歷代志下 19

猶大王約沙法平平安安地回耶路撒冷，到宮裏去了。

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.

先見哈拿尼的兒子耶戶出來迎接約沙法王，對他說：「你豈當幫助惡人，愛那恨惡耶和華的人呢？因此耶和華的忿怒臨到你。

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.

然而你還有善行，因你從國中除掉木偶，立定心意尋求上帝。」

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.”

約沙法住在耶路撒冷，以後又出巡民間，從別是巴直到以法蓮山地，引導民歸向耶和華－他們列祖的上帝；

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.

又在猶大國中遍地的堅固城裏設立審判官，

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,

對他們說：「你們辦事應當謹慎；因為你們判斷不是為人，乃是為耶和華。判斷的時候，他必與你們同在。

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.

現在你們應當敬畏耶和華，謹慎辦事；因為耶和華－我們的上帝沒有不義，不偏待人，也不受賄賂。」

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.”

約沙法從利未人和祭司，並以色列族長中派定人，在耶路撒冷為耶和華判斷，聽民間的爭訟，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.

約沙法囑咐他們說：「你們當敬畏耶和華，忠心誠實辦事。

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.

住在各城裏你們的弟兄，若有爭訟的事來到你們這裏，或為流血，或犯律法、誡命、律例、典章，你們要警戒他們，免得他們得罪耶和華，以致他的忿怒臨到你們和你們的弟兄；這樣行，你們就沒有罪了。

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.

凡屬耶和華的事，有大祭司亞瑪利雅管理你們；凡屬王的事，有猶大支派的族長以實瑪利的兒子西巴第雅管理你們；在你們面前有利未人作官長。你們應當壯膽辦事，願耶和華與善人同在。」

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.”
