19 — 2 Paralipomenon

1And Josaphat king of Juda returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.E Josaphat re di Giuda se ne tornò sano, e salvo a casa sua a Gerusalemme.AND Iosaphat the king of Iuda returned into his house peaceably, into Ierusalem.Reversus est autem Josaphat rex Juda in domum suam pacifice in Jerusalem. 2And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer met him, and said to him: Thou helpest the ungodly, and thou art joined in friendship with them that hate the Lord, and therefore thou didst deserve indeed the wrath of the Lord:E andogli incontro il Profeta Jehu figliuolo di Hanani, e gli disse: Tu dai aiuto a un empio, e stringi amicizia con gente, che odia il Signore, e per questo ti meritavi l'ira del Signore:Whom Iehu the sonne of Hanani the Seer mette, and sayd to him: To the impious man thou geuest ayde, and to them that hate our Lord thou art ioyned in frendship, and therfore thou didst deserue in deed the wrath of our Lord:Cui occurrit Jehu filius Henani videns, et ait ad eum: Impio præbes auxilium, et his qui oderunt Dominum amicitia jungeris, et idcirco iram quidem Domini merebaris: 3But good works are found in thee, because thou hast taken away the groves out of the land of Juda, and hast prepared thy heart to seek the Lord the God of thy fathers.Ma si sono trovate in te delle buone opere, perchè tu hai spiantati i boschetti dalla terra di Giuda, e hai rivolto il cuor tuo a cercare il Signore Dio de' padri tuoi.but good workes are found in thee, for that thou hast taken away the groues out of the land of Iuda, and hast prepared thy hart to seeke our Lord the God of thy fathers.sed bona opera inventa sunt in te, eo quod abstuleris lucos de terra Juda, et præparaveris cor tuum ut requireres Dominum Deum patrum tuorum. 4And Josaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again to the people from Bersabee to mount Ephraim, and brought them back to the Lord the God of their fathers.Abitò adunque Josaphat in Gerusalemme: e andò di nuovo a visitare il popolo da Bersabee fino alle montagne di Ephraim, e li fe' ritornare al Signore Dio de' padri loro.Iosaphat therfore dwelt in Ierusalem: and he went forth to the people agayne from Bersabee vnto mount Ephraim, and recalled them to our Lord the God of their fathers.Habitavit ergo Josaphat in Jerusalem, rursumque egressus est ad populum de Bersabee usque ad montem Ephraim, et revocavit eos ad Dominum Deum patrum suorum. 5And he set judges of the land in all the fenced cities of Juda, in every place.E pose dei giudici in tutte le città forti di Giuda, e in ogni luogo;And he appoynted iudges of the land in al the fensed cities of Iuda, in euerie place,Constituitque judices terræ in cunctis civitatibus Juda munitis per singula loca,

