LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 και απεστρεψεν ιωσαφατ βασιλευς ιουδα εις τον οικον αυτου εν ειρηνη εις ιερουσαλημ	1 And Josaphat king of Juda returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
2 και εξηλθεν εις απαντησιν αυτου ιου ο του ανανι ο προφητης και ειπεν αυτω βασιλευ ιωσαφατ ει αμαρτωλω συ βοηθεις η μισουμενω υπο κυριου φιλιαζεις δια τουτο εγενετο επι σε οργη παρα κυριου	2 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:
3 αλλ' η λογοι αγαθοι ηυρεθησαν εν σοι οτι εξηρας τα αλση απο της γης ιουδα και κατηυθυνας την καρδιαν σου εκζητησαι τον κυριον	3 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.
4 και κατωκησεν ιωσαφατ εν ιερουσαλημ και παλιν εξηλθεν εις τον λαον απο βηρσαβεε εως ορους εφραιμ και επεστρεψεν αυτους επι κυριον θεον των πατερων αυτων	4 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.
5 και κατεστησεν κριτας εν πασαις ταις πολεσιν ιουδα ταις οχυραις εν πολει και πολει	5 And he set judges of the land in all the fenced cities of Juda, in every place.
6 και ειπεν τοις κριταις ιδετε τι υμεις ποιειτε οτι ουκ ανθρωπω υμεις κρινετε αλλ' η τω κυριω και μεθ' υμων λογοι της κρισεως	6 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.
7 και νυν γενεσθω φοβος κυριου εφ' υμας και φυλασσετε και ποιησετε οτι ουκ εστιν μετα κυριου θεου ημων αδικια ουδε θαυμασαι προσωπον ουδε λαβειν δωρα	7 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, a nor respect of persons, nor desire of gifts.
8 και γαρ εν ιερουσαλημ κατεστησεν ιωσαφατ των ιερεων και των λευιτων και των πατριαρχων ισραηλ εις κρισιν κυριου και κρινειν τους κατοικουντας εν ιερουσαλημ	8 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.
9 και ενετειλατο προς αυτους λεγων ουτως ποιησετε εν φοβω κυριου εν αληθεια και εν πληρει καρδια	9 And he charged them, saying: Thus shall you do in the fear of the Lord faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
10 πας ανηρ κρισιν την ελθουσαν εφ' υμας των αδελφων υμων των κατοικουντων εν ταις πολεσιν αυτων ανα μεσον αιματος αιμα και ανα μεσον προσταγματος και εντολης και δικαιωματα και κριματα και διαστελεισθε αυτοις και ουχ αμαρτησονται τω κυριω και ουκ εσται εφ' υμας οργη και επι τους αδελφους υμων ουτως ποιησετε και ουχ αμαρτησεσθε	10 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.
11 και ιδου αμαριας ο ιερευς ηγουμενος εφ' υμας εις παν λογον κυριου και ζαβδιας υιος ισμαηλ ο ηγουμενος εις οικον ιουδα προς παν λογον βασιλεως και οι γραμματεις και οι λευιται προ προσωπου υμων ισχυσατε και ποιησατε και εσται κυριος μετα του αγαθου	11 And Amarias the priest your high priest shell 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.
