历代志下 19
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶戶責備約沙法
19 猶大王約沙法平平安安回到耶路撒冷自己的王宮裡去。 2 先見哈拿尼的兒子耶戶出來迎見約沙法王，對他說：“你怎能幫助惡人，喜愛那恨惡耶和華的人呢？因此耶和華的忿怒必臨到你身上。 3 可是你還有善行，因為你從國中除掉亞舍拉，並且決心尋求 神。”
約沙法設立審判官
4 約沙法住在耶路撒冷，後來又出巡民間，從別是巴到以法蓮山地，領人民歸向耶和華他們列祖的 神。 5 他又在猶大境內的一切設防城中，都設立審判官； 6 他對他們說：“你們行事，必須謹慎；因為你們審判，不是為人，而是為耶和華；你們審判的時候，耶和華必和你們同在。 7 現在你們要敬畏耶和華；你們要謹慎行事，因為耶和華我們的 神沒有不義，不偏待人，也不受賄賂。”
8 約沙法又在耶路撒冷，從利未人、祭司和以色列各家族的首領中設立了一些人，替耶和華施行審判，為耶路撒冷的居民處理訴訟。 9 約沙法吩咐他們說：“你們要以敬畏耶和華的心，忠心和盡心辦事。 10 你們住在各城裡的同胞帶到你們面前的一切訴訟，無論是流血的事件，或是有關律法、誡命、律例和典章的訴訟，你們總要警告他們，免得他們得罪耶和華，以致耶和華的烈怒臨到你們和你們的同胞身上；你們必須這樣行，就沒有罪了。 11 所有屬於耶和華的事，有大祭司亞瑪利雅管理你們；所有屬於王的事，有猶大家的領袖以實瑪利的兒子西巴第雅管理你們；在你們面前也有利未人作官長。你們要勇敢行事；願耶和華和良善的人同在。”

2 Chronicles 19
Good News Translation
A Prophet Reprimands Jehoshaphat
19 King Jehoshaphat of Judah returned safely to his palace in Jerusalem. 2 A prophet, Jehu son of Hanani, went to meet the king and said to him, “Do you think it is right to help those who are wicked and to take the side of those who hate the Lord? What you have done has brought the Lord's anger on you. 3 But even so, there is some good in you. You have removed all the symbols of the goddess Asherah which people worshiped, and you have tried to follow God's will.”
Jehoshaphat's Reforms
4 Even though King Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem, he traveled regularly among the people, from Beersheba in the south to the edge of the hill country of Ephraim in the north, in order to call the people back to the Lord, the God of their ancestors. 5 He appointed judges in each of the fortified cities of Judah 6 and instructed them: “Be careful in pronouncing judgment; you are not acting on human authority, but on the authority of the Lord, and he is with you when you pass sentence. 7 Honor the Lord and act carefully, because the Lord our God does not tolerate fraud or partiality or the taking of bribes.”
8 In Jerusalem Jehoshaphat appointed Levites, priests, and some of the leading citizens as judges in cases involving a violation of the Law of the Lord or legal disputes between inhabitants of the city.[a] 9 He gave them the following instructions: “You must perform your duties in reverence for the Lord, faithfully obeying him in everything you do. 10 Whenever your fellow citizens from any of the cities bring before you a case of homicide or any other violation of a law or commandment, you must instruct them carefully how to conduct themselves during the trial, so that they do not become guilty of sinning against the Lord. Unless you do, you and your fellow citizens will feel the force of the Lord's anger. But if you do your duty, you will not be guilty. 11 Amariah the High Priest will have final authority in all religious cases, and Zebadiah son of Ishmael, governor of Judah, will have final authority in all civil cases. The Levites have the responsibility of seeing that the decisions of the courts are carried out. Be courageous and carry out these instructions, and may the Lord be on the side of the right!”
