2 Chronicles 19

1 Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.

A kad se Josafat car Judin vraæaše s mirom kuæi svojoj u Jerusalim,

2 Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to King Jehoshaphat, “Should you help the wicked, and love those who hate the LORD? Because of this, wrath is on you from before the LORD.

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.

3 Nevertheless there are good things found in you, in that you have put away the Asheroth out of the land, and have set your heart to seek God.”

Ali se našlo dobra na tebi što si istrijebio lugove iz zemlje i što si upravio srce svoje da tražiš Boga.

4 Jehoshaphat lived at Jerusalem; and he went out again amongst the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim, and brought them back to the LORD, the God of their fathers.

Potom Josafat sjeðaše u Jerusalimu, i opet proðe po narodu od Virsaveje do gore Jefremove, i povrati ih ka Gospodu Bogu otaca njihovijeh.

5 He set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,

I postavi sudije u zemlji po svijem tvrdijem gradovima Judinijem, u svakom gradu.

6 and said to the judges, “Consider what you do, for you don’t judge for man, but for the LORD; and he is with you in the judgement.

I reèe sudijama: gledajte šta æete raditi, jer neæete suditi za èovjeka nego za Gospoda, koji je s vama kad sudite.

7 Now therefore let the fear of the LORD be on you. Take heed and do it; for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.”

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.

8 Moreover in Jerusalem Jehoshaphat appointed certain Levites, priests, and heads of the fathers’ households of Israel to give judgement for the LORD and for controversies. They returned to Jerusalem.

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.

9 He commanded them, saying, “You shall do this in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.

I zapovjedi im govoreæi: tako radite u strahu Gospodnjem, vjerno i cijela srca.

10 Whenever any controversy comes to you from your brothers who dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, you must warn them, that they not be guilty towards the LORD, and so wrath come on you and on your brothers. Do this, and you will not be guilty.

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.

11 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, in all the king’s matters. Also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and may the LORD be with the good.”

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.
