And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.

2 하나니의 아들 先見者(선견자) 예후가 나가서 여호사밧 王(왕)을 맞아 가로되 王(왕)이 惡(악)한 者(자)를 돕고 여호와를 미워하는 者(자)를 사랑하는 것이 可(가)하니이까 그러므로 여호와께로서 震怒(진노)하심이 王(왕)에게 臨(임)하리이다

Jehu the seer, the son of Hanani, went out to meet him and said to the king, "Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD? Because of this, the wrath of the LORD is upon you.

And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.

3 그러나 王(왕)에게 善(선)한 일도 있으니 이는 王(왕)이 아세라 木像(목상)들을 이 땅에서 없이하고 마음을 오로지하여 하나님을 찾음이니이다 하였더라

There is, however, some good in you, for you have rid the land of the Asherah poles and have set your heart on seeking God."

Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek God.

4 ● 여호사밧이 예루살렘에 居(거)하더니 나가서 브엘세바에서부터 에브라임 山地(산지)까지 民間(민간)에 巡行(순행)하며 저희를 그 列祖(열조)의 하나님 여호와께로 돌아오게 하고

He appointed judges in the land, in each of the fortified cities of Judah.

And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city,

6 裁判官(재판관)에게 이르되 너희는 行(행)하는 바를 삼가하라 너희의 裁判(재판)하는 것이 사람을 爲(위)함이 아니요 여호와를 爲(위)함이니 너희가 裁判(재판)할 때에 여호와께서 너희와 함께 하실찌라

He told them, "Consider carefully what you do, because you are not judging for man but for the LORD, who is with you whenever you give a verdict.

And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment.

7 그런즉 너희는 여호와를 두려워하는 마음으로 삼가 行(행)하라 우리의 하나님 여호와께서는 不義(불의)함도 없으시고 偏僻(편벽)됨도 없으시고 賂物(뇌물)을 받으심도 없으시니라

Now let the fear of the LORD be upon you. Judge carefully, for with the LORD our God there is no injustice or partiality or bribery."

Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.

대하17:8,9     1) 히, 모든 송사를 재판하게 하고 예루살렘으로 돌아가니라

In Jerusalem also, Jehoshaphat appointed some of the Levites, priests and heads of Israelite families to administer the law of the LORD and to settle disputes. And they lived in Jerusalem.

Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the LORD, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem.

9 저희에게 命(명)하여 가로되 너희는 여호와를 敬畏(경외)하고 忠義(충의)와 誠心(성심)으로 이 일을 行(행)하라

He gave them these orders: "You must serve faithfully and wholeheartedly in the fear of the LORD.

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

10 무릇 어느 城邑(성읍)에 居(거)한 너희 兄弟(형제)가 或(혹) 피를 흘림이나 或(혹) 律法(율법)이나 誡命(계명)이나 律例(율례)規例(규례)를 因(인)하여 너희에게 와서 訟事(송사)하거든 저희를 警戒(경계)하여 여호와께 罪(죄)를 얻지 않게 하여 너희와 너희 兄弟(형제)에게 震怒(진노)하심이 臨(임)하지 말게 하라 너희가 이렇게 行(행)하면 罪(죄)가 없으리라

In every case that comes before you from your fellow countrymen who live in the cities--whether bloodshed or other concerns of the law, commands, decrees or ordinances--you are to warn them not to sin against the LORD; otherwise his wrath will come on you and your brothers. Do this, and you will not sin.

And what cause soever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the LORD, and so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass.

11 여호와께 屬(속)한 모든 일에는 大祭司長(대제사장) 아마랴가 너희를 다스리고 王(왕)에게 屬(속)한 모든 일은 유다 支派(지파)의 어른 이스마엘의 아들 스바댜가 다스리고 레위 사람들은 너희 앞에 官吏(관리)가 되리라 너희는 힘써 行(행)하라 여호와께서 善(선)한 者(자)와 함께 하실지로다 하니라

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, and may the LORD be with those who do well.

And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king's matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and the LORD shall be with the good.
