2 Chronicles 17
1 Asa's son Jehoshaphat took over as king. He strengthened his country's defenses against Israel.
| وَخَلَفَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ أَبَاهُ عَلَى الْمُلْكِ. وَجَعَلَ يُعَبِّىءُ قُوَّاتِهِ لِمُحَارَبَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١ |
2 He assigned troops to every fortified city of Judah and placed garrisons throughout Judah and in the towns of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.
| وَوَزَّعَ جُيُوشَهُ عَلَى مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا الْحَصِينَةِ، وَأَقَامَ حَامِيَاتٍ فِي سَائِرِ أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي مُدُنِ أَفْرَايِمَ الَّتِي اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا آسَا أَبُوهُ. | ٢ |
3 The Lord supported Jehoshaphat because he followed the ways of his father David. He did not believe in the Baals,
| وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ مَعَ يَهُوشَافَاطَ لأَنَّهُ سَارَ فِي طُرُقِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ وَلَمْ يَضِلَّ وَرَاءَ الْبَعْلِيمِ. | ٣ |
4 but worshiped the God of his father and obeyed his commandments, unlike what the kingdom of Israel was doing.
| وَلَكِنَّهُ طَلَبَ إِلَهَ أَبِيهِ وَسَلَكَ حَسَبَ وَصَايَاهُ، وَتَجَنَّبَ أَعْمَالَ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤ |
5 So the Lord made Jehoshaphat's hold on the kingdom secure, and all the people of Judah paid their dues to him. As a result he became very wealthy and highly honored.
| فَثَبَّتَ الرَّبُّ دَعَائِمَ الْمَمْلَكَةِ فِي يَدِهِ، وَقَدَّمَ لَهُ شَعْبُ يَهُوذَا الْهَدَايَا، فَازْدَادَ غِنىً وَكَرَامَةً. | ٥ |
6 He was sincerely committed to what the Lord wanted. He also he removed the high places and Asherah poles from Judah.
| وَامْتَلأَ قَلْبُهُ قُوَّةً بِالرَّبِّ فَسَلَكَ فِي طُرُقِهِ، وَاسْتَأْصَلَ أَيْضاً الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ وَتَمَاثِيلَ عَشْتَارُوثَ مِنْ يَهُوذَا. | ٦ |
7 In the third year of his reign, Jehoshaphat sent his officials Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah to teach in the towns of Judah.
| وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ لِحُكْمِهِ طَلَبَ مِنْ قَادَتِهِ: بِنْحَائِلَ وَعُوبَدْيَا وَزَكَرِيَّا وَنَثَنْئِيلَ وَمِيخَايَا أَنْ يَشْرَعُوا فِي التَّعْلِيمِ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا، | ٧ |
8 He sent along with the them Levites named Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, and with them the priests Elishama and Jehoram.
| بِالتَّعَاوُنِ مَعَ اللّاوِيِّينَ: شَمْعِيَا وَنَثَنْيَا وَزَبَدْيَا وَعَسَائِيلَ وَشَمِيرَامُوثَ وَيَهُونَاثَانَ وَأَدُونِيَّا وَطُوبِيَّا وَطُوبَ أَدُونِيَّا، فَضْلاً عَنِ الْكَاهِنَيْنِ أَلِيشَمَعَ وَيَهُورَامَ. | ٨ |
9 Taking with them the Book of the Law of the Lord they taught as they went around Judah. They visited all the towns of Judah, teaching the people.
| فَتَجَوَّلُوا فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاءِ يَهُوذَا حَامِلِينَ مَعَهُمْ سِفْرَ شَرِيعَةِ الرَّبِّ لِيُعَلِّمُوا الشَّعْبَ. | ٩ |
10 All the surrounding kingdoms were in awe of the Lord, so that they did not attack Jehoshaphat.
| وَكَانَتْ هَيْبَةُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى جَمِيعِ مَمَالِكِ الْبُلْدَانِ الْمُجَاوِرَةِ لِيَهُوذَا فَلَمْ يُحَارِبُوا يَهُوشَافَاطَ. | ١٠ |
11 Some of the Philistines even brought him gifts and silver, while the Arabians brought him 7,700 rams and 7,700 goats.
| بَلْ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ حَمَلُوا إِلَى يَهُوشَافَاطَ هَدَايَا وَفِضَّةً كَمَا قَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ الأَعْرَابُ سَبْعَةَ آلافٍ وَسَبْعَ مِئَةِ كَبْشٍ، وَسَبْعَةَ آلافٍ وَسَبْعَ مِئَةِ تَيْسٍ. | ١١ |
12 Jehoshaphat grew increasingly powerful, and he built fortresses and storehouse towns in Judah.
| وَعَظُمَ شَأْنُ يَهُوشَافَاطَ وَبَنَى فِي يَهُوذَا حُصُوناً وَمُدُنَ مَخَازِنَ لِلتَّمْوِينِ. | ١٢ |
13 He maintained a great deal of supplies in the towns of Judah. He also had troops, experienced warriors, in Jerusalem.
| وَتَكَاثَرَتْ أَشْغَالُهُ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا، كَمَا كَانَ لَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ جَيْشٌ قَوِيٌّ مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الأَشِدَّاءِ. | ١٣ |
14 This is a count of them, according to their family lines: from Judah, the commanders of thousands: Adnah the commander, and 300,000 mighty warriors with him;
| وَهَذَا إِحْصَاءٌ بَعَدَدِهِمْ بِحَسَبِ انْتِمَائِهِمْ لِبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ: مِنْ يَهُوذَا رُؤَسَاءُ الأُلُوفِ: عَدَنَةُ الْقَائِدُ الْعَامُّ لِقُوَّاتِ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا الْبَالِغَةِ ثَلاثَ مِئَةِ أَلْفٍ مِنَ الْمُحَارِبيِنَ الأَشِدَّاءِ. | ١٤ |
15 then Jehohanan the commander, and 280,000 with him;
| وَيَتْلُوهُ يَهُونَاثَانُ قَائِداً لِمِئَتَيْنِ وَثَمَانِينَ أَلْفَ جُنْدِيٍّ. | ١٥ |
16 then Amasiah, son of Zichri, who volunteered to serve the Lord, and 200,000 mighty warriors with him;
| ثُمَّ الْقَائِدُ عَمَسْيَا بْنُ زِكْرِي الْمُتَطَوِّعُ لِخِدْمَةِ الرَّبِّ، عَلَى رَأْسِ مِئَتَيْ أَلْفِ مُحَارِبٍ جَبَّارٍ. | ١٦ |
17 from Benjamin, Eliada, a mighty warrior, and 200,000 with him armed with bows and shields;
| وَمِنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ: أَلِيَادَاعُ قَائِدٌ لِمِئَتَيْ أَلْفٍ مِنْ رُمَاةِ السِّهَامِ وَحَمَلَةِ التُّرُوسِ. | ١٧ |
18 then Jehozabad, and 180,000 with him ready for battle;
| وَيَتْلُوهُ يَهُوزَابَادُ الَّذِي تَوَلَّى قِيَادَةَ مِئَةٍ وَثَمَانِينَ أَلْفاً مِنَ الْجُنُودِ الْمُدَرَّبِينَ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ. | ١٨ |
19 These were the men who served the king, in addition those he assigned to the fortified towns throughout Judah.
| هَؤُلاءِ هُمْ قَادَةُ الْمَلِكِ، فَضْلاً عَنِ الَّذِينَ أَقَامَهُمْ فِي الْمُدُنِ الْحَصِينَةِ فِي كُلِّ أَرْجَاءِ يَهُوذَا. | ١٩ |
