2 Chronicles 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
Onda se na njegovo mjesto zakralji sin mu Jošafat; on pokaza svoju silu protiv Izraela.
2 And he placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim that Asa his father had taken.
Razmjestio je vojsku po svim utvrđenim judejskim gradovima i postavio namjesnike po judejskoj zemlji i po Efrajimovim gradovima, koje bijaše zauzeo otac mu Asa.
3 And Jehovah was with Jehoshaphat, for he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto the Baals;
Jahve je bio s Jošafatom jer je hodio pravim putovima svoga oca Davida i nije tražio baala.
4 but he sought the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
Tražio je Boga svojih otaca i hodio po njegovim zapovijedima, ne čineći kao Izraelovi sinovi.
5 And Jehovah established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah gave gifts to Jehoshaphat; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
Zato je Jahve utvrdio kraljevstvo u njegovoj ruci, pa su svi Judejci davali Jošafatu danak, tako da je stekao veliko bogatstvo i slavu.
6 And he took courage in the ways of Jehovah; moreover, he removed the high places and Asherahs out of Judah.
Njegovo se srce hrabrilo na Jahvinim putovima, pa je uklonio još i uzvišice i ašere iz Judeje.
7 And in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, Ben-hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethaneel, and Micah, to teach in the cities of Judah;
Treće godine kraljevanja posla knezove Ben-Hajila, Obadju, Zahariju, Netanela i Miheja da uče po judejskim gradovima.
8 and with them the Levites: Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-Adonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
I s njima levite: Šemaju, Netaniju, Zebadju, Asahela, Šemiramota, Jonatana, Adoniju, Tobiju i Tob Adoniju; a s njima svećenike Elišamu i Jorama.
9 And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of Jehovah with them; and they went about through all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people.
Poučavali su po Judeji noseći sa sobom Knjigu Zakona Jahvina i obilazili sve judejske gradove učeći narod.
10 And the terror of Jehovah was upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, and they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
Jahvin je strah spopao sva zemaljska kraljevstva oko Judeje, tako da nisu smjela zaratiti na Jošafata.
11 And some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat gifts and tribute-silver. The Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand seven hundred rams, and seven thousand seven hundred he-goats.
Sami su mu neki Filistejci donosili darove i novčani danak, a Arapi mu dogonili sitnu stoku: po sedam tisuća i sedam stotina ovnova te sedam tisuća i sedam stotina jaraca.
12 And Jehoshaphat waxed exceeding great; and he built in Judah castles and store-cities.
Tako je Jošafat sve više napredovao dok ne postade vrlo velik. Sazidao je u Judeji kule i gradove-skladišta.
13 And he had much business in the cities of Judah; and men of war, strong and valiant, in Jerusalem.
Imao je mnogo zaliha u judejskim gradovima, a hrabrih junaka u Jeruzalemu.
14 And these are the numbers of them according to their fathers' houses. Of Judah the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valour;
Evo njihova popisa po obiteljima: od Judina plemena tisućnici: vojvoda Adna i s njim trista tisuća hrabrih junaka;
15 and next to him was Johanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;
do njega vojvoda Johanan i s njim dvjesta i osamdeset tisuća;
16 and next to him, Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to Jehovah; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour.
za njim Zikrijev sin Amasja, koji se spremno stavio u Jahvinu službu, a s njim dvjesta tisuća hrabrih junaka.
17 And of Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valour, and with him two hundred thousand, armed with bow and shield;
Od Benjaminova plemena: hrabri junak Eliada i s njim dvjesta tisuća ljudi naoružanih lukom i štitom;
18 and next to him was Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand ready prepared for war.
za njim Jehozabad i s njim sto i osamdeset tisuća pripravnih za boj.
19 These were they that waited on the king, besides those that the king had put in the fortified cities throughout Judah.
To su oni koji su služili kralju, ne brojeći one što ih je kralj namjestio u tvrdim gradovima po svoj Judeji.
