وَخَلَفَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ أَبَاهُ عَلَى الْمُلْكِ. وَجَعَلَ يُعَبِّىءُ قُوَّاتِهِ لِمُحَارَبَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١ 1
And Josaphat his son reigned in his stead, Josaphat strengthened himself against Israel.
وَوَزَّعَ جُيُوشَهُ عَلَى مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا الْحَصِينَةِ، وَأَقَامَ حَامِيَاتٍ فِي سَائِرِ أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي مُدُنِ أَفْرَايِمَ الَّتِي اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا آسَا أَبُوهُ. ٢ 2
And he put garrisons in all the strong cities of Juda, and appointed captains in all the cities of Juda, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ مَعَ يَهُوشَافَاطَ لأَنَّهُ سَارَ فِي طُرُقِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ وَلَمْ يَضِلَّ وَرَاءَ الْبَعْلِيمِ. ٣ 3
And the Lord was with Josaphat, for he walked in the first ways of his father, and did not seek to idols;
وَلَكِنَّهُ طَلَبَ إِلَهَ أَبِيهِ وَسَلَكَ حَسَبَ وَصَايَاهُ، وَتَجَنَّبَ أَعْمَالَ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٤ 4
but he sought to the Lord God of his father, and walked in the commandments of his father, and not according to the works of Israel.
فَثَبَّتَ الرَّبُّ دَعَائِمَ الْمَمْلَكَةِ فِي يَدِهِ، وَقَدَّمَ لَهُ شَعْبُ يَهُوذَا الْهَدَايَا، فَازْدَادَ غِنىً وَكَرَامَةً. ٥ 5
And the Lord prospered the kingdom in his hand; and all Juda gave gifts to Josaphat; and he had great wealth and glory.
وَامْتَلأَ قَلْبُهُ قُوَّةً بِالرَّبِّ فَسَلَكَ فِي طُرُقِهِ، وَاسْتَأْصَلَ أَيْضاً الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ وَتَمَاثِيلَ عَشْتَارُوثَ مِنْ يَهُوذَا. ٦ 6
And his heart was exalted in the way of the Lord; and he removed the high places and the groves from the land of Juda.
وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ لِحُكْمِهِ طَلَبَ مِنْ قَادَتِهِ: بِنْحَائِلَ وَعُوبَدْيَا وَزَكَرِيَّا وَنَثَنْئِيلَ وَمِيخَايَا أَنْ يَشْرَعُوا فِي التَّعْلِيمِ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا، ٧ 7
And in the third year of his reign, he sent his chief men, and his mighty men, Abdias and Zacharias, and Nathanael, and Michaias, to teach in the cities of Juda.
بِالتَّعَاوُنِ مَعَ اللّاوِيِّينَ: شَمْعِيَا وَنَثَنْيَا وَزَبَدْيَا وَعَسَائِيلَ وَشَمِيرَامُوثَ وَيَهُونَاثَانَ وَأَدُونِيَّا وَطُوبِيَّا وَطُوبَ أَدُونِيَّا، فَضْلاً عَنِ الْكَاهِنَيْنِ أَلِيشَمَعَ وَيَهُورَامَ. ٨ 8
And with them [were] the Levites, Samaias, and Nathanias, and Zabdias, and Asiel, and Semiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonias, and Tobias, and Tobadonias, Levites, and with them Elisama and Joram, the priests.
فَتَجَوَّلُوا فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاءِ يَهُوذَا حَامِلِينَ مَعَهُمْ سِفْرَ شَرِيعَةِ الرَّبِّ لِيُعَلِّمُوا الشَّعْبَ. ٩ 9
And they taught in Juda, and [there was] with them the book of the law of the Lord, and they passed through the cities of Juda, and taught the people.
وَكَانَتْ هَيْبَةُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى جَمِيعِ مَمَالِكِ الْبُلْدَانِ الْمُجَاوِرَةِ لِيَهُوذَا فَلَمْ يُحَارِبُوا يَهُوشَافَاطَ. ١٠ 10
And a terror of the Lord was upon all the kingdoms of the land round about Juda, and they made no war against Josaphat.
بَلْ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ حَمَلُوا إِلَى يَهُوشَافَاطَ هَدَايَا وَفِضَّةً كَمَا قَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ الأَعْرَابُ سَبْعَةَ آلافٍ وَسَبْعَ مِئَةِ كَبْشٍ، وَسَبْعَةَ آلافٍ وَسَبْعَ مِئَةِ تَيْسٍ. ١١ 11
And [some] of the Philistines brought to Josaphat gifts, and silver, and presents; and the Arabians brought him seven thousand seven hundred rams.
وَعَظُمَ شَأْنُ يَهُوشَافَاطَ وَبَنَى فِي يَهُوذَا حُصُوناً وَمُدُنَ مَخَازِنَ لِلتَّمْوِينِ. ١٢ 12
And Josaphat increased in greatness exceedingly, and built in Judea places of abode, and strong cities.
وَتَكَاثَرَتْ أَشْغَالُهُ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا، كَمَا كَانَ لَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ جَيْشٌ قَوِيٌّ مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الأَشِدَّاءِ. ١٣ 13
And he had many works in Judea: and the mighty men of war, [the men] of strength, [were] in Jerusalem.
وَهَذَا إِحْصَاءٌ بَعَدَدِهِمْ بِحَسَبِ انْتِمَائِهِمْ لِبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ: مِنْ يَهُوذَا رُؤَسَاءُ الأُلُوفِ: عَدَنَةُ الْقَائِدُ الْعَامُّ لِقُوَّاتِ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا الْبَالِغَةِ ثَلاثَ مِئَةِ أَلْفٍ مِنَ الْمُحَارِبيِنَ الأَشِدَّاءِ. ١٤ 14
And this [is] their number according to the houses of their fathers; even the captains of thousands in Juda [were], Ednas the chief, and with him mighty men of strength three hundred thousand.
وَيَتْلُوهُ يَهُونَاثَانُ قَائِداً لِمِئَتَيْنِ وَثَمَانِينَ أَلْفَ جُنْدِيٍّ. ١٥ 15
And after him, Joanan the captain, and with him two hundred eighty thousand.
ثُمَّ الْقَائِدُ عَمَسْيَا بْنُ زِكْرِي الْمُتَطَوِّعُ لِخِدْمَةِ الرَّبِّ، عَلَى رَأْسِ مِئَتَيْ أَلْفِ مُحَارِبٍ جَبَّارٍ. ١٦ 16
And after him Amasias the [son] of Zari, who was zealous for the Lord; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of strength.
وَمِنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ: أَلِيَادَاعُ قَائِدٌ لِمِئَتَيْ أَلْفٍ مِنْ رُمَاةِ السِّهَامِ وَحَمَلَةِ التُّرُوسِ. ١٧ 17
And out of Benjamin [there was] a mighty man of strength, even Eliada, and with him two hundred thousand archers and targeteers.
وَيَتْلُوهُ يَهُوزَابَادُ الَّذِي تَوَلَّى قِيَادَةَ مِئَةٍ وَثَمَانِينَ أَلْفاً مِنَ الْجُنُودِ الْمُدَرَّبِينَ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ. ١٨ 18
And after him Jozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand mighty men of war.
هَؤُلاءِ هُمْ قَادَةُ الْمَلِكِ، فَضْلاً عَنِ الَّذِينَ أَقَامَهُمْ فِي الْمُدُنِ الْحَصِينَةِ فِي كُلِّ أَرْجَاءِ يَهُوذَا. ١٩ 19
These were the king's servants besides those whom the king put in the strong cities in all Judea.
