Then Jehoshaphat, his son, reigned in his place. And he grew strong against Israel.

And he appointed numbers of soldiers in all the cities of Judah that had been fortified with walls. And he placed garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had seized.
3 Pakaiyin Jehosophat chu aumpie. Ajeh chu apan alengchan tillai kum hoa vetjui thei ho ajuijeh chun Pakaiyin Jehoshaphat chu aumpin ahi, chule aman Baal lim semthu ahou pon ahi.
And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father, David. And he did not trust in the Baals,
4 Israel lenggamma thilse abolluva achonset nau juilou vin apa Pathen ahollin athupeh ho ajuiyin ahi.
but in the God of his father. And he advanced in his precepts, and not according to the sins of Israel.

And the Lord confirmed the kingdom in his hand. And all of Judah gave gifts to Jehoshaphat. And innumerable riches were brought to him, and much glory.
6 Ama chu giltah’in Pakai lampi hoa akipelut jengin ahi. Aman Judah gamsunga milim doi houna jamona lim ma kisem Asherah khom ho aladoh soh keitai.
And when his heart had taken courage because of the ways of the Lord, he now also took away the high places and the sacred groves from Judah.

Then, in the third year of his reign, he sent Benhail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, from among his leaders, so that they might teach in the cites of Judah.
8 Amaho chengtoh asoltha Levi techu ahile Shemiah, Nethaniah, Zebediah, Asahel, Shemaramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tabijah chule To-adonijah ahiuve.
And with them were the Levites Shemaiah and Nethaniah and Zebadiah, and also Asahel and Shemiramoth and Jehonathan, and the Levites Adonijah and Tobijah and Tobadonijah. And with them were the priests Elishama and Jehoram.
9 Amahon Pakai danbu chu akipoh un, chuin Judah gam sunga khopi ho jousea chon leuvin miho chu thu ahillun ahi.
And they were teaching the people in Judah, having with them the book of the law of the Lord. And they were traveling through all the cities of Judah, and were instructing the people.
10 Chuti chun akim vella lenggam jouse chunga chun, Pakai ginna chu achutan, hijeh chun Jehosophat douna khat beh in jong gal abolnom tapouve.
And so, the fear of the Lord fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands which were around Judah. And they did not dare to make war against Jehoshaphat.
