2 Crónicas 19
Riveduta 1927
1Giosafat, re di Giuda, tornò sano e salvo a casa sua a Gerusalemme.
2E il veggente Jehu, figliuolo di Hanani, andò incontro a Giosafat, e gli disse: “Dovevi tu dare aiuto ad un empio e amar quelli che odiano l’Eterno? Per questo fatto hai attirato su di te l’ira dell’Eterno.
3Nondimeno si son trovate in te delle buone cose, giacché hai fatti sparire dal paese gl’idoli d’Astarte, e hai applicato il cuor tuo alla ricerca di Dio”.
4Giosafat rimase a Gerusalemme; poi fece di nuovo un giro fra il popolo, da Beer-Sceba alla contrada montuosa d’Efraim, e lo ricondusse all’Eterno, all’Iddio de’ suoi padri.
5E stabilì dei giudici nel paese, in tutte le città fortificate di Giuda, città per città, e disse ai giudici:
6“Badate bene a quello che fate; poiché voi amministrate la giustizia, non per servire ad un uomo ma per servire all’Eterno; il quale sarà con voi negli affari della giustizia.
7Or dunque il timor dell’Eterno sia in voi; agite con circospezione, poiché presso l’Eterno, ch’è l’Iddio nostro, non v’è né perversità, né riguardo a qualità di persone, né accettazione di doni”.
8Giosafat, tornato che fu a Gerusalemme, stabilì anche quivi dei Leviti, dei sacerdoti e dei capi delle case patriarcali d’Israele per render giustizia nel nome dell’Eterno, e per sentenziare nelle liti.
9E diede loro i suoi ordini, dicendo: “Voi farete così, con timore dell’Eterno, con fedeltà e con cuore integro:
10In qualunque lite che vi sia portata dinanzi dai vostri fratelli dimoranti nelle loro città, sia che si tratti d’un omicidio o d’una legge o d’un comandamento o d’uno statuto o d’un precetto, illuminateli, affinché non si rendano colpevoli verso l’Eterno, e l’ira sua non piombi su voi e sui vostri fratelli. Così facendo, voi non vi renderete colpevoli.
11Ed ecco, il sommo sacerdote Amaria vi sarà preposto per tutti gli affari che concernono l’Eterno; e Zebadia, figliuolo d’Ismaele, capo della casa di Giuda, per tutti gli affari che concernono il re; e avete a vostra disposizione dei Leviti, come magistrati. Fatevi cuore, mettetevi all’opra, e l’Eterno sia con l’uomo dabbene!”

1Y JOSAPHAT rey de Judá se volvió en paz á su casa en Jerusalem.
2Y salióle al encuentro Jehú el vidente, hijo de Hanani, y dijo al rey Josaphat: ¿Al impío das ayuda, y amas á los que aborrecen á Jehová? Pues la ira de la presencia de Jehová será sobre ti por ello.
3Empero se han hallado en ti buenas cosas, porque cortaste de la tierra los bosques, y has apercibido tu corazón á buscar á Dios.
4Habitó pues Josaphat en Jerusalem; mas daba vuelta y salía al pueblo, desde Beer-seba hasta el monte de Ephraim, y reducíalos á Jehová el Dios de sus padres.
5Y puso en la tierra jueces en todas las ciudades fuertes de Judá, por todos los lugares.
6Y dijo á los jueces: Mirad lo que hacéis: porque no juzgáis en lugar de hombre, sino en lugar de Jehová, el cual está con vosotros en el negocio del juicio.
7Sea pues con vosotros el temor de Jehová; guardad y haced: porque en Jehová nuestro Dios no hay iniquidad, ni acepción de personas, ni recibir cohecho.
8Y puso también Josaphat en Jerusalem algunos de los Levitas y sacerdotes, y de los padres de familias de Israel, para el juicio de Jehová y para las causas. Y volviéronse á Jerusalem.
9Y mandóles, diciendo: Procederéis asimismo con temor de Jehová, con verdad, y con corazón íntegro.
10En cualquier causa que viniere á vosotros de vuestros hermanos que habitan en las ciudades, entre sangre y sangre, entre ley y precepto, estatutos y derechos, habéis de amonestarles que no pequen contra Jehová, porque no venga ira sobre vosotros y sobre vuestros hermanos. Obrando así no pecaréis.
11Y he aquí Amarías sacerdote será el que os presida en todo negocio de Jehová; y Zebadías hijo de Ismael, príncipe de la casa de Judá, en todos los negocios del rey; también los Levitas serán oficiales en presencia de vosotros. Esforzaos pues, y obrad; que Jehová será con el bueno.
King James Version
1And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
2And 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 the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.
3Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek God.
4And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the people from Beer-sheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto the LORD God of their fathers.
5And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city,
6And 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.
7Wherefore 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 gifts.
8Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the LORD, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem.
9And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
10And what cause soever 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.
11And, 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.
World English Bible
1Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
2Jehu 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 the LORD? Because of this, wrath is on you from before the LORD.
3Nevertheless 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.”
4Jehoshaphat lived at Jerusalem; and he went out again among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim, and brought them back to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
5He set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,
6and said to the judges, “Consider what you do, for you don’t judge for man, but for the LORD; and he is with you in the judgment.
7Now therefore let the fear of the LORD be on you. Take heed and do it; for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.”
8Moreover in Jerusalem Jehoshaphat appointed certain Levites, priests, and heads of the fathers’ households of Israel to give judgment for the LORD and for controversies. They returned to Jerusalem.
9He commanded them, saying, “You shall do this in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
10Whenever 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 the LORD, and so wrath come on you and on your brothers. Do this, and you will not be guilty.
11Behold, 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 may the LORD be with the good.”
