2 Chronicles 19
1 And Jehoshaphat the 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 wicked, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.
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, in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared 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 at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the people from Beersheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back to the LORD 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 all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,
Constituitque iudices terræ in cunctis civitatibus Iuda munitis per singula loca,
6 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.
et præcipiens iudicibus, Videte, ait, quid faciatis: non enim hominis exercetis iudicium, sed Domini: et quodcumque iudicaveritis, in vos redundabit.
7 Therefore 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 bribes.
Sit timor Domini vobiscum, et cum diligentia cuncta facite: non est enim apud Dominum Deum nostrum iniquitas, nec personarum acceptio, nec cupido munerum.
8 Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the heads of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the LORD, and for controversies, when 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 the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
Præcepitque eis, dicens: Sic agetis in timore Domini fideliter et corde perfecto.
10 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.
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 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 shall 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.
