Whom the profete Hieu, the sone of Ananye, mette, and seide to hym, Thou yyuest help to a wickid man, and thou art ioyned bi frendschip to hem that haten the Lord; and therfor sotheli thou deseruedist the wraththe of the Lord;
3 Ke hã la, nu nyui aɖe le mewò elabena èɖe aƒeliwo ɖa le anyigba la dzi eye nètsɔ wò dzi ɖo Mawu didi ŋu.”
but good werkis ben foundyn in thee, for thou didist awey wodis fro the lond of Juda, and thou hast maad redi thin herte, for to seke the Lord God of thi fadris.
4 Le esia ta Yehosafat megayi Israel azɔ o, ke boŋ enɔ Yerusalem. Emegbe la, egado go yi ameawo gbɔ; ezɔ mɔ tso Beerseba yi Efraim ƒe tonyigba dzi be yeado ŋusẽ wo be woasubɔ wo fofowo ƒe Mawu la.
Therfor Josaphat dwellide in Jerusalem; and eft he yede out to the puple fro Bersabee til to the hil of Effraym, and he clepide hem ayen to the Lord God of her fadris.
5 Eɖo ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo ɖe du gãwo katã me le anyigba blibo la dzi
And he ordeynede iugis of the lond in alle the strengthid citees of Juda, bi ech place.
6 eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Mizɔ le nyateƒe me elabena menye nyee ɖo mi o, ke boŋ Mawue ɖo mi; anɔ anyi kpli mi eye wòakpe ɖe mia ŋu miatso afia dzɔdzɔe le nya sia nya si woatsɔ vɛ na mi la me.
And he comaundide to the iugis, and seide, Se ye, what ye doen; for ye vsen not the doom of man, but of the Lord; and what euere thing ye demen, schal turne `in to you;
7 Mikpɔ nyuie be miatso afia bubu tso esi Mawu gblɔ na mi be miatso la gbɔ o elabena mele be afiaŋkunɔtsotso, ameŋkumekpɔkpɔ alo zãnuxɔxɔ nanɔ Mawu ƒe ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo me o.”
the drede of the Lord be with you, and do ye alle thingis with diligence; for anentis `youre Lord God is no wickidnesse, nether takynge of persoones, nether coueitise of yiftis.
8 Yehosafat ɖo ʋɔnudrɔ̃ƒewo anyi le Yerusalem hã eye wòda Levitɔwo, nunɔlawo, hlɔ̃wo ƒe tatɔwo kple ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo ɖe wo nu.
Also in Jerusalem Josaphat ordeynede dekenes, and preestis, and the princes of meynees of Israel, that thei schulden deme the doom and cause of the Lord to the dwellers of it.
9 Nu siwo wòɖo na wo be woawɔ la woe nye, “Ele be miawɔ nu sia nu ɣe sia ɣi le mawuvɔvɔ̃ me kple nuteƒewɔdziwo.
And he comaundide to hem, and seide, Thus ye schulen do in the drede of the Lord, feithfuli and in perfite herte.
10 Ne ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo tsɔ nyawo tso duta va mia gbɔ la, nenye amewunya alo Mawu ƒe sewo dometɔ aɖe dzi dada la, ele be miabu ɖaseɖiɖiwo ŋu nyuie eye miakpe ɖe ʋɔnudrɔ̃la siwo tso duta ŋu be, woatso afia dzɔdzɔe ne Mawu ƒe dɔmedzoe nagabi ɖe miawo kple woawo siaa ŋu o. Ne miewɔ alea la, ekema miawɔ miaƒe dɔdeasiwo nyuie.”
Ech cause that cometh to you of youre britheren, that dwellen in her citees, bitwixe kynrede and kynrede, where euere is questioun of the lawe, of `the comaundement, of cerymonyes, `ether sacrifices, of iustifyingis, schewe ye to hem, that thei do not synne ayens the Lord, and that wraththe com not on you and on youre britheren. Therfor ye doynge thus schulen not do synne.
11 Etsɔ nunɔlagã Amaria ɖo ʋɔnudrɔ̃ƒe kɔkɔtɔ si drɔ̃a mawuvɔ̃nyawo nu; etsɔ Zebadia, Ismael ƒe vi, ɖo dziɖula le Yuda be wòakpɔ ʋɔnudrɔ̃ƒe kɔkɔtɔ si drɔ̃a dukɔmenyawo dzi eye wòna be Levitɔwo nakpe ɖe wo ŋu. Eƒe nya mamlɛtɔ na woe nye, “Migavɔ̃ le miaƒe tenɔnɔ ɖe nyateƒe la nu kple nuteƒewɔwɔ me o. Yehowa nato mia dzi aʋli fɔmaɖilawo ta.”
Forsothe Amarie, youre preest and bischop, schal be souereyn in these thingis, that perteynen to God. Sotheli Zabadie, the sone of Ismael, which is duyk in the hows of Juda, schal be on tho werkis that perteynen to the office of the kyng, and ye han maistris dekenes bifor you; be ye coumfortid, and do ye diligentli, and the Lord schal be with you in goodis.
