2 Chronicles 19
1 Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
Konsa, Josaphat, wa a te retounen sof a lakay li Jérusalem.
2 Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, "Should you help the wicked, and love those who hate YHWH? Because of this, wrath is on you from before YHWH.
Jéhu, fis a Hanani a, konseye a, te sòti pou rankontre li, e te di a Wa Josaphat: “Èske ou ta dwe ede mechan yo, e renmen sila ki rayi SENYÈ yo, e konsa, kite lakòlè SENYÈ a vini sou ou?
3 Nevertheless there are good things found in you, in that you have put away the Asheroth out of the land, and have set your heart to seek God."
Men gen kèk bagay ki bon nan ou tou, paske ou te retire Astarté a soti nan peyi ou a e ou te bay kè ou pou chache Bondye.”
4 Jehoshaphat lived at Jerusalem: and he went out again among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim, and brought them back to YHWH, the God of their fathers.
Konsa, Josaphat te rete Jérusalem e li te sòti deyò ankò pami pèp la soti Beer-Schéba jis rive nan peyi ti mòn a Éphraïm yo. Epi konsa, li te mennen yo retounen a SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt pa yo a.
5 He set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,
Li te chwazi jij nan peyi a nan tout vil fòtifye Juda yo, vil pa vil.
6 and said to the judges, "Consider what you do: for you do not judge for man, but for YHWH; and he is with you in the judgment.
Li te pale a jij yo: “Kontwole sa ke n ap fè a, paske nou pa jije pou yon moun, men pou SENYÈ ki avèk nou an pandan n ap rann jijman an.
7 Now therefore let the fear of YHWH be on you. Take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with YHWH our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes."
Pou sa, kite lakrent SENYÈ a rete sou nou. Fè anpil atansyon nan sa n ap fè a, paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, p ap patisipe nan sa ki pa dwat, nan patipri, ni nan lajan ki pase anba tab.”
8 Moreover in Jerusalem Jehoshaphat appointed Levites and priests, and of the heads of the ancestral houses of Israel, for the judgment of YHWH, and for controversies. They returned to Jerusalem.
Nan Jérusalem osi, Josaphat te apwente kèk nan Levit yo avèk prèt yo ak kèk nan chèf lakay zansèt Israël yo, pou fè jijman SENYÈ a, e pou jije konfli pami moun ki te rete Jérusalem yo.
9 He commanded them, saying, "Thus you shall do in the fear of YHWH, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
Li te pase lòd bay yo. Li te di: “Konsa nou va gen lakrent SENYÈ a, avèk fidelite e avèk tout kè.
10 Whenever any controversy shall come to you from your brothers who dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, you shall warn them, that they not be guilty towards YHWH, and so wrath come on you and on your brothers. Do this, and you shall not be guilty.
Nenpòt lè yon konfli rive devan nou soti nan manm fanmi nou yo ki rete nan vil yo, antre san ak san, antre lalwa avèk kòmandman yo, règleman avèk òdonans yo, nou va avèti yo pou yo pa vin koupab devan SENYÈ a, e pou kòlè pa rive sou nou avèk fanmi nou.
11 Look, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of YHWH; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all the king's matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and may YHWH be with the good."
Kontwole byen, Amaria, chèf prèt la, va chèf sou nou nan tout sa ki apatyen a SENYÈ a, e Zebadia, fis Ismaël la, chèf lakay Juda a, nan tout sa ki apatyen a wa a. Osi, Levit yo va aji kòm ofisye devan nou. Aji avèk kouraj, e SENYÈ a va avèk sila ki fè sa ki jis yo.”
