Liber II Paralipomenon

Reversus est autem Josaphat rex Juda in domum suam pacifice in Jerusalem.

And Josaphat king of Juda returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.

Reverte es autem Iosaphate rege Iuda in domo suo pacifice in Ierusalem.

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:

And 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:

Ad que occurre Ieho filio de Henano vidente, et dic ad illo: impio praebe auxilio, et ad hoc qui ode Domino amicitia iunge, et ergo ira quidem de Domino meriba:

sed bona opera inventa sunt in te, eo quod abstuleris lucos de terra Juda, et præparaveris cor tuum ut requireres Dominum Deum patrum tuorum.

But 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.

Sed bono operes inveni es in te, eo quod ad-fer lucos de terra Iuda, et praepara corde tuo ut require Domino Deo de patres tuo.

Habitavit ergo Josaphat in Jerusalem, rursumque egressus est ad populum de Bersabee usque ad montem Ephraim, et revocavit eos ad Dominum Deum patrum suorum.

And 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.

Iosaphate ergo vabita in Ierusalem, et iterum egredior es ad populo de Bersabe usque ad monte Ephraeme, et revoca illos ad Domino Deo de patres suo.

Constituitque judices terræ in cunctis civitatibus Juda munitis per singula loca,

And he set judges of the land in all the fenced cities of Juda, in every place.

Et constitue iudices de terra in cuncta civitates Iuda munie per singulo locos,

et præcipiens judicibus: Videte, ait, quid faciatis: non enim hominis exercetis judicium, sed Domini: et quodcumque judicaveritis, in vos redundabit.

And 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.

Et praecipie ad iudices: vide, dic, quid fac: non nam de homine exerce iudicio, sed de Domino: et omni iudica, in vos redunda.

Sit timor Domini vobiscum, et cum diligentia cuncta facite: non est enim apud Dominum Deum nostrum iniquitas, nec personarum acceptio, nec cupido munerum.

Let 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.

Timore de Domino vos es, et cum diligentia cuncta fac: non es nam apud Domino Deo nostro iniquitate, nec de personas acceptione, nec cupido de munes.

In Jerusalem quoque constituit Josaphat Levitas, et sacerdotes, et principes familiarum ex Israël, ut judicium et causam Domini judicarent habitatoribus ejus.

In 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.

In Ierusalem etiam constitue Iosaphate Levites, et sacerdotes, et principes de familias ex Israële, ut iudicio et causa de Domino iudica ad habitatores de illo.

Præcepitque eis, dicens: Sic agetis in timore Domini fideliter et corde perfecto.

And he charged them, saying, Thus shall you do in the fear of the Lord faithfully, and with a perfect heart.

Et praecipie ad illos, dicente: sic age in timore de Domino fideliter et corde perfice.

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.

Every 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.

Omni causa que veni ad vos de fratres vestro, qui habita in urbes suo inter cognatione et cognatione, ubicumque quaestione es de lege, de mandato, de caeremonios, de iustificationes: ostende ad illos, ut non pecca in Domino, et ne ira que veni super vos et super fratres vestro: sic ergo age non pecca.

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.

And 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.

Amariase autem sacerdote et pontifice vestro in hoc que ad Deo pertine, praeside: porro Zabadiase filio Ismaele, qui es duce in domo Iuda, super illa operes es que ad rege officio pertine: et habe magistros Levites coram vos. Conforta, et age diligenter, et Domino vos es in bono.
