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, Shouldst thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore [is] wrath upon thee from before the LORD.
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 taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared 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 through the people from Beer-sheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back to the LORD 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, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD, who [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.
Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do [it]: for [there is] no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.
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 [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.
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 the LORD, 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 whatever cause shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the LORD, and [so] wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass.
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 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 will be with the good.
