2 Chronicles 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
Na Asa babarima Yehosafat bedii nʼade sɛ ɔhene. Ɔhyɛɛ Yuda den, sɛnea obetumi agyina Israel ɔfow biara ano.
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.
Oduaduaa asraafodɔm wɔ Yuda nkuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no nyinaa mu. Ɔde asraafodɔm kumaa bi kɔɔ Yuda asase so ne Efraim nkurow a nʼagya Asa ako agye no so.
3 And Jehovah was with Jehoshaphat, for he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto the Baals;
Na Awurade ka Yehosafat ho, efisɛ ɔyɛɛ sɛnea nʼagya Asa yɛe wɔ ne mfe a edi kan no mu, na wansom Baal ahoni no.
4 but he sought the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
Ɔhwehwɛɛ nʼagya Nyankopɔn, na odii nʼahyɛde so a wanni Israel ahenni mu nneyɛe no akyi.
5 And Jehovah established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah gave gifts to Jehoshaphat; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
Enti Awurade maa Yehosafat Yudaman so ahenni no timii. Nnipa a wɔwɔ Yuda nyinaa brɛɛ Yehosafat akyɛde, ma ɔyɛɛ ɔdefo, na wɔde nidi maa no.
6 And he took courage in the ways of Jehovah; moreover, he removed the high places and Asherahs out of Judah.
Ofi ne koma nyinaa mu nantew Awurade akwan so. Obubuu abosonsomfo nsɔree so, na ɔsɛee Asera nnua no.
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;
Yehosafat ahenni mfe abiɛsa so no, ɔsomaa ne mpanyimfo ma wɔkɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔ Yuda nkurow nyinaa so. Ne mpanyimfo no ne Ben-Hail, Obadia, Sakaria, Netanel ne Mikaia.
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.
Ɔsomaa Lewifo a wɔn din didi so yi kaa wɔn ho: Semaia, Netania, Sebadia, Asahel, Semiramot, Yehonatan, Adoniya, Tobia ne Tob-Adoniya. Ɔsomaa asɔfo Elisama ne Yehoram nso.
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.
Wɔfaa Awurade mmara a wɔatintim nhoma no de kyinii Yuda nkurow nyinaa so, kyerɛkyerɛɛ nnipa no.
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.
Na afei, ɛmaa Awurade ho suro tɔɔ ahenni a atwa ahyia no nyinaa so, nti obiara amfa ɔko ankɔ Yehosafat so.
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.
Filistifo no bi brɛɛ no akyɛde ne dwetɛ sɛ sonkahiri, na Arabfo brɛɛ no adwennini mpem ason ne ahanson ne mpapo mpem ason ne ahanson.
12 And Jehoshaphat waxed exceeding great; and he built in Judah castles and store-cities.
Ɛmaa Yehosafat tumi mu yɛɛ den, na ɛkɔɔ so yɛɛ den ara ma osisii aban ne nnuan adekoradan wɔ Yuda nkuropɔn nyinaa so.
13 And he had much business in the cities of Judah; and men of war, strong and valiant, in Jerusalem.
Ɔkoraa nneɛma bebree wɔ Yuda nkurow mu, na ɔmaa asraafo a wɔyɛ den tenaa Yerusalem.
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;
Wogyinaa agyanom mmusuakuw so gyee asraafo. Yuda abusua mu, na asraafodɔm no dodow yɛ mpem ahaasa a wɔakyekyɛ wɔn mu akuwakuw apem. Adna na na ɔyɛ wɔn so sahene.
15 and next to him was Johanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;
Onipa a na odi ne so ne Yehohanan a na odi asraafodɔm mpem ahannu aduɔwɔtwe so.
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.
Nea odi hɔ ne Sikri babarima Amasia, a ɔde ne ho bɔɔ afɔre maa Awurade adwuma a na odi asraafodɔm mpem ahannu so sahene.
17 And of Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valour, and with him two hundred thousand, armed with bow and shield;
Benyamin abusua asraafodɔm no, na wɔn dodow yɛ mpem ahannu a wɔwɔ agyan ne nkatabo. Na wɔn sahene ne Eliada, ɔsraani a wadi ako akyɛ.
18 and next to him was Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand ready prepared for war.
Nea odi hɔ ne Yehosabad a otua asraafo mpem ɔha aduɔwɔtwe a wɔada wɔn ho so ama akodi no ano.
19 These were they that waited on the king, besides those that the king had put in the fortified cities throughout Judah.
Eyinom ne asraafodɔm a wɔtenaa Yerusalem som ɔhene, ne wɔn a Yehosafat de wɔn duaduaa nkurow a wɔabɔ ho ban wɔ Yudaman mu no.
