2 Istwa 19
Bib La · Kreyòl Ayisyen
1 Jozafa li menm, wa peyi Jida a, tounen lakay li lavil Jerizalèm san anyen pa rive l'. 2 Yon pwofèt yo te rele Jeou, pitit gason Anani an, vin kontre wa a, li di l' konsa: -Ki jan ou fè al ede moun k'ap fè mal? Ki jan ou rive fè zanmi ak moun ki pa vle wè Seyè a? Se poutèt sa, Seyè a fache sou ou anpil. 3 Men malgre sa, ou fè kèk bagay ki bon. Ou te kraze tout pòtre Achera, bondye fanm, ki te nan peyi a. Lèfini ou te chache fè volonte Bondye. 4 Jozafa te rete lavil Jerizalèm. Men, li pran vizite pèp la nan tout peyi a ankò, depi lavil Bècheba nan sid, rive jouk nan mòn Efrayim yo nan nò, pou l' te fè pèp la tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a. 5 Li mete jij nan chak lavil ak ranpa peyi Jida a, yonn apre lòt. 6 Li di jij yo: -Kalkile byen travay nou pral fè a, paske nou pa pral jije nan non yon moun, men nan non Seyè a. L'ap kanpe la bò kote nou lè n'ap rann jijman. 7 Se pou nou gen krentif pou Seyè a. Veye zo nou nan tou sa n'ap fè, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pa tolere lenjistis ak patipri. Li pa nan pran kado nan men moun pou fè pa yo. 8 Nan lavil Jerizalèm menm, Jozafa chwazi kèk moun Levi, prèt ak chèf fanmi, li mete pou jije tout ka ki an rapò ak lalwa Bondye a, tout pwose moun lavil Jerizalèm yo ka gen yonn ak lòt. 9 Li ba yo lòd, li di yo: -Se pou nou fè travay nou ak krentif pou Bondye. Se pou nou swiv lòd li nan tou sa n'ap fè. 10 Chak fwa frè nou yo ki rete nan lòt lavil yo vin pote yon ka devan nou, kit se pou yon moun yo touye, kit se pou yon lwa, yon lòd, yon regleman osinon yon prensip yo dezobeyi, se pou nou pale ak yo pou yo pa fè anyen ki mal devan Seyè a. Si nou pa fè sa, Seyè a ap move ni sou nou ni sou moun nou yo. Si nou fè sa nou dwe fè, nou p'ap koupab nou menm. 11 Amarya, granprèt la, va pi gwo jij pou tout ka ki an rapò ak lalwa Bondye a. Zebadya, pitit Izmayèl la, chèf branch fanmi Jida a, va pi gwo jij pou tou sa ki an rapò ak lalwa peyi a. Se va reskonsablite moun Levi yo pou yo fè respekte tout desizyon n'a pran. Mete gason sou nou. Fe travay nou. Se pou Seyè a toujou kanpe la ak moun ki mache dwat yo.

2 Istwa 19:1-4
2Ch 19:1-4. Jehoshaphat Visits His Kingdom.
1-4. Jehoshaphat ... returned to his house in peace--(See 2Ch 18:16). Not long after he had resumed the ordinary functions of royalty in Jerusalem, he was one day disturbed by an unexpected and ominous visit from a prophet of the Lord [2Ch 19:2]. This was Jehu, of whose father we read in 2Ch 16:7. He himself had been called to discharge the prophetic office in Israel. But probably for his bold rebuke to Baasha (1Ki 16:1), he had been driven by that arbitrary monarch within the territory of Judah, where we now find him with the privileged license of his order, taking the same religious supervision of Jehoshaphat's proceedings as he had formerly done of Baasha's. At the interview here described, he condemned, in the strongest terms, the king of Judah's imprudent and incongruous league with Ahab--God's open enemy (1Ki 22:2)--as an unholy alliance that would be conducive neither to the honor and comfort of his house nor to the best interests of his kingdom. He apprised Jehoshaphat that, on account of that grave offense, "wrath was upon him from before the Lord," a judgment that was inflicted soon after (see on 2Ch 20:1-37). The prophet's rebuke, however, was administered in a mingled strain of severity and mildness; for he interposed "a nevertheless" (2Ch 19:3), which implied that the threatened storm would be averted, in token of the divine approval of his public efforts for the promotion of the true religion, as well as of the sincere piety of his personal character and life.
2 Istwa 19:5-7
5-7. he set judges in the land--There had been judicial courts established at an early period. But Jehoshaphat was the first king who modified these institutions according to the circumstances of the now fragmentary kingdom of Judah. He fixed local courts in each of the fortified cities, these being the provincial capitals of every district (see on De 16:18).
2Ch 19:8-11. To the Priests and Levites.
2 Istwa 19:8
8. set of the Levites ... priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel--A certain number of these three classes constituted a supreme court, which sat in Jerusalem to review appellate cases from the inferior courts. It consisted of two divisions: the first of which had jurisdiction in ecclesiastical matters; the second, in civil, fiscal, and criminal cases. According to others, the two divisions of the supreme court adjudicated: the one according to the law contained in the sacred books; the other according to the law of custom and equity. As in Eastern countries at the present day, the written and unwritten law are objects of separate jurisdiction.
