NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Reversus est autem Iosaphat rex Iudae in domum suam pacifice in Ierusalem.	1 King Jehoshaphat of Judah returned in safety to his house in Jerusalem.
2 Cui occurrit Iehu filius Hanani videns et ait ad eum: “ Impio praebes auxilium et his, qui oderunt Dominum, amicitia iungeris, et idcirco iram quidem Domini merebaris;	2 Jehu the seer, son of Hanani, met King Jehoshaphat and said to him: "Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD? For this reason, wrath is upon you from the LORD.
3 sed bona opera inventa sunt in te, eo quod abstuleris palos de terra et praeparaveris cor tuum, ut requireres Deum ”.	3 Yet some good things are to be found in you, since you have removed the sacred poles from the land and have been determined to seek God."
4 Habitavit ergo Iosaphat in Ierusalem. Rursumque egressus est ad populum de Bersabee usque ad montem Ephraim et revocavit eos ad Dominum, Deum patrum suorum.	4 Jehoshaphat dwelt in Jerusalem; but he went out again among the people from Beer-sheba to the highlands of Ephraim and brought them back to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
5 Constituitque iudices terrae in cunctis civitatibus Iudae munitis per singula loca.	5 He appointed judges in the land, in all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,
6 Et praecipiens iudicibus: “ Videte, ait, quid faciatis. Non enim homini exercetis iudicium sed Domino, qui vobiscum est, quando iudicaveritis.	6 and he said to them: "Take care what you do, for you are judging, not on behalf of man, but on behalf of the LORD; he judges with you.
7 Sit timor Domini, vobiscum et caute cuncta facite; non est enim apud Dominum Deum nostrum iniquitas nec personarum acceptio nec cupido munerum ”.	7 And now, let the fear of the LORD be upon you. Act carefully, for with the LORD, our God there is no injustice, no partiality, no bribe-taking."
8 In Ierusalem quoque constituit Iosaphat ex Levitis et sacerdotibus et principibus familiarum Israel pro iudicio Domini et pro causis habitatorum Ierusalem.	8 In Jerusalem also, Jehoshaphat appointed some Levites and priests and some of the family heads of Israel to judge in the name of the LORD and to settle quarrels among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
9 Praecepitque eis dicens: “ Sic agetis in timore Domini fideliter et corde perfecto.	9 He gave them this command: "You shall act faithfully and wholeheartedly in the fear of the LORD.
10 Omnem causam, quae venerit ad vos fratrum vestrorum, qui habitant in urbibus suis, ubicumque quaestio est de homicidio, de lege, de mandato, de praeceptis et de iustificationibus, commonete eos, ut non peccent in Dominum, et ne veniat ira super vos et super fratres vestros; sic ergo agetis et non peccabitis.	10 And in every dispute that your brethren living in their cities bring to you, whether it concerns bloodguilt or questions of law, command, statutes, or judgments, warn them lest they become guilty before the LORD and his wrath come upon you and your brethren. Do that and you shall be guiltless.
11 Amarias autem sacerdos princeps super vos in omnibus, quae ad Deum pertinent, praesidebit; porro Zabadias filius Ismael, qui est dux in domo Iudae, super ea opera erit, quae ad regis officium pertinent; habetisque Levitas coram vobis ut scribas. Confortamini et agite diligenter, et sit Dominus cum bonis ”.	11 See now, Amariah is high priest over you in everything that pertains to the LORD, and Zebadiah, son of Ishmael, is leader of the house of Judah in all that pertains to the king; and the Levites will be your officials. Act firmly, and the LORD will be with the good."
