2 Chronicles 19
1 Jehoshaphat the king of Judah safely returned to his house in Jerusalem.
Judah manghai Jehoshaphat tah Jerusalem kah amah im la sading la mael.
2 Then Jehu son of Hanani, the seer, went out to meet him and said to King Jehoshaphat, “Should you be helping the wicked? Should you be loving those who hate Yahweh? For this deed, anger from Yahweh is on you.
Tedae Hanani capa khohmu Jehu tah a maelhmai hmuh hamla cet tih manghai Jehoshaphat te, “Halang te Bom hamla om a? BOEIPA kah a hmuhuet te na lungnah. Te dongah BOEIPA mikhmuh lamkah a thinhul he nang soah tla saeh.
3 However, there is some good to be found in you, in that you have taken the Asherah poles out of the land, and you have fixed your heart to seek God.”
Tedae khohmuen lamkah Asherah te na hlup tih Pathen toem hamla na thinko na cikngae sak dongah na khuiah hno then la a hmuh uh,” a ti nah.
4 Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem; and he went out again among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim and brought them back to Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
Te phoeiah Jehoshaphat tah Jerusalem ah kho a sak. Te phoeiah mael tih pilnam te Beersheba lamloh Ephraim tlang duela a hip phoeiah tah amih te a napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA taengla a mael puei.
5 He placed judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city.
Judah kah aka cak khopuei boeih kah khopuei, khopuei ah khohmuen kah laitloek rhoek te a khueh.
6 He said to the judges, “Consider what you should do, because you are not judging for man, but for Yahweh; he is with you in the act of judging.
Te phoeiah laitloek rhoek te, “Hlang ham pawt tih BOEIPA ham lai na tloek uh dongah mebang na saii khaw hmu uh. Nangmih taengah laitloeknah ol neh om coeng.
7 Now then, let the fear of Yahweh be upon you. Be careful when you judge, for there is no iniquity with Yahweh our God, nor is there any favoritism or bribe taking.”
BOEIPA dongah birhihnah te nangmih ah om pawn saeh. Ngaithuen lamtah saii uh. Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA tah dumlai neh, maelhmai dannah, kapbaih lohnah neh a om moenih,” a ti nah.
8 Moreover, in Jerusalem Jehoshaphat appointed some of the Levites and the priests, and some of the heads of the ancestral houses of Israel, for carrying out judgment for Yahweh, and for the sake of disputes. They lived in Jerusalem.
Te phoeiah Jehoshaphat loh Levi neh khosoih rhoek lamkah khaw, Israel kah a napa boeilu rhoek khui lamkah khaw BOEIPA kah laitloeknah ham neh tuituknah vaengkah ham Jerusalem ah a khueh bal tih Jerusalem la mael uh.
9 He instructed them, saying, “You must serve in reverence for Yahweh, faithfully, and with your whole heart.
Amih te khaw te a uen tih, “BOEIPA hinyahnah neh, uepomnah neh thinko rhuemtuet la bi saii uh tangloeng.
10 Whenever any dispute comes to you from your brothers who live in their cities, whether concerning bloodshed, whether about laws and commands, statutes or decrees, you must warn them, so they do not become guilty before Yahweh, or anger will come toward you and toward your brothers. You shall do this and you will not be guilty.
Nangmih taengla aka pawk tuituknah boeih tah kho takuem kah, khosa na manuca taeng lamkah khaw, thii neh thii laklo ah, olkhueng neh olpaek bangla, oltlueh neh laitloeknah bangla amih te thuituen uh lamtah BOEIPA taengah boe uh boel saeh. Te dongah nangmih so neh na manuca soah a thinhulnah om ve. Te te na vai uh daengah ni na boe uh pawt eh.
11 See, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all the matters of Yahweh. Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the leader of the house of Judah, is in charge of all the matters of the king. Also, the Levites will be officers serving you. Be strong and obey your instructions, and may Yahweh be with those who are good.”
BOEIPA kah olka cungkuem dongah khosoih Amariah tah nangmih kah boeilu coeng ni ne. Manghai kah olka cungkuem dongah khaw Ishmael capa Zebadiah tah Judah imkhui kah rhaengsang la om coeng. Nangmih mikhmuh kah Levi rhoiboei rhoek khaw thaahuel uh lamtah saii uh. BOEIPA loh hnothen neh n'om puei saeh,” a ti nah.
