And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
2 Le niavotse nifanalaka ama’e t’Iehò ana’ i Kananý mpioniñe, nanao ty hoe am’ Iehosafate mpanjaka: Ho nolora’o hao ty lo-tsereke; ho nikokoa’o hao ty malaiñe Iehovà? Hametsaha’ Iehovà haviñerañe!
And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Should you help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath on you from before the LORD.

6 le hoe re amo mpizakao: Ereñereo o anoe’ areoo; toe tsy ama’ ondaty ty fizaka’areo, fa ama’ Iehovà, Ie ty mañimba anahareo mizakao.
And said to the judges, Take heed what you do: for you judge not for man, but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment.
7 Ee arè, te ho ama’areo ty fañeveñañe ama’ Iehovà; mitaoa vaho mitoloña; fa tsy aman-tahiñe t’Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika ndra firihiañe ndra fandrambesam-bokàñe.
Why now 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 gifts.
8 Mbore nampijadoñe nte-Levy naho mpisoroñe vaho talèn’ anjomban-droae’ Israele e Ierosalaime ao t’Iehosafate ho ami’ty fizakà’ Iehovà naho ty hizakàñe o mpilie-drokoñe amo mpimoneñe e Ierosalameo.

10 Aa ndra mbia’ mbia te tendrek’ ama’ areo boak’ aman-drolongo’ areo mpimoneñe an-drova’ iareo ao, añivo’ ty lio naho ty lio, añivo’ t’i Hake naho ty faly, ty fañè naho ty fepètse, le ho hatahatae’ areo, ehe, tsy hanan-tahiñe am’ Iehovà, hampifetsahan-kaviñerañe ama’ areo naho aman-drolongo’ areo; ano izay, tsy hampanan-kakeo anahareo.
And what cause soever shall come to you of your brothers that dwell in your cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, you shall even warn them that they trespass not against the LORD, and so wrath come on you, and on your brothers: this do, and you shall not trespass.
11 Ingo, hifehe anahareo amy ze hene raha’ Iehovà t’i Amarià mpisorom-bey; naho amo raham-panjaka iabio i Zebadià, ana’ Ismaele, talèn’ anjomba Iehodà; vaho añatrefa’ areo o mpifeleke nte-Levio. Mahasibeha am-pitoloñañe le himbae’ Iehovà o vantañeo.
And, 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, for all the king’s matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and the LORD shall be with the good.
