2 Kronická 17
1 I kraloval Jozafat syn jeho místo něho, a zmocnil se Izraele.
Then Jehoshaphat, his son, reigned in his place. And he grew strong against Israel.
2 I osadil lidem válečným všecka města hrazená v Judstvu, a postavil stráž v zemi Judské a v městech Efraim, kteráž byl zdobýval Aza otec jeho.
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 A byl Hospodin s Jozafatem; nebo chodil po cestách Davida otce svého prvních, aniž hledal modl.
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 Ale Boha otce svého hledal, a v přikázaních jeho chodil, aniž následoval skutků lidu Izraelského.
but in the God of his father. And he advanced in his precepts, and not according to the sins of Israel.
5 I utvrdil Hospodin království v ruce jeho, a dal všecken lid Judský dary Jozafatovi, tak že měl bohatství a slávy hojně.
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 A nabyv udatného srdce k cestám Hospodinovým, zkazil přesto také i výsosti a háje v Judstvu.
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.
7 Léta pak třetího království svého poslal knížata svá: Benchaile, Abdiáše, Zachariáše, Natanaele a Micheáše, aby učili v městech Judských.
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 A s nimi Levíty: Semaiáše, Netaniáše, Zebadiáše, Azaele, Semiramota, Jonatana, Adoniáše, Tobiáše a Tobadoniáše, Levíty, a s nimi Elisama a Jehorama, kněží,
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 Kteříž učili v Judstvu, majíce s sebou knihu zákona Hospodinova. Chodili pak vůkol po všech městech Judských, vyučujíce lid.
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 I byl strach Hospodinův na všech královstvích zemí, kteréž byly vůkol Judstva, tak že nebojovali proti Jozafatovi.
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.
11 Nýbrž i Filistinští přinášeli Jozafatovi dary a berni uloženou. Arabští také přiháněli jemu dobytky, skopců po sedmi tisících a sedmi stech, též kozlů po sedmi tisících a sedmi stech.
Moreover, the Philistines carried gifts to Jehoshaphat, and a tribute in silver. Also, the Arabians brought cattle: seven thousand seven hundred rams, and the same number of he-goats.
12 I prospíval Jozafat, a rostl až na nejvyšší, a vystavěl v Judstvu zámky a města k skladům.
Therefore, Jehoshaphat increased and was magnified, even on high. And in Judah, he built houses in the likeness of towers, and walled cities.
13 A práci mnohou vedl při městech Judských, muže pak válečné a slovoutné měl v Jeruzalémě.
And he prepared many works in the cities of Judah. Also, there were men experienced in warfare in Jerusalem,
14 A tento jest počet jich po domích otců jejich: Z Judy knížata nad tisíci: Adna kníže, a s ním udatných rytířů třikrát sto tisíc.
and this is the number of them, by each of the houses and families. In Judah, the leader of the army was Adnah, the commander; and with him were three hundred thousand very experienced men.
15 A po něm Jochanan kníže, a s ním dvě stě a osmdesát tisíc.
After him, Jehohanan was the leader; and with him were two hundred eighty thousand.
16 Po něm Amaziáš syn Zichrův, kterýž se dobrovolně byl oddal Hospodinu, a při něm dvakrát sto tisíc mužů udatných.
Also after him, there was Amasiah, the son of Zichri, who was consecrated to the Lord; and with him were two hundred thousand strong men.
17 Z Beniamina pak muž udatný Eliada, a s ním lidu zbrojného s lučišti a pavézami dvakrát sto tisíc.
Following him, there was Eliada, who was experienced in battle; and with him were two hundred thousand, holding bow and shield.
18 A po něm Jozabad, a s ním sto a osmdesát tisíc způsobných k boji.
Then too, after him, there was Jehozabad; and with him were one hundred eighty thousand lightly-armed soldiers.
19 Ti sloužili králi, kromě těch, kteréž byl osadil král po městech hrazených po všem Judstvu.
All these were at the hand of the king, aside from the others, whom he had positioned in the walled cities, in all of Judah.
