< 2 Kroniška 19 >
1 Judov kralj Józafat pa se je v miru vrnil k svoji hiši v Jeruzalem.
And Jehoshaphat king of Judah turns back to his house in peace, to Jerusalem,
2 Hananíjev sin Jehú, videc, je odšel ven, da ga sreča in kralju Józafatu rekel: »Ali naj bi pomagal brezbožnikom in ljubil tiste, ki sovražijo Gospoda? Zato je izpred Gospoda na tebi bes.
and Jehu son of Hanani the seer goes out to his presence and says to King Jehoshaphat, “Do you love to give help to the wicked and to those hating YHWH? And for this, wrath [is] against you from before YHWH,
3 Kljub temu so v tebi najdene dobre stvari v tem, da si iz dežele odvzel ašere in si svoje srce pripravil, da išče Boga.
but good things have been found with you, for you have put away the Asheroth out of the land, and have prepared your heart to seek God.”
4 Józafat je prebival v Jeruzalemu. In odšel je ponovno ven skozi ljudstvo od Beeršébe do gore Efrájim in jih vodil nazaj h Gospodu, Bogu njihovih očetov.
And Jehoshaphat dwells in Jerusalem, and he turns back and goes out among the people from Beer-Sheba to the hill-country of Ephraim, and brings them back to YHWH, God of their fathers.
5 Postavil je sodnike vsepovsod po deželi, po vseh utrjenih Judovih mestih, mestu za mestom
And he establishes judges in the land, in all the fortified cities of Judah, for every city,
6 in sodnikom rekel: »Pazite, kaj počnete, kajti ne sodite za človeka, temveč za Gospoda, ki je z vami v sodbi.
and says to the ones judging, “See what you are doing—for you do not judge for man, but for YHWH, who [is] with you in the matter of judgment;
7 Zatorej naj bo sedaj nad vami Gospodov strah. Pazite in to storite, kajti z Gospodom, svojim Bogom, ni krivičnosti, niti oziranja na osebe, niti sprejemanja darov.
and now, let fear of YHWH be on you, observe and do, for there is not perverseness with our God YHWH, and favoring by appearance, and taking of a bribe.”
8 Poleg tega je v Jeruzalemu Józafat postavil od Lévijevcev in od duhovnikov in od vodij Izraelovih očetov za Gospodovo sodbo in za oporekanja, ko so se vrnili v Jeruzalem.
And also in Jerusalem, Jehoshaphat has appointed of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the heads of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of YHWH, and for strife; and they return to Jerusalem,
9 Zadolžil jih je, rekoč: »To boste delali v Gospodovem strahu, zvesto in s popolnim srcem.
and he lays a charge on them, saying, “Thus do you do in the fear of YHWH, in faithfulness, and with a perfect heart,
10 Kakršnakoli zadeva bo prišla k vam od vaših bratov, ki prebivajo v svojih mestih, med krvjo in krvjo, med postavo in zapovedjo, zakoni in sodbami, jih boste torej opozorili, da ne prestopajo zoper Gospoda in tako [ne] pride bes nad vas in nad vaše brate. To delajte in se ne boste pregrešili.
and any strife that comes to you of your brothers who are dwelling in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and command, statutes, and judgments, then you have warned them and they do not become guilty before YHWH, and wrath has not been on you and on your brothers; thus do you do, and you are not guilty.
11 Glejte, véliki duhovnik Amarjá je nad vami v vseh Gospodovih zadevah in Jišmaélov sin Zebadjá, vladar Judove hiše, za vse kraljeve zadeve. Prav tako bodo Lévijevci častniki pred vami. Postopajte pogumno in Gospod bo z dobrim.«
And behold, Amariah the head priest [is] over you for every matter of YHWH, and Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the leader of the house of Judah, [is] for every matter of the king, and the Levites [are] officers before you; be strong and do, and YHWH is with the good.”
