2 Chronicles 17
1 Asa's son Jehoshaphat took over as king. He strengthened his country's defenses against Israel.
Jehoṣafati ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀ ó sì mú ara rẹ̀ lágbára sí lórí Israẹli.
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.
Ó sì fi ogun sínú gbogbo ìlú olódi Juda ó sì kó ẹgbẹ́ ológun ní Juda àti nínú ìlú Efraimu tí Asa baba rẹ̀ ti gbà.
3 The Lord supported Jehoshaphat because he followed the ways of his father David. He did not believe in the Baals,
Olúwa sì wà pẹ̀lú Jehoṣafati nítorí, ní ọdún àkọ́kọ́ rẹ̀, ó rìn ní ọ̀nà ti baba rẹ̀ Dafidi ti rìn, kò sì fi ọ̀ràn lọ Baali.
4 but worshiped the God of his father and obeyed his commandments, unlike what the kingdom of Israel was doing.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó wá Ọlọ́run baba rẹ̀ kiri ó sì tẹ̀lé àṣẹ rẹ̀ ju iṣẹ́ Israẹli.
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.
Olúwa sì fi ìjọba rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ lábẹ́ àkóso rẹ̀, gbogbo Juda sì mú ẹ̀bùn wá fún Jehoṣafati, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì ní ọrọ̀ àti ọlá lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀.
6 He was sincerely committed to what the Lord wanted. He also he removed the high places and Asherah poles from Judah.
Ọkàn rẹ̀ sì gbé sókè si ọ̀nà Olúwa, pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú, ó sì mú ibi gíga wọn àti ère òrìṣà Aṣerah kúrò ní Juda.
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.
Ní ọdún kẹta ìjọba rẹ̀, ó rán àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ Bene-Haili, Obadiah, Sekariah, Netaneli, Mikaiah láti máa kọ́ ni nínú ìlú Juda.
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.
Wọ́n sì ní díẹ̀ lára àwọn ọmọ Lefi, àní Ṣemaiah, Netaniah, Sebadiah, Asaheli, Ṣemiramotu, Jehonatani, Adonijah, Tobijah àti Tobu-Adonijah àti àwọn àlùfáà Eliṣama àti Jehoramu.
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.
Wọ́n ń kọ́ ni ní agbègbè Juda, wọ́n mú ìwé òfin Olúwa wọ́n sì rìn yíká gbogbo àwọn ìlú Juda wọ́n sì ń kọ́ àwọn ènìyàn.
10 All the surrounding kingdoms were in awe of the Lord, so that they did not attack Jehoshaphat.
Ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa bà lórí gbogbo ìjọba ilẹ̀ tí ó yí Juda ká, dé bi pé wọn kò bá Jehoṣafati jagun.
11 Some of the Philistines even brought him gifts and silver, while the Arabians brought him 7,700 rams and 7,700 goats.
Lára àwọn ará Filistini, mú ẹ̀bùn fàdákà gẹ́gẹ́ bí owó ọba wá fún Jehoṣafati, àwọn ará Arabia sì mú ọ̀wọ́ ẹran wá fún un, ẹgbàarindín ní ọ̀ọ́dúnrún àgbò àti ẹgbàarindín ní ọ̀ọ́dúnrún òbúkọ.
12 Jehoshaphat grew increasingly powerful, and he built fortresses and storehouse towns in Judah.
Jehoṣafati sì ń di alágbára nínú agbára sí i, ó sì kọ́ ilé olódi àti ilé ìṣúra púpọ̀ ní Juda
13 He maintained a great deal of supplies in the towns of Judah. He also had troops, experienced warriors, in Jerusalem.
Ó sì ní ìṣúra ní ìlú Juda. Ó sì tún ní àwọn alágbára jagunjagun akọni ọkùnrin ní Jerusalẹmu.
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;
Iye wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ilé baba wọn nìwọ̀nyí. Láti Juda, àwọn olórí ìpín kan ti ẹgbẹ̀rún: Adina olórí, pẹ̀lú ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún alágbára akọni ọkùnrin.
15 then Jehohanan the commander, and 280,000 with him;
Èkejì, Jehohanani olórí, pẹ̀lú ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́rìnlá ọkùnrin;
16 then Amasiah, son of Zichri, who volunteered to serve the Lord, and 200,000 mighty warriors with him;
àtẹ̀lé Amasiah ọmọ Sikri, ẹni tí ó fi ara rẹ̀ fún iṣẹ́ Olúwa pẹ̀lú ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́wàá.
17 from Benjamin, Eliada, a mighty warrior, and 200,000 with him armed with bows and shields;
Láti ọ̀dọ̀ Benjamini: Eliada, alágbára akọni ọkùnrin pẹ̀lú ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́wàá àwọn jagunjagun ọkùnrin pẹ̀lú ọrun àti àpáta ìhámọ́ra;
18 then Jehozabad, and 180,000 with him ready for battle;
àtẹ̀lé Jehosabadi, pẹ̀lú ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́sàn-án jagunjagun ọkùnrin múra sílẹ̀ fún ogun.
19 These were the men who served the king, in addition those he assigned to the fortified towns throughout Judah.
Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ọkùnrin tí ń dúró níwájú ọba, ní àyíká àwọn ẹni tí ó fi sínú ìlú olódi ní àyíká gbogbo Juda.
