nasken a ballaaganyo ida tapno saanda nga agbasol kenni Yahweh, ken tapno saan nga agdissuor ti pungtotna kadakayo ken kadagiti kakabsatyo. No agtinaykayo iti kastoy a wagas, saankayo nga agbasol.
11 And Amarias the priest your high priest shell be chief in the things which regard God: and Zabadias the son of Ismahel, who is ruler in the house of Juda, shall be over those matters which belong to the king’s office: and you have before you the Levites for masters, take courage and do diligently, and the Lord will be with you in good things.
Adtoy, ni Amarias, a panguloen a padi, ket isu ti mangimaton kadakayo maipanggep iti amin a banbanag maipapan kenni Yahweh. Ni Zebadias a putot ni Ismael, a mangidadaulo iti balay ti Juda, ket isu ti mangimaton kadagiti amin a pakaseknan ti ari. Kasta met, a dagiti Levita dagiti opisial nga agserbi kadakayo. Agtignaykayo a situtured, ket sapay koma ta adda ni Yahweh kadagiti naimbag.”
