2 Chronicles 17
1 And Josaphat his son reigned in his stead, and grew strong against Israel.
Jehoshafati mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo uye akazvisimbisa pakurwisana neIsraeri.
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.
Akaisa varwi mumaguta akakomberedzwa namasvingo eJudha aya akaisa mapoka avarwi muJudha nomumaguta eEfuremu akanga atapwa nababa vake Asa.
3 And the Lord was with Josaphat, because he walked in the first ways of David his father: and trusted not in Baalim,
Jehovha vaiva naJehoshafati nokuti pamazuva ake okutonga akafamba munzira dzaiteverwa nababa vake Dhavhidhi. Haana kubvunza kuna vana Bhaari.
4 But in the God of his father, and walk in his commandments, and not according to the sins of Israel.
Asi akatsvaka Mwari wababa vake akatevera kurayira kwake akasatevera mabasa aIsraeri.
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.
Jehovha akasimbisa umambo hwaiva pasi pake; uye Judha yose yakauya nezvipo kuna Jehoshafati, saka akava nepfuma zhinji nokuremekedzwa kukuru.
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.
Mwoyo wake wakanga wakazvipira kunzira dzaJehovha uyezve akabvisa nzvimbo dzakakwirira namatanda aAshera kubva muJudha.
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:
Mugore rechitatu rokutonga kwake akatuma vakuru vavabati vake vaiti Bheni-Hairi, Obhadhia, Zekaria, Netaneri naMikaya kuti vandodzidzisa mumaguta eJudha.
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.
Pamwe chete navo paiva navamwe vaRevhi vaiti: Shemaya, Netania, Zebhadhia, Asaheri, Shemiramoti, Jehonatani, Adhoniya, Tobhiya naTobhi-Adhoniya, uye navaprista Erishama naJehoramu.
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.
Vakadzidzisa Judha yose vaine Bhuku roMurayiro waJehovha; vakatenderera kumaguta ose aJudha vakadzidzisa vanhu.
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.
Kutya Jehovha kwakawira madzimambo enyika dzakanga dzakapoteredza Judha, zvokuti havana kuda kurwa naJehoshafati.
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.
Vamwe vaFiristia vakavigira Jehoshafati zvipo nesirivha somutero, uye vaArabhu vakamuvigira mapoka amakwai aiti: zviuru zvinomwe namazana manomwe amakondobwe nezviuru zvinomwe namazana manomwe embudzi.
12 And Josaphat grew, and became exceeding great: and he built in Juda houses like towers, and walled cities.
Jehoshafati akazova nesimba guru kwazvo; akavaka nhare namaguta amatura muJudha;
13 And he prepared many works in the cities of Juda: and he had warriors, and valiant men in Jerusalem.
uye akaita mabasa mazhinji mumaguta eJudha. Aivawo navarwi vane ruzivo rwokurwa muJerusarema.
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.
Kunyoreswa kwavo nemhuri dzavo kwakanga kwakadai: Kubva kuJudha, vatungamiri vamapoka avarwi chiuru: Adhina mutungamiri aiva navarwi zviuru mazana matatu;
15 After him Johanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand.
aitevera ndiJehohanani mutungamiri aiva navarwi zviuru mazana maviri namakumi masere;
16 And after him was Amasias the son of Zechri, consecrated to the Lord, and with him were two hundred thousand valiant men.
aitevera ndiAmasia mwanakomana waZikiri, uyo akazvipira kushandira Jehovha, aina varwi zviuru mazana maviri.
17 After him was Eliada valiant in battle, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield.
Kubva kuBhenjamini: Eriadha murwi akanga akashinga, aiva murwi aiva navarwi zviuru mazana maviri vakanga vakabata uta nenhoo;
18 After him also was Jozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand ready for war.
aitevera ndiJehozabhadhi navarume zviuru zana namakumi masere vakagadzirira kurwa hondo.
19 All these were at the hand of the king, beside others, whom he had put in the walled cities, in all Juda.
Ava ndivo varume vaibatira mambo, tisingaverengi avo vaakaisa mumaguta ane masvingo muJudha yose.
