2 Ljetopisa 17
1 Onda se na njegovo mjesto zakralji sin mu Jošafat; on pokaza svoju silu protiv Izraela.
And Jehoshaphat his son reigneth in his stead, and he strengtheneth himself against Israel,
2 Razmjestio je vojsku po svim utvrđenim judejskim gradovima i postavio namjesnike po judejskoj zemlji i po Efrajimovim gradovima, koje bijaše zauzeo otac mu Asa.
and putteth a force in all the fenced cities of Judah, and putteth garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim that Asa his father had captured.
3 Jahve je bio s Jošafatom jer je hodio pravim putovima svoga oca Davida i nije tražio baala.
And Jehovah is with Jehoshaphat, for he hath walked in the first ways of David his father, and hath not sought to Baalim,
4 Tražio je Boga svojih otaca i hodio po njegovim zapovijedima, ne čineći kao Izraelovi sinovi.
for to the God of his father he hath sought, and in His commands he hath walked, and not according to the work of Israel.
5 Zato je Jahve utvrdio kraljevstvo u njegovoj ruci, pa su svi Judejci davali Jošafatu danak, tako da je stekao veliko bogatstvo i slavu.
And Jehovah doth establish the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah give a present to Jehoshaphat, and he hath riches and honour in abundance,
6 Njegovo se srce hrabrilo na Jahvinim putovima, pa je uklonio još i uzvišice i ašere iz Judeje.
and his heart is high in the ways of Jehovah, and again he hath turned aside the high places and the shrines out of Judah.
7 Treće godine kraljevanja posla knezove Ben-Hajila, Obadju, Zahariju, Netanela i Miheja da uče po judejskim gradovima.
And in the third year of his reign he hath sent for his heads, for Ben-Hail, and for Obadiah, and for Zechariah, and for Nethaneel, and for Michaiah, to teach in cities of Judah,
8 I s njima levite: Šemaju, Netaniju, Zebadju, Asahela, Šemiramota, Jonatana, Adoniju, Tobiju i Tob Adoniju; a s njima svećenike Elišamu i Jorama.
and with them the Levites, Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijath, and Tob-Adonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
9 Poučavali su po Judeji noseći sa sobom Knjigu Zakona Jahvina i obilazili sve judejske gradove učeći narod.
And they teach in Judah, and with them [is] the Book of the Law of Jehovah, and they go round about into all cities of Judah, and teach among the people.
10 Jahvin je strah spopao sva zemaljska kraljevstva oko Judeje, tako da nisu smjela zaratiti na Jošafata.
And here is a fear of Jehovah on all kingdoms of the lands that [are] round about Judah, and they have not fought with Jehoshaphat;
11 Sami su mu neki Filistejci donosili darove i novčani danak, a Arapi mu dogonili sitnu stoku: po sedam tisuća i sedam stotina ovnova te sedam tisuća i sedam stotina jaraca.
and of the Philistines they are bringing in to Jehoshaphat a present, and tribute silver; also, the Arabians are bringing to him a flock, rams seven thousand an seven hundred, and he-goats seven thousand and seven hundred.
12 Tako je Jošafat sve više napredovao dok ne postade vrlo velik. Sazidao je u Judeji kule i gradove-skladišta.
And Jehoshaphat is going on and becoming very great, and he buildeth in Judah palaces and cities of store,
13 Imao je mnogo zaliha u judejskim gradovima, a hrabrih junaka u Jeruzalemu.
and he hath much work in cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty of valour, [are] in Jerusalem.
14 Evo njihova popisa po obiteljima: od Judina plemena tisućnici: vojvoda Adna i s njim trista tisuća hrabrih junaka;
And these [are] their numbers, for the house of their fathers: Of Judah, heads of thousands, Adnah the head, and with him mighty ones of valour, three hundred chiefs.
15 do njega vojvoda Johanan i s njim dvjesta i osamdeset tisuća;
And at his hand [is] Jehohanan the head, and with him two hundred and eighty chiefs.
16 za njim Zikrijev sin Amasja, koji se spremno stavio u Jahvinu službu, a s njim dvjesta tisuća hrabrih junaka.
And at his hand [is] Amasiah son of Zichri, who is willingly offering himself to Jehovah, and with him two hundred chiefs, mighty of valour.
17 Od Benjaminova plemena: hrabri junak Eliada i s njim dvjesta tisuća ljudi naoružanih lukom i štitom;
And of Benjamin: mighty of valour, Eliada, and with him, armed with bow and shield, two hundred chiefs.
18 za njim Jehozabad i s njim sto i osamdeset tisuća pripravnih za boj.
And at his hand [is] Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty chiefs, armed ones of the host.
19 To su oni koji su služili kralju, ne brojeći one što ih je kralj namjestio u tvrdim gradovima po svoj Judeji.
These [are] those serving the king, apart from those whom the king put in the cities of fortress, in all Judah.
