KJV

1  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ returned⁷⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ his house¹⁰⁰⁴ in peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

2  And Jehu³⁰⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Hanani²⁶⁰⁷ the seer²³⁷⁴ went out³³¹⁸ to meet^{413 6440} him, and said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ king⁴⁴²⁸ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² Shouldest thou help⁵⁸²⁶ the ungodly,⁷⁵⁶³ and love¹⁵⁷ them that hate⁸¹³⁰ the LORD?³⁰⁶⁸ therefore²⁰⁶³ is wrath⁷¹¹⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ thee from before^{4480 6440} the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

3  Nevertheless⁶¹ there are good²⁸⁹⁶ things¹⁶⁹⁷ found⁴⁶⁷² in⁵⁹⁷³ thee, in that³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast taken away¹¹⁹⁷ the groves⁸⁴² out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the land,⁷⁷⁶ and hast prepared³⁵⁵⁹ thine heart³⁸²⁴ to seek¹⁸⁷⁵ God.⁴³⁰

4  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² dwelt³⁴²⁷ at Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ and he went out³³¹⁸ again⁷⁷²⁵ through the people⁵⁹⁷¹ from Beer-sheba^{4480 884} to⁵⁷⁰⁴ mount²⁰²² Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ and brought them back⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹

5  And he set⁵⁹⁷⁵ judges⁸¹⁹⁹ in the land⁷⁷⁶ throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ the fenced¹²¹⁹ cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² by city,⁵⁸⁹²

6  And said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ the judges,⁸¹⁹⁹ Take heed⁷²⁰⁰ what⁴¹⁰⁰ ye⁸⁵⁹ do:⁶²¹³ for³⁵⁸⁸ ye judge⁸¹⁹⁹ not³⁸⁰⁸ for man,¹²⁰ but³⁵⁸⁸ for the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ who is with⁵⁹⁷³ you in the judgment.^{1697 4941}

7  Wherefore now⁶²⁵⁸ let the fear⁶³⁴³ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ be¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ you; take heed⁸¹⁰⁴ and do⁶²¹³ it: for³⁵⁸⁸ there is no³⁶⁹ iniquity⁵⁷⁶⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God,⁴³⁰ nor respect⁴⁸⁵⁶ of persons,⁶⁴⁴⁰ nor taking⁴⁷²⁷ of gifts.⁷⁸¹⁰

8  Moreover¹⁵⁷¹ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ did Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² set⁵⁹⁷⁵ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and of the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and of the chief^{4480 7218} of the fathers¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ for the judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and for controversies,⁷³⁷⁹ when they returned⁷⁷²⁵ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

9  And he charged^{6680 5921} them, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ shall ye do⁶²¹³ in the fear³³⁷⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ faithfully,⁵³⁰ and with a perfect⁸⁰⁰³ heart.³⁸²⁴

10  And what cause soever^{3605 7379 834} shall come⁹³⁵ to⁵⁹²¹ you of your brethren^{4480 251} that dwell³⁴²⁷ in their cities,⁵⁸⁹² between⁹⁹⁶ blood¹⁸¹⁸ and blood,¹⁸¹⁸ between⁹⁹⁶ law⁸⁴⁵¹ and commandment,⁴⁶⁸⁷ statutes²⁷⁰⁶ and judgments,⁴⁹⁴¹ ye shall even warn²⁰⁹⁴ them that they trespass⁸¹⁶ not³⁸⁰⁸ against the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and so wrath⁷¹¹⁰ come¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ you, and upon⁵⁹²¹ your brethren:²⁵¹ this³⁵⁴¹ do,⁶²¹³ and ye shall not³⁸⁰⁸ trespass.⁸¹⁶

11  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ Amariah⁵⁶⁸ the chief⁷²¹⁸ priest³⁵⁴⁸ is over⁵⁹²¹ you in all³⁶⁰⁵ matters¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and Zebadiah²⁰⁶⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Ishmael,³⁴⁵⁸ the ruler⁵⁰⁵⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ for all³⁶⁰⁵ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ matters:¹⁶⁹⁷ also the Levites³⁸⁸¹ shall be officers⁷⁸⁶⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you. Deal⁶²¹³ courageously,²³⁸⁸ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ the good.²⁸⁹⁶

1 καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Ιωσαφατ βασιλεὺς Ιουδα εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἐν εἰρήνῃ εἰς Ιερουσαλημ

2 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῦ Ιου ὁ τοῦ Ανανι ὁ προφήτης καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ βασιλεῦ Ιωσαφατ εἰ ἁμαρτωλῷ σὺ βοηθεῖς ἢ μισουμένῳ ὑπὸ κυρίου φιλιάζεις διὰ τοῦτο ἐγένετο ἐπὶ σὲ ὀργὴ παρὰ κυρίου

