1 Jehoshafat wuode nobedo ruoth kare kendo nogurore motegno mondo osir Israel.
Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, 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.
He placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
3 Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kod Jehoshafat nikech e ndaloge mokwongo nowuotho e yore mane Daudi wuon mare owuothoe. Ne ok oluwo Baal
The LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and didn’t seek the Baals,
4 to nomanyo Nyasach wuon mare kendo noluwo chikene kopogore gi kaka jo-Israel ne timo.
but sought the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not in the ways 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 the LORD established the kingdom in his hand. All Judah brought tribute 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.
His heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD. Furthermore, he took away the high places and the Asherah poles 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.
Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah, 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 Levites, even Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, 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.
They taught in Judah, having the book of the LORD’s law with them. They went about throughout all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.
10 Luoro mar Jehova Nyasaye nomako pinyruodhi mag pinje molworo Juda, omiyo ne ok gitugo lweny kod Jehoshafat.
The fear of the LORD fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against 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.
Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents and silver for tribute. The Arabians also brought him flocks: seven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred male goats.
12 Jehoshafat nomedo bedo gi teko kendo nogero mier mochiel gohinga motegno kod mier mag keno e Juda.
Jehoshaphat grew great exceedingly; and he built fortresses and store cities in Judah.
13 Kendo nokano gik moko mangʼeny e miech Juda. Noketo e Jerusalem jolweny man kod lony mangʼeny e lweny.
He had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of 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;
This was the numbering of them according to their fathers’ houses: From Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor;

and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred 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 Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to the LORD, and with him 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;
From Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valor, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
18 maluwe ne en Jehozabad mane ni kod ji alufu mia achiel gi piero aboro moikore ne lweny.
and next to him Jehozabad, and with him one hundred eighty thousand ready and prepared for war.

These were those who waited on the king, in addition to those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
