2 Chronicles 19

犹大王约沙法平平安安地回耶路撒冷，到宫里去了。

yóu dà wáng yuē shā fǎ píng píng ān ān dì huí yē lù sā lěng ， dào gōng lǐ qù le 。

Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.

先见哈拿尼的儿子耶户出来迎接约沙法王，对他说：「你岂当帮助恶人，爱那恨恶耶和华的人呢？因此耶和华的忿怒临到你。

xiān jiàn hā ná ní de ér zǐ yē hù chū lái yíng jiē yuē shā fǎ wáng ， duì tā shuō ：「 nǐ qǐ dāng bāng zhù è rén ， ài nà hèn è yē hé huá de rén ne ？ yīn cǐ yē hé huá de fèn nù lín dào nǐ 。

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 the LORD? Because of this, wrath is on you from before the LORD.

然而你还有善行，因你从国中除掉木偶，立定心意寻求 神。」

rán ér nǐ hái yǒu shàn xíng ， yīn nǐ cóng guó zhōng chú diào mù ǒu ， lì dìng xīn yì xún qiú shén 。」

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.”

约沙法住在耶路撒冷，以后又出巡民间，从别是巴直到以法莲山地，引导民归向耶和华—他们列祖的 神；

yuē shā fǎ zhù zài yē lù sā lěng ， yǐ hòu yòu chū xún mín jiān ， cóng bié shì bā zhí dào yǐ fǎ lián shān dì ， yǐn dǎo mín guī xiàng yē hé huá — tā men liè zǔ de shén ；

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 the LORD, the God of their fathers.

又在犹大国中遍地的坚固城里设立审判官，

yòu zài yóu dà guó zhōng biàn dì de jiān gù chéng lǐ shè lì shěn pàn guān ，

He set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,

对他们说：「你们办事应当谨慎；因为你们判断不是为人，乃是为耶和华。判断的时候，他必与你们同在。

duì tā men shuō ：「 nǐ men bàn shì yīng dāng jǐn shèn ； yīn wèi nǐ men pàn duàn bú shì wèi rén ， nǎi shì wèi yē hé huá 。 pàn duàn de shí hòu ， tā bì yǔ nǐ men tóng zài 。

and 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.

现在你们应当敬畏耶和华，谨慎办事；因为耶和华—我们的 神没有不义，不偏待人，也不受贿赂。」

xiàn zài nǐ men yīng dāng jìng wèi yē hé huá ， jǐn shèn bàn shì ； yīn wèi yē hé huá — wǒ men de shén méi yǒu bú yì ， bù piān dài rén ， yě bú shòu huì lù 。」

Now 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.”

约沙法从利未人和祭司，并以色列族长中派定人，在耶路撒冷为耶和华判断，听民间的争讼，就回耶路撒冷去了。

yuē shā fǎ cóng lì wèi rén hé jì sī ， bìng yǐ sè liè zú zhǎng zhōng pài dìng rén ， zài yē lù sā lěng wèi yē hé huá pàn duàn ， tīng mín jiān de zhēng sòng ， jiù huí yē lù sā lěng qù le 。

Moreover 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.

约沙法嘱咐他们说：「你们当敬畏耶和华，忠心诚实办事。

yuē shā fǎ zhǔ fù tā men shuō ：「 nǐ men dāng jìng wèi yē hé huá ， zhōng xīn chéng shí bàn shì 。

He commanded them, saying, “You shall do this in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.

住在各城里你们的弟兄，若有争讼的事来到你们这里，或为流血，或犯律法、诫命、律例、典章，你们要警戒他们，免得他们得罪耶和华，以致他的忿怒临到你们和你们的弟兄；这样行，你们就没有罪了。

zhù zài gè chéng lǐ nǐ men de dì xiong ， ruò yǒu zhēng sòng de shì lái dào nǐ men zhè lǐ ， huò wèi liú xuè ， huò fàn lǜ fǎ 、 jiè mìng 、 lǜ lì 、 diǎn zhāng ， nǐ men yào jǐng jiè tā men ， miǎn de tā men dé zuì yē hé huá ， yǐ zhì tā de fèn nù lín dào nǐ men hé nǐ men de dì xiong ； zhè yàng xíng ， nǐ men jiù méi yǒu zuì le 。

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 the LORD, and so wrath come on you and on your brothers. Do this, and you will not be guilty.

凡属耶和华的事，有大祭司亚玛利雅管理你们；凡属王的事，有犹大支派的族长以实玛利的儿子西巴第雅管理你们；在你们面前有利未人作官长。你们应当壮胆办事，愿耶和华与善人同在。」

fán shǔ yē hé huá de shì ， yǒu dà jì sī yà mǎ lì yǎ guǎn lǐ nǐ men ； fán shǔ wáng de shì ， yǒu yóu dà zhī pài de zú zhǎng yǐ shí mǎ lì de ér zi xī bā dì yǎ guǎn lǐ nǐ men ； zài nǐ men miàn qián yǒu lì wèi rén zuò guān zhǎng 。 nǐ men yīng dāng zhuàng dǎn bàn shì ， yuàn yē hé huá yǔ shàn rén tóng zài 。」

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 may the LORD be with the good.”
