وَمَلَكَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ وَتَشَدَّدَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١ 1
And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
وَجَعَلَ جَيْشًا فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا ٱلْحَصِينَةِ، وَجَعَلَ وُكَلَاءَ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي مُدُنِ أَفْرَايِمَ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذَهَا آسَا أَبُوهُ. ٢ 2
And he placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَ يَهُوشَافَاطَ لِأَنَّهُ سَارَ فِي طُرُقِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ ٱلْأُولَى، وَلَمْ يَطْلُبِ ٱلْبَعْلِيمَ، ٣ 3
And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto the Baalim;
وَلَكِنَّهُ طَلَبَ إِلَهَ أَبِيهِ وَسَارَ فِي وَصَايَاهُ لَا حَسَبَ أَعْمَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٤ 4
but sought to the God of his father, and walked in His commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
فَثَبَّتَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ فِي يَدِهِ، وَقَدَّمَ كُلُّ يَهُوذَا هَدَايَا لِيَهُوشَافَاطَ. وَكَانَ لَهُ غِنًى وَكَرَامَةً بِكَثْرَةٍ. ٥ 5
Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
وَتَقَوَّى قَلْبُهُ فِي طُرُقِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَنَزَعَ أَيْضًا ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ وَٱلسَّوَارِيَ مِنْ يَهُوذَا. ٦ 6
And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD; and furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.
وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ لِمُلْكِهِ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى رُؤَسَائِهِ، إِلَى بِنْحَائِلَ وَعُوبَدْيَا وَزَكَرِيَّا وَنَثَنْئِيلَ وَمِيخَايَا أَنْ يُعَلِّمُوا فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا، ٧ 7
Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben-hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;
وَمَعَهُمُ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ شَمْعِيَا وَنَثَنْيَا وَزَبَدْيَا وَعَسَائِيلُ وَشَمِيرَامُوثُ وَيَهُونَاثَانُ وَأَدُونِيَّا وَطُوبِيَّا وَطُوبُ أَدُونِيَّا ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ، وَمَعَهُمْ أَلِيشَمَعُ وَيَهُورَامُ ٱلْكَاهِنَانِ. ٨ 8
and with them the Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
فَعَلَّمُوا فِي يَهُوذَا وَمَعَهُمْ سِفْرُ شَرِيعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَجَالُوا فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَعَلَّمُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ. ٩ 9
And they taught in Judah, having the book of the Law of the LORD with them; and they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people.
وَكَانَتْ هَيْبَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى جَمِيعِ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي حَوْلَ يَهُوذَا فَلَمْ يُحَارِبُوا يَهُوشَافَاطَ. ١٠ 10
And a terror from the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
وَبَعْضُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ أَتَوْا يَهُوشَافَاطَ بِهَدَايَا وَحِمْلِ فِضَّةٍ، وَٱلْعُرْبَانُ أَيْضًا أَتَوْهُ بِغَنَمٍ: مِنَ ٱلْكِبَاشِ سَبْعَةِ آلَافٍ وَسَبْعِ مِئَةٍ، وَمِنَ ٱلتُّيُوسِ سَبْعَةِ آلَافٍ وَسَبْعِ مِئَةٍ. ١١ 11
And some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver for tribute; the Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he-goats.
وَكَانَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ يَتَعَظَّمُ جِدًّا، وَبَنَى فِي يَهُوذَا حُصُونًا وَمُدُنَ مَخَازِنَ. ١٢ 12
And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles and cities of store.
وَكَانَ لَهُ شُغْلٌ كَثِيرٌ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا، وَرِجَالُ حَرْبٍ جَبَابِرَةُ بَأْسٍ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. ١٣ 13
And he had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valour, in Jerusalem.
وَهَذَا عَدَدُهُمْ حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ مِنْ يَهُوذَا رُؤَسَاءِ أُلُوفٍ: عَدَنَةُ ٱلرَّئِيسُ وَمَعَهُ جَبَابِرَةُ بَأْسٍ ثَلَاثُ مِئَةِ أَلْفٍ. ١٤ 14
And this was the numbering of them according to their fathers' houses: of Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand;
وَبِجَانِبِهِ يَهُونَاثَانُ ٱلرَّئِيسُ وَمَعَهُ مِئَتَانِ وَثَمَانُونَ أَلْفًا. ١٥ 15
and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand;
وَبِجَانِبِهِ عَمَسْيَا بْنُ زِكْرِي ٱلْمُنْتَدِبُ لِلرَّبِّ وَمَعَهُ مِئَتَا أَلْفِ جَبَّارِ بَأْسٍ. ١٦ 16
and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour;
وَمِنْ بَنْيَامِينَ أَلِيَادَاعُ جَبَّارُ بَأْسٍ وَمَعَهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُتَسَلِّحِينَ بِٱلْقِسِيِّ وَٱلْأَتْرَاسِ مِئَتَا أَلْفٍ. ١٧ 17
and of Benjamin: Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
وَبِجَانِبِهِ يَهُوزَابَادُ وَمَعَهُ مِئَةٌ وَثَمَانُونَ أَلْفًا مُتَجَرِّدُونَ لِلْحَرْبِ. ١٨ 18
and next to him Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for war.
هَؤُلَاءِ خُدَّامُ ٱلْمَلِكِ، فَضْلًا عَنِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَعَلَهُمُ ٱلْمَلِكُ فِي ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلْحَصِينَةِ فِي كُلِّ يَهُوذَا. ١٩ 19
These were they that waited on the king beside those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
