2 Chronicles 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his place, and made himself strong against Israel.
Jehoshafat nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya, o mere onwe ya ka ọ dị ike imegide Izrel.
2 He put forces in all the walled towns of Judah, and responsible chiefs in the land of Judah and in the towns of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
O tinyere ụfọdụ ndị agha ya nʼobodo niile dị na Juda e wusiri ike, tinyekwa ụfọdụ nʼobodo ndị ọzọ dị nʼIfrem, na ebe ndị ọzọ niile nke nna ya, Asa meriri nʼagha.
3 And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he went in the early ways of his father, not turning to the Baals,
Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere Jehoshafat nʼihi na o sooro nzọ ụkwụ nna ya, bụ Devid, onye buuru ya ụzọ chịa. Ọ jụghị ase site nʼaka Baal,
4 But turning to the God of his father and keeping his laws, and not doing as Israel did.
kama ọ chọrọ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nna ya, dobekwa iwu ya niile, ọ bụghịkwa dịka omume ndị Izrel si dị.
5 So the Lord made his kingdom strong; and all Judah gave offerings to Jehoshaphat, and he had great wealth and honour.
Nʼihi nke a Onyenwe anyị mere ka ọchịchị ya guzosie ike. Ndị Juda niile tụkwara ụtụ ha dịka o kwesiri wetara Jehoshafat, nke a mere ka o nwee akụnụba ebe ọ dị ukwuu, nwekwa nsọpụrụ.
6 His heart was lifted up in the ways of the Lord; and he went so far as to take away the high places and the wood pillars out of Judah.
O ji obi ya niile gbasoo ụzọ Onyenwe anyị. Ọzọkwa, o sitere na Juda wezuga ebe niile dị elu nakwa ogidi Ashera niile.
7 In the third year of his rule he sent Benhail and Obadiah and Zechariah and Nethanel and Micaiah, his captains, as teachers into the towns of Judah;
Nʼafọ nke atọ nke ọchịchị ya, o zipụrụ ndịisi ọchịchị alaeze ya ndị a, Ben-Hail, Ọbadaya, Zekaraya, Netanel na Mikaya ka ha gaa zie ndị mmadụ ihe nʼobodo niile nke Juda.
8 And with them, Shemaiah and Nethaniah and Zebadiah and Asahel and Shemiramoth and Jehonathan and Adonijah and Tobijah and Tob-adonijah, the Levites; and Elishama and Jehoram the priests.
Ụfọdụ ndị Livayị ndị a sokwa gaa: Shemaya, Netanaya, Zebadaya, Asahel, Shemiramot, Jehonatan, Adonaịja, Tobaija, Tob-Adonaịja na ndị nchụaja ụfọdụ, ndị dị ka Elishama na Jehoram.
9 And they gave teaching in Judah and had the book of the law of the Lord with them; they went through all the towns of Judah teaching the people.
Ha ji akwụkwọ iwu Onyenwe anyị, zie ihe na Juda. Ha jere gburugburu obodo niile nke Juda na-ezi ndị mmadụ ihe.
10 And the fear of the Lord was on all the kingdoms of the lands round Judah, so that they made no wars against Jehoshaphat.
Egwu Onyenwe anyị dakwasịrị alaeze niile dị gburugburu Juda, nʼihi ya, ha ebukwaghị agha megide Jehoshafat.
11 And some of the Philistines took offerings to Jehoshaphat, and made him payments of silver; and the Arabians gave him flocks, seven thousand, seven hundred sheep, and seven thousand, seven hundred he-goats.
Ụfọdụ nʼime ndị Filistia wetaara ya onyinye na ọlaọcha kwa afọ nʼụzọ ịkwanyere ya ugwu, ma ndị Arab, wetaara ya igwe anụ ụlọ dị puku ebule asaa na narị asaa, na puku mkpi asaa na narị asaa.
12 Jehoshaphat became greater and greater, and made strong towers and store-towns in Judah.
Ya mere, Jehoshafat ghọrọ eze dị ike. O wusiri obodo ndị dị na Juda ike, wukwaa obodo ịchịkọba ihe.
13 He had much property in the towns of Judah; he had forces of armed men, great and strong, in Jerusalem.
O nwekwara ihe ndị ọ chịkọbara nʼọtụtụ obodo Juda. O debekwara ndị agha ibu agha doro anya nʼime Jerusalem.
14 This is the number of them, listed by their families, the captains of thousands of Judah: Adnah, the captain, and with him three hundred thousand men of war;
Ngụkọta ha dịka e si dekọọ ya nʼezinaụlọ si dị: Ndị si Juda, ndịisi agha na-achị puku ndị agha, Adna, onyeisi agha, na-achị narị puku ndị agha atọ,
15 Second to him Jehohanan, the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;
onye na-eso ya bụ Jehohanan, onyeisi agha, na-achị narị puku ndị agha abụọ na iri puku asatọ,
16 After him Amasiah, the son of Zichri, who freely gave himself to the Lord, and with him two hundred thousand men of war;
ọzọ, Amasiya nwa Zikri, onye ji afọ ofufu nye onwe ya maka ọrụ Onyenwe anyị, na-achị narị puku ndị agha abụọ.
17 And the captains of Benjamin: Eliada, a great man of war, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bows and body-covers;
Ndị si Benjamin, Eliada, dimkpa nʼagha, na-achị narị puku ndị agha abụọ, ndị ji akụ na ụta, na ọta ebu agha.
18 And after him Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand trained for war.
Onye ọzọ bụ Jehozabad, onye na-achị narị puku ndị agha na iri puku asatọ, ndị jikeere ibu agha.
19 These were the men who were waiting on the king, in addition to those placed by the king in the walled towns through all Judah.
Ndị a bụ ndị ikom na-ejere eze ozi, nʼagụnyeghị ndị ahụ o tinyere ka ha nọdụ nʼobodo niile e wusiri ike dị nʼime Juda.
