2 Chronicles 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his place, and made himself strong against Israel.
Ary Josafata, zanak’ i Asa, no nanjaka nandimby azy, ary nitombo hery hiaro tena tamin’ ny Isiraely izy.
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.
Ary namponina miaramila tamin’ ny tanàna mimanda rehetra eran’ i Joda izy sady nametraka miaramila tany amin’ ny tany Joda sy tany amin’ izay tanànan’ ny Efraima efa azon’ i Asa rainy.
3 And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he went in the early ways of his father, not turning to the Baals,
Ary Jehovah nomba an’ i Josafata, satria nandeha tamin’ ny nalehan’ i Davida rainy izy, dia ilay tamin’ ny voalohany, fa tsy mba nitady ireo Bala;
4 But turning to the God of his father and keeping his laws, and not doing as Israel did.
fa Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny rainy, kosa no notadiaviny, ary araka ny didiny no nalehany, fa tsy mba araka ny fanaon’ ny Isiraely.
5 So the Lord made his kingdom strong; and all Judah gave offerings to Jehoshaphat, and he had great wealth and honour.
Koa dia nampitoerin’ i Jehovah teo an-tànany ny fanjakana; ary ny Joda rehetra nitondra fanomezana ho an’ i Josafata, ka dia nanana harena sy voninahitra be izy.
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.
Ary ny fony nihanatoky tamin’ ny lalan’ i Jehovah, dia noravany tsy ho eo amin’ ny Joda ny fitoerana avo sy ny Aseraha.
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;
Ary tamin’ ny taona fahatelo nanjakany dia naniraka ny mpanapaka izy, dia Benaila sy Obadia sy Zakaria sy Netanela ary Mikaia, hampianatra tany amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda,
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.
Ary nisy Levita koa niaraka tamin’ ireo, dia Semaia sy Netania sy Zebadia sy Asahela sy Semiramota sy Jonatana sy Adonia sy Tobia ary Tob-adonia, Levita, mbamin’ i Elisama sy Jorama, mpisorona.
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.
Ary nampianatra tany Joda izy ireo, ka nentiny ny bokin’ ny lalàn’ i Jehovah, dia nitety ny tanànan’ ny Joda rehetra izy ka nampianatra teny amin’ ny olona.
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.
Ary ny tahotra an’ i Jehovah nahazo ny fanjakana rehetra tamin’ ny tany manodidina an’ i Joda, ka dia tsy nisy niady tamin’ i Josafata ireo.
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.
Ary ny Filistina sasany nitondra fanomezana sy vola hetra ho an’ i Josafata; ary ny Arabo koa nitondra ondry aman’ osy, dia ondrilahy fiton-jato amby fito arivo sy osilahy fiton-jato amby fito arivo.
12 Jehoshaphat became greater and greater, and made strong towers and store-towns in Judah.
Ary Josafata nihanahery indrindra ka nanao trano fiarovana sy tanàna fitehirizana tany Joda.
13 He had much property in the towns of Judah; he had forces of armed men, great and strong, in Jerusalem.
Ary nanana fananana betsaka tao amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda koa sy miaramila, lehilahy mahery, tany Jerosalema izy.
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;
Ary izao no nandaminana azy araka ny fianakaviany avy: Ny mpifehy arivo tamin’ ny Joda dia Adna komandy, ary ny fehiny dia lehilahy mahery telo hetsy;
15 Second to him Jehohanan, the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;
ary nanarakaraka azy dia Johanana komandy, ary ny fehiny dia valo alina amby roa hetsy;
16 After him Amasiah, the son of Zichri, who freely gave himself to the Lord, and with him two hundred thousand men of war;
ary nanarakaraka azy indray dia Amasia, zanak’ i Zikry, ilay nanolotena ho an’ i Jehovah, ary ny fehiny dia lehilahy mahery roa hetsy.
17 And the captains of Benjamin: Eliada, a great man of war, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bows and body-covers;
Ary tamin’ ny Benjamina dia Eliada, lehilahy mahery, ary ny fehiny dia lehilahy roa hetsy mitondra tsipìka sy ampinga;
18 And after him Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand trained for war.
ary nanarakaraka azy dia Jozabada, ary ny fehiny dia valo alina amby iray hetsy efa voaomana hiady.
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.
Ireo no mpitoetra tamin’ ny mpanjaka, afa-tsy izay nampitoerin’ ny mpanjaka tany amin’ ny tanàna mimanda eran’ i Joda rehetra.
