2 Chronicles 19 (WEBP)

[1] Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
[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 Yahweh? Because of this, wrath is on you from before Yahweh.
[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.”
[4] Jehoshaphat lived at Jerusalem; and he went out again among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim, and brought them back to Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
[5] He set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,
[6] and said to the judges, “Consider what you do, for you don’t judge for man, but for Yahweh; and he is with you in the judgment.
[7] Now therefore let the fear of Yahweh be on you. Take heed and do it; for there is no iniquity with Yahweh our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.”
[8] Moreover in Jerusalem Jehoshaphat appointed certain Levites, priests, and heads of the fathers’ households of Israel to give judgment for Yahweh and for controversies. They returned to Jerusalem.
[9] He commanded them, saying, “You shall do this in the fear of Yahweh, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
[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 toward Yahweh, and so wrath come on you and on your brothers. Do this, and you will not be guilty.
[11] Behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of Yahweh; 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 Yahweh be with the good.”

[1] και απεστρεψεν ιωσαφατ βασιλευς ιουδα εις τον οικον αυτου εν ειρηνη εις ιερουσαλημ
[2] και εξηλθεν εις απαντησιν αυτου ιου ο του ανανι ο προφητης και ειπεν αυτω βασιλευ ιωσαφατ ει αμαρτωλω συ βοηθεις η μισουμενω υπο κυριου φιλιαζεις δια τουτο εγενετο επι σε οργη παρα κυριου
[3] αλλ η λογοι αγαθοι ηυρεθησαν εν σοι οτι εξηρας τα αλση απο της γης ιουδα και κατηυθυνας την καρδιαν σου εκζητησαι τον κυριον
[4] και κατωκησεν ιωσαφατ εν ιερουσαλημ και παλιν εξηλθεν εις τον λαον απο βηρσαβεε εως ορους εφραιμ και επεστρεψεν αυτους επι κυριον θεον των πατερων αυτων
[5] και κατεστησεν κριτας εν πασαις ταις πολεσιν ιουδα ταις οχυραις εν πολει και πολει
[6] και ειπεν τοις κριταις ιδετε τι υμεις ποιειτε οτι ουκ ανθρωπω υμεις κρινετε αλλ η τω κυριω και μεθ υμων λογοι της κρισεως
[7] και νυν γενεσθω φοβος κυριου εφ υμας και φυλασσετε και ποιησετε οτι ουκ εστιν μετα κυριου θεου ημων αδικια ουδε θαυμασαι προσωπον ουδε λαβειν δωρα
[8] και γαρ εν ιερουσαλημ κατεστησεν ιωσαφατ των ιερεων και των λευιτων και των πατριαρχων ισραηλ εις κρισιν κυριου και κρινειν τους κατοικουντας εν ιερουσαλημ
[9] και ενετειλατο προς αυτους λεγων ουτως ποιησετε εν φοβω κυριου εν αληθεια και εν πληρει καρδια
[10] πας ανηρ κρισιν την ελθουσαν εφ υμας των αδελφων υμων των κατοικουντων εν ταις πολεσιν αυτων ανα μεσον αιματος αιμα και ανα μεσον προσταγματος και εντολης και δικαιωματα και κριματα και διαστελεισθε αυτοις και ουχ αμαρτησονται τω κυριω και ουκ εσται εφ υμας οργη και επι τους αδελφους υμων ουτως ποιησετε και ουχ αμαρτησεσθε
[11] και ιδου αμαριας ο ιερευς ηγουμενος εφ υμας εις παν λογον κυριου και ζαβδιας υιος ισμαηλ ο ηγουμενος εις οικον ιουδα προς παν λογον βασιλεως και οι γραμματεις και οι λευιται προ προσωπου υμων ισχυσατε και ποιησατε και εσται κυριος μετα του αγαθου
