Parallel

2 Chronicles 19

Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible

Καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ.
When Jehoshaphat king of Judah had returned safely to his home in Jerusalem,
καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῦ Ἰοὺ ὁ τοῦ Ἁνανεὶ ὁ προφήτης καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Βασιλεὺς Ἰωσαφάτ, εἰ ἁμαρτωλῷ σὺ βοηθεῖς ἢ μισουμένῳ ὑπὸ Κυρίου φιλιάζεις; διὰ τοῦτο ἐγένετο ἐπὶ σέ ὀργὴ παρὰ Κυρίου·
Jehu 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.
ἀλλ᾿ ἢ λόγοι ἀγαθοὶ ηὑρέθησαν ἐν σοί, ὅτι ἐξῆρας τὰ ἄλση ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς Ἰούδα, καὶ κατηύθυνας τὴν καρδίαν σου ἐκζητῆσαι τὸν κύριον.
However, some good is found in you, for you have removed the Asherah poles from the land and have set your heart on seeking God.”
καὶ κατῴκησεν Ἰωσαφάτ, πάλιν ἐξῆλθεν εἰς τὸν λαὸν ἀπὸ Βεηρσάβεε ἕως ὄρους Ἐφράιμ. καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ Κύριον θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν.
Jehoshaphat 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.
καὶ κατέστησεν κριτὰς πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν Ἰούδα ταῖς ἀχυροῖς ἐν πόλει καὶ πόλει.
He appointed judges in the land, in each of the fortified cities of Judah.
καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς κριταῖς Ἴδετε τί ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε, ὅτι οὐκ ἀνθρώπῳ ὑμεῖς κρίνετε ἀλλ᾿ ἢ τῷ κυρίῳ. καὶ μεθʼ ὑμῶν λόγοι τῆς κρίσεως.
Then 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.
καὶ νῦν γενέσθω φόβος Κυρίου ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς· φυλάσσετε καὶ ποιήσετε, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν μετὰ Κυρίου θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἀδικία οὐδὲ θαυμάσαι πρόσωπον οὐδὲ λαβεῖν δῶρα.
And 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.”
καὶ γὰρ ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ κατέστησεν Ἰωσαφὰτ τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευειτῶν καὶ τῶν πατριαρχῶν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς κρίσιν Κυρίου καὶ κρίνειν τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ.
Moreover, 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.
καὶ ἐνετείλατο πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγων Οὕτως ποιήσετε ἐν φόβῳ Κυρίου, ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ ἐν πλήρει καρδία·
He commanded them, saying, “You must serve faithfully and wholeheartedly in the fear of the LORD.
πᾶς ἀνὴρ κρίσιν τὴν ἐλθοῦσαν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν τῶν κατοικούντων ἀνὰ μέσον αἵματος, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον προστάγματος καὶ ἐντολῆς, καὶ δικαιώματα καὶ κρίματα· καὶ διαστελεῖσθε αὐτοῖς, καὶ οὐχ ἁμαρτήσονται τῷ κυρίῳ, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ὀργὴ καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ὑμῶν· οὕτως ποιήσετε, καὶ οὐχ ἁμαρτήσεσθε.
For 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.
καὶ ἰδοὺ Ἀμαρίας ὁ ἱερεὺς ἡγούμενος ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς εἰς πᾶν λόγον Κυρίου, καὶ Σαβδείας ὁ ἡγούμενος εἰς οἶκον Ἰούδα πρὸς πᾶν λόγον βασιλέως, καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευεῖται πρὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν· ἰσχύσατε καὶ ποιήσατε, καὶ ἔσται Κύριος μετὰ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ.
Note 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!”
