2 Chronicles 17
1 Asa’s son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place, and he strengthened himself against Israel.
Jehoshafat wuode nobedo ruoth kare kendo nogurore motegno mondo osir Israel.
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.
Noketo jolweny e mier mochiel duto mag Juda kendo nogero kuonde jolweny Juda kaachiel gi miech Efraim mane Asa wuon mare okawo.
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,
Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kod Jehoshafat nikech e ndaloge mokwongo nowuotho e yore mane Daudi wuon mare owuothoe. Ne ok oluwo Baal
4 but he sought the God of his father and walked by His commandments rather than the practices of Israel.
to nomanyo Nyasach wuon mare kendo noluwo chikene kopogore gi kaka jo-Israel ne timo.
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.
Jehova Nyasaye noguro lochne motegno kendo jo-Juda duto nokelo mich ni Jehoshafat mi nobedo kod mwandu mangʼeny kod huma maduongʼ.
6 And his heart took delight in the ways of the LORD; furthermore, he removed the high places and Asherah poles from Judah.
Chunye nomako weche Jehova Nyasaye, to bende nogolo e Juda kuonde motingʼore gi malo mag lemo e Juda kaachiel gi sirni milamo mag Ashera.
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,
E higa mar adek mar lochne nooro jotelo mage kaka Ben-Hail, Obadia, Zekaria, Nethanel gi Mikaya mondo opuonj e mier mag Juda.
8 accompanied by certain Levites—Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah—along with the priests Elishama and Jehoram.
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.
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.
Negipuonjo e piny Juda duto ka gitingʼo Kitap Chik mar Jehova Nyasaye ka gilworore e miech Juda duto kendo ka gipuonjo ji.
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.
Luoro mar Jehova Nyasaye nomako pinyruodhi mag pinje molworo Juda, omiyo ne ok gitugo lweny kod Jehoshafat.
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.
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.
12 Jehoshaphat grew stronger and stronger, and he built fortresses and store cities in Judah
Jehoshafat nomedo bedo gi teko kendo nogero mier mochiel gohinga motegno kod mier mag keno e Juda.
13 and kept vast supplies in the cities of Judah. He also had warriors in Jerusalem who were mighty men of valor.
Kendo nokano gik moko mangʼeny e miech Juda. Noketo e Jerusalem jolweny man kod lony mangʼeny e lweny.
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;
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;
15 next to him, Jehohanan the commander, and with him 280,000;
maluwe ne en Jehohanan mane jatend jolweny alufu mia ariyo gi piero aboro;
16 and next to him, Amasiah son of Zichri, the volunteer for the LORD, and with him 200,000 mighty men of valor.
maluwe ne en Amasia wuod Zikri mane ochiwore kende owuon ne tij Jehova Nyasaye kendo notelo ne ji alufu mia ariyo.
17 From Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valor, and with him 200,000 armed with bows and shields;
Koa e dhood Benjamin ne gin Eliada, jalweny mathuon ka en gi ji alufu mia ariyo motingʼo atungʼ kod okumbni;
18 and next to him, Jehozabad, and with him 180,000 armed for battle.
maluwe ne en Jehozabad mane ni kod ji alufu mia achiel gi piero aboro moikore ne lweny.
19 These were the men who served the king, besides those he stationed in the fortified cities throughout Judah.
Magi e joge mane tiyo ne ruoth ka ok okwan jolweny mane oketo e mier madongo mochiel motegno gohinga e piny Juda duto.
