2 Imilando 19

1 UJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda wathi esebuyela eJerusalema esigodlweni sakhe ephephile,

And he returned Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah to house his in safety to Jerusalem.

2 uJehu umboni, indodana kaHanani, waphuma ukuba ayomhlangabeza wasesithi enkosini, “Kufanele yini ukuba uncedise ababi njalo uthande abamzondayo uThixo? Ngenxa yalokho, ulaka lukaThixo luphezu kwakho.

And he went out to face his Jehu [the] son of Hanani the seer and he said to the king Jehoshaphat ¿ the wicked to help and [those who] hate Yahweh will you love? and by this [is] towards you wrath from to before Yahweh.

3 Kodwa-ke kukhona okuhle ngawe, ngoba uziqedile elizweni lonke izinsika zikankulunkulukazi u-Ashera, inhliziyo yakho wayimisela ukudinga uNkulunkulu.”

But things good they have been found with you for you have removed the Asherah poles from the land and you have directed heart your to seek God.

4 UJehoshafathi wayehlala eJerusalema, waphuma wahambela abantu kusukela eBherishebha kusiya elizweni lamaqaqa lako-Efrayimi wabaphendula ukuba bamkhonze uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo.

And he dwelt Jehoshaphat in Jerusalem. And he returned and he went out among the people from Beer Sheba to [the] hill country of Ephraim and he turned back them to Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their.

5 Wakhetha abehluleli elizweni, kuwo wonke amadolobho abiyelweyo akoJuda.

And he appointed judges in the land in all [the] cities of Judah fortified for a city and a city.

6 Wabatshela wathi: “Linanzelele elikwenzayo, ngoba kalehluleli umuntu kodwa lehlulela uThixo, yena uzalisiza ekwahluleleni.

And he said to the judges consider what? [are] you doing for not for humankind you will judge for for Yahweh and with you in a matter of judgment.

7 Ngakho mesabeni uThixo linanzelele elikwenzayo, yahlulelani ngonanzelelo ngoba kuThixo uNkulunkulu wethu kakukho ukwehlulela kubi loba ubandlululo loba ukufumbathisana.”

And therefore let it be [the] dread of Yahweh on you take care and act for there not with Yahweh God our [is] injustice and lifting up of face and taking of a bribe.

8 Lakhona eJerusalema, uJehoshafathi wabeka abaLevi abathile labaphristi lezinhloko zezindlu zabako-Israyeli ukuba balawule umthetho kaThixo balamule lemibango. Babehlala eJerusalema.

And also in Jerusalem he appointed Jehoshaphat some of the Levites and the priests and some of [the] heads of the fathers of Israel for [the] judgment of Yahweh and for dispute[s] and they returned Jerusalem.

9 Wabanika iziqondiso ezithi: “Kumele lethembeke ngokumesaba uThixo, ngobuqotho langenhliziyo nye epheleleyo.

And he commanded to them saying thus you will do! in [the] fear of Yahweh in faithfulness and with a heart complete.

10 Wonke amacala eza kini evela ezihlotsheni zenu kuwo wonke amadolobho elihlala kiwo loba kungamacala okuchitha igazi loba awokwephula umthetho, imilayo, izimiso loba iziqondiso, baxwayiseni ukuba bangoni kuThixo, funa ulaka lwakhe lwehlele phezu kwenu labafowenu. Lingenza lokho aliyikwenza isono.

And every case at law which it will come on you from brothers your - who dwell in cities their between blood - and blood between law and commandment and statutes and judgments and you will warn them and not they will be guilty to Yahweh and it will be wrath towards you and towards brothers your thus you will do! and not you will be guilty.

11 U-Amariya umphristi omkhulu nguye ozalikhangela emsebenzini wonke kaThixo, kuthi uZebhadiya indodana ka-Ishumayeli, umkhokheli wesizwe sakoJuda alikhokhele ezintweni eziqondane lenkosi, abaLevi labo bazakuba yizikhulu zenu. Yenzani ngesibindi, njalo sengathi uThixo angaba lalabo abazakwenza ngobuqotho.”

And here! Amariah [the] priest of the head [will be] over you to every matter of Yahweh and Zebadiah [the] son of Ishmael the leader of [the] house of Judah to every matter of the king and [will be] officials the Levites before you be strong and act so may he be Yahweh with the good.
