2 Chronicles 19
1 And 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 And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the wicked, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.
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 thee, in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thy 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 And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the people from Beersheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back to the LORD 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 And 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, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD, who 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 Therefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD 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 did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the heads of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the LORD, and for controversies, when 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 And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the LORD, 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 And whatever cause shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the LORD, and so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass.
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 And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king’s matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and the LORD shall 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.”
