2 Chronicles 17
1 And Josaphat his son reigned in his stead, and grew strong against Israel.
Ary Josafata, zanak’ i Asa, no nanjaka nandimby azy, ary nitombo hery hiaro tena tamin’ ny Isiraely izy.
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.
Ary namponina miaramila tamin’ ny tanàna mimanda rehetra eran’ i Joda izy sady nametraka miaramila tany amin’ ny tany Joda sy tany amin’ izay tanànan’ ny Efraima efa azon’ i Asa rainy.
3 And the Lord was with Josaphat, because he walked in the first ways of David his father: and trusted not in Baalim,
Ary Jehovah nomba an’ i Josafata, satria nandeha tamin’ ny nalehan’ i Davida rainy izy, dia ilay tamin’ ny voalohany, fa tsy mba nitady ireo Bala;
4 But in the God of his father, and walk in his commandments, and not according to the sins of Israel.
fa Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny rainy, kosa no notadiaviny, ary araka ny didiny no nalehany, fa tsy mba araka ny fanaon’ ny Isiraely.
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.
Koa dia nampitoerin’ i Jehovah teo an-tànany ny fanjakana; ary ny Joda rehetra nitondra fanomezana ho an’ i Josafata, ka dia nanana harena sy voninahitra be izy.
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.
Ary ny fony nihanatoky tamin’ ny lalan’ i Jehovah, dia noravany tsy ho eo amin’ ny Joda ny fitoerana avo sy ny Aseraha.
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:
Ary tamin’ ny taona fahatelo nanjakany dia naniraka ny mpanapaka izy, dia Benaila sy Obadia sy Zakaria sy Netanela ary Mikaia, hampianatra tany amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda,
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.
Ary nisy Levita koa niaraka tamin’ ireo, dia Semaia sy Netania sy Zebadia sy Asahela sy Semiramota sy Jonatana sy Adonia sy Tobia ary Tob-adonia, Levita, mbamin’ i Elisama sy Jorama, mpisorona.
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.
Ary nampianatra tany Joda izy ireo, ka nentiny ny bokin’ ny lalàn’ i Jehovah, dia nitety ny tanànan’ ny Joda rehetra izy ka nampianatra teny amin’ ny olona.
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.
Ary ny tahotra an’ i Jehovah nahazo ny fanjakana rehetra tamin’ ny tany manodidina an’ i Joda, ka dia tsy nisy niady tamin’ i Josafata ireo.
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.
Ary ny Filistina sasany nitondra fanomezana sy vola hetra ho an’ i Josafata; ary ny Arabo koa nitondra ondry aman’ osy, dia ondrilahy fiton-jato amby fito arivo sy osilahy fiton-jato amby fito arivo.
12 And Josaphat grew, and became exceeding great: and he built in Juda houses like towers, and walled cities.
Ary Josafata nihanahery indrindra ka nanao trano fiarovana sy tanàna fitehirizana tany Joda.
13 And he prepared many works in the cities of Juda: and he had warriors, and valiant men in Jerusalem.
Ary nanana fananana betsaka tao amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda koa sy miaramila, lehilahy mahery, tany Jerosalema izy.
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.
Ary izao no nandaminana azy araka ny fianakaviany avy: Ny mpifehy arivo tamin’ ny Joda dia Adna komandy, ary ny fehiny dia lehilahy mahery telo hetsy;
15 After him Johanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand.
ary nanarakaraka azy dia Johanana komandy, ary ny fehiny dia valo alina amby roa hetsy;
16 And after him was Amasias the son of Zechri, consecrated to the Lord, and with him were two hundred thousand valiant men.
ary nanarakaraka azy indray dia Amasia, zanak’ i Zikry, ilay nanolotena ho an’ i Jehovah, ary ny fehiny dia lehilahy mahery roa hetsy.
17 After him was Eliada valiant in battle, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield.
Ary tamin’ ny Benjamina dia Eliada, lehilahy mahery, ary ny fehiny dia lehilahy roa hetsy mitondra tsipìka sy ampinga;
18 After him also was Jozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand ready for war.
ary nanarakaraka azy dia Jozabada, ary ny fehiny dia valo alina amby iray hetsy efa voaomana hiady.
19 All these were at the hand of the king, beside others, whom he had put in the walled cities, in all Juda.
Ireo no mpitoetra tamin’ ny mpanjaka, afa-tsy izay nampitoerin’ ny mpanjaka tany amin’ ny tanàna mimanda eran’ i Joda rehetra.
