2 Weche Mag Ndalo 17
1 Jehoshafat wuode nobedo ruoth kare kendo nogurore motegno mondo osir Israel.
And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
2 Noketo jolweny e mier mochiel duto mag Juda kendo nogero kuonde jolweny Juda kaachiel gi miech Efraim mane Asa wuon mare okawo.
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 Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kod Jehoshafat nikech e ndaloge mokwongo nowuotho e yore mane Daudi wuon mare owuothoe. Ne ok oluwo Baal
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 to nomanyo Nyasach wuon mare kendo noluwo chikene kopogore gi kaka jo-Israel ne timo.
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 Jehova Nyasaye noguro lochne motegno kendo jo-Juda duto nokelo mich ni Jehoshafat mi nobedo kod mwandu mangʼeny kod huma maduongʼ.
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 Chunye nomako weche Jehova Nyasaye, to bende nogolo e Juda kuonde motingʼore gi malo mag lemo e Juda kaachiel gi sirni milamo mag Ashera.
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 E higa mar adek mar lochne nooro jotelo mage kaka Ben-Hail, Obadia, Zekaria, Nethanel gi Mikaya mondo opuonj e mier mag Juda.
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 Kaachiel kodgi ne nitie jo-Lawi moko kaka: Shemaya gi Nethania gi Zebadia gi Asahel gi Shemiramoth gi Jehonathan gi Adonija gi Tobija kaachiel gi Tob-Adonija kod jodolo Elishama gi Jehoram.
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 Negipuonjo e piny Juda duto ka gitingʼo Kitap Chik mar Jehova Nyasaye ka gilworore e miech Juda duto kendo ka gipuonjo ji.
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 Luoro mar Jehova Nyasaye nomako pinyruodhi mag pinje molworo Juda, omiyo ne ok gitugo lweny kod Jehoshafat.
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 Jo-Filistia nokelone Jehoshafat mich mopogore opogore to gi fedha; to jo-Arabu nokelone jamni madirom imbe alufu abiriyo gi mia abiriyo kod diek alufu abiriyo gi mia abiriyo.
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 Jehoshafat nomedo bedo gi teko kendo nogero mier mochiel gohinga motegno kod mier mag keno e Juda.
And Jehoshaphat went on becoming exceedingly great, and he built in Judah castles and treasure-cities.
13 Kendo nokano gik moko mangʼeny e miech Juda. Noketo e Jerusalem jolweny man kod lony mangʼeny e lweny.
And he had great works in the cities of Judah, and men of war, mighty in valor, in Jerusalem.
14 Ma e kaka nondikgi kaluwore gi anywolagi: Koa kuom jo-Juda jotend migepe mag jolweny alufu achiel ne en Adna mane otelo ne jolweny maroteke alufu mia adek;
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 maluwe ne en Jehohanan mane jatend jolweny alufu mia ariyo gi piero aboro;
And next to him was Jehochanan the chief, and with him were two hundred and eighty thousand.
16 maluwe ne en Amasia wuod Zikri mane ochiwore kende owuon ne tij Jehova Nyasaye kendo notelo ne ji alufu mia ariyo.
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 Koa e dhood Benjamin ne gin Eliada, jalweny mathuon ka en gi ji alufu mia ariyo motingʼo atungʼ kod okumbni;
And of Benjamin, the mighty valiant Elyada', and with him were those armed with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
18 maluwe ne en Jehozabad mane ni kod ji alufu mia achiel gi piero aboro moikore ne lweny.
And next him was Jehozabad, and with him were one hundred and eighty thousand ready armed for the host.
19 Magi e joge mane tiyo ne ruoth ka ok okwan jolweny mane oketo e mier madongo mochiel motegno gohinga e piny Juda duto.
These were those that ministered to the king, besides those whom the king had placed in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
