2 Chronicles 19
1 Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
Yeroo Yehooshaafaax mootiin Yihuudaa nagaadhaan gara masaraa isaa Yerusaalemitti deebiʼetti,
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.
Yehuun raajichi ilmi Hanaanii sun isa simachuuf baʼee akkana isaan jedhe; “Ati nama hamaa gargaaruu fi warra Waaqayyoon jibban jaallachuu qabdaa? Kanaafuu dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo sitti dhufeera.
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."
Taʼus waan ati siidaawwan Aasheeraa barbadeessitee fi sababii garaan kee Waaqa barbaaduudhaaf qophaaʼaa taʼeef wanni gaariin si biratti argameera.”
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.
Yehooshaafaax Yerusaalem keessa jiraate; innis Bersheebaadhaa hamma biyya gaaraa Efreemitti saba gidduu deemee akka isaan gara Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaaniitti deebiʼan godhe.
5 He set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,
Innis biyya sana keessatti magaalaawwan Yihuudaa kanneen dallaa jabaa qaban hundatti abbootii murtii muude.
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.
Akkanas jedheen; “Waan hojjettan qalbeeffadhaa; Waaqayyo isa yeroo isin murtii kennitanitti isin wajjin jiru sanaaf jettaniiti malee namaaf jettanii murtii hin kennitaniitii.
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."
Waaqayyoon sodaachuun isin keessa haa jiraatu. Sababii Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya bira dabni yookaan wal caalchisuun yookaan mattaʼaa fudhachuun hin jirreef of eeggannaadhaan murtii kennaa.”
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.
Yehooshaafaax akkasumas Yerusaalem keessatti akka isaan seera Waaqayyoo eegsisanii dubbii wal dhabiisaatiif illee araara buusaniif Lewwota, lubootaa fi hangafoota maatiiwwan Israaʼel tokko tokko muude. Isaanis Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan.
9 He commanded them, saying, "Thus you shall do in the fear of YHWH, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
Innis akkana jedhee isaan ajaje; “Isin amanamummaa fi garaa guutuun Waaqayyoon sodaachaa tajaajiluu qabdu.
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.
Himatawwan namoota biyya keessanii kanneen magaalaa keessa jiraatan irraa waaʼee dhiiga dhangalaasuu yookaan waaʼee seeraa, waaʼee ajajawwanii, waaʼee labsii yookaan qajeelcha diduu irratti gara keessan dhufan, akka isaan Waaqayyotti cubbuu hin hojjenneef akeekkachiisaa. Yoo kanaa achii dheekkamsi isaa isinii fi obboloota keessanitti ni dhufaa. Waan kana godhaa; isinis cubbuu hin hojjettan.
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."
“Waan kan Waaqayyoo taʼe kam irratti iyyuu Amariyaan lubichi hangafti, waan kan mootii taʼe kam irratti iyyuu Zebaadiyaan ilmi Ishmaaʼeel hoogganaan gosa Yihuudaa isin irratti muudamaniiru; Lewwonni immoo qondaaltota taʼanii fuula keessan dura ni tajaajilu. Jabaadhaa hojjedhaa; Waaqayyo warra waan gaarii hojjettan wajjin haa jiraatu.”
