2 Chronicles 17
1 Asa’s son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place, and he strengthened himself against Israel.
Yehooshaafaax ilmi Aasaa iddoo abbaa isaa mootii taʼe; Israaʼelittis ni cime.
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.
Innis magaalaawwan Yihuudaa kanneen jabeeffamanii ijaaraman hunda keessa loltoota ni qubachiise; Yihuudaa fi magaalaawwan Efreem kanneen abbaan isaa Aasaan qabatee ture keessas loltoota magaalaa eegan ni kaaʼe.
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,
Sababii Yehooshaafaax bara dargaggummaa isaa keessa karaa abbaan isaa Daawit jiraachaa ture irra deddeebiʼeef Waaqayyo isa wajjin ture. Inni Baʼaal duukaa hin buune;
4 but he sought the God of his father and walked by His commandments rather than the practices of Israel.
waan Israaʼeloonni hojjetan duukaa buʼuu dhiisee Waaqa abbootii isaa duukaa buʼuudhaan ajaja isaa ni eege.
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.
Waaqayyos harka isaa jalatti mootummaa cimsee ni dhaabe; akka inni qabeenyaa fi ulfina guddaa qabaatuufis Yihuudoonni hundi Yehooshaafaaxiif kennaa fidaa turan.
6 And his heart took delight in the ways of the LORD; furthermore, he removed the high places and Asherah poles from Judah.
Garaan isaas karaa Waaqayyootiif banamaa ture; kana malees iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraatii fi siidaawwan Aasheeraa Yihuudaa keessaa ni balleesse.
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,
Bara mootummaa isaa keessaa waggaa sadaffaatti akka isaan magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessatti barsiisaniif qondaaltota isaa jechuunis Ben-Haayil, Obaadiyaa, Zakkaariyaas, Naatnaaʼelii fi Miikaayaasin ni erge.
8 accompanied by certain Levites—Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah—along with the priests Elishama and Jehoram.
Lewwonni tokko tokko isaan wajjin turan; jarris: Shemaaʼiyaa, Netaaniyaa, Zebaadiyaa, Asaaheel, Shemiiraamoot, Yoonaataan, Adooniyaa, Xoobbiyyahuu fi Xoob-Adooniyaa feʼa. Luboonni immoo Eliishaamaa fi Yehooraam turan.
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.
Isaanis Kitaaba Seera Waaqayyoo fuudhanii deemanii guutummaa Yihuudaa keessatti ni barsiisan; magaalaawwan Yihuudaa hunda keessas deemanii saba ni barsiisan.
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.
Sababii sodaachisni Waaqayyoo mootummoota biyyoota naannoo Yihuudaa jiran irra buʼeef isaan Yehooshaafaax wajjin wal hin lolle.
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.
Filisxeemonni tokko tokko kennaawwanii fi meetii akka gibiraatti fidanii Yehooshaafaaxiif ni kennan; Araboonni immoo bushaayee jechuunis korbeeyyii hoolaa kuma torbaa fi dhibba torbaa fi korbeeyyii reʼee kuma torbaa fi dhibba torba fidaniif.
12 Jehoshaphat grew stronger and stronger, and he built fortresses and store cities in Judah
Yehooshaafaaxis ittuma caalchisee jabaachaa ni deeme; Yihuudaa keessattis daʼannoowwanii fi magaalaawwan miʼa itti kuusan ni ijaare;
13 and kept vast supplies in the cities of Judah. He also had warriors in Jerusalem who were mighty men of valor.
inni mankuusaalee baayʼee magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessaa qaba ture. Loltoota muuxannoo qabanis Yerusaalem keessa turse.
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;
Haalli isaan itti maatii maatiidhaan hiriiranis kana: Yihuudaa keessaa ajajjoota gareewwanii 1,000: Adinaahi ajajjichi loltoota 300,000 wajjin;
15 next to him, Jehohanan the commander, and with him 280,000;
isatti aanee Yehohaanaan ajajjichi loltoota 280,000 wajjin;
16 and next to him, Amasiah son of Zichri, the volunteer for the LORD, and with him 200,000 mighty men of valor.
isatti aanee immoo Amaasiyaa ilma Zikrii kan tajaajila Waaqayyootiif jedhee of kenne loltoota 200,000 wajjin.
17 From Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valor, and with him 200,000 armed with bows and shields;
Gosa Beniyaam keessaa: Eliyaadaan loltuun jabaan sun loltoota xiyyaa fi gaachana qabatan 200,000 wajjin;
18 and next to him, Jehozabad, and with him 180,000 armed for battle.
isatti aanee immoo Yehoozaabaad namoota lolaaf qophaaʼan 180,000 wajjin hiriire.
19 These were the men who served the king, besides those he stationed in the fortified cities throughout Judah.
Isaan kunneen namoota inni magaalaawwan guutummaa Yihuudaa keessatti jabeeffamanii ijaaraman keessa qubachiiseen alatti warra mooticha tajaajilaa turanii dha.
