2 Chronicles 19
1 Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
Kane Jehoshafat ruodh Juda noduogo ode Jerusalem kongima,
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 the LORD? Because of this, wrath is on you from before the LORD.
Jehu janen ma wuod Hanani nodhi mondo orom kode kendo nonyiso ruoth niya, “Bende dikony joricho kendo iher jogo mochayo Jehova Nyasaye? Mirimb Jehova Nyasaye ni kuomi nikech isetimo ma.
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.”
Kata kama nitiere ber moko kuomi nikech isegolo e piny sirni milamo mag Ashera kendo chunyi bende iseketo mondo omany Nyasaye.”
4 Jehoshaphat lived at Jerusalem; and he went out again amongst the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim, and brought them back to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
Jehoshafat nodak Jerusalem, nochako owuok kendo kolimo joge koa Bersheba nyaka chop piny gode matindo mag Efraim kendo kojiwo chunygi mondo gidwog ir Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kweregi.
5 He set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,
Noketo jongʼad bura e piny, e mier duto madongo mag Juda mochiel gohinga.
6 and said to the judges, “Consider what you do, for you don’t judge for man, but for the LORD; and he is with you in the judgement.
Nonyisogi niya, “Paruru malongʼo gima utimo, nikech ok ungʼad bura gi nying dhano to ungʼado e nying Jehova Nyasaye man kodu e seche mungʼadoe bura.
7 Now therefore let the fear of the LORD be on you. Take heed and do it; for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.”
Emomiyo tiuru ka luoro mar Nyasaye ni kodu. Ritreuru ka ungʼado bura nimar kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa onge tim marach kata dewo wangʼ kata chulo asoya.”
8 Moreover in Jerusalem Jehoshaphat appointed certain Levites, priests, and heads of the fathers’ households of Israel to give judgement for the LORD and for controversies. They returned to Jerusalem.
Bende e Jerusalem, Jehoshafat noketo jo-Lawi, jodolo kaachiel gi jotend anywola moko mag jo-Israel mondo ongʼad bura e nying Jehova Nyasaye kendo mondo gikel kwe e tungni. Kendo negidak Jerusalem.
9 He commanded them, saying, “You shall do this in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
Nochikogi kama, Nyaka uti tijeu gi adiera kendo gi chunyu duto ka uluoro Jehova Nyasaye.
10 Whenever any controversy comes to you from your brothers who dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, you must warn them, that they not be guilty towards the LORD, and so wrath come on you and on your brothers. Do this, and you will not be guilty.
Kuom wach moro amora mane okel e nyimu gi joweteu modak e mier, bedni en wach nek kata weche moko mag chik, yorene kata weche mag buchene to nyaka usiemgi ni kik giketh e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, ka ok kamano to mirimbe nobi kuomu kod kuom joweteu. Kutimo ma, to ok unutim richo.
11 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, in all the king’s matters. Also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and may the LORD be with the good.”
“Amaria jadolo maduongʼ ema notelnu e weche duto mag Jehova Nyasaye, to Zebadia wuod Ishmael ma jatend dhood Juda to notelnu e weche duto mag ruoth, to jo-Lawi noti kaka jotelo kuomu. Tiuru ka un gi chir, kendo Jehova Nyasaye obed gi jogo matimo maber.”
