2 Cronicas 19
1 Nakasubli a sikakaradkad ni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda iti balayna idiay Jerusalem.
And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace, to Jerusalem.
2 Kalpasanna, rimmuar a mangsabat kenkuana ni Jehu a propeta a putot ni Hanani ket kinunana kenni Ari Jehosafat, “Rumbeng kadi a tulongam dagiti nadangkes? Rumbeng kadi nga ayatem dagiti manggurgura kenni Yahweh? Gapu iti daytoy nga inaramidmo, kapungtotnaka ni Yahweh.
And there came out to meet him Jehu the son of Chanani the seer, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldst thou help the wicked, and love those that hate the Lord? and because of this there is wrath over thee from before the Lord.
3 Nupay kasta, adda naimbag nga inaramidmo. Inikkatmo dagiti tekken ni Asera iti daga, ken impamaysam ti pusom iti Dios.”
Nevertheless there are good things found on thee; because thou hast removed the Asheroth out of the land, and hast directed thy heart firmly to seek God.
4 Nagnaed ni Jehosafat idiay Jerusalem; ket nagdaliasat manen isuna a napan kadagiti tattao, manipud Beerseba agingga iti katurturodan ti Efraim ket pinagsublina ida kenni Yahweh, a Dios dagiti ammada.
And Jehoshaphat remained at Jerusalem; but he went out again through the people from Beer-sheba' as far as the mountain of Ephraim, and caused them to return unto the Lord the God of their fathers.
5 Nangisaad isuna kadagiti ukom iti amin a nasarikedkedan a siudad ti Juda, iti tunggal siudad ti Juda.
And he appointed judges in the land in all the fortified cities of Judah, in city by city.
6 Kinunana kadagiti ukom, “Panunotenyo ti rumbeng nga aramidenyo, gapu ta saankayo a manguk-ukom para iti tao, ngem para kenni Yahweh; adda isuna kadakayo iti pananguk-ukomyo.
And he said to the judges, Look [well] at what ye are doing; because not for man are ye to judge, but for the Lord, who is with you in pronouncing judgment.
7 Ket ita, umay koma kadakayo ti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh. Agannadkayo no mangukomkayo, ta awan basol kenni Yahweh a Diostayo, wenno awan ti aniaman a panangidumduma wenno pasuksok kenkuana.”
And now let the dread of the Lord be upon you: take heed and act; for with the Lord our God there is no injustice, nor respect for persons, nor taking of bribes.
8 Maysa pay, nangdutok met ni Jehosafat kadagiti sumagmamano a Levita ken papadi idiay Jerusalem ken kadagiti sumagmamano a panguloen kadagiti pamilia dagiti Israelita, a mangukom para kenni Yahweh, ken mangrisut kadagiti pagririan. Agnanaedda idiay Jerusalem.
But also in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat appoint some of the Levites, and the priests, and of the chiefs of the family divisions of Israel, for the [giving of] the judgment of the Lord, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem.
9 Binilinna ida, a kunana, “Aramidenyo dagiti pagrebbenganyo a sibubuteng kenni Yahweh, sipupudno, ken iti isu-aminyo, kastoy ti aramidenyonto:
And he charged on them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the Lord, in faithfulness, and with an undivided heart.
10 No adda idatagda kadakayo a riri manipud kadagiti kakabsatyo nga agnanaed kadagiti siudadda, pammapatay man wenno maipapan kadagiti linteg, bilbilin, alagaden ken paglintegan, nasken a ballaaganyo ida tapno saanda nga agbasol kenni Yahweh, ken tapno saan nga agdissuor ti pungtotna kadakayo ken kadagiti kakabsatyo. No agtinaykayo iti kastoy a wagas, saankayo nga agbasol.
And whatsoever controversy may come to you from your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, ye shall truly warn them that they incur not guilt against the Lord, and so there come wrath over you, and over your brethren: so must ye do, and ye will not incur guilt.
11 Adtoy, ni Amarias, a panguloen a padi, ket isu ti mangimaton kadakayo maipanggep iti amin a banbanag maipapan kenni Yahweh. Ni Zebadias a putot ni Ismael, a mangidadaulo iti balay ti Juda, ket isu ti mangimaton kadagiti amin a pakaseknan ti ari. Kasta met, a dagiti Levita dagiti opisial nga agserbi kadakayo. Agtignaykayo a situtured, ket sapay koma ta adda ni Yahweh kadagiti naimbag.”
And, behold, Amaryahu the chief priest is over you for every matter of the Lord; and Zebadyahu the son of Yishma'el, the ruler for the house of Judah, for every matter of the king; and the Levites are officers before you. Be strong and act, and may the Lord be with the good.
