2 Chronicles 19
1 Once Jehoshaphat had arrived safely home in Jerusalem,
Judah siangpahrang Jehoshaphat teh, karoumcalah Jerusalem a im vah a ban.
2 Jehu, son of Hanani, the seer went out to face him. He said to King Jehoshaphat, “Why are you helping the wicked? Why do you love those who hate the Lord? The Lord is angry with you because of this.
Hatei Hanani capa Jehu ni a dawn teh, siangpahrang koevah, Tamikathoutnaw na kabawp teh, BAWIPA kamaithoenaw na pahren han na maw. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA lungkhueknae teh nang dawk ao.
3 Even so you've done some good things such as destroying the Asherah poles throughout the country, and you have made a sincere commitment to follow God.”
Hatei, ram thung e thingmeikaphawknaw na raphoe teh, BAWIPA na tawng dawkvah, hawinae lamthung teh na tawn rah, telah atipouh.
4 Jehoshaphat continued living in Jerusalem, and once again he traveled among the people, from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim, to encourage them to serve the Lord, the God of their fathers.
Jehoshaphat teh Jerusalem vah ao. Hahoi Beersheba teh Ephraim mon totouh a taminaw koe a cei teh, mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut koe a bankhai.
5 He appointed judges throughout the country, in all of the fortified towns of Judah.
Judah ram thung rapan ka tawn e kho tangkuem dawk, lawkcengkungnaw a hruek.
6 He told the judges, “Be careful about what you're doing as judges, because you're not looking for the approval of people, but the approval of the Lord. He is the One with you when you give your verdict.
Lawkcengkungnaw koe, na sak e hno kahawicalah pouk laihoi sak awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, taminaw koe lawk na ceng e nahoeh. BAWIPA hane doeh, lawk na ceng awh navah nangmouh koe ao van.
7 So then, be sure to have reverence for God, obeying him and doing what he wants, for God does not permit any kind of injustice, favoritism, or bribery.”
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA takinae lungthin tawn awh nateh, kâhruetcuet laihoi sak awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, maimae BAWIPA Cathut teh, payonpakainae, tami kapeknae hoi tadawnghno awm hoeh, atipouh.
8 Jehoshaphat also appointed in Jerusalem some of the Levites, priests, and family heads to act as judges regarding the law of Lord and to settle disputes. They were to have their courts in Jerusalem.
Hothloilah Jerusalem vah, BAWIPA e lawkcengnae hoi kâtoe nah lawkceng hanelah, Jehoshaphat ni Levihnaw, vaihmanaw hoi Isarel kahrawikungnaw a hruek.
9 He gave them these orders, “You must honor God, and act with faithfulness and complete commitment.
Hahoi nangmouh ni lungthin katang hoi BAWIPA na taki awh teh, yuemkamcu lahoi lawkceng awh.
10 In every case that comes before you from your people living in other towns, whether it involves murder or violations of the law, commandment, statutes, or judgments, you are to warn them not to offend the Lord so that punishment does not come upon you and your people. If you do this you will not be held guilty.
Kho tangkuem koe kaawm e hmaunawnghanaw koe tami theinae, kâlawk hoi kâpoelawk dawk thoseh, phunglawk hoi lawkcengnae dawk thoseh, nangmouh koe a pha torei teh, kâhruetcuetnae na poe awh han. Hottelah nahoeh pawiteh, BAWIPA taran vaiteh, kâ a tapoe awh han. Nangmouh hoi hmaunawngha lathueng vah, lungkhueknae a pha payon han. Hettelah na sak awh pawiteh, yon pennae dawk hoi na hlout awh han.
11 Amariah, the chief priest, will make the final decision for you in everything that relates to the Lord, and Zebadiah, son of Ishmael, the leader of the tribe of Judah, in all that relates to the king. The Levites will serve as officers to assist you. Be firm, and may the Lord be with those who do what is right.”
BAWIPA e hnocawngca pueng dawk, vaihma bawi Amariah hoi Isarel capa Zebadiah, Judah imthung kaukkung nangmouh koe ao. Hahoi siangpahrang hno pueng dawk Levihnaw hah nangmouh koe kahrawikung lah ao han. Taranhawi laihoi sak awh. BAWIPA teh hnokahawi kasaknaw koelah a kampang telah lawk a thui.
