2 Chronicles 17
1 And Iehosphat his sonne reigned in his steade, and preuailed against Israel.
Na ko Iehohapata, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia, a ka tupu tona kaha ki te whawhai ki a Iharaira.
2 And he put garisons in all the strong cities of Iudah, and set bandes in the lande of Iudah and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
A i whakanohoia e ia he hoia ki nga pa taiepa katoa o Hura; whakanohoia ana ano e ia he hoia tiaki ki te whenua o Hura, ki nga pa hoki o Eparaima i tangohia nei e tona papa, e Aha.
3 And the Lord was with Iehoshaphat, because he walked in the first wayes of his father Dauid, and sought not Baalim,
Na i a Iehohapata a Ihowa; mona i haere i nga ara tuatahi o tona papa, o Rawiri, kihai hoki i rapu i ta nga Paara;
4 But sought the Lord God of his father, and walked in his commandements, and not after the trade of Israel.
Otiia rapua ana e ia te Atua o tona papa, haere ana i runga i ana whakahua; kihai tana i rite ki te mahi a Iharaira.
5 Therefore the Lord stablished the kingdome in his hande, and all Iudah brought presents to Iehoshaphat, so that he had of riches and honour in abundance.
Mo reira ka whakatuturutia e Ihowa te kingitanga ki tona ringa; a mauria ana mai e Hura katoa he hakari ki a Iehohapata; a he nui hoki ana taonga, tona kororia.
6 And he lift vp his heart vnto the wayes of the Lord, and he tooke away moreouer the hie places and the groues out of Iudah.
I nui ano tona ngakau i runga i nga ara a Ihowa: i whakakahoretia atu hoki e ia nga wahi tiketike, me nga Aherimi i roto i a Hura.
7 And in the thirde yere of his reigne he sent his princes, Ben-hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethaneel, and Michaiah, that they should teach in the cities of Iudah,
Na i te toru o nga tau o tona kingitanga ka tonoa e ia ana rangatira, a Penehaira, a Oparia, a Tekaria, a Netaneere, a Mikaia kia whakaako i roto i nga pa o Hura;
8 And with them Leuites, Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehonathan, and Adoniiah, and Tobiiah, and Tob-adoniiah, Leuites, and with the Elishama and Iehoram Priestes.
A hei hoa mo ratou ko nga Riwaiti, ko Hemaia, ko Netania, ko Teparia, ko Atahere, ko Hemiramoto, ko Honatana, ko Aronia, ko Topia, ko Topoaronia, he Riwaiti ratou; hei hoa ano mo ratou ko Erihama, ko Iehorama, he tohunga enei.
9 And they taught in Iudah, and had the booke of the Lawe of the Lord with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Iudah, and taught the people.
Na kei te whakaako ratou i roto i a Hura: i a ratou ano te pukapuka o te ture a Ihowa; i haereerea ano hoki e ratou nga pa katoa o Hura a taka noa, whakaako ai i te iwi.
10 And the feare of the Lord fell vpon all the kingdomes of ye lands that were round about Iudah, and they fought not against Iehoshaphat.
Na i runga te wehi o Ihowa i nga kingitanga katoa o nga whenua i tetahi taha o Hura i tetahi taha; heoi kihai ratou i whawhai ki a Iehohapata.
11 Also some of the Philistims brought Iehoshaphat giftes and tribute siluer, and the Arabians brought him flockes, seuen thousande and seuen hundreth rammes, and seuen thousande and seuen hundreth hee goates.
I mauria mai ano e etahi o nga Pirihitini he hakari ki a Iehohapata, me te hiriwa hei takoha. I kawea mai ano hoki e nga Arapi he hipi ki a ia, e whitu rau e whitu mano nga hipi toa, me nga koati toa e whitu mano e whitu rau.
12 So Iehoshaphat prospered and grewe vp on hie: and he built in Iudah palaces and cities of store.
Na ka tino nui haere a Iehohapata. I hanga hoki etahi taumaihi e ia ki Hura, me etahi pa taonga.
13 And he had great workes in the cities of Iudah, and men of warre, and valiant men in Ierusalem.
A he nui ana mahi i roto i nga pa o Hura; me nga tangata whawhai, nga toa marohirohi i Hiruharama.
14 And these are the nombers of them after the house of their fathers, In Iudah were captaines of thousands, Adnah the captaine, and with him of valiant men three hundreth thousande.
A ko to ratou tauanga tenei, i nga whare o o ratou matua: o Hura, ko nga rangatira mano; ko Arana te rangatira, a ko ona hoa e toru rau mano nga toa marohirohi:
15 And at his hande Iehohanan a captaine, and with him two hundreth and fourescore thousande.
Na i tona taha ko Iehohanana, ko te rangatira; ko ona hoa e rua rau e waru tekau mano.
16 And at his hande Amasiah the sonne of Zichri, which willingly offered him selfe vnto the Lord, and with him two hundreth thousand valiant men.
Na i tona taha ko Amahia tama a Tikiri; he mea hihiko noa ia ki a Ihowa; ko ona hoa e rua rau mano nga toa marohirohi.
17 And of Beniamin, Eliada a valiant man, and with him armed men with bowe and shielde two hundreth thousand.
Na, o Pineamine, ko Eriara, he toa marohirohi; ko ona hoa he hunga hapai i te kopere, i te whakangungu rakau, e rua rau mano.
18 And at his hand Iehozabad, and with him an hundreth and fourescore thousand armed to the warre.
Na i tona taha ko Iehotapara; ko ona hoa kotahi rau e waru tekau mano, he hunga rite rawa i te patu mo te whawhai.
19 These waited on the King, besides those which the King put in the strong cities thoroughout all Iudah.
Mo ta te kingi ake enei; haunga a te kingi i whakanoho ai ki nga pa taiepa puta noa i a Hura.
