19 ¶ Jozafa li menm, wa peyi Jida a, tounen lakay li lavil Jerizalèm san anyen pa rive l'.

Yon pwofèt yo te rele Jeou, pitit gason Anani an, vin kontre wa a, li di l' konsa: -Ki jan ou fè al ede moun k'ap fè mal? Ki jan ou rive fè zanmi ak moun ki pa vle wè Seyè a? Se poutèt sa, Seyè a fache sou ou anpil.

Men malgre sa, ou fè kèk bagay ki bon. Ou te kraze tout pòtre Achera, bondye fanm, ki te nan peyi a. Lèfini ou te chache fè volonte Bondye.

Jozafa te rete lavil Jerizalèm. Men, li pran vizite pèp la nan tout peyi a ankò, depi lavil Bècheba nan sid, rive jouk nan mòn Efrayim yo nan nò, pou l' te fè pèp la tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a.

¶ Li mete jij nan chak lavil ak ranpa peyi Jida a, yonn apre lòt.

Li di jij yo: -Kalkile byen travay nou pral fè a, paske nou pa pral jije nan non yon moun, men nan non Seyè a. L'ap kanpe la bò kote nou lè n'ap rann jijman.

Se pou nou gen krentif pou Seyè a. Veye zo nou nan tou sa n'ap fè, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pa tolere lenjistis ak patipri. Li pa nan pran kado nan men moun pou fè pa yo.

Nan lavil Jerizalèm menm, Jozafa chwazi kèk moun Levi, prèt ak chèf fanmi, li mete pou jije tout ka ki an rapò ak lalwa Bondye a, tout pwose moun lavil Jerizalèm yo ka gen yonn ak lòt.

Li ba yo lòd, li di yo: -Se pou nou fè travay nou ak krentif pou Bondye. Se pou nou swiv lòd li nan tou sa n'ap fè.

10 Chak fwa frè nou yo ki rete nan lòt lavil yo vin pote yon ka devan nou, kit se pou yon moun yo touye, kit se pou yon lwa, yon lòd, yon regleman osinon yon prensip yo dezobeyi, se pou nou pale ak yo pou yo pa fè anyen ki mal devan Seyè a. Si nou pa fè sa, Seyè a ap move ni sou nou ni sou moun nou yo. Si nou fè sa nou dwe fè, nou p'ap koupab nou menm.

11 Amarya, granprèt la, va pi gwo jij pou tout ka ki an rapò ak lalwa Bondye a. Zebadya, pitit Izmayèl la, chèf branch fanmi Jida a, va pi gwo jij pou tou sa ki an rapò ak lalwa peyi a. Se va reskonsablite moun Levi yo pou yo fè respekte tout desizyon n'a pran. Mete gason sou nou. Fe travay nou. Se pou Seyè a toujou kanpe la ak moun ki mache dwat yo.

19 When Jehoshaphat king of Judah returned safely to his palace in Jerusalem, Jehu(A) the seer, the son of Hanani, went out to meet him and said to the king, “Should you help the wicked(B) and love[a] those who hate the Lord?(C) Because of this, the wrath(D) of the Lord is on you. There is, however, some good(E) in you, for you have rid the land of the Asherah poles(F) and have set your heart on seeking God.(G)

Jehoshaphat Appoints Judges

Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem, and he went out again among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim and turned them back to the Lord, the God of their ancestors. He appointed judges(H) in the land, in each of the fortified cities of Judah. He told them, “Consider carefully what you do,(I) because you are not judging for mere mortals(J) but for the Lord, who is with you whenever you give a verdict. Now let the fear of the Lord be on you. Judge carefully, for with the Lord our God there is no injustice(K) or partiality(L) or bribery.”

In Jerusalem also, Jehoshaphat appointed some of the Levites,(M) priests(N) and heads of Israelite families to administer(O) the law of the Lord and to settle disputes. And they lived in Jerusalem. He gave them these orders: “You must serve faithfully and wholeheartedly in the fear of the Lord. 10 In every case that comes before you from your people who live in the cities—whether bloodshed or other concerns of the law, commands, decrees or regulations—you are to warn them not to sin against the Lord;(P) otherwise his wrath will come on you and your people. Do this, and you will not sin.

11 “Amariah the chief priest will be over you in any matter concerning the Lord, and Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the leader of the tribe of Judah, will be over you in any matter concerning the king, and the Levites will serve as officials before you. Act with courage,(Q) and may the Lord be with those who do well.”
