2 Chronicles 19
1 And Jehoshaphat king of Judah turns back to his house in peace, to Jerusalem,
Awo Yekosafaati kabaka wa Yuda n’akomawo mirembe mu lubiri lwe mu Yerusaalemi.
2 and Jehu son of Hanani the seer goes out to his presence and says to King Jehoshaphat, “Do you love to give help to the wicked and to those hating YHWH? And for this, wrath [is] against you from before YHWH,
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 but good things have been found with you, for you have put away the Asheroth out of the land, and have prepared your heart to seek God.”
Kyokka mu ggwe mulimu ebirungi, kubanga wazikiriza Baaserosi n’obaggya mu nsi, n’omalirira mu mutima gwo okunoonya Katonda.”
4 And Jehoshaphat dwells in Jerusalem, and he turns back and goes out among the people from Beer-Sheba to the hill-country of Ephraim, and brings them back to YHWH, 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 he establishes judges in the land, in all the fortified cities of Judah, for every city,
N’alonda abalamuzi mu nsi, ne mu buli kibuga kya Yuda ekiriko Bbugwe.
6 and says to the ones judging, “See what you are doing—for you do not judge for man, but for YHWH, who [is] with you in the matter of judgment;
N’abategeeza nti, “Mufumiitirize nnyo ku bye mukola, kubanga temulamula ku bw’abantu wabula ku bwa Mukama, abeera nammwe buli bwe musala omusango.
7 and now, let fear of YHWH be on you, observe and do, for there is not perverseness with our God YHWH, and favoring by appearance, and taking of a bribe.”
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 And also in Jerusalem, Jehoshaphat has appointed of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the heads of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of YHWH, and for strife; and they return to Jerusalem,
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 lays a charge on them, saying, “Thus do you do in the fear of YHWH, in faithfulness, and with a perfect heart,
N’abakuutira ng’agamba nti, “Mukole nga mutya Mukama, n’obwesigwa era n’omutima gumu.
10 and any strife that comes to you of your brothers who are dwelling in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and command, statutes, and judgments, then you have warned them and they do not become guilty before YHWH, and wrath has not been on you and on your brothers; thus do you do, and you are not guilty.
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 head priest [is] over you for every matter of YHWH, and Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the leader of the house of Judah, [is] for every matter of the king, and the Levites [are] officers before you; be strong and do, and YHWH is 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.”
