< 2 Kronická 17 >
1 I kraloval Jozafat syn jeho místo něho, a zmocnil se Izraele.
And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his stead, and strengthened himself 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 placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and placed garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Assa his father had captured.
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 David his father, and sought not after the Be'alim;
4 Ale Boha otce svého hledal, a v přikázaních jeho chodil, aniž následoval skutků lidu Izraelského.
On the contrary, after the God of his father did he seek, and in his commandments did he walk, but not after the doings of Israel.
5 I utvrdil Hospodin království v ruce jeho, a dal všecken lid Judský dary Jozafatovi, tak že měl bohatství a slávy hojně.
Therefore did the Lord establish the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah gave presents to Jehoshaphat; and he had riches and honor in abundance.
6 A nabyv udatného srdce k cestám Hospodinovým, zkazil přesto také i výsosti a háje v Judstvu.
And his heart raised itself up in the ways of the Lord, and he removed moreover the high-places and groves out of Judah.
7 Léta pak třetího království svého poslal knížata svá: Benchaile, Abdiáše, Zachariáše, Natanaele a Micheáše, aby učili v městech Judských.
And in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben-chayil, and 'Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Michayahu, to teach in the cities 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, Shema'yahu, and Nethanyahu, and Zebadyahu, and 'Assahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adoniyahu, and Tobiyahu, and Tobadoniyah, the Levites; and with them Elishama' and Jehoram, the priests.
9 Kteříž učili v Judstvu, majíce s sebou knihu zákona Hospodinova. Chodili pak vůkol po všech městech Judských, vyučujíce lid.
And they taught in Judah, and with them was the book of the law of the Lord, and they moved about through all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.
10 I byl strach Hospodinův na všech královstvích zemí, kteréž byly vůkol Judstva, tak že nebojovali proti Jozafatovi.
And the dread of the Lord was upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war with 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.
Also from the Philistines did people bring unto Jehoshaphat presents and silver, as tribute: also the Arabians brought him small cattle, rams seven thousand and seven hundred, and he-goats seven thousand and seven hundred.
12 I prospíval Jozafat, a rostl až na nejvyšší, a vystavěl v Judstvu zámky a města k skladům.
And Jehoshaphat went on becoming exceedingly great, and he built in Judah castles and treasure-cities.
13 A práci mnohou vedl při městech Judských, muže pak válečné a slovoutné měl v Jeruzalémě.
And he had great works in the cities of Judah, and men of war, mighty in valor, 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 these are their numbers according to their family divisions: Of Judah, of the captains of the thousands was 'Adnah the chief, and with him were mighty men of valor, three hundred thousand.
15 A po něm Jochanan kníže, a s ním dvě stě a osmdesát tisíc.
And next to him was Jehochanan the chief, and with him were two hundred and eighty thousand.
16 Po něm Amaziáš syn Zichrův, kterýž se dobrovolně byl oddal Hospodinu, a při něm dvakrát sto tisíc mužů udatných.
And next to him was 'Amassyah the son of Zichri, who voluntarily offered himself unto the Lord; and with him were two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
17 Z Beniamina pak muž udatný Eliada, a s ním lidu zbrojného s lučišti a pavézami dvakrát sto tisíc.
And of Benjamin, the mighty valiant Elyada', and with him were those armed with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
18 A po něm Jozabad, a s ním sto a osmdesát tisíc způsobných k boji.
And next him was Jehozabad, and with him were one hundred and eighty thousand ready armed for the host.
19 Ti sloužili králi, kromě těch, kteréž byl osadil král po městech hrazených po všem Judstvu.
These were those that ministered to the king, besides those whom the king had placed in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
