1 Sa’ad da Yehoshafat sarkin Yahuda ya dawo zuwa fadansa a Urushalima lafiya,

And Josaphat king of Juda returned to his house at Jerusalem.

2 Yehu mai duba, ɗan Hanani, ya fita don yă tarye shi, ya kuma ce wa sarki, “Ya yi kyau ke nan da ka taimaki mugu ka kuma ƙaunaci waɗanda suke ƙin Ubangiji? Da yake ka yi haka fushin Ubangiji yana a kanka

And there went out to meet him Jeu the prophet the son of Anani, and said to him, King Josaphat, doest thou help a sinner, or act friendly towards one hated of the Lord? Therefore has wrath come upon thee from the Lord.

3 Duk da haka an sami wani abin kirki a wurinka, gama ka kawar da ginshiƙan Ashera a ƙasar, ka kuma sa zuciyarka a kan neman Allah.”

Nevertheless [some] good things have been found in thee, forasmuch as thou didst remove the groves from the land of Juda, and didst direct thine heart to seek after the Lord.

4 Yehoshafat ya zauna a Urushalima, ya kuma fita yana shiga cikin mutane daga Beyersheba zuwa ƙasar tudun Efraim ya kuma juyar da su ga Ubangiji Allah na kakanninsu.

And Josaphat dwelt in Jerusalem: and he again went out among the people from Bersabee to the mount of Ephraim, and turned them back to the Lord God of their fathers.

5 Ya naɗa alƙalai a kowanne daga cikin biranen katanga na Yahuda a ƙasar.

And he appointed judges in all the strong cities of Juda, city by city.

6 Ya faɗa musu, “Ku lura da abin da kuke yi, gama shari’ar da kuke yi ba ta mutum ba ce, amma ta Ubangiji ce, yana tare da ku sa’ad da kuke yanke shari’a.

And he said to the judges, Take good heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, and with you are matters of judgment.

7 Yanzu fa ku ji tsoron Ubangiji. Ku yi hankali a kan abin da kuke yi, gama Ubangiji Allahnmu ba ya sonkai ko nuna wariya ko cin hanci.”

And now let the fear of the Lord be upon you, and be wary, and do [your duty]: for there is no unrighteousness with the Lord our God, neither [is it for him] to respect persons, nor take bribes.

8 A Urushalima kuma, Yehoshafat ya naɗa waɗansu Lawiyawa, firistoci da kawunan iyalan Isra’ilawa don su tabbatar da an bi dokar Ubangiji, su kuma sasanta tsakanin mutane. A Urushalima za su zauna.

Moreover Josaphat appointed in Jerusalem some of the priests, and Levites, and heads of houses of Israel, for the judgment of the Lord, and to judge the dwellers in Jerusalem.

9 Ya ba su waɗannan umarnai, “Ku yi aikinku da aminci da tsoron Ubangiji da dukan zuciyarku.

And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the Lord, in truth and with a perfect heart.

10 Cikin kowane batun da ya zo gabanku daga’yan’uwanku waɗanda suke zama a birane, ko batun na kisa ne ko kuwa waɗansu batuttuwan da suka shafi doka, umarnai, ƙa’idodi ko farillai, dole ku ja musu kunne kada su yi wa Ubangiji zunubi; in ba haka ba fushinsa zai sauko a kanku da’yan’uwanku. Ku yi wannan, ta haka ba za ku kuwa yi zunubi ba.

Whatsoever man of your brethren that dwell in their cities [shall bring] the cause that comes before you, between blood [and] blood, and between precept and commandment, and ordinances and judgments, ye shall even decide for them; so they shall not sin against the Lord, and there shall not be wrath upon you, and upon your brethren: thus ye shall do, and ye shall not sin.

11 “Amariya, babban firist, shi ne zai shugabance ku a kan dukan al’amuran da suke na wajen Ubangiji, Zebadiya ɗan Ishmayel kuwa, shugabanku a kan dukan al’amuran da suka shafi sarki, Lawiyawa kuma za su zama a matsayin manya a gabanku. Ku yi abubuwa da ƙarfin hali, bari kuma Ubangiji yă kasance tare da masu yin gaskiya.”

And, behold, Amarias the priest is head over you in every matter of the Lord; and Zabdias the son of Ismael is head over the house of Juda in every matter of the king; and the scribes and Levites are before you: be strong and active, and the Lord shall be with the good.
