< 2 Chronicles 17 >

1 And Josaphat his son reigned in his stead, and grew strong against Israel.
وَمَلَكَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ وَتَشَدَّدَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ.١
2 And he placed numbers of soldiers in all the fortified cities of Juda. And he put garrisons in the land of Juda, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
وَجَعَلَ جَيْشًا فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا ٱلْحَصِينَةِ، وَجَعَلَ وُكَلَاءَ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي مُدُنِ أَفْرَايِمَ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذَهَا آسَا أَبُوهُ.٢
3 And the Lord was with Josaphat, because he walked in the first ways of David his father: and trusted not in Baalim,
وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَ يَهُوشَافَاطَ لِأَنَّهُ سَارَ فِي طُرُقِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ ٱلْأُولَى، وَلَمْ يَطْلُبِ ٱلْبَعْلِيمَ،٣
4 But in the God of his father, and walk in his commandments, and not according to the sins of Israel.
وَلَكِنَّهُ طَلَبَ إِلَهَ أَبِيهِ وَسَارَ فِي وَصَايَاهُ لَا حَسَبَ أَعْمَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.٤
5 And the Lord established the kingdom in his hand, and all Juda brought presents to Josaphat: and he acquired immense riches, and much glory.
فَثَبَّتَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ فِي يَدِهِ، وَقَدَّمَ كُلُّ يَهُوذَا هَدَايَا لِيَهُوشَافَاطَ. وَكَانَ لَهُ غِنًى وَكَرَامَةً بِكَثْرَةٍ.٥
6 And when his heart had taken courage for the ways of the Lord, he took away also the high places and the groves out of Juda.
وَتَقَوَّى قَلْبُهُ فِي طُرُقِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَنَزَعَ أَيْضًا ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ وَٱلسَّوَارِيَ مِنْ يَهُوذَا.٦
7 And in the third year of his reign, he sent of his princes Benhail, and Abdias, and Zacharias, and Nathanael, and Micheas, to teach in the cities of Juda:
وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ لِمُلْكِهِ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى رُؤَسَائِهِ، إِلَى بِنْحَائِلَ وَعُوبَدْيَا وَزَكَرِيَّا وَنَثَنْئِيلَ وَمِيخَايَا أَنْ يُعَلِّمُوا فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا،٧
8 And with them the Levites, Semeias, and Nathanias, and Zabadias, and Asael, and Semiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonias, and Tobias, and Thobadonias Levites, and with them Elisama, and Joram priests.
وَمَعَهُمُ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ شَمْعِيَا وَنَثَنْيَا وَزَبَدْيَا وَعَسَائِيلُ وَشَمِيرَامُوثُ وَيَهُونَاثَانُ وَأَدُونِيَّا وَطُوبِيَّا وَطُوبُ أَدُونِيَّا ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ، وَمَعَهُمْ أَلِيشَمَعُ وَيَهُورَامُ ٱلْكَاهِنَانِ.٨
9 And they taught the people in Juda, having with them the book of the law of the Lord: and they went about all the cities of Juda, and instructed the people.
فَعَلَّمُوا فِي يَهُوذَا وَمَعَهُمْ سِفْرُ شَرِيعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَجَالُوا فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَعَلَّمُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ.٩
10 And the fear of the Lord came upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Juda, and they durst not make war against Josaphat.
وَكَانَتْ هَيْبَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى جَمِيعِ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي حَوْلَ يَهُوذَا فَلَمْ يُحَارِبُوا يَهُوشَافَاطَ.١٠
11 The Philistines also brought presents to Josaphat, and tribute in silver, and the Arabians brought him cattle, seven thousand seven hundred rams, and as many he goats.
وَبَعْضُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ أَتَوْا يَهُوشَافَاطَ بِهَدَايَا وَحِمْلِ فِضَّةٍ، وَٱلْعُرْبَانُ أَيْضًا أَتَوْهُ بِغَنَمٍ: مِنَ ٱلْكِبَاشِ سَبْعَةِ آلَافٍ وَسَبْعِ مِئَةٍ، وَمِنَ ٱلتُّيُوسِ سَبْعَةِ آلَافٍ وَسَبْعِ مِئَةٍ.١١
12 And Josaphat grew, and became exceeding great: and he built in Juda houses like towers, and walled cities.
وَكَانَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ يَتَعَظَّمُ جِدًّا، وَبَنَى فِي يَهُوذَا حُصُونًا وَمُدُنَ مَخَازِنَ.١٢
13 And he prepared many works in the cities of Juda: and he had warriors, and valiant men in Jerusalem.
وَكَانَ لَهُ شُغْلٌ كَثِيرٌ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا، وَرِجَالُ حَرْبٍ جَبَابِرَةُ بَأْسٍ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.١٣
14 Of whom this is the number of the houses and families of every one: in Juda captains of the army, Ednas the chief, and with him three hundred thousand most valiant men.
وَهَذَا عَدَدُهُمْ حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ مِنْ يَهُوذَا رُؤَسَاءِ أُلُوفٍ: عَدَنَةُ ٱلرَّئِيسُ وَمَعَهُ جَبَابِرَةُ بَأْسٍ ثَلَاثُ مِئَةِ أَلْفٍ.١٤
15 After him Johanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand.
وَبِجَانِبِهِ يَهُونَاثَانُ ٱلرَّئِيسُ وَمَعَهُ مِئَتَانِ وَثَمَانُونَ أَلْفًا.١٥
16 And after him was Amasias the son of Zechri, consecrated to the Lord, and with him were two hundred thousand valiant men.
وَبِجَانِبِهِ عَمَسْيَا بْنُ زِكْرِي ٱلْمُنْتَدِبُ لِلرَّبِّ وَمَعَهُ مِئَتَا أَلْفِ جَبَّارِ بَأْسٍ.١٦
17 After him was Eliada valiant in battle, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield.
وَمِنْ بَنْيَامِينَ أَلِيَادَاعُ جَبَّارُ بَأْسٍ وَمَعَهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُتَسَلِّحِينَ بِٱلْقِسِيِّ وَٱلْأَتْرَاسِ مِئَتَا أَلْفٍ.١٧
18 After him also was Jozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand ready for war.
وَبِجَانِبِهِ يَهُوزَابَادُ وَمَعَهُ مِئَةٌ وَثَمَانُونَ أَلْفًا مُتَجَرِّدُونَ لِلْحَرْبِ.١٨
19 All these were at the hand of the king, beside others, whom he had put in the walled cities, in all Juda.
هَؤُلَاءِ خُدَّامُ ٱلْمَلِكِ، فَضْلًا عَنِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَعَلَهُمُ ٱلْمَلِكُ فِي ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلْحَصِينَةِ فِي كُلِّ يَهُوذَا.١٩
