2 Dnevnika 19
1 A kad se Josafat car Judin vraæaše s mirom kuæi svojoj u Jerusalim,
And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
2 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.
And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the wicked, and love them that hate Jehovah? for this thing wrath is upon thee from before Jehovah.
3 Ali se našlo dobra na tebi što si istrijebio lugove iz zemlje i što si upravio srce svoje da tražiš Boga.
Nevertheless 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.
4 Potom Josafat sjeðaše u Jerusalimu, i opet proðe po narodu od Virsaveje do gore Jefremove, i povrati ih ka Gospodu Bogu otaca njihovijeh.
And 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.
5 I postavi sudije u zemlji po svijem tvrdijem gradovima Judinijem, u svakom gradu.
And he set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,
6 I reèe sudijama: gledajte šta æete raditi, jer neæete suditi za èovjeka nego za Gospoda, koji je s vama kad sudite.
and 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.
7 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.
Now therefore let the fear of Jehovah be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with Jehovah our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.
8 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.
Moreover 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.
9 I zapovjedi im govoreæi: tako radite u strahu Gospodnjem, vjerno i cijela srca.
And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of Jehovah, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
10 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.
And whensoever any controversy shall come to you from your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, ye shall warn them, that they be not guilty towards Jehovah, and so wrath come upon you and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not be guilty.
11 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.
And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of Jehovah; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all the king’s matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and Jehovah be with the good.
