II Oihanaalii 19
1 HOI mai la o Iehosapata ke alii o Iuda i kona hale iho ma Ierusalema me ka maluhia.
And Jehoshaphat king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
2 Hele ae la iwaho e halawai pu me ia o Iehu, ke keiki a Hanani ke kaula, olelo aku la i ke alii ia Iehosapata, E pono anei oe ke kokua i ka poe hewa, a e aloha i ka poe i inaina aku ia Iehova? No keia mea, aia maluna ou ka huhu, mai o Iehova mai.
And Jehu the son of Hanani, the seer, went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate Jehovah? Therefore is wrath upon thee from Jehovah.
3 Ua loaa no nae kekahi mau mea maikai iloko ou, no ka mea, ua kipaku oe i na kii o Asetarota mai ka aina aku, a ua hoomakaukau oe i kou naau e imi i ke Akua.
Nevertheless there are good things found in thee; for thou hast put away the Asherahs out of the land, and hast directed thy heart to seek God.
4 Noho iho la o Iehosapata ma Ierusalema, a kaahele ae la ia iwaena o na kanaka, mai Beereseba a i ka mauna o Eperaima, a hoohuli oia ia lakou ia Iehova i ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna.
And Jehoshaphat dwelt in Jerusalem; and he went out again among the people from Beer-sheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back to Jehovah the God of their fathers.
5 Hoonoho oia i mau lunakanawai ma ka aina, ma na kulanakauhale o Iuda i paa i ka pa a pau, ma kela kulanakauhale, keia kulanakauhale.
And he set judges in the land throughout the fortified cities of Judah, city by city.
6 Olelo aku la oia i na lunakanawai, E noonoo oukou i na mea a oukou e hana'i; no ka mea, aole no na kanaka oukou e hooponopono ai, no Iehova no, a oia pu kekahi me oukou i ka hooponopono ana.
And he said to the judges, Take heed what ye do; for ye judge not for man, but for Jehovah, who will be with you in the matter of judgment.
7 Nolaila e kauia mai ka makau ia Iehova maluna o oukou, e malama, e hana hoi; no ka mea, aohe hewa me Iehova ko kakou Akua, aole ia e manao mai i ko ke kanaka kino, aole hoi ia e lawe i ke kipe.
And now, let the terror of Jehovah be upon you; be careful what ye do, for there is no iniquity with Jehovah, nor respect of persons, nor taking of presents.
8 A ma Ierusalema hoi, ua hoonoho o Iehosapata i kekahi poe o na Levi, a me na kahuna, a me kekahi poe luna o na makua o ka Iseraela, e hookolokolo no Iehova i na mea hoopaapaa, i ko lakou hoi ana mai i Ierusalema.
— And moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set some of the Levites and priests, and of the chief fathers of Israel, for the judgment of Jehovah and for causes. — And they returned to Jerusalem.
9 Kauoha aku la oia ia lakou, i aku la, Penei oukou e hana'i me ka makau ia Iehova, a me ka oiaio a me ka naau pololei.
And he charged them saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of Jehovah faithfully and with a perfect heart.
10 A o ka hoopaapaa a pau a ko oukou poe hoahanau e noho ana ma ko oukou kulanakauhale e lawe mai ai io oukou la, mawaena o kekahi koko, a me kekahi koko, a mawaena o ke kanawai, a me ko kauoha, a me na olelo kupaa, a me ka olelo hooponopono, e ao aku oukou ia lakou i hewa ole lakou ia Iehova, o hiki mai ka huhu maluna o oukou, a maluna o ko oukou poe hoahanau: pela oukou e hana'i, a lawehala ole oukou.
And what cause soever comes to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against Jehovah, and so wrath come upon you and upon your brethren: this do and ye shall not trespass.
11 Aia hoi o Amaria ke kahuna, o ko oukou luna ia ma na oihana na Iehova; a o Zebadia, ke keiki a Isemaela, oia ka luna o ka hale o Iuda ma na mea a pau a ke alii; a o na Levi, o lakou kekahi poe luna no oukou. E hoihoi oukou, e hana, a o Iehova pu kekahi me ka mea pono.
And behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of Jehovah, and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, prince of the house of Judah, in all the king's matters; and ye have the Levites before you as officers. Be strong and do it, and Jehovah will be with the good.
