歷代志下 19
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1猶大 王 約沙法 平平安安地回 耶路撒冷 ，到宮裏去了。
1When Jehoshaphat king of Judah had returned safely to his home in Jerusalem,
2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。
2Jehu son of Hanani the seer went out to confront him and said to King Jehoshaphat, “Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD? Because of this, the wrath of the LORD is upon you.
3然而你還有善行，因你從國中除掉木偶，立定心意尋求上帝。」
3However, some good is found in you, for you have removed the Asherah poles from the land and have set your heart on seeking God.”
4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；
4Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem, and once again he went out among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim and turned them back to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
5又在 猶大 國中遍地的堅固城裏設立審判官，
5He appointed judges in the land, in each of the fortified cities of Judah.
6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。
6Then he said to the judges, “Consider carefully what you do, for you are not judging for man, but for the LORD, who is with you when you render judgment.
7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。」
7And now, may the fear of the LORD be upon you. Be careful what you do, for with the LORD our God there is no injustice or partiality or bribery.”
8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。
8Moreover, Jehoshaphat appointed in Jerusalem some of the Levites, priests, and heads of the Israelite families to judge on behalf of the LORD and to settle disputes. And they lived in Jerusalem.
9約沙法 囑咐他們說：「你們當敬畏耶和華，忠心誠實辦事。
9He commanded them, saying, “You must serve faithfully and wholeheartedly in the fear of the LORD.
10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。
10For every dispute that comes before you from your brothers who dwell in their cities—whether it regards bloodshed or some other violation of law, commandments, statutes, or ordinances—you are to warn them, so that they will not incur guilt before the LORD and wrath will not come upon you and your brothers. Do this, and you will not incur guilt.
11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。」
11Note that Amariah, the chief priest, will be over you in all that pertains to the LORD, and Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all that pertains to the king. And the Levites will serve as officers before you. Act resolutely; may the LORD be with the upright!”
