2 Chronicles 19
1 When King Jehoshaphat was returning safely to his palace in Jerusalem,
Hina bagade Yihosiafa: de da se mae nabawane, ea Yelusaleme diasua hahawane buhagi.
2 the prophet Jehu, the son of [the prophet] Hanani, went out of the city to meet the king, and said to him, “It was not right for you to help a wicked man and to love those who hate Yahweh. Because of what you have done, Yahweh is angry with you.
Balofede dunu ea dio amo Yihiu, da e ba: musa: asili, ema amane sia: i, “Di adi dawa: bela: ? Di da wadela: i hamosu dunu fidimu amola dunu amo da Hina Gode higasa, amo ilima gamu da defeala: ? Dia hamobeba: le, Hina Gode da dima ougisa.
3 But you have done some good things; you got rid of the poles in this country for [worshiping the goddess] Asherah, and you have strongly determined to do what pleases God.”
Be dia hou amo ganodini da fonobahadi noga: i hou gala. Bai di da uda ogogosu ‘gode’ Asila ema sia: ne gadoma: ne loboga hamoi liligi huluane gugunufinisi dagoi. Amola di da Gode Ea hanai hou amo fa: no bobogemusa: logo hogosu.”
4 Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem. But [one time], like he had done once previously, he went out among all the people in the country, from Beersheba [city in the far south] to the hilly area of [the tribe of] Ephraim [in the far north], and he convinced them to return to [worshiping] Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].
Yihosiafa: de da Yelusalemega esalu. Be e da eso bagohame amoga Yuda soge ganodini, ea fi dunu ba: musa: sofe ahoasu. Ea soge da ga (south) Biasiba moilai bai bagade asili Ifala: ime soge ga (north) gala. E da ea fi dunu ilia aowalalia Hina Godema bu sinidigima: ne ilima sia: i.
5 He appointed judges throughout Judah, in each of the cities that had walls around them.
E da Yuda gagili sali moilai bai bagade afae afae amo ganodini fofada: su dunu ilegei.
6 He told them, “Make your decisions carefully, because you are judging cases not [in order] to [please] people but to [please] Yahweh. And he will be watching you whenever you make a decision.
E da ilima amane hamoma: ne sia: i, “Dilia gebewane amola dawa: iwane fofada: su hou hamoma. Dilia da osobo bagade dunu ilegeiba: le, hame fofada: sa. Be dilia da Hina Gode Ea ilegeiba: le, fofada: sa. Amola dilia da fofada: sea, Hina Gode da dili esala.
7 So now revere Yahweh, and judge cases carefully, [and do not forget that] Yahweh our God never acts unjustly, and he never does what people want because of their offering him money; he never accepts bribes.”
Hina Godema nodoma amola dawa: iwane hamoma! Bai ninia Hina Gode da ogogosu hou amola hano suligi hou amola hina: fima baligili asigi hou, amo huluane Gode Ea higa: i hodosa.”
8 In Jerusalem also, Jehoshaphat appointed some priests and other descendants of Levi and some leaders of Israeli families [to be judges]. He told them to do what Yahweh’s laws said was right when they settled disputes. Those men lived in Jerusalem.
Yihosiafa: de da Yelusaleme ganodini fofada: su hawa: hamoma: ne, Lifai fi dunu, gobele salasu dunu amola eno mimogo dunu, ilegei. Yuda dunu da Hina Gode Ea Sema wadela: beba: le o soge sia: ga gegeiba: le, amo dunu da fofada: su hou hamosu.
9 He told them this: “You must always do your work faithfully, revering Yahweh.
Yihosiafa: de da ilima amane hamoma: ne sia: i, “Dilia Hina Godema nodonewane hawa: hamoma. Dilia hawa: hamosu huluane amo ganodini, Ea hamoma: ne sia: i noga: le fa: no bobogema.
10 In every dispute that your fellow Israelis who live in the cities want you to settle, you must warn them to not sin against Yahweh [by telling lies during the trial]. If you do not warn them, God will punish both you and your fellow Israelis. If you warn them, you will not be sinning. You must warn them whether [someone has accused them] of murdering someone, or of disobeying some other law or command or decree [of Yahweh].
Dilia fi dunu da medole legesu hou o eno Gode Ea Sema giadofasu hou dilima fofada: musa: masea, ilia Hina Godema wadela: le hamosa: besa: le, ilia fofada: su ganodini hou noga: idafa hamoma: ne, ilima olelema. Dilia agoane hame hamosea, Hina Gode Ea ougidafa hou ba: mu. Be dilia hawa: dawa: iwane hamosea, se hame nabimu.
11 Amariah the Supreme Priest will supervise you in any matter that Yahweh is concerned about, and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the leader of the tribe of Judah, will supervise you in any matter that I am responsible for. And the descendants of Levi will assist you. Act courageously, and I pray that Yahweh will help those who do their work well.”
Gobele salasu ouligisudafa, A:malaia da Godema sia: ne gadosu fofada: su amola Gode Ea Sema amoma fofada: su amo huluane ouligimu. Amola Yuda fi eagene ouligisudafa, Sebadaia (Isiama: iele egefe), e da dunudafa ilia osobo bagade fofada: su hou ouligimu. Amola Lifai fi dunu, da fofada: su ganodini sia: i liligi huluane didili hamoma: ne ouligimu. Mae beda: iwane, amo hamoma: ne sia: i liligi didili hamoma! Amola Hina Gode da moloidafa hou amoma gama: mu.”
