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

Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to King Jehoshaphat, “Should you help the wicked, and love those who hate the LORD? Because of this, wrath is on you from before 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.”
Nevertheless there are good things found in you, in that you have put away the Asheroth out of the land, and have set your heart to seek God.”

Jehoshaphat lived at Jerusalem; and he went out again amongst the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim, and brought them back to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
5 El srisrngiya mwet nununku nu in kais sie siti kuhlusyukyak in acn Judah,
He set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,
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 said to the judges, “Consider what you do, for you don’t judge for man, but for the LORD; and he is with you in the judgement.
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.”
Now therefore let the fear of the LORD be on you. Take heed and do it; for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.”
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.
Moreover in Jerusalem Jehoshaphat appointed certain Levites, priests, and heads of the fathers’ households of Israel to give judgement for the LORD and for controversies. They returned to Jerusalem.
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.
He commanded them, saying, “You shall do this in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, 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.

Whenever any controversy comes to you from your brothers who dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, you must warn them, that they not be guilty towards the LORD, and so wrath come on you and on your brothers. Do this, and you will not be guilty.
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!”
Behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all the king’s matters. Also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and may the LORD be with the good.”
