2 Chronicles 19
1 And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
Judov kralj Józafat pa se je v miru vrnil k svoji hiši v Jeruzalem.
2 And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Should you help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath on you from before the LORD.
Hananíjev sin Jehú, videc, je odšel ven, da ga sreča in kralju Józafatu rekel: »Ali naj bi pomagal brezbožnikom in ljubil tiste, ki sovražijo Gospoda? Zato je izpred Gospoda na tebi bes.
3 Nevertheless there are good things found in you, in that you have taken away the groves out of the land, and have prepared your heart to seek God.
Kljub temu so v tebi najdene dobre stvari v tem, da si iz dežele odvzel ašere in si svoje srce pripravil, da išče Boga.
4 And Jehoshaphat dwelled at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the people from Beersheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back to the LORD God of their fathers.
Józafat je prebival v Jeruzalemu. In odšel je ponovno ven skozi ljudstvo od Beeršébe do gore Efrájim in jih vodil nazaj h Gospodu, Bogu njihovih očetov.
5 And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city,
Postavil je sodnike vsepovsod po deželi, po vseh utrjenih Judovih mestih, mestu za mestom
6 And said to the judges, Take heed what you do: for you judge not for man, but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment.
in sodnikom rekel: »Pazite, kaj počnete, kajti ne sodite za človeka, temveč za Gospoda, ki je z vami v sodbi.
7 Why now let the fear of the LORD be on you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.
Zatorej naj bo sedaj nad vami Gospodov strah. Pazite in to storite, kajti z Gospodom, svojim Bogom, ni krivičnosti, niti oziranja na osebe, niti sprejemanja darov.
8 Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the LORD, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem.
Poleg tega je v Jeruzalemu Józafat postavil od Lévijevcev in od duhovnikov in od vodij Izraelovih očetov za Gospodovo sodbo in za oporekanja, ko so se vrnili v Jeruzalem.
9 And he charged them, saying, Thus shall you do in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
Zadolžil jih je, rekoč: »To boste delali v Gospodovem strahu, zvesto in s popolnim srcem.
10 And what cause soever shall come to you of your brothers that dwell in your cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, you shall even warn them that they trespass not against the LORD, and so wrath come on you, and on your brothers: this do, and you shall not trespass.
Kakršnakoli zadeva bo prišla k vam od vaših bratov, ki prebivajo v svojih mestih, med krvjo in krvjo, med postavo in zapovedjo, zakoni in sodbami, jih boste torej opozorili, da ne prestopajo zoper Gospoda in tako [ne] pride bes nad vas in nad vaše brate. To delajte in se ne boste pregrešili.
11 And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king’s matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and the LORD shall be with the good.
Glejte, véliki duhovnik Amarjá je nad vami v vseh Gospodovih zadevah in Jišmaélov sin Zebadjá, vladar Judove hiše, za vse kraljeve zadeve. Prav tako bodo Lévijevci častniki pred vami. Postopajte pogumno in Gospod bo z dobrim.«
