2 Chronicles 17
1 And Iehosphat his sonne reigned in his steade, and preuailed against Israel.
UJehoshafathi indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe; waziqinisa ukumelana loIsrayeli.
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.
Wasebeka amabutho kuyo yonke imizi ebiyelweyo yakoJuda; wabeka lamabutho enqaba elizweni lakoJuda, lemizini yakoEfrayimi uyise uAsa ayeyithumbile.
3 And the Lord was with Iehoshaphat, because he walked in the first wayes of his father Dauid, and sought not Baalim,
INkosi yasisiba loJehoshafathi, ngoba wahamba ngendlela zakuqala zikaDavida uyise, kabadinganga oBhali;
4 But sought the Lord God of his father, and walked in his commandements, and not after the trade of Israel.
kodwa wadinga kuNkulunkulu kayise, wahamba ngemilayo yakhe, njalo kungenjengokwenza kukaIsrayeli.
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.
Ngakho iNkosi yawuqinisa umbuso esandleni sakhe, loJuda wonke waletha izipho kuJehoshafathi; wasesiba lenotho lodumo ngobunengi.
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.
Inhliziyo yakhe yasiphakama ezindleleni zeNkosi; futhi-ke wasusa indawo eziphakemeyo lezixuku koJuda.
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,
Langomnyaka wesithathu wokubusa kwakhe wathuma kuziphathamandla zakhe, kuBeni-Hayili lakuObhadiya lakuZekhariya lakuNethaneli lakuMikhaya, ukufundisa emizini yakoJuda.
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.
Kanye lazo-ke amaLevi, oShemaya loNethaniya loZebhadiya loAsaheli loShemiramothi loJehonathani loAdonija loTobija loTobi-Adonija, amaLevi; kanye labo-ke oElishama loJehoramu, abapristi.
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.
Basebefundisa koJuda, belogwalo lomlayo weNkosi; babhoda kuyo yonke imizi yakoJuda, bafundisa abantu.
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.
Kwasekusiba lokuyesaba iNkosi phezu kwayo yonke imibuso yamazwe ayehanqe uJuda, okokuthi kayilwanga loJehoshafathi.
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.
Labanye bamaFilisti bamlethela uJehoshafathi izipho, lesiliva lokuthela; amaArabhiya lawo amlethela imihlambi, inqama eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa lamakhulu ayisikhombisa, lezimpongo eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa lamakhulu ayisikhombisa.
12 So Iehoshaphat prospered and grewe vp on hie: and he built in Iudah palaces and cities of store.
UJehoshafathi wayelokhu ekhula njalo, waze waba sengqongeni. Wasesakha koJuda izinqaba lemizi yeziphala.
13 And he had great workes in the cities of Iudah, and men of warre, and valiant men in Ierusalem.
Wayelomsebenzi omnengi emizini yakoJuda, lamadoda empi, amaqhawe alamandla, eJerusalema.
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.
Lala ngamanani awo ngezindlu zaboyise: KoJuda, induna zezinkulungwane, uAdina engumphathi, njalo kanye laye amaqhawe alamandla azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu;
15 And at his hande Iehohanan a captaine, and with him two hundreth and fourescore thousande.
leceleni kwakhe uJohanani umphathi, njalo kanye laye izinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili lamatshumi ayisificaminwembili;
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.
leceleni kwakhe uAmasiya indodana kaZikiri, owazinikela ngesihle eNkosini, njalo kanye laye amaqhawe alamandla azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili.
17 And of Beniamin, Eliada a valiant man, and with him armed men with bowe and shielde two hundreth thousand.
LakoBhenjamini: UEliyada iqhawe elilamandla, njalo kanye laye izinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili, ezihlome ngedandili langesihlangu;
18 And at his hand Iehozabad, and with him an hundreth and fourescore thousand armed to the warre.
leceleni kwakhe uJehozabadi, njalo kanye laye izinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi ayisificaminwembili, abahlomele impi.
19 These waited on the King, besides those which the King put in the strong cities thoroughout all Iudah.
Laba babesebenzela inkosi ngaphandle kwalabo inkosi eyayibabeke emizini ebiyelweyo kuye wonke uJuda.
