< 2 Chronicles 17 >

1 And Josaphat his son reigned in his stead, and grew strong against Israel.
Josaphat, fis li a te devni wa nan plas li, e li te fè pozisyon li sou Israël byen fèm.
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.
Li te mete sòlda nan tout vil fòtifye Juda yo, e li te fè ganizon militè nan peyi Juda avèk nan vil Éphraïm ke papa li, Asa te kaptire yo.
3 And the Lord was with Josaphat, because he walked in the first ways of David his father: and trusted not in Baalim,
SENYÈ a te avèk Josaphat akoz li te swiv egzanp a zansèt li a, David, nan premye jou li yo, e li pa t chache Baal yo,
4 But in the God of his father, and walk in his commandments, and not according to the sins of Israel.
men li te chache Bondye a zansèt li yo. Li te swiv kòmandman li yo, e li pa t aji jan Israël te fè a.
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.
Pou sa, SENYÈ a te etabli wayòm nan sou kontwòl li, tout Juda te pote pèyman bay Josaphat e li te vin gen gwo richès avèk lonè.
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.
Li te fyè nan chemen SENYÈ a, e ankò li te rache wo plas yo avèk Asherim yo soti nan Juda.
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:
Konsa, nan twazyèm ane règn li a, li te voye reprezantan li yo, chèf Ben-Haïl yo, Abdias, Zacharie, Nethaneel, avèk Michée pou enstwi nan vil a Juda yo;
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.
epi avèk yo Levit yo, Schemaeja, Nethania, Zebadia, Adonija, Tobija ak Tob-Adonija; epi avèk yo, prèt yo, Élischama avèk Joram.
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.
Yo te enstwi Juda avèk liv lalwa SENYÈ a ke yo te genyen avèk yo. Konsa, yo te ale toupatou nan tout vil Juda yo pou te enstwi pami pèp la.
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.
Alò, lakrent SENYÈ a te sou tout wayòm ki te antoure Juda yo, jiskaske yo pa t fè lagè kont Josaphat.
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.
Kèk nan Filisten yo te pote kado avèk lò kòm pèyman bay Josaphat. Arabyen yo tou te pote bann bèt ba li, sèt-mil-sèt-san belye ak sèt-mil-sèt-san mal kabrit.
12 And Josaphat grew, and became exceeding great: and he built in Juda houses like towers, and walled cities.
Josaphat te vin grandi de plizanplis e li te bati fò avèk vil depo nan Juda.
13 And he prepared many works in the cities of Juda: and he had warriors, and valiant men in Jerusalem.
Li te gen anpil depo nan vil a Juda yo ak gèrye yo, mesye ki plen kouraj Jérusalem yo.
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.
Men kontwòl selon lakay a papa zansèt yo: nan Juda, chèf a dè milye yo, Adna, chèf la avèk twa-san-mil mesye plen kouraj;
15 After him Johanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand.
epi akote li, Jochanan, chèf la, avèk de-san-katre-ven-mil mesye plen kouraj;
16 And after him was Amasias the son of Zechri, consecrated to the Lord, and with him were two hundred thousand valiant men.
epi akote li, Amasia, fis a Zicri a, ki te konsakre volontèman a SENYÈ a, avèk de-san-mil mesye plen kouraj.
17 After him was Eliada valiant in battle, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield.
Pou Benjamin: Éliada, yon nonm plen kouraj, avèk de-san-mil mesye lame avèk banza ak boukliye defans,
18 After him also was Jozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand ready for war.
epi akote li, Zozobad, avèk san-katreven-mil mesye pou fè lagè.
19 All these were at the hand of the king, beside others, whom he had put in the walled cities, in all Juda.
Se te sila ki te nan sèvis wa yo, yo pa menm konte sila ke wa a te pozisyone nan tout vil fòtifye pami tout Juda yo.
