2 Chronicles 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his place, and made himself strong against Israel.
Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Józafat in se okrepil zoper Izraela.
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.
Namestil je sile v vsa utrjena Judova mesta in postavil garnizije v Judovi deželi in v Efrájimovih mestih, ki jih je zavzel njegov oče Asá.
3 And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he went in the early ways of his father, not turning to the Baals,
Gospod je bil z Józafatom, ker je hodil po prvih poteh svojega očeta Davida in ni iskal Báalov,
4 But turning to the God of his father and keeping his laws, and not doing as Israel did.
temveč je sledil Gospodu, Bogu svojega očeta in hodil po njegovih zapovedih in ne po Izraelovih ravnanjih.
5 So the Lord made his kingdom strong; and all Judah gave offerings to Jehoshaphat, and he had great wealth and honour.
Zato je Gospod utrdil kraljestvo v njegovi roki. Ves Juda je Józafatu prinesel darila in imel je bogastva, čast in obilje.
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.
Njegovo srce je bilo vzdignjeno na Gospodovih poteh. Poleg tega je iz Juda odstranil visoke kraje in ašere.
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;
Tudi v tretjem letu svojega kraljevanja je poslal k svojim princem, torej k Ben Hajilu, k Obadjáju, k Zeharjáju, k Netanélu in k Mihajáju, da bi učili po Judovih mestih.
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.
Z njimi je poslal Lévijevce, torej Šemajája, Netanjája, Zebadjája, Asaéla, Šemiramóta, Jehonatana, Adoníja, Tobija, Tob Adoníja, Lévijevce in z njimi duhovnika Elišamája in Jehoráma.
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.
Učili so v Judu in s seboj so imeli knjigo Gospodove postave in šli so naokoli po vseh Judovih mestih in učili ljudstvo.
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.
Gospodov strah je padel na vsa kraljestva dežel, ki so bile naokoli Juda, tako da zoper Józafata niso bojevali nobene vojne.
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.
Tudi nekateri izmed Filistejcev so Józafatu prinesli darila in davek srebra. Arabci so mu privedli trope, sedem tisoč sedemsto ovnov in sedem tisoč sedemsto kozlov.
12 Jehoshaphat became greater and greater, and made strong towers and store-towns in Judah.
Józafat je postal silno velik in v Judu je zgradil gradove in skladiščna mesta.
13 He had much property in the towns of Judah; he had forces of armed men, great and strong, in Jerusalem.
Po Judovih mestih je imel mnogo posla. In v Jeruzalemu so bili bojevniki, močni junaški možje.
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;
To so njihova števila glede na hišo njihovih očetov. Iz Juda poveljniki nad tisočimi: vodja Adnáh in z njim tristo tisoč močnih junaških mož.
15 Second to him Jehohanan, the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;
Poleg njega je bil poveljnik Johanán in z njim dvesto osemdeset tisoč.
16 After him Amasiah, the son of Zichri, who freely gave himself to the Lord, and with him two hundred thousand men of war;
Poleg njega je bil Zihríjev sin Amasjá, ki se je voljno daroval Gospodu in z njim dvesto tisoč močnih junaških mož.
17 And the captains of Benjamin: Eliada, a great man of war, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bows and body-covers;
Od Benjamina Eljadá, mogočen hraber mož in z njim dvesto tisoč z lokom in ščitom oboroženih mož.
18 And after him Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand trained for war.
Poleg njega je bil Jozabád in z njim sto osemdeset tisoč pripravljenih za vojno.
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.
Ti so čakali na kralja, poleg tistih, ki jih je kralj namestil v utrjenih mestih po vsem Judu.
