Luo Chronicle 19

1 Tokosra Jehoshaphat lun acn Judah el moul foloko nu in lohm sin tokosra in acn Jerusalem.

Then Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, returned in peace to his house in Jerusalem.

2 Mwet palu Jehu, wen natul Hanani, el som in osun nu sin tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Ku kom nunku mu wo in kasru mwet koluk, ac in wi layen lun mwet su kwase LEUM GOD? Ma kom oru inge pa pwanang kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD in tuku nu fom.

And the seer Jehu, the son of Hanani, met him, and said to him: “You offer assistance to the impious, and you are joined in friendship with those who hate the Lord. And for this reason, you certainly deserve the wrath of the Lord.

3 Tuh finne ouinge, oasr na ma wo in kom. Kom kunausla ma sruloala nukewa kacl god mutan Asherah su mwet uh alu nu kac, ac kom sang insiom in fahsr tukun ma lungse lun God.”

But good works have been found in you. For you have taken away the sacred groves from the land of Judah. And you have prepared your heart, so as to seek the Lord, the God of your fathers.”

4 Tokosra Jehoshaphat el finne muta in acn Jerusalem, el forfor pacl nukewa inmasrlon mwet lal, mutawauk Beersheba in acn eir, nwe ke sisken infulan eol in acn Ephraim nu epang, tuh elan folokonma mwet uh nu sin LEUM GOD lun papa tumalos.

Then Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem. And again he went out to the people, from Beersheba as far as mount Ephraim. And he called them back to the Lord, the God of their fathers.

5 El srisrngiya mwet nununku nu in kais sie siti kuhlusyukyak in acn Judah,

And he appointed judges of the land, in all the fortified cities of Judah, in each place.

6 ac fahk nu selos, “Karinganang ma kowos wotela ke pacl in nununku lowos uh. Kowos tia orekma ke ku lun mwet, a ke ku lun LEUM GOD. El ac wi kowos in orala nununku suwohs.

And instructing the judges, he said: “Pay attention to what you are doing. For you exercise judgment, not of man, but of the Lord. And whatever you will have judged, it will come back to you.

7 Akfulatye LEUM GOD ac taran orekma lowos, mweyen LEUM GOD lasr El tia lela in oasr kutasrik, ku wiwikas, ku eis mol sin mwet orek eyeinse.”

Let the fear of the Lord be with you, and do all things with diligence. For there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor desire for gifts.”

8 In acn Jerusalem Jehoshaphat el srisrngiya mwet Levi, mwet tol, ac sifen sou, in mwet nununku ke pacl oasr lainyen ma sap lun LEUM GOD, ku ke amei inmasrlon mwet in siti sac.

Jehoshaphat also appointed Levites and priests and leaders of families, out of Israel, in Jerusalem, so that they might judge the judgment and purpose of the Lord for its inhabitants.

9 El fahk suwoswos nu selos, “Ke kowos oru orekma lowos, kowos enenu in oru in akfulatye LEUM GOD, ac kowos in oaru in aksol in ma nukewa kowos oru.

And he instructed them, saying, “So shall you act: faithfully, in the fear of the Lord, and with a perfect heart.

10 Kutena pacl mwet liwos fin tuku liki siti selos ac use tukak ke akmas, ku ke kutena lumah ma lain ma sap ac ma oakwuk, kowos enenu in akkalemye nu selos ouiya fal elos in oru ke pacl in nununku, tuh elos in tia tafongla ac oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD. Kowos fin tia oru ouinge, kowos ac mwet liwos ac fah pula kasrkusrak lulap lun LEUM GOD. A kowos fin oru ma kunowos in wo, na ac fah wangin mwatuwos.

Every case that will come to you from your brothers, who live in their cities, between kindred and kindred, wherever there is a question concerning law, commandment, ceremonies, or justifications, reveal it to them, so that they may not sin against the Lord, and so that wrath may not overwhelm you and your brothers. Then, by acting in this way, you will not sin.

11 Amariah, Mwet Tol Fulat, pa ac oru nununku safla ke ip lun alu, ac Zebadiah wen natul Ishmael, governor lun Judah, pa ac oru nununku safla ke ip lun government. Ma kunen mwet Levi in liye tuh ma wotla nukewa ke pacl in nununku in fahla oana ma wotla. Kowos in pulaik na in karingin ma inge, ac lela LEUM GOD Elan wi layen ma suwohs!”

But Amariah, a priest and your high priest, shall preside over those things which pertain to God. Then Zebadiah, the son of Ishmael, who is a ruler in the house of Judah, shall be over those works that pertain to the office of the king. And you have before you the Levites as teachers. Be strengthened and act diligently, and the Lord will be with you for what is good.”