3 ἀλλ᾽ ἢ λόγοι ἀγαθοὶ ηὑρέθησαν ἐν σοί ὅτι ἐξῆρας τὰ ἄλση ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς Ιουδα καὶ κατηύθυνας τὴν καρδίαν σου ἐκζητῆσαι τὸν κύριον

4 καὶ κατῴκησεν Ιωσαφατ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ πάλιν ἐξῆλθεν εἰς τὸν λαὸν ἀπὸ Βηρσαβεε ἕως ὄρους Εφραιμ καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ κύριον θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν

5 καὶ κατέστησεν κριτὰς ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν Ιουδα ταῖς ὀχυραῖς ἐν πόλει καὶ πόλει

6 καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς κριταῖς ἴδετε τί ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε ὅτι οὐκ ἀνθρώπῳ ὑμεῖς κρίνετε ἀλλ᾽ ἢ τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν λόγοι τῆς κρίσεως

7 καὶ νῦν γενέσθω φόβος κυρίου ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς καὶ φυλάσσετε καὶ ποιήσετε ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν μετὰ κυρίου θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἀδικία οὐδὲ θαυμάσαι πρόσωπον οὐδὲ λαβεῖν δῶρα

8 καὶ γὰρ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ κατέστησεν Ιωσαφατ τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευιτῶν καὶ τῶν πατριαρχῶν Ισραηλ εἰς κρίσιν κυρίου καὶ κρίνειν τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Ιερουσαλημ

9 καὶ ἐνετείλατο πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγων οὕτως ποιήσετε ἐν φόβῳ κυρίου ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ ἐν πλήρει καρδίᾳ

10 πᾶς ἀνὴρ κρίσιν τὴν ἐλθοῦσαν ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν τῶν κατοικούντων ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῶν ἀνὰ μέσον αἵματος αἷμα καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον προστάγματος καὶ ἐντολῆς καὶ δικαιώματα καὶ κρίματα καὶ διαστελεῖσθε αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐχ ἁμαρτήσονται τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς ὀργὴ καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ὑμῶν οὕτως ποιήσετε καὶ οὐχ ἁμαρτήσεσθε

11 καὶ ἰδοὺ Αμαριας ὁ ἱερεὺς ἡγούμενος ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς εἰς πᾶν λόγον κυρίου καὶ Ζαβδιας υἱὸς Ισμαηλ ὁ ἡγούμενος εἰς οἶκον Ιουδα πρὸς πᾶν λόγον βασιλέως καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται πρὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν ἰσχύσατε καὶ ποιήσατε καὶ ἔσται κύριος μετὰ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ

1 Reversus est autem Josaphat rex Juda in domum suam pacifice in Jerusalem.

2 Cui occurrit Jehu filius Henani videns, et ait ad eum: Impio præbes auxilium, et his qui oderunt Dominum amicitia jungeris, et idcirco iram quidem Domini merebaris:

3 sed bona opera inventa sunt in te, eo quod abstuleris lucos de terra Juda, et præparaveris cor tuum ut requireres Dominum Deum patrum tuorum.

4 Habitavit ergo Josaphat in Jerusalem, rursumque egressus est ad populum de Bersabee usque ad montem Ephraim, et revocavit eos ad Dominum Deum patrum suorum.

5 Constituitque judices terræ in cunctis civitatibus Juda munitis per singula loca,

6 et præcipiens judicibus: Videte, ait, quid faciatis: non enim hominis exercetis judicium, sed Domini: et quodcumque judicaveritis, in vos redundabit.

7 Sit timor Domini vobiscum, et cum diligentia cuncta facite: non est enim apud Dominum Deum nostrum iniquitas, nec personarum acceptio, nec cupido munerum.

8 In Jerusalem quoque constituit Josaphat Levitas, et sacerdotes, et principes familiarum ex Israël, ut judicium et causam Domini judicarent habitatoribus ejus.

9 Præcepitque eis, dicens: Sic agetis in timore Domini fideliter et corde perfecto.

10 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 cæremoniis, de justificationibus: ostendite eis, ut non peccent in Dominum, et ne veniat ira super vos et super fratres vestros: sic ergo agentes non peccabitis.

11 Amarias autem sacerdos et pontifex vester in his quæ ad Deum pertinent, præsidebit: porro Zabadias filius Ismahel, qui est dux in domo Juda, super ea opera erit quæ ad regis officium pertinent: habetisque magistros Levitas coram vobis. Confortamini, et agite diligenter, et erit Dominus vobiscum in bonis.
