2 Chronicles 19
1 And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda aacookire Jerusalemu nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki na thayũ-rĩ,
2 And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat: 'Shouldest thou help the wicked, and love them that hate the LORD? for this thing wrath is upon thee from before the LORD.
Jehu ũrĩa muoni-maũndũ, mũrũ wa Hanani, agĩthiĩ akamũtũnge nake akĩũria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Nĩwagĩrĩirwo gũteithia mũndũ ũrĩa mwaganu na wende arĩa mathũire Jehova? Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo-rĩ, mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova marĩ igũrũ rĩaku.
3 Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast put away the Asheroth out of the land, and hast set thy heart to seek God.'
No rĩrĩ, harĩ na maũndũ manini mega thĩinĩ waku, nĩgũkorwo nĩweheretie itugĩ cia Ashera bũrũri-inĩ, na ũkerekeria ngoro yaku kũrongooria Ngai.”
4 And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem; and he went out again among the people from Beer-sheba to the hill-country of Ephraim, and brought them back unto the LORD, the God of their fathers.
Jehoshafatu agĩtũũra Jerusalemu, agĩcooka akiumagara rĩngĩ, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ andũ a kuuma Birishiba kũu bũrũri wa irĩma wa Efiraimu, na akĩmacookia kũrĩ Jehova, Ngai wa maithe mao.
5 And he set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,
Nake agĩthuura andũ a gũthikagĩrĩria maciira kũu bũrũri-inĩ, thĩinĩ wa o itũũra rĩa matũũra manene ma Juda marĩa mairigĩirwo na thingo cia hinya.
6 and said to the judges: 'Consider what ye do; for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD; and He is with you in giving judgment.
Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwĩciiragiei wega ũrĩa mũgwĩka, tondũ rĩrĩ, mũtirĩtuithanagia ciira nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ, no makĩria nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova, ũrĩa ũrĩkoragwo na inyuĩ rĩrĩa rĩothe mũrĩtuaga ciira.
7 Now therefore let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it; for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.'
Na rĩrĩ, mwĩtigagĩrei Jehova. Mũtuanagĩre ciira mũmenyereire, nĩ ũndũ Jehova Ngai witũ nĩ wa kĩhooto na ndaroraga maũthĩ na ndahakagwo.”
8 Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites and the priests, and of the heads of the fathers' houses of Israel, for the judgment of the LORD, and for controversies. And they returned to Jerusalem.
O nakuo Jerusalemu-rĩ, Jehoshafatu nĩathuurire Alawii amwe, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na atongoria a nyũmba cia andũ a Isiraeli marũgamagĩrĩre watho wa Jehova, na magatuithanagia maciira o na makaniina ngarari. Nao maatũũraga Jerusalemu.
9 And he charged them, saying: 'Thus shall ye do in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a whole heart.
Nake akĩmahe mawatho maya: “No nginya mũtungate na wĩhokeku na ngoro cianyu ciothe, na mwĩtigagĩre Jehova.
10 And whensoever any controversy shall come to you from your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, ye shall warn them, that they be not guilty towards the LORD, and so wrath come upon you and upon your brethren; thus shall ye do, and ye shall not be guilty.
Ciira wothe ũrĩa mũrĩrehagĩrwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ a bũrũri wanyu arĩa matũũraga matũũra-inĩ marĩa manene, arĩ ũiti wa thakame kana maũndũ mangĩ makoniĩ watho, kana maathani, kana kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, kana matuĩro ma ciira, makanagiei matikanehĩrie Jehova; kwaga ũguo marakara make nĩmakamũũkĩrĩra inyuĩ ene na ariũ a thoguo. Ĩkagai ũguo na mũtikehia.
11 And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all the king's matters; also the officers of the Levites before you. Deal courageously, and the LORD be with the good.'
“Na rĩrĩ, Amaria mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene nĩwe ũrĩmũroraga maũndũ-inĩ mothe makoniĩ Jehova, nake Zebadia mũrũ wa Ishumaeli, o we mũtongoria wa mũhĩrĩga wa Juda, nĩwe ũrĩmũroraga maũndũ-inĩ mothe makoniĩ mũthamaki, nao Alawii nĩmarĩtungataga ta anene marĩ mbere yanyu. Ĩkagai maũndũ mũrĩ na ũũmĩrĩru, nake Jehova arĩkoragwo hamwe na arĩa marĩĩkaga wega.”
