Taariikhdii Labaad 19
1 Markaasaa Yehooshaafaad oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah nabad ugu noqday gurigiisa Yeruusaalem ku yaal.
Once Jehoshaphat had arrived safely home in 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.
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 Habase ahaatee waxyaalo wanaagsan baa lagaa helay, maxaa yeelay, waxaad dalka ka saartay geedihii Asheeraah, oo qalbigaagana waxaad u diyaarisay inaad Rabbiga doondoonto.
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 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.
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 Oo dalkii oo dhan iyo magaalooyinkii deyrka lahaa oo dadka Yahuudah wuxuu magaalo ka magaalo fadhiisiyey xaakinno.
He appointed judges throughout the country, in all of the fortified towns of Judah.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Oo wuxuu iyagii amray oo ku yidhi, Saas yeela idinkoo Rabbiga ka cabsanaya oo aamin ah oo qalbigiinnu qumman yahay.
He gave them these orders, “You must honor God, and act with faithfulness and complete commitment.
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.
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 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.
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.”
