2 Nyakati 19
1 Mfalme Yehoshafati wa Yuda akarudi salama kwenye jumba lake la kifalme huko Yerusalemu.
And he returned Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah to house his in safety to Jerusalem.
2 Yehu mwonaji, mwana wa Hanani, akapanda kwenda kuonana naye akamwambia Mfalme Yehoshafati, “Je, utawasaidia waovu na kuwapenda wale wanaomchukia Bwana? Kwa sababu ya jambo hili, ghadhabu ya Bwana iko juu yako.
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 Hata hivyo, kuna mema yaliyoonekana kwako, kwa kuwa umeondoa katika nchi nguzo za Ashera na umeukaza moyo wako katika kumtafuta Mungu.”
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 Yehoshafati aliishi huko Yerusalemu, naye akatoka akaenda tena miongoni mwa watu, kuanzia Beer-Sheba hadi nchi ya vilima ya Efraimu na kuwageuza wakamrudia Bwana, Mungu wa baba zao.
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 Akawaweka waamuzi katika nchi, kwenye miji yote ya Yuda yenye maboma.
And he appointed judges in the land in all [the] cities of Judah fortified for a city and a city.
6 Akawaambia, “Angalieni kwa makini yale mtendayo, kwa kuwa hamkuhukumu kwa ajili ya mwanadamu bali kwa ajili ya Bwana ambaye yu pamoja nanyi kila mtoapo hukumu.
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 Basi sasa hofu ya Bwana na iwe juu yenu. Hukumuni kwa uangalifu, kwa kuwa kwa Bwana Mungu wetu hakuna jambo lisilo la haki, upendeleo, wala rushwa.”
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 Pia huko Yerusalemu, Yehoshafati akaweka baadhi ya Walawi, makuhani na viongozi wa jamaa za Waisraeli ili kutoa hukumu kwa ajili ya Bwana na kuamua magomvi. Nao waliishi huko Yerusalemu.
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 Akawapa maagizo haya: “Ni lazima mtumike kwa uaminifu na kwa moyo wote katika kicho cha Bwana.
And he commanded to them saying thus you will do! in [the] fear of Yahweh in faithfulness and with a heart complete.
10 Katika kila shauri lifikalo mbele yenu kutoka kwa ndugu zenu wale waishio katika miji, ikiwa ni la umwagaji wa damu au mambo mengine yahusuyo sheria, amri, hukumu au maagizo, inawapasa ninyi kuwaonya kwamba wasiingie katika hatia dhidi ya Bwana, la sivyo ghadhabu yake itakuja juu yenu na ndugu zenu. Tendeni hivyo, nanyi hamtatenda dhambi.
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 “Amaria kuhani mkuu atakuwa juu yenu katika jambo lolote linalomhusu Bwana naye Zebadia mwana wa Ishmaeli, kiongozi wa kabila la Yuda, atakuwa juu yenu kwa jambo lolote linalomhusu mfalme, nao Walawi watatumika kama maafisa mbele yenu. Tendeni kwa ujasiri, naye Bwana atakuwa pamoja na wale watendao vyema.”
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.
