२ इतिहास 19
1 यहूदाका राजा यहोशापात सुरक्षासाथ यरूशलेमको आफ्नो दरवार फर्के ।
Once Jehoshaphat had arrived safely home in Jerusalem,
2 तब हनानीका छोरा दर्शी येहू तिनलाई भेट्न आए र यहोशापात राजालाई भने, “के दुष्टलाई तपाईंले सहायता गर्नुपर्छ र? के परमप्रभुलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूलाई तपाईंले प्रेम गर्नुपर्छ र? यस कामको कारणले गर्दा परमप्रभुको क्रोध तपाईंमाथि परेको छ ।
Jehu, son of Hanani, the seer went out to face him. He said to King Jehoshaphat, “Why are you helping the wicked? Why do you love those who hate the Lord? The Lord is angry with you because of this.
3 तापनि तपाईंमा केही असल कुरा छन्, किनभने तपाईंले अशेराका खम्बाहरूलाई देशबाट हटाउनुभएको छ, र तपाईंले आफ्नो हृदय परमप्रभुलाई खोज्नमा लाउनुभएको छ ।”
Even so you've done some good things such as destroying the Asherah poles throughout the country, and you have made a sincere commitment to follow God.”
4 यहोशापातको यरूशलेममा बसे । अनि तिनी फेरि बेर्शेबादेखि एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशमा मानिसहरूका माझमा गए र तिनीहरूलाई परमप्रभु आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरकहाँ फर्काएर ल्याए ।
Jehoshaphat continued living in Jerusalem, and once again he traveled among the people, from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim, to encourage them to serve the Lord, the God of their fathers.
5 यहूदाका किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सबै सहरमा तिनले न्यायकर्ताहरू नियुक्त गरे ।
He appointed judges throughout the country, in all of the fortified towns of Judah.
6 तिनले न्यायकर्ताहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले गर्ने कुरामा ध्यान देओ, किनभने तिमीहरूले मानिसहरूका निम्ति होइन तर परमप्रभुको निम्ति फैसला गर्दछौ । फैसलाको क्रममा उहाँ नै तिमीहरूसँग हुनुहुन्छ ।
He told the judges, “Be careful about what you're doing as judges, because you're not looking for the approval of people, but the approval of the Lord. He is the One with you when you give your verdict.
7 यसैले अब, परमप्रभुको भय तिमीहरूमा रहोस् । न्याय गर्दा होसियार होओ, किनकि परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरमा अधर्म हुँदैन, नत उहाँमा पक्षपात र घूस लिने काम नै हुन्छ ।”
So then, be sure to have reverence for God, obeying him and doing what he wants, for God does not permit any kind of injustice, favoritism, or bribery.”
8 यसबाहेक यहोशापातले यरूशलेममा केही लेवी र पुजारी, र इस्राएलका पुर्ख्यौली घरानाका केही अगुवाहरूलाई परमप्रभुको न्याय कायम राख्न र झगडाहरू मिलउन नियुक्त गरे । तिनीहरू यरूशलेममा बसे ।
Jehoshaphat also appointed in Jerusalem some of the Levites, priests, and family heads to act as judges regarding the law of Lord and to settle disputes. They were to have their courts in Jerusalem.
9 तिनले उनीहरूलाई यसो भनेर निर्देशन दिए, “तिमीहरूले सधैँ परमेश्वरको भय राखेर विश्वाससित र आफ्ना सारा हृदयले काम गर्नुपर्छ ।
He gave them these orders, “You must honor God, and act with faithfulness and complete commitment.
10 जब आफ्ना सहरमा बस्ने तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइबाट तिमीहरूका सामु कुनै पनि मुद्दा आउँछन्, चाहे ती रक्तपातसम्बन्धी होउन्, वा व्यवस्था र आज्ञा, विधिहरू वा आदेशहरूका विरुद्धमा होउन्, तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई चेताउनी दिनू, ताकि तिनीहरू परमप्रभुको अगि दोषी नठहरिऊन्, नत्रता तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइमा क्रोध आइपर्ने छ । तिमीहरूले यसो गर्नू र तिमीहरू सबै दोषी ठहरिने छैनौ ।
In every case that comes before you from your people living in other towns, whether it involves murder or violations of the law, commandment, statutes, or judgments, you are to warn them not to offend the Lord so that punishment does not come upon you and your people. If you do this you will not be held guilty.
11 हेर, परमप्रभुका सबै विषयमा मुख्य पुजारी अमर्याह तिमीहरूमाथि छन् । राजा सम्बन्धमा सबै विषयमा यहूदाका घरानाका अगुवा इश्माएलका छोरा जबदियाह निरीक्षक छन् । साथै लेवीहरूले अधिकारीहरूका रूपमा तिमीहरूका सेवा गर्नेछन् । बलिया होओ र तिमीहरूलाई दिइएका निर्देशनहरू पालना गर, र असल गर्नेहरूका साथमा परमप्रभु रनुभएको होस् ।”
Amariah, the chief priest, will make the final decision for you in everything that relates to the Lord, and Zebadiah, son of Ishmael, the leader of the tribe of Judah, in all that relates to the king. The Levites will serve as officers to assist you. Be firm, and may the Lord be with those who do what is right.”
