2 Chronicles 19
1 And Jehoshaphat king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
Reversus est autem Iosaphat rex Iuda in domum suam pacifice in Ierusalem.
2 And Jehu the son of Hanani, the seer, went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate Jehovah? Therefore is wrath upon thee from Jehovah.
Cui occurrit Iehu filius Henani Videns, et ait ad eum: Impio præbes auxilium, et his qui oderunt Dominum amicitia iungeris, et idcirco iram quidem Domini merebaris:
3 Nevertheless there are good things found in thee; for thou hast put away the Asherahs out of the land, and hast directed thy heart to seek God.
sed bona opera inventa sunt in te, eo quod abstuleris lucos de terra Iuda, et præparaveris cor tuum ut requireres Dominum Deum patrum tuorum.
4 And Jehoshaphat dwelt in Jerusalem; and he went out again among the people from Beer-sheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back to Jehovah the God of their fathers.
Habitavit ergo Iosaphat in Ierusalem: rursumque egressus est ad populum de Bersabee usque ad montem Ephraim, et revocavit eos ad Dominum Deum patrum suorum.
5 And he set judges in the land throughout the fortified cities of Judah, city by city.
Constituitque iudices terræ in cunctis civitatibus Iuda munitis per singula loca,
6 And he said to the judges, Take heed what ye do; for ye judge not for man, but for Jehovah, who will be with you in the matter of judgment.
et præcipiens iudicibus, Videte, ait, quid faciatis: non enim hominis exercetis iudicium, sed Domini: et quodcumque iudicaveritis, in vos redundabit.
7 And now, let the terror of Jehovah be upon you; be careful what ye do, for there is no iniquity with Jehovah, nor respect of persons, nor taking of presents.
Sit timor Domini vobiscum, et cum diligentia cuncta facite: non est enim apud Dominum Deum nostrum iniquitas, nec personarum acceptio, nec cupido munerum.
8 — And moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set some of the Levites and priests, and of the chief fathers of Israel, for the judgment of Jehovah and for causes. — And they returned to Jerusalem.
In Ierusalem quoque constituit Iosaphat Levitas, et Sacerdotes, et Principes familiarum ex Israel, ut iudicium et causam Domini iudicarent habitatoribus eius.
9 And he charged them saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of Jehovah faithfully and with a perfect heart.
Præcepitque eis, dicens: Sic agetis in timore Domini fideliter et corde perfecto.
10 And what cause soever comes to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against Jehovah, and so wrath come upon you and upon your brethren: this do and ye shall not trespass.
Omnem causam, quæ venerit ad vos fratrum vestrorum, qui habitant in urbibus suis inter cognationem et cognationem, ubicumque quæstio est de lege, de mandato, de ceremoniis, de iustificationibus: ostendite eis, ut non peccent in Dominum, et ne veniat ira super vos et super fratres vestros: sic ergo agentes non peccabitis.
11 And behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of Jehovah, and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, prince of the house of Judah, in all the king's matters; and ye have the Levites before you as officers. Be strong and do it, and Jehovah will be with the good.
Amarias autem sacerdos et pontifex vester, in his, quæ ad Deum pertinent, præsidebit: porro Zabadias filius Ismahel, qui est dux in domo Iuda, super ea opera erit, quæ ad regis officium pertinent: habetisque magistros Levitas coram vobis, confortamini, et agite diligenter, et erit Dominus vobiscum in bonis.
