2 Chronicles 19
1 And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
Judov kralj Józafat pa se je v miru vrnil k svoji hiši v Jeruzalem.
2 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 the LORD? for this thing wrath is upon thee from before the LORD.
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.
3 Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast put away the Asheroth out of the land, and hast set thine heart to seek God.
Kljub temu so v tebi najdene dobre stvari v tem, da si iz dežele odvzel ašere in si svoje srce pripravil, da išče Boga.
4 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 the LORD, the God of their fathers.
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.
5 And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city,
Postavil je sodnike vsepovsod po deželi, po vseh utrjenih Judovih mestih, mestu za mestom
6 and said to the judges, Consider what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD; and [he is] with you in the judgment.
in sodnikom rekel: »Pazite, kaj počnete, kajti ne sodite za človeka, temveč za Gospoda, ki je z vami v sodbi.
7 Now therefore 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.
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.
8 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 the LORD, and for controversies. And they returned to Jerusalem.
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.
9 And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
Zadolžil jih je, rekoč: »To boste delali v Gospodovem strahu, zvesto in s popolnim srcem.
10 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 judgments, ye shall warn them, that they be not guilty towards the LORD, and so wrath come upon you and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not be guilty.
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.
11 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, in all the king’s matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and the LORD be with the good.
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.«
