2 Chronicles 17
1 And Josaphat his son reigned in his stead, and grew strong against Israel.
Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Józafat in se okrepil zoper Izraela.
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.
Namestil je sile v vsa utrjena Judova mesta in postavil garnizije v Judovi deželi in v Efrájimovih mestih, ki jih je zavzel njegov oče Asá.
3 And the Lord was with Josaphat, because he walked in the first ways of David his father: and trusted not in Baalim,
Gospod je bil z Józafatom, ker je hodil po prvih poteh svojega očeta Davida in ni iskal Báalov,
4 But in the God of his father, and walk in his commandments, and not according to the sins of Israel.
temveč je sledil Gospodu, Bogu svojega očeta in hodil po njegovih zapovedih in ne po Izraelovih ravnanjih.
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.
Zato je Gospod utrdil kraljestvo v njegovi roki. Ves Juda je Józafatu prinesel darila in imel je bogastva, čast in obilje.
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.
Njegovo srce je bilo vzdignjeno na Gospodovih poteh. Poleg tega je iz Juda odstranil visoke kraje in ašere.
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:
Tudi v tretjem letu svojega kraljevanja je poslal k svojim princem, torej k Ben Hajilu, k Obadjáju, k Zeharjáju, k Netanélu in k Mihajáju, da bi učili po Judovih mestih.
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.
Z njimi je poslal Lévijevce, torej Šemajája, Netanjája, Zebadjája, Asaéla, Šemiramóta, Jehonatana, Adoníja, Tobija, Tob Adoníja, Lévijevce in z njimi duhovnika Elišamája in Jehoráma.
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.
Učili so v Judu in s seboj so imeli knjigo Gospodove postave in šli so naokoli po vseh Judovih mestih in učili ljudstvo.
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.
Gospodov strah je padel na vsa kraljestva dežel, ki so bile naokoli Juda, tako da zoper Józafata niso bojevali nobene vojne.
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.
Tudi nekateri izmed Filistejcev so Józafatu prinesli darila in davek srebra. Arabci so mu privedli trope, sedem tisoč sedemsto ovnov in sedem tisoč sedemsto kozlov.
12 And Josaphat grew, and became exceeding great: and he built in Juda houses like towers, and walled cities.
Józafat je postal silno velik in v Judu je zgradil gradove in skladiščna mesta.
13 And he prepared many works in the cities of Juda: and he had warriors, and valiant men in Jerusalem.
Po Judovih mestih je imel mnogo posla. In v Jeruzalemu so bili bojevniki, močni junaški možje.
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.
To so njihova števila glede na hišo njihovih očetov. Iz Juda poveljniki nad tisočimi: vodja Adnáh in z njim tristo tisoč močnih junaških mož.
15 After him Johanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand.
Poleg njega je bil poveljnik Johanán in z njim dvesto osemdeset tisoč.
16 And after him was Amasias the son of Zechri, consecrated to the Lord, and with him were two hundred thousand valiant men.
Poleg njega je bil Zihríjev sin Amasjá, ki se je voljno daroval Gospodu in z njim dvesto tisoč močnih junaških mož.
17 After him was Eliada valiant in battle, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield.
Od Benjamina Eljadá, mogočen hraber mož in z njim dvesto tisoč z lokom in ščitom oboroženih mož.
18 After him also was Jozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand ready for war.
Poleg njega je bil Jozabád in z njim sto osemdeset tisoč pripravljenih za vojno.
19 All these were at the hand of the king, beside others, whom he had put in the walled cities, in all Juda.
Ti so čakali na kralja, poleg tistih, ki jih je kralj namestil v utrjenih mestih po vsem Judu.
