2 Chronicles 19
1 And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned unto his own house in peace, to Jerusalem.
ユダの王ヨシヤパテは恙なくヱルサレムに歸りてその家に至れり
2 And there came out to meet him, Jehu son of Hanani, the seer, who said unto King Jehoshaphat, Unto the lawless, was it [right] to give help? and, on them who hate Yahweh, to bestow thy love? For this cause, therefore, is there wrath against thee, from before Yahweh;
時に先見者ハナニの子ヱヒウ、ヨシヤパテ王を出むかへて之に言けるは汝惡き者を助けヱホバを惡む者を愛して可らんや之がためにヱホバの前より震怒なんぢの上に臨む
3 howbeit, good things, are found with thee, -for that thou hast consumed the Sacred Stems out of the land, and hast fixed thy heart to seek God.
然ながら善事もまた汝の身に見ゆ即ち汝はアシラ像を國中より除きかつ心を傾けて神を求むるなりと
4 So Jehoshaphat dwelt in Jerusalem, —and he again went forth among the people, from Beersheba as far as the hill country of Ephraim, and brought them back unto Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
ヨシヤパテはヱルサレムに住をりしが復出てベエルシバよりエフライムの山地まで民の間を行めぐりその先祖の神ヱホバにこれを導き歸せり
5 And he stationed judges in the land, throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city;
彼またユダの一切の堅固なる邑に裁判人を立つ國中の邑々みな然り
6 and said unto the judges, See what, ye, are doing, inasmuch as, not for man, must ye judge, but for Yahweh, —who will be with you, in the word of justice.
而して裁判人に言けるは汝等その爲ところを愼め汝らは人のために裁判するに非ずヱホバのために裁判するなり裁判する時にはヱホバ汝らと偕にいます
7 Now, therefore, let the dread of Yahweh be upon you, —observe and do, for there is, with Yahweh our God, neither perversity nor respect of persons nor the taking of bribes.
然ば汝らヱホバを畏れ愼みて事をなせ我らの神ヱホバは惡き事なく人を偏視ことなく賄賂を取こと無ればなり
8 And, even in Jerusalem, did Jehoshaphat station some of the Levites and the priests, and of the ancestral chiefs of Israel, to pronounce the just sentence of Yahweh, and to settle disputes, —when they returned to Jerusalem.
ヨシヤパテまたレビ人祭司およびイスラエルの族長を選びてヱルサレムに置きヱホバの事および訴訟を審判しむ彼らはヱルサレムにかへれり
9 And he laid charge upon them, saying, —Thus, shall ye act, in the fear of Yahweh, faithfully and with an undivided heart.
ヨシヤパテこれに命じて云く汝らヱホバを畏れ眞實と誠心をもて斯おこなふべし
10 Any dispute that shall come in unto you from among your brethren who are dwelling in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment and statutes and regulations, then shall ye warn them, that they may not become guilty against Yahweh, and so wrath come upon you and upon your brethren, —Thus, shall ye act, and not incur guilt.
凡てその邑々に住む汝らの兄弟血を相流せる事または律法と誡命法度と條例などの事につきて汝らに訴へ出ること有ばこれを諭してヱホバに罪を犯さざらしめよ恐らくは震怒なんぢと汝らの兄弟にのぞまん汝ら斯おこなはば愆なかるべし
11 And lo! Amariah the chief priest, is over you as to every matter of Yahweh, and Zebadiah son of Ishmael the chief ruler for the house of Judah, as to every matter of the king, and, as officers, the Levites are before you, —Be strong and act, and Yahweh be with the good!
視よ祭司の長アマリヤ汝らの上にありてヱホバの事を凡て司どりユダの家の宰イシマエルの子ゼバデヤ王の事を凡て司どる亦レビ人汝らの前にありて官吏とならん汝ら心を強くして事をなせヱホバ善人を祐けたまふべし
