2 Chronicles 19
1 Nígbà tí Jehoṣafati ọba Juda padà ní àlàáfíà sí ilé rẹ̀ ní Jerusalẹmu,
And Jehoshaphat king of Judah turns back to his house in peace, to Jerusalem,
2 Jehu aríran, ọmọ Hanani jáde lọ láti lọ pàdé rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún ọba pé, “Ṣé ìwọ yóò máa ran ènìyàn búburú lọ́wọ́, kí o sì fẹ́ràn àwọn tí ó kórìíra Olúwa? Nítorí èyí, ìbínú Olúwa wà lórí wa.
and Jehu son of Hanani the seer goes out to his presence and says to King Jehoshaphat, “Do you love to give help to the wicked and to those hating YHWH? And for this, wrath [is] against you from before YHWH,
3 Bí ó ti wù kí ó rí, ohun rere wà nínú rẹ, nítorí tí ìwọ ti mú àwọn ilé àwọn ère òrìṣà Aṣerah kúrò, tí o sì múra ọkàn rẹ láti wá Ọlọ́run.”
but good things have been found with you, for you have put away the Asheroth out of the land, and have prepared your heart to seek God.”
4 Jehoṣafati sì ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu ó sì jáde lọ padà láàrín àwọn ènìyàn láti Beerṣeba dé òkè ìlú Efraimu, ó sì mú wọn padà sọ́dọ̀ Olúwa Ọlọ́run baba wọn.
And Jehoshaphat dwells in Jerusalem, and he turns back and goes out among the people from Beer-Sheba to the hill-country of Ephraim, and brings them back to YHWH, God of their fathers.
5 Ó sì yan àwọn onídàájọ́ sí ilẹ̀ náà, ní olúkúlùkù ìlú olódi Juda.
And he establishes judges in the land, in all the fortified cities of Judah, for every city,
6 Ó sì wí fun wọ́n pé, “Ẹ kíyèsi ohun tí ẹ̀yin ń ṣe, nítorí ìwọ kò ṣe ìdájọ́ fun ènìyàn ṣùgbọ́n fún Olúwa, ẹni tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ ní ìdájọ́.
and says to the ones judging, “See what you are doing—for you do not judge for man, but for YHWH, who [is] with you in the matter of judgment;
7 Nísinsin yìí jẹ́ kí ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa kí ó wá sí ọkàn rẹ̀. Ṣe ìdájọ́ pẹ̀lẹ́pẹ̀lẹ́, nítorí pẹ̀lú Olúwa Ọlọ́run kò sí àìṣedéédéé tàbí ojúsàájú tàbí gbígba àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀.”
and now, let fear of YHWH be on you, observe and do, for there is not perverseness with our God YHWH, and favoring by appearance, and taking of a bribe.”
8 Ní Jerusalẹmu pẹ̀lú, Jehoṣafati yan díẹ̀ lára àwọn Lefi, àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn olórí ìdílé Israẹli si pípa òfin Olúwa mọ́ àti láti ṣe ìdájọ́. Wọn sì ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu.
And also in Jerusalem, Jehoshaphat has appointed of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the heads of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of YHWH, and for strife; and they return to Jerusalem,
9 Ó sì kìlọ̀ fún wọn wí pé. “Ìwọ gbọdọ̀ sìn pẹ̀lú òtítọ́ àti pẹ̀lú ọkàn pípé ní ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa.
and he lays a charge on them, saying, “Thus do you do in the fear of YHWH, in faithfulness, and with a perfect heart,
10 Ní gbogbo ẹjọ́ tí ó bá wà níwájú rẹ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn arákùnrin yín tí ń gbé ìlú wọn bóyá ẹ̀jẹ̀ tí ń sàn tàbí ìyókù òfin pẹ̀lú, pa á láṣẹ ìlànà àti ẹ̀tọ́, ìwọ gbọdọ̀ kìlọ̀ fún wọn láti má ṣe dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, ìbínú yóò sì wá sórí yín, àti sórí àwọn arákùnrin. Ṣe èyí, ìwọ kì yóò sì jẹ̀bi.
and any strife that comes to you of your brothers who are dwelling in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and command, statutes, and judgments, then you have warned them and they do not become guilty before YHWH, and wrath has not been on you and on your brothers; thus do you do, and you are not guilty.
11 “Amariah àlùfáà ni yóò jẹ́ olórí yín nínú gbogbo ọ̀ràn tí ó jẹ́ ti Olúwa, àti Sebadiah ọmọ Iṣmaeli alákòóso ìdílé Juda, ní yóò jẹ́ olórí ní gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí ọba, àti àwọn ará Lefi pẹ̀lú yin yóò sìn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìjòyè níwájú yín. Ẹ ṣe é pẹ̀lú ìmọ́kànle, Olúwa yóò sì wà pẹ̀lú àwọn tó bá ń ṣe rere.”
And behold, Amariah the head priest [is] over you for every matter of YHWH, and Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the leader of the house of Judah, [is] for every matter of the king, and the Levites [are] officers before you; be strong and do, and YHWH is with the good.”
