< Chronicles II 17 >

1 And Josaphat his son reigned in his stead, Josaphat strengthened himself against Israel.
Ary Josafata, zanak’ i Asa, no nanjaka nandimby azy, ary nitombo hery hiaro tena tamin’ ny Isiraely izy.
2 And he put garrisons in all the strong cities of Juda, and appointed captains in all the cities of Juda, and in the cities 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 Josaphat, for he walked in the first ways of his father, and did not seek to idols;
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 he sought to the Lord God of his father, and walked in the commandments of his father, and not according to the works of Israel.
fa Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny rainy, kosa no notadiaviny, ary araka ny didiny no nalehany, fa tsy mba araka ny fanaon’ ny Isiraely.
5 And the Lord prospered the kingdom in his hand; and all Juda gave gifts to Josaphat; and he had great wealth and glory.
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 And his heart was exalted in the way of the Lord; and he removed the high places and the groves from the land of Juda.
Ary ny fony nihanatoky tamin’ ny lalan’ i Jehovah, dia noravany tsy ho eo amin’ ny Joda ny fitoerana avo sy ny Aseraha.
7 And in the third year of his reign, he sent his chief men, and his mighty men, Abdias and Zacharias, and Nathanael, and Michaias, to teach in the cities of Juda.
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 [were] the Levites, Samaias, and Nathanias, and Zabdias, and Asiel, and Semiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonias, and Tobias, and Tobadonias, Levites, and with them Elisama and Joram, 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 taught in Juda, and [there was] with them the book of the law of the Lord, and they passed through the cities of Juda, and taught 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 a terror of the Lord was upon all the kingdoms of the land round about Juda, and they made no war against Josaphat.
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 brought to Josaphat gifts, and silver, and presents; and the Arabians brought him seven thousand seven hundred rams.
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 And Josaphat increased in greatness exceedingly, and built in Judea places of abode, and strong cities.
Ary Josafata nihanahery indrindra ka nanao trano fiarovana sy tanàna fitehirizana tany Joda.
13 And he had many works in Judea: and the mighty men of war, [the men] of strength, [were] in Jerusalem.
Ary nanana fananana betsaka tao amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda koa sy miaramila, lehilahy mahery, tany Jerosalema izy.
14 And this [is] their number according to the houses of their fathers; even the captains of thousands in Juda [were], Ednas the chief, and with him mighty men of strength three hundred thousand.
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 And after him, Joanan the captain, and with him two hundred eighty thousand.
ary nanarakaraka azy dia Johanana komandy, ary ny fehiny dia valo alina amby roa hetsy;
16 And after him Amasias the [son] of Zari, who was zealous for the Lord; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of strength.
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 out of Benjamin [there was] a mighty man of strength, even Eliada, and with him two hundred thousand archers and targeteers.
Ary tamin’ ny Benjamina dia Eliada, lehilahy mahery, ary ny fehiny dia lehilahy roa hetsy mitondra tsipìka sy ampinga;
18 And after him Jozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand mighty men of war.
ary nanarakaraka azy dia Jozabada, ary ny fehiny dia valo alina amby iray hetsy efa voaomana hiady.
19 These were the king's servants besides those whom the king put in the strong cities in all Judea.
Ireo no mpitoetra tamin’ ny mpanjaka, afa-tsy izay nampitoerin’ ny mpanjaka tany amin’ ny tanàna mimanda eran’ i Joda rehetra.
