2 Chronicles 19
1 And Jehoshaphat king of Judah turns back to his house in peace, to Jerusalem,
Pea naʻe liliu atu ʻa Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻi he fiemālie ki hono fale ki Selūsalema.
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,
Pea naʻe ʻalu kituaʻā ʻa Sehu ko e foha ʻo Hanani ko e tangata kikite ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē ki he tuʻi ko Sihosafate, “He ʻoku totonu kiate koe ke tokoni ki he taʻeangafakaʻotua? Pea ke ʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kia Sihova? Ko ia kuo hoko ai ha houhau meia Sihova kiate koe.
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.”
Ka ko e moʻoni ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei siʻi ʻoku ʻilo ʻiate koe, koeʻuhi ʻi hoʻo ʻave ʻae ngaahi vao tapu mei he fonua, pea kuo ke teuteu ho loto ke kumi kia Sihova.”
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.
Pea naʻe nofo ʻa Sihosafate ʻi Selūsalema: pea toe ʻalu atu ia ki he kakai kotoa pē mei Peasipa ʻo aʻu ki he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi, ʻo ne liliu ʻakinautolu kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.
5 And he establishes judges in the land, in all the fortified cities of Judah, for every city,
Pea naʻe fakanofo ʻe ia ʻae kau fakamaau ʻi he fonua ʻi he ngaahi kolotau kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ʻi he kolo taki taha kotoa pē.
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;
Pea naʻa ne pehē ki he kau fakamaau, “Vakai ki he meʻa ʻoku mou fai: he ʻoku ʻikai te mou fakamaau maʻae tangata, ka kia Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he fakamaau.
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.”
Ko ia tuku ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae manavahē kia Sihova: pea vakai pea fai ia: he ʻoku ʻikai ha angahia ʻia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, pe ha filifilimānako kakai, pe ha maʻu meʻaʻofa.”
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,
Pea naʻe fakanofo foki ʻe Sihosafate ʻi Selūsalema, ʻae niʻihi ʻoe kau Livai, pea mo e kau taulaʻeiki, mo e niʻihi ʻi he tuʻukimuʻa ʻoe kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke fai ʻae fakamaau ʻa Sihova, pea ki he ngaahi fakakikihi, ʻi heʻenau liu mai ki Selūsalema.
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,
Pea naʻe fekau pau ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻo pehē, “Ke mou fai pehē pe ʻi he manavahē kia Sihova, ʻo angatonu pea ʻi he loto haohaoa.
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.
Pea ko e meʻa ia kotoa pē ʻe ʻomi kiate kimoutolu ʻi homou ngaahi kāinga ʻoku nofo ʻi honau ngaahi kolo, ʻi he fetāmateʻaki, pe ʻi he fono mo e fekau, mo e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ke mou valoki ʻakinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa nau fai angahala kia Sihova, ke hoko ai ʻae houhau kiate kimoutolu, pea ki homou kāinga: mou fai ia, pea ʻe ʻikai te mou fai hala.
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.”
Pea vakai, ko ʻAmalia ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻoku pule ia kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻia Sihova: pea pule ʻa Sepatia ko e foha ʻo ʻIsimeʻeli, ko e pule ʻoe fale ʻo Siuta, ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻae tuʻi: pea ko e kau Livai foki ko e ngaahi matāpule ʻi homou ʻao. [Mou ]fai loto mālohi, pea ʻe kau ʻa Sihova mo e angalelei.”
