2 Maũndũ 19

1 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda aacookire Jerusalemu nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki na thayũ-rĩ,

And Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah returned safe to his house in Ierusalem.

2 Jehu ũrĩa muoni-maũndũ, mũrũ wa Hanani, agĩthiĩ akamũtũnge nake akĩũria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Nĩwagĩrĩirwo gũteithia mũndũ ũrĩa mwaganu na wende arĩa mathũire Jehova? Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo-rĩ, mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova marĩ igũrũ rĩaku.

And Iehu the sonne of Hanani the Seer went out to meete him, and said to King Iehoshaphat, Wouldest thou helpe the wicked, and loue them that hate the Lord? therefore for this thing the wrath of the Lord is vpon thee.

3 No rĩrĩ, harĩ na maũndũ manini mega thĩinĩ waku, nĩgũkorwo nĩweheretie itugĩ cia Ashera bũrũri-inĩ, na ũkerekeria ngoro yaku kũrongooria Ngai.”

Neuertheles good things are found in thee, because thou hast taken away ye groues out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seeke God.

4 Jehoshafatu agĩtũũra Jerusalemu, agĩcooka akiumagara rĩngĩ, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ andũ a kuuma Birishiba kũu bũrũri wa irĩma wa Efiraimu, na akĩmacookia kũrĩ Jehova, Ngai wa maithe mao.

So Iehoshaphat dwelt at Ierusalem, and returned and went through the people from Beer-sheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them againe vnto the Lord God of their fathers.

5 Nake agĩthuura andũ a gũthikagĩrĩria maciira kũu bũrũri-inĩ, thĩinĩ wa o itũũra rĩa matũũra manene ma Juda marĩa mairigĩirwo na thingo cia hinya.

And hee set iudges in the lande throughout all the strong cities of Iudah, citie by citie,

6 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwĩciiragiei wega ũrĩa mũgwĩka, tondũ rĩrĩ, mũtirĩtuithanagia ciira nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ, no makĩria nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova, ũrĩa ũrĩkoragwo na inyuĩ rĩrĩa rĩothe mũrĩtuaga ciira.

And said to the iudges, Take heede what ye doe: for yee execute not the iudgements of man, but of the Lord, and he will be with you in the cause and iudgement.

7 Na rĩrĩ, mwĩtigagĩrei Jehova. Mũtuanagĩre ciira mũmenyereire, nĩ ũndũ Jehova Ngai witũ nĩ wa kĩhooto na ndaroraga maũthĩ na ndahakagwo.”

Wherefore nowe let the feare of the Lord be vpon you: take heede, and do it: for there is no iniquitie with the Lord our God, neither respect of persons, nor receiuing of reward.

8 O nakuo Jerusalemu-rĩ, Jehoshafatu nĩathuurire Alawii amwe, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na atongoria a nyũmba cia andũ a Isiraeli marũgamagĩrĩre watho wa Jehova, na magatuithanagia maciira o na makaniina ngarari. Nao maatũũraga Jerusalemu.

Moreouer in Ierusalem did Iehoshaphat set of the Leuites, and of the Priests and of the chiefe of the families of Israel, for the iudgement and cause of the Lord: and they returned to Ierusale.

9 Nake akĩmahe mawatho maya: “No nginya mũtungate na wĩhokeku na ngoro cianyu ciothe, na mwĩtigagĩre Jehova.

And he charged them, saying, Thus shall yee doe in the feare of the Lord faithfully and with a perfite heart.

10 Ciira wothe ũrĩa mũrĩrehagĩrwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ a bũrũri wanyu arĩa matũũraga matũũra-inĩ marĩa manene, arĩ ũiti wa thakame kana maũndũ mangĩ makoniĩ watho, kana maathani, kana kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, kana matuĩro ma ciira, makanagiei matikanehĩrie Jehova; kwaga ũguo marakara make nĩmakamũũkĩrĩra inyuĩ ene na ariũ a thoguo. Ĩkagai ũguo na mũtikehia.

And in euery cause that shall come to you of your brethren that dwel in their cities, betweene blood and blood, betweene law and precept, statutes and iudgements, ye shall iudge them, and admonish them that they trespasse not against the Lord, that wrath come not vpon you and vpon your brethren. This shall ye do and trespasse not.

11 “Na rĩrĩ, Amaria mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene nĩwe ũrĩmũroraga maũndũ-inĩ mothe makoniĩ Jehova, nake Zebadia mũrũ wa Ishumaeli, o we mũtongoria wa mũhĩrĩga wa Juda, nĩwe ũrĩmũroraga maũndũ-inĩ mothe makoniĩ mũthamaki, nao Alawii nĩmarĩtungataga ta anene marĩ mbere yanyu. Ĩkagai maũndũ mũrĩ na ũũmĩrĩru, nake Jehova arĩkoragwo hamwe na arĩa marĩĩkaga wega.”

And behold, Amariah the Priest shalbe the chiefe ouer you in all matters of the Lord, and Zebadiah ye sonne of Ishmael, a ruler of the house of Iudah, shalbe for al the Kings affaires, and the Leuites shalbe officers before you. Bee of courage, and doe it, and the Lord shalbe with the good.
