2 Chronicles 19
1 And Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah returned safe to his house in Ierusalem.
Awo Yekosafaati kabaka wa Yuda n’akomawo mirembe mu lubiri lwe mu Yerusaalemi.
2 And Iehu the sonne of Hanani the Seer went out to meete him, and said to King Iehoshaphat, Wouldest thou helpe the wicked, and loue them that hate the Lord? therefore for this thing the wrath of the Lord is vpon thee.
Yeeku, Omulabi, mutabani wa Kanani n’agenda okumusisinkana, n’agamba Yekosafaati nti, “Kituufu ggwe okuyamba ababi, ate n’okukolagana n’abo abakyawa Mukama? Olw’ekikolwa ekyo, obusungu bwa Mukama kyebuvudde bukubuubukirako.
3 Neuertheles good things are found in thee, because thou hast taken away ye groues out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seeke God.
Kyokka mu ggwe mulimu ebirungi, kubanga wazikiriza Baaserosi n’obaggya mu nsi, n’omalirira mu mutima gwo okunoonya Katonda.”
4 So Iehoshaphat dwelt at Ierusalem, and returned and went through the people from Beer-sheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them againe vnto the Lord God of their fathers.
Awo Yekosafaati n’abeeranga mu Yerusaalemi, n’addayo eri abantu okuva e Beeruseba okutuuka mu Efulayimu mu nsi ey’ensozi, bonna n’abakomyawo eri Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjaabwe.
5 And hee set iudges in the lande throughout all the strong cities of Iudah, citie by citie,
N’alonda abalamuzi mu nsi, ne mu buli kibuga kya Yuda ekiriko Bbugwe.
6 And said to the iudges, Take heede what ye doe: for yee execute not the iudgements of man, but of the Lord, and he will be with you in the cause and iudgement.
N’abategeeza nti, “Mufumiitirize nnyo ku bye mukola, kubanga temulamula ku bw’abantu wabula ku bwa Mukama, abeera nammwe buli bwe musala omusango.
7 Wherefore nowe let the feare of the Lord be vpon you: take heede, and do it: for there is no iniquitie with the Lord our God, neither respect of persons, nor receiuing of reward.
Noolwekyo entiisa ya Mukama ebeere mu mmwe, musale omusango nga mugwekanyizza bulungi, kubanga Mukama Katonda waffe takkiriziganya na butali butuukirivu, era tewali kusosola mu bantu wadde okulya enguzi.”
8 Moreouer in Ierusalem did Iehoshaphat set of the Leuites, and of the Priests and of the chiefe of the families of Israel, for the iudgement and cause of the Lord: and they returned to Ierusale.
Ate ne mu Yerusaalemi Yekosafaati yalonda abamu ku Baleevi, ne bakabona, n’emitwe gy’ennyumba za Isirayiri okulamulanga ku bwa Mukama, n’okusalangawo ensonga enzibu.
9 And he charged them, saying, Thus shall yee doe in the feare of the Lord faithfully and with a perfite heart.
N’abakuutira ng’agamba nti, “Mukole nga mutya Mukama, n’obwesigwa era n’omutima gumu.
10 And in euery cause that shall come to you of your brethren that dwel in their cities, betweene blood and blood, betweene law and precept, statutes and iudgements, ye shall iudge them, and admonish them that they trespasse not against the Lord, that wrath come not vpon you and vpon your brethren. This shall ye do and trespasse not.
Bwe wanaabangawo ensonga evudde eri baganda bammwe okuva mu bibuga byabwe, ng’ekwata ku kuyiwa omusaayi, oba ku nsonga endala yonna ekwata ku kiragiro, ku mateeka oba ku biragiro, munaabalabulanga obutayonoona Mukama, obusungu bwe muleme okubatuukako mmwe ne baganda bammwe. Bwe mutyo bwe munaakolanga muleme okubaako omusango.
11 And behold, Amariah the Priest shalbe the chiefe ouer you in all matters of the Lord, and Zebadiah ye sonne of Ishmael, a ruler of the house of Iudah, shalbe for al the Kings affaires, and the Leuites shalbe officers before you. Bee of courage, and doe it, and the Lord shalbe with the good.
“Era Amaliya kabona asinga obukulu y’anaababeerangako n’obuvunaanyizibwa mu nsonga zonna eza Mukama, ate Zebadiya mutabani wa Isimayiri omukulu ow’ekika kya Yuda ye n’avunaanyizibwanga mu nsonga zonna eza kabaka, era n’Abaleevi banaaweerezanga ng’abaami mu maaso gammwe. Mube n’obuvumu, era Mukama abeere n’abo abakola obutuukirivu.”
