2 Chronicles 19
1 Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
Aa le nimpoly an-kanintsiñe mb’ añ’anjomba’e e Ierosalaime añe t’Iehosafate.
2 Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to King Jehoshaphat, “Should you help the wicked, and love those who hate Yahweh? Because of this, wrath is on you from before Yahweh.
Le niavotse nifanalaka ama’e t’Iehò ana’ i Kananý mpioniñe, nanao ty hoe am’ Iehosafate mpanjaka: Ho nolora’o hao ty lo-tsereke; ho nikokoa’o hao ty malaiñe Iehovà? Hametsaha’ Iehovà haviñerañe!
3 Nevertheless there are good things found in you, in that you have put away the Asheroth out of the land, and have set your heart to seek God.”
F’ie ahaoniñan-tsoa, kanao naria’o an-tane atoy o hazomangao vaho nitambozora’o arofo hitsoek’ an’ Andrianañahare.
4 Jehoshaphat lived at Jerusalem; and he went out again among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim, and brought them back to Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
Aa le nimoneñe e Ierosalaime ao t’Iehosafate naho niavotse indraike mb’am’ ondaty mifotots’ e Beersevà pak’ ambohibohi’ i Efraimeo vaho nampoli’e am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ iareo.
5 He set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,
Le nampijadoña’e mpizaka an-tane ao; amo rova-fatratse e Iehoda iabio kirova-drova,
6 and said to the judges, “Consider what you do, for you don’t judge for man, but for Yahweh; and he is with you in the judgment.
le hoe re amo mpizakao: Ereñereo o anoe’ areoo; toe tsy ama’ ondaty ty fizaka’areo, fa ama’ Iehovà, Ie ty mañimba anahareo mizakao.
7 Now therefore let the fear of Yahweh be on you. Take heed and do it; for there is no iniquity with Yahweh our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.”
Ee arè, te ho ama’areo ty fañeveñañe ama’ Iehovà; mitaoa vaho mitoloña; fa tsy aman-tahiñe t’Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika ndra firihiañe ndra fandrambesam-bokàñe.
8 Moreover in Jerusalem Jehoshaphat appointed certain Levites, priests, and heads of the fathers’ households of Israel to give judgment for Yahweh and for controversies. They returned to Jerusalem.
Mbore nampijadoñe nte-Levy naho mpisoroñe vaho talèn’ anjomban-droae’ Israele e Ierosalaime ao t’Iehosafate ho ami’ty fizakà’ Iehovà naho ty hizakàñe o mpilie-drokoñe amo mpimoneñe e Ierosalameo.
9 He commanded them, saying, “You shall do this in the fear of Yahweh, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
Le nafanto’e am’ iereo ty hoe: Hanoe’ areo am-pañeveñañe ama’ Iehovà o raha zao, am-pigahiñañe naho an-kaampon’arofo.
10 Whenever any controversy comes to you from your brothers who dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, you must warn them, that they not be guilty toward Yahweh, and so wrath come on you and on your brothers. Do this, and you will not be guilty.
Aa ndra mbia’ mbia te tendrek’ ama’ areo boak’ aman-drolongo’ areo mpimoneñe an-drova’ iareo ao, añivo’ ty lio naho ty lio, añivo’ t’i Hake naho ty faly, ty fañè naho ty fepètse, le ho hatahatae’ areo, ehe, tsy hanan-tahiñe am’ Iehovà, hampifetsahan-kaviñerañe ama’ areo naho aman-drolongo’ areo; ano izay, tsy hampanan-kakeo anahareo.
11 Behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of Yahweh; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all the king’s matters. Also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and may Yahweh be with the good.”
Ingo, hifehe anahareo amy ze hene raha’ Iehovà t’i Amarià mpisorom-bey; naho amo raham-panjaka iabio i Zebadià, ana’ Ismaele, talèn’ anjomba Iehodà; vaho añatrefa’ areo o mpifeleke nte-Levio. Mahasibeha am-pitoloñañe le himbae’ Iehovà o vantañeo.
