2 Kronická 17
1 I kraloval Jozafat syn jeho místo něho, a zmocnil se Izraele.
Asa’s son Jehoshaphat became the king [of Judah], and he enabled his army to become very strong, with the result that they could resist attacks from [the army of] 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.
He put soldiers in all the cities in Judah around which they had built walls, and he put soldiers in other places in Judah and in the towns in the area belonging to the tribe of Ephraim that [soldiers of] his father Asa had captured.
3 A byl Hospodin s Jozafatem; nebo chodil po cestách Davida otce svého prvních, aniž hledal modl.
Yahweh helped Jehoshaphat because when he started [to rule Judah], he did the things that pleased Yahweh like his ancestor [King] David had done. He did not worship the idols of Baal.
4 Ale Boha otce svého hledal, a v přikázaních jeho chodil, aniž následoval skutků lidu Izraelského.
Instead, he sought advice from the God whom his father [had worshiped], and he obeyed God’s commands, and did not do the [evil things that the kings of] Israel continually did.
5 I utvrdil Hospodin království v ruce jeho, a dal všecken lid Judský dary Jozafatovi, tak že měl bohatství a slávy hojně.
Yahweh enabled him to completely control his kingdom. All [the people of] Judah brought gifts to him, with the result that he became very rich and was greatly honored.
6 A nabyv udatného srdce k cestám Hospodinovým, zkazil přesto také i výsosti a háje v Judstvu.
He was completely devoted to doing what pleased Yahweh. His workers got rid of the shrines on the hilltops and the poles for [worshiping the goddess] Asherah throughout Judah.
7 Léta pak třetího království svého poslal knížata svá: Benchaile, Abdiáše, Zachariáše, Natanaele a Micheáše, aby učili v městech Judských.
When he had been ruling [Judah] for almost three years, he sent some of his officials—Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah—to teach the people in various towns in Judah.
8 A s nimi Levíty: Semaiáše, Netaniáše, Zebadiáše, Azaele, Semiramota, Jonatana, Adoniáše, Tobiáše a Tobadoniáše, Levíty, a s nimi Elisama a Jehorama, kněží,
With them he sent several descendants of Levi—Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-Adonijah—and two priests, Elishama and Jehoram.
9 Kteříž učili v Judstvu, majíce s sebou knihu zákona Hospodinova. Chodili pak vůkol po všech městech Judských, vyučujíce lid.
They took with them a scroll on which were written the laws of Yahweh and taught them to the people in all the towns throughout Judah,
10 I byl strach Hospodinův na všech královstvích zemí, kteréž byly vůkol Judstva, tak že nebojovali proti Jozafatovi.
The people in all the kingdoms surrounding Judah became very afraid of [what Yahweh might do to punish them if they fought against Judah], so they did not start wars with Jehoshaphat’s army.
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.
Some people from Philistia brought gifts to Jehoshaphat, and they also brought to him the silver that he demanded that they pay to him. Some Arabs brought to him 7,700 rams and 7,700 goats.
12 I prospíval Jozafat, a rostl až na nejvyšší, a vystavěl v Judstvu zámky a města k skladům.
Jehoshaphat continued to become more powerful/influential. His workers built forts and places to store supplies in various towns in Judah.
13 A práci mnohou vedl při městech Judských, muže pak válečné a slovoutné měl v Jeruzalémě.
Then they put large amounts of supplies in those storehouses. Jehoshaphat also placed in Jerusalem soldiers who were experienced.
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.
The leaders and numbers from each tribe were as follows: From the tribe of Judah, Adnah was the leader of the soldiers, and he commanded 300,000 soldiers.
15 A po něm Jochanan kníže, a s ním dvě stě a osmdesát tisíc.
His assistant was Jehohanan, who commanded 280,000 soldiers.
16 Po něm Amaziáš syn Zichrův, kterýž se dobrovolně byl oddal Hospodinu, a při něm dvakrát sto tisíc mužů udatných.
Next was Zicri’s son Amasiah, who volunteered to serve Yahweh in this way; he commanded 200,000 soldiers.
17 Z Beniamina pak muž udatný Eliada, a s ním lidu zbrojného s lučišti a pavézami dvakrát sto tisíc.
From the tribe of Benjamin, Eliada, who was a brave soldier, was the leader of the soldiers; he commanded 200,000 men who had bows [and arrows] and shields.
18 A po něm Jozabad, a s ním sto a osmdesát tisíc způsobných k boji.
Next was Jehozabad, who commanded 180,000 men who had weapons for fighting battles.
19 Ti sloužili králi, kromě těch, kteréž byl osadil král po městech hrazených po všem Judstvu.
Those were the soldiers who served the king [in Jerusalem], in addition to the men whom the king had placed in the other cities in Judah that had walls around them.
