2 Chronicles 19

1 And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace, to Jerusalem.

A kad se Josafat car Judin vraæaše s mirom kuæi svojoj u Jerusalim,

2 And there came out to meet him Jehu the son of Chanani the seer, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldst thou help the wicked, and love those that hate the Lord? and because of this there is wrath over thee from before the Lord.

Izide preda nj Juj sin Ananijev, vidjelac, i reèe Josafatu: bezbožniku li pomažeš, i one koji mrze na Gospoda ljubiš? zato se podigao na te gnjev Gospodnji.

3 Nevertheless there are good things found on thee; because thou hast removed the Asheroth out of the land, and hast directed thy heart firmly to seek God.

Ali se našlo dobra na tebi što si istrijebio lugove iz zemlje i što si upravio srce svoje da tražiš Boga.

4 And Jehoshaphat remained at Jerusalem; but he went out again through the people from Beer-sheba' as far as the mountain of Ephraim, and caused them to return unto the Lord the God of their fathers.

Potom Josafat sjeðaše u Jerusalimu, i opet proðe po narodu od Virsaveje do gore Jefremove, i povrati ih ka Gospodu Bogu otaca njihovijeh.

5 And he appointed judges in the land in all the fortified cities of Judah, in city by city.

I postavi sudije u zemlji po svijem tvrdijem gradovima Judinijem, u svakom gradu.

6 And he said to the judges, Look [well] at what ye are doing; because not for man are ye to judge, but for the Lord, who is with you in pronouncing judgment.

I reèe sudijama: gledajte šta æete raditi, jer neæete suditi za èovjeka nego za Gospoda, koji je s vama kad sudite.

7 And now let the dread of the Lord be upon you: take heed and act; for with the Lord our God there is no injustice, nor respect for persons, nor taking of bribes.

Zato neka bude strah Gospodnji u vama; pazite i radite, jer u Gospoda Boga našega nema nepravde, niti gleda ko je ko, niti prima poklona.

8 But also in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat appoint some of the Levites, and the priests, and of the chiefs of the family divisions of Israel, for the [giving of] the judgment of the Lord, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem.

Takoðer i u Jerusalimu postavi Josafat od Levita i sveštenika i glavara domova otaèkih u Izrailju za sudove Gospodnje i za raspre; jer dolažahu opet u Jerusalim.

9 And he charged on them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the Lord, in faithfulness, and with an undivided heart.

I zapovjedi im govoreæi: tako radite u strahu Gospodnjem, vjerno i cijela srca.

10 And whatsoever controversy may come to you from your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, ye shall truly warn them that they incur not guilt against the Lord, and so there come wrath over you, and over your brethren: so must ye do, and ye will not incur guilt.

I u svakoj parnici koja doðe k vama od braæe vaše što sjede po gradovima svojim, da rasudite izmeðu krvi i krvi, izmeðu zakona i zapovijesti, izmeðu uredaba i sudova, obavijestite ih da ne bi griješili Gospodu, da ne bi došao gnjev njegov na vas i na braæu vašu; tako èinite, te neæete zgriješiti.

11 And, behold, Amaryahu the chief priest is over you for every matter of the Lord; and Zebadyahu the son of Yishma'el, the ruler for the house of Judah, for every matter of the king; and the Levites are officers before you. Be strong and act, and may the Lord be with the good.

I evo, Amarija poglavar sveštenièki biæe nad vama u svijem poslovima Gospodnjim, a Zavdija sin Ismailov voð doma Judina u svijem poslovima carskim; takoðer Leviti upravitelji biæe uz vas. Budite slobodni, i radite, i Gospod æe biti s dobrijem.
