2 Chronicles 17
1 Asa’s son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place, and he strengthened himself against Israel.
| وَخَلَفَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ أَبَاهُ عَلَى الْمُلْكِ. وَجَعَلَ يُعَبِّىءُ قُوَّاتِهِ لِمُحَارَبَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١ |
2 He stationed troops in every fortified city of Judah and put garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.
| وَوَزَّعَ جُيُوشَهُ عَلَى مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا الْحَصِينَةِ، وَأَقَامَ حَامِيَاتٍ فِي سَائِرِ أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي مُدُنِ أَفْرَايِمَ الَّتِي اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا آسَا أَبُوهُ. | ٢ |
3 Now the LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the earlier ways of his father David. He did not seek out the Baals,
| وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ مَعَ يَهُوشَافَاطَ لأَنَّهُ سَارَ فِي طُرُقِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ وَلَمْ يَضِلَّ وَرَاءَ الْبَعْلِيمِ. | ٣ |
4 but he sought the God of his father and walked by His commandments rather than the practices of Israel.
| وَلَكِنَّهُ طَلَبَ إِلَهَ أَبِيهِ وَسَلَكَ حَسَبَ وَصَايَاهُ، وَتَجَنَّبَ أَعْمَالَ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤ |
5 So the LORD established the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah brought him tribute, so that he had an abundance of riches and honor.
| فَثَبَّتَ الرَّبُّ دَعَائِمَ الْمَمْلَكَةِ فِي يَدِهِ، وَقَدَّمَ لَهُ شَعْبُ يَهُوذَا الْهَدَايَا، فَازْدَادَ غِنىً وَكَرَامَةً. | ٥ |
6 And his heart took delight in the ways of the LORD; furthermore, he removed the high places and Asherah poles from Judah.
| وَامْتَلأَ قَلْبُهُ قُوَّةً بِالرَّبِّ فَسَلَكَ فِي طُرُقِهِ، وَاسْتَأْصَلَ أَيْضاً الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ وَتَمَاثِيلَ عَشْتَارُوثَ مِنْ يَهُوذَا. | ٦ |
7 In the third year of his reign, Jehoshaphat sent his officials Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah to teach in the cities of Judah,
| وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ لِحُكْمِهِ طَلَبَ مِنْ قَادَتِهِ: بِنْحَائِلَ وَعُوبَدْيَا وَزَكَرِيَّا وَنَثَنْئِيلَ وَمِيخَايَا أَنْ يَشْرَعُوا فِي التَّعْلِيمِ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا، | ٧ |
8 accompanied by certain Levites—Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah—along with the priests Elishama and Jehoram.
| بِالتَّعَاوُنِ مَعَ اللّاوِيِّينَ: شَمْعِيَا وَنَثَنْيَا وَزَبَدْيَا وَعَسَائِيلَ وَشَمِيرَامُوثَ وَيَهُونَاثَانَ وَأَدُونِيَّا وَطُوبِيَّا وَطُوبَ أَدُونِيَّا، فَضْلاً عَنِ الْكَاهِنَيْنِ أَلِيشَمَعَ وَيَهُورَامَ. | ٨ |
9 They taught throughout Judah, taking with them the Book of the Law of the LORD. They went throughout the towns of Judah and taught the people.
| فَتَجَوَّلُوا فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاءِ يَهُوذَا حَامِلِينَ مَعَهُمْ سِفْرَ شَرِيعَةِ الرَّبِّ لِيُعَلِّمُوا الشَّعْبَ. | ٩ |
10 And the dread of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that surrounded Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.
| وَكَانَتْ هَيْبَةُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى جَمِيعِ مَمَالِكِ الْبُلْدَانِ الْمُجَاوِرَةِ لِيَهُوذَا فَلَمْ يُحَارِبُوا يَهُوشَافَاطَ. | ١٠ |
11 Some Philistines also brought gifts and silver as tribute to Jehoshaphat, and the Arabs brought him 7,700 rams and 7,700 goats from their flocks.
| بَلْ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ حَمَلُوا إِلَى يَهُوشَافَاطَ هَدَايَا وَفِضَّةً كَمَا قَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ الأَعْرَابُ سَبْعَةَ آلافٍ وَسَبْعَ مِئَةِ كَبْشٍ، وَسَبْعَةَ آلافٍ وَسَبْعَ مِئَةِ تَيْسٍ. | ١١ |
12 Jehoshaphat grew stronger and stronger, and he built fortresses and store cities in Judah
| وَعَظُمَ شَأْنُ يَهُوشَافَاطَ وَبَنَى فِي يَهُوذَا حُصُوناً وَمُدُنَ مَخَازِنَ لِلتَّمْوِينِ. | ١٢ |
13 and kept vast supplies in the cities of Judah. He also had warriors in Jerusalem who were mighty men of valor.
| وَتَكَاثَرَتْ أَشْغَالُهُ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا، كَمَا كَانَ لَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ جَيْشٌ قَوِيٌّ مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الأَشِدَّاءِ. | ١٣ |
14 These are their numbers according to the houses of their fathers: From Judah, the commanders of thousands: Adnah the commander, and with him 300,000 mighty men of valor;
| وَهَذَا إِحْصَاءٌ بَعَدَدِهِمْ بِحَسَبِ انْتِمَائِهِمْ لِبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ: مِنْ يَهُوذَا رُؤَسَاءُ الأُلُوفِ: عَدَنَةُ الْقَائِدُ الْعَامُّ لِقُوَّاتِ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا الْبَالِغَةِ ثَلاثَ مِئَةِ أَلْفٍ مِنَ الْمُحَارِبيِنَ الأَشِدَّاءِ. | ١٤ |
15 next to him, Jehohanan the commander, and with him 280,000;
| وَيَتْلُوهُ يَهُونَاثَانُ قَائِداً لِمِئَتَيْنِ وَثَمَانِينَ أَلْفَ جُنْدِيٍّ. | ١٥ |
16 and next to him, Amasiah son of Zichri, the volunteer for the LORD, and with him 200,000 mighty men of valor.
| ثُمَّ الْقَائِدُ عَمَسْيَا بْنُ زِكْرِي الْمُتَطَوِّعُ لِخِدْمَةِ الرَّبِّ، عَلَى رَأْسِ مِئَتَيْ أَلْفِ مُحَارِبٍ جَبَّارٍ. | ١٦ |
17 From Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valor, and with him 200,000 armed with bows and shields;
| وَمِنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ: أَلِيَادَاعُ قَائِدٌ لِمِئَتَيْ أَلْفٍ مِنْ رُمَاةِ السِّهَامِ وَحَمَلَةِ التُّرُوسِ. | ١٧ |
18 and next to him, Jehozabad, and with him 180,000 armed for battle.
| وَيَتْلُوهُ يَهُوزَابَادُ الَّذِي تَوَلَّى قِيَادَةَ مِئَةٍ وَثَمَانِينَ أَلْفاً مِنَ الْجُنُودِ الْمُدَرَّبِينَ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ. | ١٨ |
19 These were the men who served the king, besides those he stationed in the fortified cities throughout Judah.
| هَؤُلاءِ هُمْ قَادَةُ الْمَلِكِ، فَضْلاً عَنِ الَّذِينَ أَقَامَهُمْ فِي الْمُدُنِ الْحَصِينَةِ فِي كُلِّ أَرْجَاءِ يَهُوذَا. | ١٩ |
