2 Chronicles 17
1 Then Jehoshaphat, his son, reigned in his place. And he grew strong against Israel.
E reinou em seu lugar Josafá seu filho, o qual prevaleceu contra Israel.
2 And he appointed numbers of soldiers in all the cities of Judah that had been fortified with walls. And he placed garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had seized.
E pôs exército em todas as cidades fortes de Judá, e colocou gente de guarnição, em terra de Judá, e também nas cidades de Efraim que seu pai Asa havia tomado.
3 And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father, David. And he did not trust in the Baals,
E foi o SENHOR com Josafá, porque andou nos primeiros caminhos de Davi seu pai, e não buscou aos baalins;
4 but in the God of his father. And he advanced in his precepts, and not according to the sins of Israel.
mas buscou o Deus de seu pai, e andou em seus mandamentos, e não segundo as obras de Israel.
5 And the Lord confirmed the kingdom in his hand. And all of Judah gave gifts to Jehoshaphat. And innumerable riches were brought to him, and much glory.
Por isso o SENHOR confirmou o reino em sua mão, e todo Judá deu presentes a Josafá; e teve riquezas e glória em abundância.
6 And when his heart had taken courage because of the ways of the Lord, he now also took away the high places and the sacred groves from Judah.
E animou-se seu coração nos caminhos do SENHOR, e tirou os altos e os bosques de Judá.
7 Then, in the third year of his reign, he sent Benhail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, from among his leaders, so that they might teach in the cites of Judah.
Ao terceiro ano de seu reinado enviou seus príncipes Bene-Hail, Obadias, Zacarias, Natanael e Micaías, para que ensinassem nas cidades de Judá;
8 And with them were the Levites Shemaiah and Nethaniah and Zebadiah, and also Asahel and Shemiramoth and Jehonathan, and the Levites Adonijah and Tobijah and Tobadonijah. And with them were the priests Elishama and Jehoram.
E com eles aos levitas, Semaías, Netanias, Zebadias, e Asael, e Semiramote, e Jônatas, e Adonias, e Tobias, e Tobadonias, levitas; e com eles a Elisama e a Jorão, sacerdotes.
9 And they were teaching the people in Judah, having with them the book of the law of the Lord. And they were traveling through all the cities of Judah, and were instructing the people.
E ensinaram em Judá, tendo consigo o livro da lei do SENHOR, e rodearam por todas as cidades de Judá ensinando ao povo.
10 And so, the fear of the Lord fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands which were around Judah. And they did not dare to make war against Jehoshaphat.
E caiu o pavor do SENHOR sobre todos os reinos das terras que estavam ao redor de Judá; que não ousaram fazer guerra contra Josafá.
11 Moreover, the Philistines carried gifts to Jehoshaphat, and a tribute in silver. Also, the Arabians brought cattle: seven thousand seven hundred rams, and the same number of he-goats.
E dos filisteus traziam presentes a Josafá, e tributos de prata. Os árabes também lhe trouxeram gado: sete mil e setecentos carneiros e sete mil e setecentos bodes.
12 Therefore, Jehoshaphat increased and was magnified, even on high. And in Judah, he built houses in the likeness of towers, and walled cities.
Ia pois Josafá crescendo altamente: e edificou em Judá fortalezas e cidades de depósitos.
13 And he prepared many works in the cities of Judah. Also, there were men experienced in warfare in Jerusalem,
Teve ademais muitas obras nas cidades de Judá, e homens de guerra muito valentes em Jerusalém.
14 and this is the number of them, by each of the houses and families. In Judah, the leader of the army was Adnah, the commander; and with him were three hundred thousand very experienced men.
E este é o número deles segundo as casas de seus pais: em Judá, chefes dos milhares: o general Adna, e com ele trezentos mil homens muito esforçados;
15 After him, Jehohanan was the leader; and with him were two hundred eighty thousand.
Depois dele, o chefe Joanã, e com ele duzentos e oitenta mil;
16 Also after him, there was Amasiah, the son of Zichri, who was consecrated to the Lord; and with him were two hundred thousand strong men.
Depois este, Amasias filho de Zicri, o qual se havia oferecido voluntariamente ao SENHOR, e com ele duzentos mil homens valentes;
17 Following him, there was Eliada, who was experienced in battle; and with him were two hundred thousand, holding bow and shield.
De Benjamim, Eliada, homem muito valente, e com ele duzentos mil armados de arco e escudo;
18 Then too, after him, there was Jehozabad; and with him were one hundred eighty thousand lightly-armed soldiers.
Depois este, Jozabade, e com ele cento e oitenta mil preparados para a guerra.
19 All these were at the hand of the king, aside from the others, whom he had positioned in the walled cities, in all of Judah.
Estes eram servos do rei, sem os que havia o rei posto nas cidades de guarnição por toda Judá.
