2 Chronicles 19
1 Jehoshaphat the king of Judah safely returned to his house in Jerusalem.
И возвратися Иосафат царь Иудин в дом свой мирно во Иерусалим.
2 Then Jehu son of Hanani, the seer, went out to meet him and said to King Jehoshaphat, “Should you be helping the wicked? Should you be loving those who hate Yahweh? For this deed, anger from Yahweh is on you.
И изыде во сретение ему Ииуй сын Ананиин пророк и рече к нему: царю Иосафате, нечестиву ли даеши помощь, или ненавидимому от Господа дружиши? И рече ему Ииуй: сего ради бысть на тя гнев Господень:
3 However, there is some good to be found in you, in that you have taken the Asherah poles out of the land, and you have fixed your heart to seek God.”
но токмо дела благая обретошася в тебе, зане отял еси кумиры от земли Иудины и исправил еси сердце твое взыскати Господа.
4 Jehoshaphat lived in 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.
И вселися Иосафат во Иерусалиме, и паки изыде к людем от Вирсавеи даже до горы Ефремли, и возврати их ко Господу Богу отец своих.
5 He placed judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city.
И постави судии во всех градех Иудиных крепких, во всяцем граде,
6 He said to the judges, “Consider what you should do, because you are not judging for man, but for Yahweh; he is with you in the act of judging.
и рече судиям: видите, что вы творите, не человеческий бо вы суд творите, но Господень, и с вами словеса суда:
7 Now then, let the fear of Yahweh be upon you. Be careful when you judge, for there is no iniquity with Yahweh our God, nor is there any favoritism or bribe taking.”
и ныне да будет страх Господень на вас, и храните и творите, яко несть у Господа Бога нашего неправды, ниже дивления лицу, ни приятия мзды.
8 Moreover, in Jerusalem Jehoshaphat appointed some of the Levites and the priests, and some of the heads of the ancestral houses of Israel, for carrying out judgment for Yahweh, and for the sake of disputes. They lived in Jerusalem.
Во Иерусалиме же постави Иосафат левитов и священников и отценачалников от Израиля в суд Господень, да судят живущих во Иерусалиме.
9 He instructed them, saying, “You must serve in reverence for Yahweh, faithfully, and with your whole heart.
Повеле же им, глаголя: тако творите во страсе Господни, во истине и сердцем совершенным:
10 Whenever any dispute comes to you from your brothers who live in their cities, whether concerning bloodshed, whether about laws and commands, statutes or decrees, you must warn them, so they do not become guilty before Yahweh, or anger will come toward you and toward your brothers. You shall do this and you will not be guilty.
всякую распрю, яже приидет к вам, братий ваших обитающих во градех своих, между кровию крове, и между повелением и заповедию, и оправданьми и судбами, разсудите им, да не согрешают Господеви, и не приидет гнев на вас и на братию вашу: тако творите и не согрешите:
11 See, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all the matters of Yahweh. Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the leader of the house of Judah, is in charge of all the matters of the king. Also, the Levites will be officers serving you. Be strong and obey your instructions, and may Yahweh be with those who are good.”
и се Амариа, священник вождь над вами во всяко слово Господне: и Завдиа сын Исмаиль вождь в дому Иудине во всякому слову цареву: и книжницы и левити пред вами: укрепитеся и творите, и будет Господь со благим.