6And charging the judges, he said: Take heed what you do: for you exercise not the judgment of man, but of the Lord: and whatsoever you judge, it shall redound to you.E dando i suoi ordini a' giudici, diceva: Badate a quel, che fate; perocché voi fate le veci non di un uomo, ma di Dio: e i vostri giudizj, qualunque ei siano, cadranno sopra di voi.and commanding the iudges, he sayd: Take heede what you doe: for you exercise not the iudgement of man, but of our Lord: and whatsoeuer you shal iudge, it shal redound to you.et præcipiens judicibus: Videte, ait, quid faciatis: non enim hominis exercetis judicium, sed Domini: et quodcumque judicaveritis, in vos redundabit. 7Let the fear of the Lord be with you, and do all things with diligence: for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor desire of gifts.Sia con voi il timor del Signore, e fate ogni cosa con esattezza: imperocché ingiustizia non è presso al Signore Dio nostro, né accettazione di persone, né bramosia di doni.Let the feare of our Lord be with you, and with diligence doe al thinges: for there is no iniquitie with the Lord our God, nor acception of personnes, nor desyre of giftes.Sit timor Domini vobiscum, et cum diligentia cuncta facite: non est enim apud Dominum Deum nostrum iniquitas, nec personarum acceptio, nec cupido munerum. 8In Jerusalem also Josaphat appointed Levites, and priests and chiefs of the families of Israel, to judge the judgment and the cause of the Lord for the inhabitants thereof.E parimente in Gerusalemme Josaphat nominò dei Leviti, e dei sacerdoti, e dei capi delle famiglie d'Israele, affinchè a nome del Signore rendesser ragione a' suoi cittadini.In Ierusalem also Iosaphat appoynted Leuites, and Priestes, and princes of families of Israel, that they should iudge the iudgement and cause of our Lord to the inhabitantes therof.In Jerusalem quoque constituit Josaphat Levitas, et sacerdotes, et principes familiarum ex Israël, ut judicium et causam Domini judicarent habitatoribus ejus. 9And he charged them, saying, Thus shall you do in the fear of the Lord faithfully, and with a perfect heart.E intimò loro, e disse: Vi diporterete con fedeltà, e con cuore perfetto nel timor del Signore.And he commanded them, saying: Thus shal you doe in the feare of our Lord faithfully, and with a perfect hart.Præcepitque eis, dicens: Sic agetis in timore Domini fideliter et corde perfecto. 10Every cause that shall come to you of your brethren, that dwell in their cities, between kindred and kindred, wheresoever there is question concerning the law, the commandment, the ceremonies, the justifications: shew it them, that they may not sin against the Lord, and that wrath may not come upon you and your brethren: and so doing you shall not sin.In qualunque lite tra famiglia, e famiglia de' vostri fratelli dimoranti nelle loro città, la qual lite sia portata a voi, ogni volta che si tratti della legge, de' comandamenti, delle cerimonie, o de' precetti, voi gl'istruirete, affinchè non pecchino contro il Signore, e affinchè non piombi l'ira di Dio sopra di voi, e sopra i vostri fratelli: e così facendo non peccherete.Euerie cause, that shal come to you of your brethren, that dwel in their cities, betwen kinred and kinred, whersoeuer there is question of the law, of the commandement, of ceremonies, of iustifications: shew it them, that they sinne not agaynst our Lord, and lest there come wrath vpon you and your brethren: so doing therfore you shal not sinne.Omnem causam quæ venerit ad vos fratrum vestrorum, qui habitant in urbibus suis inter cognationem et cognationem, ubicumque quæstio est de lege, de mandato, de cæremoniis, de justificationibus: ostendite eis, ut non peccent in Dominum, et ne veniat ira super vos et super fratres vestros: sic ergo agentes non peccabitis.

11And Amarias the priest your high priest shall be chief in the things which regard God: and Zabadias the son of Ismahel, who is ruler in the house of Juda, shall be over those matters which belong to the king’s office: and you have before you the Levites for masters, take courage and do diligently, and the Lord will be with you in good things.E Amaria Sacerdote, e Pontefice vostro avrà giurisdizione in tutto quello che spetta al Signore: e Zabadia figliuolo d'Ismahel, principe della casa di Giuda, presiederà a tutti gli affari riguardanti l'officio del re: e avete con voi per maestri i Leviti: fatevi cuore, e siate diligenti, e il Signore sarà con voi, e faravvi del bene.And Amarias the priest and your Bishop shal be chiefe in these thinges, which pertayn to God: moreouer Zabadias the sonne of Ismahel, who is the prince in the house of Iuda, shal be ouer those workes, which pertayne to the kinges office: and you haue maisters the Leuites before you, take courage, and doe diligently, and our Lord wil be with the good.Amarias autem sacerdos et pontifex vester in his quæ ad Deum pertinent, præsidebit: porro Zabadias filius Ismahel, qui est dux in domo Juda, super ea opera erit quæ ad regis officium pertinent: habetisque magistros Levitas coram vobis. Confortamini, et agite diligenter, et erit Dominus vobiscum in bonis.
