2 Thusimbu 17
1 Chuin Asa chapa Jehosophat chu abanin lengin ahugpang in, ama chun Israel ten ahin nokhum tengule dinjou nadingin Judah techu ahatsah ben ahi.
And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, —and strengthened himself against Israel;
2 Judah gamsunga kulpi kigen khopi jousea a sepai ho chu atousah in, chule Judah gam'a apa Asa in ana lah Ephraim gam'a khopiho ngah ding mi anganse be in ahi.
and put 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 captured.
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 it came to pass, that, Yahweh, was with Jehoshaphat, —because he walked in the first ways of David his father, and sought not unto the Baalim;
4 Israel lenggamma thilse abolluva achonset nau juilou vin apa Pathen ahollin athupeh ho ajuiyin ahi.
for, unto the God of his father, he sought, and, in his commandments, he walked, —and not according to the doing of Israel.
5 Hiti chun Pakaiyin Judah lenggam chunga vaihom dingin Jehosophat chu atungdoh tan, Judah mite jousen Jehosophat chu kipa thilpeh ahin pohpeh un; hitichun ama chu haosa tah le sangtah’a ginle ja in aumtan ahi.
Therefore did Yahweh establish the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah gave a present unto Jehoshaphat, —and he came to have riches and honour, in abundance.
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 his heart was encouraged, in the ways of Yahweh, —and he, yet further, took away the high places and the Sacred Stems, out of Judah.
7 Jehosophat Leng chan kal kum thum lhin kum chun, Judah khopi jousea amilen amilal ho chu mihil dingin asollin ahi. Hiche Milen milal ho chu Benhiel, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nathaniel chule Micaiah ahiuve. Elishana le Jeroboam thempu teni jong asoldoh in ahi.
And, in the third year of his reign, he sent to his rulers, even to Ben-hail and to Obadiah and to Zechariah, and to Nethanel, and to Micaiah, —that they were to teach throughout the cities of Judah;
8 Amaho chengtoh asoltha Levi techu ahile Shemiah, Nethaniah, Zebediah, Asahel, Shemaramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tabijah chule To-adonijah ahiuve.
and, with them, Levites, Shemaiah and Nethaniah and Zebadiah and Asahel and Shemiramoth and Jehonathan, and Adonijah and Tobijah and Tob-adonijah, Levites, —and, with them, Elishama and Jehoram, priests;
9 Amahon Pakai danbu chu akipoh un, chuin Judah gam sunga khopi ho jousea chon leuvin miho chu thu ahillun ahi.
and they taught throughout Judah, and, with them, was the book of the law of Yahweh, —so they went round throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught 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 it came to pass, that, the dread of Yahweh, was upon all the kingdoms of the countries, that were round about Judah, —and they warred not against Jehoshaphat.
11 Palestine gam'a mi phabep khat kipa thilpeh le dangka ama jabolna chun ahinpouvin, chule Arab mite chun kelngoi chal ja sagi le kelchal sang sagi le jasagi ahin poh peh uvin ahi.
And, from among the Philistines, were they bringing in unto Jehoshaphat a present, and silver as tribute, —even the Arabians, were bringing in unto him flocks, seven thousand seven hundred rams, and seven thousand seven hundred he-goats.
12 Hitichun Jehosophat chu athahat cheh cheh jengin, chule kulpi le thilkholna khopi ho chu Judah gamsung pumpia chun asabe jing in ahi.
And so it came to pass that, Jehoshaphat, went on waxing surpassingly great, —and he built, throughout Judah, fortresses and cities for store;
13 Judah khopi ho achun nehle chah atama tam akoiyin, thepna sangtah nei sepai hon ho chu Jerusalem a chun atousah in ahi. A sepai ho chu apu apa lhah’a phungkhai dungjuiyin aminnu akhumpeh in ahi.
and, much business, had he, throughout the cities of Judah, —but, the men of war, the heroes of valour, were in Jerusalem.
14 Judah phunga konin sepai sang jathum, honkhatna sangkhat cheh chu Adnah lamkaina noija aum uvin ahi.
And, these, are the numbers of them, by their ancestral house, —To Judah, pertained rulers of thousands, Adnah the chief, and, with him, mighty men of valour, three hundred thousand;
15 Ama noichetna lamkai chu Jehohanan ahin, aman sepai sang jani le sang somget alamkai in ahi.
and, under his direction, was Jehohanan the chief, —and, with him, two hundred and eighty thousand;
16 Abana Zecri chapa Amaniah chu ama chammin Pakai natong dingin ahung kipeldoh in, ama lamkai na noiya chun sang jani aumin ahi.
and, under his direction, Amasiah son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto Yahweh, —and, with him, two hundred thousand heroes of valour.
17 Benjamin phunga konin thalpi le pho mangcha sepai sang jani aumme, amaho chu sepai tamtah Eleada lamkai na noiya um ahiuve.
And, out of Benjamin, a hero of valour, Eliada, —and, with him, armed with bow and buckler, two hundred thousand;
18 Abanna chun Jehojabad chu ahin, aman gal manchah choi mi sang jakhat le sang somget alamkai jin ahi.
and, under his direction, Jehozabad, —and, with him, a hundred and eighty thousand, equipped for war.
19 Sepai hijat hi Jerusalem a lengpan amanchah ahin, hiche chungchonna hin Jehosophat chun Judah gam pumpia kulpi kigen khopihoa jong atousah in ahi.
These, were they who were waiting upon the king, —besides those whom the king placed in the fortified cities, throughout all Judah.
