2 Chronicles 17
1 And Josaphat his son reigned in his stead, and grew strong against Israel.
Jehoshafat nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya, o mere onwe ya ka ọ dị ike imegide Izrel.
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.
O tinyere ụfọdụ ndị agha ya nʼobodo niile dị na Juda e wusiri ike, tinyekwa ụfọdụ nʼobodo ndị ọzọ dị nʼIfrem, na ebe ndị ọzọ niile nke nna ya, Asa meriri nʼagha.
3 And the Lord was with Josaphat, because he walked in the first ways of David his father: and trusted not in Baalim,
Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere Jehoshafat nʼihi na o sooro nzọ ụkwụ nna ya, bụ Devid, onye buuru ya ụzọ chịa. Ọ jụghị ase site nʼaka Baal,
4 But in the God of his father, and walk in his commandments, and not according to the sins of Israel.
kama ọ chọrọ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nna ya, dobekwa iwu ya niile, ọ bụghịkwa dịka omume ndị Izrel si dị.
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.
Nʼihi nke a Onyenwe anyị mere ka ọchịchị ya guzosie ike. Ndị Juda niile tụkwara ụtụ ha dịka o kwesiri wetara Jehoshafat, nke a mere ka o nwee akụnụba ebe ọ dị ukwuu, nwekwa nsọpụrụ.
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.
O ji obi ya niile gbasoo ụzọ Onyenwe anyị. Ọzọkwa, o sitere na Juda wezuga ebe niile dị elu nakwa ogidi Ashera niile.
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:
Nʼafọ nke atọ nke ọchịchị ya, o zipụrụ ndịisi ọchịchị alaeze ya ndị a, Ben-Hail, Ọbadaya, Zekaraya, Netanel na Mikaya ka ha gaa zie ndị mmadụ ihe nʼobodo niile nke Juda.
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.
Ụfọdụ ndị Livayị ndị a sokwa gaa: Shemaya, Netanaya, Zebadaya, Asahel, Shemiramot, Jehonatan, Adonaịja, Tobaija, Tob-Adonaịja na ndị nchụaja ụfọdụ, ndị dị ka Elishama na Jehoram.
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.
Ha ji akwụkwọ iwu Onyenwe anyị, zie ihe na Juda. Ha jere gburugburu obodo niile nke Juda na-ezi ndị mmadụ ihe.
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.
Egwu Onyenwe anyị dakwasịrị alaeze niile dị gburugburu Juda, nʼihi ya, ha ebukwaghị agha megide Jehoshafat.
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.
Ụfọdụ nʼime ndị Filistia wetaara ya onyinye na ọlaọcha kwa afọ nʼụzọ ịkwanyere ya ugwu, ma ndị Arab, wetaara ya igwe anụ ụlọ dị puku ebule asaa na narị asaa, na puku mkpi asaa na narị asaa.
12 And Josaphat grew, and became exceeding great: and he built in Juda houses like towers, and walled cities.
Ya mere, Jehoshafat ghọrọ eze dị ike. O wusiri obodo ndị dị na Juda ike, wukwaa obodo ịchịkọba ihe.
13 And he prepared many works in the cities of Juda: and he had warriors, and valiant men in Jerusalem.
O nwekwara ihe ndị ọ chịkọbara nʼọtụtụ obodo Juda. O debekwara ndị agha ibu agha doro anya nʼime Jerusalem.
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.
Ngụkọta ha dịka e si dekọọ ya nʼezinaụlọ si dị: Ndị si Juda, ndịisi agha na-achị puku ndị agha, Adna, onyeisi agha, na-achị narị puku ndị agha atọ,
15 After him Johanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand.
onye na-eso ya bụ Jehohanan, onyeisi agha, na-achị narị puku ndị agha abụọ na iri puku asatọ,
16 And after him was Amasias the son of Zechri, consecrated to the Lord, and with him were two hundred thousand valiant men.
ọzọ, Amasiya nwa Zikri, onye ji afọ ofufu nye onwe ya maka ọrụ Onyenwe anyị, na-achị narị puku ndị agha abụọ.
17 After him was Eliada valiant in battle, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield.
Ndị si Benjamin, Eliada, dimkpa nʼagha, na-achị narị puku ndị agha abụọ, ndị ji akụ na ụta, na ọta ebu agha.
18 After him also was Jozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand ready for war.
Onye ọzọ bụ Jehozabad, onye na-achị narị puku ndị agha na iri puku asatọ, ndị jikeere ibu agha.
19 All these were at the hand of the king, beside others, whom he had put in the walled cities, in all Juda.
Ndị a bụ ndị ikom na-ejere eze ozi, nʼagụnyeghị ndị ahụ o tinyere ka ha nọdụ nʼobodo niile e wusiri ike dị nʼime Juda.
