2 Chronicles 17
1 Asa's son Jehoshaphat took over as king. He strengthened his country's defenses against Israel.
Yehooshaafaax ilmi Aasaa iddoo abbaa isaa mootii taʼe; Israaʼelittis ni cime.
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.
Innis magaalaawwan Yihuudaa kanneen jabeeffamanii ijaaraman hunda keessa loltoota ni qubachiise; Yihuudaa fi magaalaawwan Efreem kanneen abbaan isaa Aasaan qabatee ture keessas loltoota magaalaa eegan ni kaaʼe.
3 The Lord supported Jehoshaphat because he followed the ways of his father David. He did not believe in the Baals,
Sababii Yehooshaafaax bara dargaggummaa isaa keessa karaa abbaan isaa Daawit jiraachaa ture irra deddeebiʼeef Waaqayyo isa wajjin ture. Inni Baʼaal duukaa hin buune;
4 but worshiped the God of his father and obeyed his commandments, unlike what the kingdom of Israel was doing.
waan Israaʼeloonni hojjetan duukaa buʼuu dhiisee Waaqa abbootii isaa duukaa buʼuudhaan ajaja isaa ni eege.
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.
Waaqayyos harka isaa jalatti mootummaa cimsee ni dhaabe; akka inni qabeenyaa fi ulfina guddaa qabaatuufis Yihuudoonni hundi Yehooshaafaaxiif kennaa fidaa turan.
6 He was sincerely committed to what the Lord wanted. He also he removed the high places and Asherah poles from Judah.
Garaan isaas karaa Waaqayyootiif banamaa ture; kana malees iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraatii fi siidaawwan Aasheeraa Yihuudaa keessaa ni balleesse.
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.
Bara mootummaa isaa keessaa waggaa sadaffaatti akka isaan magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessatti barsiisaniif qondaaltota isaa jechuunis Ben-Haayil, Obaadiyaa, Zakkaariyaas, Naatnaaʼelii fi Miikaayaasin ni erge.
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.
Lewwonni tokko tokko isaan wajjin turan; jarris: Shemaaʼiyaa, Netaaniyaa, Zebaadiyaa, Asaaheel, Shemiiraamoot, Yoonaataan, Adooniyaa, Xoobbiyyahuu fi Xoob-Adooniyaa feʼa. Luboonni immoo Eliishaamaa fi Yehooraam turan.
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.
Isaanis Kitaaba Seera Waaqayyoo fuudhanii deemanii guutummaa Yihuudaa keessatti ni barsiisan; magaalaawwan Yihuudaa hunda keessas deemanii saba ni barsiisan.
10 All the surrounding kingdoms were in awe of the Lord, so that they did not attack Jehoshaphat.
Sababii sodaachisni Waaqayyoo mootummoota biyyoota naannoo Yihuudaa jiran irra buʼeef isaan Yehooshaafaax wajjin wal hin lolle.
11 Some of the Philistines even brought him gifts and silver, while the Arabians brought him 7,700 rams and 7,700 goats.
Filisxeemonni tokko tokko kennaawwanii fi meetii akka gibiraatti fidanii Yehooshaafaaxiif ni kennan; Araboonni immoo bushaayee jechuunis korbeeyyii hoolaa kuma torbaa fi dhibba torbaa fi korbeeyyii reʼee kuma torbaa fi dhibba torba fidaniif.
12 Jehoshaphat grew increasingly powerful, and he built fortresses and storehouse towns in Judah.
Yehooshaafaaxis ittuma caalchisee jabaachaa ni deeme; Yihuudaa keessattis daʼannoowwanii fi magaalaawwan miʼa itti kuusan ni ijaare;
13 He maintained a great deal of supplies in the towns of Judah. He also had troops, experienced warriors, in Jerusalem.
inni mankuusaalee baayʼee magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessaa qaba ture. Loltoota muuxannoo qabanis Yerusaalem keessa turse.
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;
Haalli isaan itti maatii maatiidhaan hiriiranis kana: Yihuudaa keessaa ajajjoota gareewwanii 1,000: Adinaahi ajajjichi loltoota 300,000 wajjin;
15 then Jehohanan the commander, and 280,000 with him;
isatti aanee Yehohaanaan ajajjichi loltoota 280,000 wajjin;
16 then Amasiah, son of Zichri, who volunteered to serve the Lord, and 200,000 mighty warriors with him;
isatti aanee immoo Amaasiyaa ilma Zikrii kan tajaajila Waaqayyootiif jedhee of kenne loltoota 200,000 wajjin.
17 from Benjamin, Eliada, a mighty warrior, and 200,000 with him armed with bows and shields;
Gosa Beniyaam keessaa: Eliyaadaan loltuun jabaan sun loltoota xiyyaa fi gaachana qabatan 200,000 wajjin;
18 then Jehozabad, and 180,000 with him ready for battle;
isatti aanee immoo Yehoozaabaad namoota lolaaf qophaaʼan 180,000 wajjin hiriire.
19 These were the men who served the king, in addition those he assigned to the fortified towns throughout Judah.
Isaan kunneen namoota inni magaalaawwan guutummaa Yihuudaa keessatti jabeeffamanii ijaaraman keessa qubachiiseen alatti warra mooticha tajaajilaa turanii dha.
