Taariikhdii Labaad 19

1 Markaasaa Yehooshaafaad oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah nabad ugu noqday gurigiisa Yeruusaalem ku yaal.

And Josaphat king of Juda returned to his house at Jerusalem.

2 Oo waxaa baxay oo isagii ka hor tegey Yeehuu ina Xanaanii oo wax arkihii ahaa, oo wuxuu Boqor Yehooshaafaad ku yidhi, War ma waxaa kuu ekayd inaad caawiso kuwa sharka ah iyo inaad jeclaato kuwo Rabbiga neceb? Waxan daraaddiis waxaa kugu soo degtay cadho Rabbiga hortiisa ka timid.

And there went out to meet him Jeu the prophet the son of Anani, and said to him, King Josaphat, doest thou help a sinner, or act friendly towards one hated of the Lord? Therefore has wrath come upon thee from the Lord.

3 Habase ahaatee waxyaalo wanaagsan baa lagaa helay, maxaa yeelay, waxaad dalka ka saartay geedihii Asheeraah, oo qalbigaagana waxaad u diyaarisay inaad Rabbiga doondoonto.

Nevertheless [some] good things have been found in thee, forasmuch as thou didst remove the groves from the land of Juda, and didst direct thine heart to seek after the Lord.

4 Yehooshaafaad wuxuu degganaan jiray Yeruusaalem, oo haddana wuxuu dhex maray dadkii tan iyo Bi'ir Shebac iyo ilaa dalka buuraha leh oo reer Efrayim, oo iyagii wuxuu u soo celiyey Rabbiga ah Ilaahii awowayaashood.

And Josaphat dwelt in Jerusalem: and he again went out among the people from Bersabee to the mount of Ephraim, and turned them back to the Lord God of their fathers.

5 Oo dalkii oo dhan iyo magaalooyinkii deyrka lahaa oo dadka Yahuudah wuxuu magaalo ka magaalo fadhiisiyey xaakinno.

And he appointed judges in all the strong cities of Juda, city by city.

6 Oo xaakinnadiina wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxa aad samaynaysaan ka fiirsada, waayo, idinku garsoorid dad u samayn maysaan, laakiinse waxaad u samaynaysaan Rabbiga, oo weliba isaguna garsooridda wuu idinla weheliyaa.

And he said to the judges, Take good heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, and with you are matters of judgment.

7 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiga ka cabsada, iska jira, oo saas yeela, waayo, xagga Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ah dembi ma jiro, dadkana looma kala eexdo, laaluushna lama qaato.

And now let the fear of the Lord be upon you, and be wary, and do [your duty]: for there is no unrighteousness with the Lord our God, neither [is it for him] to respect persons, nor take bribes.

8 Oo markay Yeruusaalem ku noqdeen ayaa Yehooshaafaad weliba Yeruusaalemna fadhiisiyey kuwii reer Laawi iyo wadaaddadii iyo madaxdii reeraha dadka Israa'iil inay sameeyaan Rabbiga garsooriddiisa iyo inay kuwii murma u garsooraan.

Moreover Josaphat appointed in Jerusalem some of the priests, and Levites, and heads of houses of Israel, for the judgment of the Lord, and to judge the dwellers in Jerusalem.

9 Oo wuxuu iyagii amray oo ku yidhi, Saas yeela idinkoo Rabbiga ka cabsanaya oo aamin ah oo qalbigiinnu qumman yahay.

And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the Lord, in truth and with a perfect heart.

10 Oo mar alla markii dacwo idiinka timaado walaalihiinna magaalooyinkooda deggan, taasoo u dhexaysa oo ah dhiig iyo dhiig, iyo sharci iyo amar, iyo qaynuun iyo xukummo, de markaas waa inaad u digtaan si aanay Rabbiga ugu dembaabin, oo aan taas aawadeed cadhada Rabbigu ugu soo degin idinka iyo walaalihiinba. Saas yeela oo eed lahaan maysaan.

Whatsoever man of your brethren that dwell in their cities [shall bring] the cause that comes before you, between blood [and] blood, and between precept and commandment, and ordinances and judgments, ye shall even decide for them; so they shall not sin against the Lord, and there shall not be wrath upon you, and upon your brethren: thus ye shall do, and ye shall not sin.

11 Oo bal eega, axwaasha Rabbiga oo dhan waxaa idiinku sarrayn doona Amaryaah ah wadaadka sare, oo axwaasha boqorka oo dhanna waxaa idiinku sarrayn doona Sebadyaah ina Ismaaciil oo ah taliyaha reer Yahuudah, oo weliba reer Laawina hortiinnay saraakiil ku ahaan doonaan. Haddaba dhiirranaada oo Rabbiguna ha la jiro kuwii wanaagga sameeya.

And, behold, Amarias the priest is head over you in every matter of the Lord; and Zabdias the son of Ismael is head over the house of Juda in every matter of the king; and the scribes and Levites are before you: be strong and active, and the Lord shall be with the good.
