2 Chronicles 19
1 And Josaphat king of Juda returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
Nígbà tí Jehoṣafati ọba Juda padà ní àlàáfíà sí ilé rẹ̀ ní Jerusalẹmu,
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:
Jehu aríran, ọmọ Hanani jáde lọ láti lọ pàdé rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún ọba pé, “Ṣé ìwọ yóò máa ran ènìyàn búburú lọ́wọ́, kí o sì fẹ́ràn àwọn tí ó kórìíra Olúwa? Nítorí èyí, ìbínú Olúwa wà lórí wa.
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.
Bí ó ti wù kí ó rí, ohun rere wà nínú rẹ, nítorí tí ìwọ ti mú àwọn ilé àwọn ère òrìṣà Aṣerah kúrò, tí o sì múra ọkàn rẹ láti wá Ọlọ́run.”
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.
Jehoṣafati sì ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu ó sì jáde lọ padà láàrín àwọn ènìyàn láti Beerṣeba dé òkè ìlú Efraimu, ó sì mú wọn padà sọ́dọ̀ Olúwa Ọlọ́run baba wọn.
5 And he set judges of the land in all the fenced cities of Juda, in every place.
Ó sì yan àwọn onídàájọ́ sí ilẹ̀ náà, ní olúkúlùkù ìlú olódi 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.
Ó sì wí fun wọ́n pé, “Ẹ kíyèsi ohun tí ẹ̀yin ń ṣe, nítorí ìwọ kò ṣe ìdájọ́ fun ènìyàn ṣùgbọ́n fún Olúwa, ẹni tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ ní ìdájọ́.
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.
Nísinsin yìí jẹ́ kí ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa kí ó wá sí ọkàn rẹ̀. Ṣe ìdájọ́ pẹ̀lẹ́pẹ̀lẹ́, nítorí pẹ̀lú Olúwa Ọlọ́run kò sí àìṣedéédéé tàbí ojúsàájú tàbí gbígba àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀.”
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.
Ní Jerusalẹmu pẹ̀lú, Jehoṣafati yan díẹ̀ lára àwọn Lefi, àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn olórí ìdílé Israẹli si pípa òfin Olúwa mọ́ àti láti ṣe ìdájọ́. Wọn sì ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu.
9 And he charged them, saying: Thus shall you do in the fear of the Lord faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
Ó sì kìlọ̀ fún wọn wí pé. “Ìwọ gbọdọ̀ sìn pẹ̀lú òtítọ́ àti pẹ̀lú ọkàn pípé ní ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa.
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.
Ní gbogbo ẹjọ́ tí ó bá wà níwájú rẹ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn arákùnrin yín tí ń gbé ìlú wọn bóyá ẹ̀jẹ̀ tí ń sàn tàbí ìyókù òfin pẹ̀lú, pa á láṣẹ ìlànà àti ẹ̀tọ́, ìwọ gbọdọ̀ kìlọ̀ fún wọn láti má ṣe dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, ìbínú yóò sì wá sórí yín, àti sórí àwọn arákùnrin. Ṣe èyí, ìwọ kì yóò sì jẹ̀bi.
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.
“Amariah àlùfáà ni yóò jẹ́ olórí yín nínú gbogbo ọ̀ràn tí ó jẹ́ ti Olúwa, àti Sebadiah ọmọ Iṣmaeli alákòóso ìdílé Juda, ní yóò jẹ́ olórí ní gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí ọba, àti àwọn ará Lefi pẹ̀lú yin yóò sìn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìjòyè níwájú yín. Ẹ ṣe é pẹ̀lú ìmọ́kànle, Olúwa yóò sì wà pẹ̀lú àwọn tó bá ń ṣe rere.”
