< 2 Chronicles 19 >
1 Once Jehoshaphat had arrived safely home in Jerusalem,
Sa’ad da Yehoshafat sarkin Yahuda ya dawo zuwa fadansa a Urushalima lafiya,
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.
Yehu mai duba, ɗan Hanani, ya fita don yă tarye shi, ya kuma ce wa sarki, “Ya yi kyau ke nan da ka taimaki mugu ka kuma ƙaunaci waɗanda suke ƙin Ubangiji? Da yake ka yi haka fushin Ubangiji yana a kanka
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.”
Duk da haka an sami wani abin kirki a wurinka, gama ka kawar da ginshiƙan Ashera a ƙasar, ka kuma sa zuciyarka a kan neman Allah.”
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.
Yehoshafat ya zauna a Urushalima, ya kuma fita yana shiga cikin mutane daga Beyersheba zuwa ƙasar tudun Efraim ya kuma juyar da su ga Ubangiji Allah na kakanninsu.
5 He appointed judges throughout the country, in all of the fortified towns of Judah.
Ya naɗa alƙalai a kowanne daga cikin biranen katanga na Yahuda a ƙasar.
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.
Ya faɗa musu, “Ku lura da abin da kuke yi, gama shari’ar da kuke yi ba ta mutum ba ce, amma ta Ubangiji ce, yana tare da ku sa’ad da kuke yanke shari’a.
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.”
Yanzu fa ku ji tsoron Ubangiji. Ku yi hankali a kan abin da kuke yi, gama Ubangiji Allahnmu ba ya sonkai ko nuna wariya ko cin hanci.”
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.
A Urushalima kuma, Yehoshafat ya naɗa waɗansu Lawiyawa, firistoci da kawunan iyalan Isra’ilawa don su tabbatar da an bi dokar Ubangiji, su kuma sasanta tsakanin mutane. A Urushalima za su zauna.
9 He gave them these orders, “You must honor God, and act with faithfulness and complete commitment.
Ya ba su waɗannan umarnai, “Ku yi aikinku da aminci da tsoron Ubangiji da dukan zuciyarku.
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.
Cikin kowane batun da ya zo gabanku daga’yan’uwanku waɗanda suke zama a birane, ko batun na kisa ne ko kuwa waɗansu batuttuwan da suka shafi doka, umarnai, ƙa’idodi ko farillai, dole ku ja musu kunne kada su yi wa Ubangiji zunubi; in ba haka ba fushinsa zai sauko a kanku da’yan’uwanku. Ku yi wannan, ta haka ba za ku kuwa yi zunubi ba.
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.”
“Amariya, babban firist, shi ne zai shugabance ku a kan dukan al’amuran da suke na wajen Ubangiji, Zebadiya ɗan Ishmayel kuwa, shugabanku a kan dukan al’amuran da suka shafi sarki, Lawiyawa kuma za su zama a matsayin manya a gabanku. Ku yi abubuwa da ƙarfin hali, bari kuma Ubangiji yă kasance tare da masu yin gaskiya.”
