Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.

1 Και επέστρεψεν Ιωσαφάτ ο βασιλεύς του Ιούδα εις τον οίκον αυτού εν ειρήνη, εις Ιερουσαλήμ.
1 Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
2 Και εξήλθεν Ιηού ο υιός του Ανανί, ο βλέπων, εις απάντησιν αυτού, και είπε προς τον βασιλέα Ιωσαφάτ, Τον ασεβή βοηθείς και τους μισούντας τον Κύριον αγαπάς; διά τούτο οργή παρά του Κυρίου είναι επί σέ·
2 Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to King Jehoshaphat, “Should you help the wicked, and love those who hate Yahweh? Because of this, wrath is on you from before Yahweh.
3 πλην ευρέθησαν εν σοι καλά πράγματα, καθότι αφήρεσας τα άλση από της γης και κατεύθυνας την καρδίαν σου εις το να εκζητής τον Θεόν.
3 Nevertheless there are good things found in you, in that you have put away the Asheroth out of the land, and have set your heart to seek God.”
4 Και κατώκησεν ο Ιωσαφάτ εν Ιερουσαλήμ· έπειτα εξήλθε πάλιν διά του λαού από Βηρ-σαβεέ έως του όρους Εφραΐμ, και επέστρεψεν αυτούς προς Κύριον τον Θεόν των πατέρων αυτών.
4 Jehoshaphat lived at Jerusalem; and he went out again among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim, and brought them back to Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
5 Και κατέστησε κριτάς εν τη γη, εν πάσαις ταις οχυραίς πόλεσι του Ιούδα, εν εκάστη πόλει.
5 He set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,
6 Και είπε προς τους κριτάς, Ιδέτε τι κάμνετε σείς· διότι δεν κρίνετε κρίσιν ανθρώπου, αλλά του Κυρίου, όστις είναι μεθ' υμών εν τη κρισολογία·
6 and said to the judges, “Consider what you do, for you don’t judge for man, but for Yahweh; and he is with you in the judgment.
7 τώρα λοιπόν ας ήναι εφ' υμάς ο φόβος του Κυρίου· προσέχετε εις τας πράξεις σας· διότι δεν είναι αδικία παρά Κυρίω τω Θεώ ημών ουδέ προσωποληψία ουδέ δωροδοκία.
7 Now therefore let the fear of Yahweh be on you. Take heed and do it; for there is no iniquity with Yahweh our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.”
8 Και εν Ιερουσαλήμ έτι κατέστησεν ο Ιωσαφάτ κριτάς εκ των Λευϊτών και των ιερέων και εκ των αρχηγών των πατριών του Ισραήλ, διά την κρίσιν του Κυρίου και διά τας διαφοράς, και προσέτρεχον εις Ιερουσαλήμ.
8 Moreover in Jerusalem Jehoshaphat appointed certain Levites, priests, and heads of the fathers’ households of Israel to give judgment for Yahweh and for controversies. They returned to Jerusalem.
9 Και προσέταξεν αυτούς, λέγων, Ούτω θέλετε κάμνει εν φόβω Κυρίου, εν πίστει και εν καρδία τελεία·
9 He commanded them, saying, “You shall do this in the fear of Yahweh, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
10 και οποιαδήποτε διαφορά έλθη προς εσάς εκ των αδελφών σας, των κατοικούντων εν ταις πόλεσιν αυτών, αναμέσον αίματος και αίματος, αναμέσον νόμου και εντολής, διαταγμάτων και νομίμων, θέλετε νουθετεί αυτούς, διά να μη γίνωνται ένοχοι εις τον Κύριον, και έλθη οργή εφ' υμάς και επί τους αδελφούς υμών· ούτω κάμνετε, και δεν θέλετε γίνεσθαι ένοχοι·
10 Whenever any controversy comes to you from your brothers who dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, you must warn them, that they not be guilty toward Yahweh, and so wrath come on you and on your brothers. Do this, and you will not be guilty.
11 και ιδού, Αμαρίας ο ιερεύς θέλει είσθαι ο αρχηγός υμών εν πάση υποθέσει του Κυρίου, και Ζεβαδίας ο υιός του Ισραήλ, ο άρχων του οίκου Ιούδα, εν πάση υποθέσει του βασιλέως· οι δε Λευΐται θέλουσιν είσθαι επιστάται έμπροσθέν σας· ανδρίζεσθε και πράττετε, και ο Κύριος θέλει είσθαι μετά του αγαθού.
11 Behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of Yahweh; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all the king’s matters. Also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and may Yahweh be with the good.”
