2Jehu 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.
2 Yehu Hanani izo kaŋ ga fonnay, nga mo fatta zama nga ma bonkoono kubay se. Kal a ne bonkoono Yehosafat se: «A ga hima ni se ni ma boro laaley gaa, wala? Ni ma ba borey kaŋ yaŋ ga konna Rabbi? Woodin se binde Rabbi futay korna go ni boŋ.

3Nevertheless 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.”
3 Kulu nda yaadin a na hari hanno fooyaŋ gar ni do, za kaŋ ni na wayboro himandi bundu toorey kaa laabo ra, ni na ni bina daŋ mo ni ma Irikoy ceeci.»
3Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast put away the Asheroth out of the land, and hast set thy heart to seek God.
4Jehoshaphat 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.
4 Yehosafat binde goro Urusalima ra. A ye ka fatta koyne ka furo borey ra za Beyer-Seba kal a koy Ifraymu tondey gaa. A ye ka kand'ey Rabbi i kaayey Irikoyo do.
4And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again among the people from Beer-sheba to the hill-country of Ephraim, and brought them back unto Jehovah, the God of their fathers.
5He set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,
5 A na ciitikoyaŋ mo daŋ laabo ra, Yahuda galley kulu kaŋ yaŋ gonda wongu cinarey ra, gallu ka koy gallu.
5And he set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,
6and 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.
6 A ne ciitikoy se: «Araŋ ma laakal da haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga te, zama ciito kaŋ araŋ ga te, manti boro goy no, amma Rabbi goy no. Nga mo go araŋ banda ciiti ra.
6and said to the judges, Consider what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for Jehovah; and [he is] with you in the judgment.
7Now 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.”
7 Woodin sabbay se, Rabbi humburkumay ma goro araŋ do. Araŋ ma laakal nda haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga te, zama laala si no Rabbi iri Irikoyo do, baar'a-baar'a si no, me-daabu taayaŋ mo si no.»

8Moreover in Jerusalem Jehoshaphat appointed Levites and priests, and of the heads of the fathers’ households of Israel, for the judgment of Yahweh, and for controversies. They returned to Jerusalem.

8Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites and the priests, and of the heads of the fathers' [houses] of Israel, for the judgment of Jehovah, and for controversies. And they returned to Jerusalem.
9He commanded them, saying, “Thus you shall do in the fear of Yahweh, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
9 A n'i lordi mo ka ne: «Ya-cine no araŋ ga te Rabbi humburkumay ra, da naanay, da bine folloŋ.
9And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of Jehovah, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
10Whenever any controversy shall come to you from your brothers who dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, you shall warn them, that they not be guilty towards Yahweh, and so wrath come on you and on your brothers. Do this, and you shall not be guilty.
