2 Chronicles 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
Jehoshafat nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya, o mere onwe ya ka ọ dị ike imegide Izrel.
2 And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
O tinyere ụfọdụ ndị agha ya nʼobodo niile dị na Juda e wusiri ike, tinyekwa ụfọdụ nʼobodo ndị ọzọ dị nʼIfrem, na ebe ndị ọzọ niile nke nna ya, Asa meriri nʼagha.
3 And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;
Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere Jehoshafat nʼihi na o sooro nzọ ụkwụ nna ya, bụ Devid, onye buuru ya ụzọ chịa. Ọ jụghị ase site nʼaka Baal,
4 But sought to the [ Lord] God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
kama ọ chọrọ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nna ya, dobekwa iwu ya niile, ọ bụghịkwa dịka omume ndị Izrel si dị.
5 Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
Nʼihi nke a Onyenwe anyị mere ka ọchịchị ya guzosie ike. Ndị Juda niile tụkwara ụtụ ha dịka o kwesiri wetara Jehoshafat, nke a mere ka o nwee akụnụba ebe ọ dị ukwuu, nwekwa nsọpụrụ.
6 And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.
O ji obi ya niile gbasoo ụzọ Onyenwe anyị. Ọzọkwa, o sitere na Juda wezuga ebe niile dị elu nakwa ogidi Ashera niile.
7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, [even] to Ben-hail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.
Nʼafọ nke atọ nke ọchịchị ya, o zipụrụ ndịisi ọchịchị alaeze ya ndị a, Ben-Hail, Ọbadaya, Zekaraya, Netanel na Mikaya ka ha gaa zie ndị mmadụ ihe nʼobodo niile nke Juda.
8 And with them [he sent] Levites, [even] Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests.
Ụfọdụ ndị Livayị ndị a sokwa gaa: Shemaya, Netanaya, Zebadaya, Asahel, Shemiramot, Jehonatan, Adonaịja, Tobaija, Tob-Adonaịja na ndị nchụaja ụfọdụ, ndị dị ka Elishama na Jehoram.
9 And they taught in Judah, and [had] the book of the law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.
Ha ji akwụkwọ iwu Onyenwe anyị, zie ihe na Juda. Ha jere gburugburu obodo niile nke Juda na-ezi ndị mmadụ ihe.
10 And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that [were] round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
Egwu Onyenwe anyị dakwasịrị alaeze niile dị gburugburu Juda, nʼihi ya, ha ebukwaghị agha megide Jehoshafat.
11 Also [some] of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats.
Ụfọdụ nʼime ndị Filistia wetaara ya onyinye na ọlaọcha kwa afọ nʼụzọ ịkwanyere ya ugwu, ma ndị Arab, wetaara ya igwe anụ ụlọ dị puku ebule asaa na narị asaa, na puku mkpi asaa na narị asaa.
12 And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store.
Ya mere, Jehoshafat ghọrọ eze dị ike. O wusiri obodo ndị dị na Juda ike, wukwaa obodo ịchịkọba ihe.
13 And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, [were] in Jerusalem.
O nwekwara ihe ndị ọ chịkọbara nʼọtụtụ obodo Juda. O debekwara ndị agha ibu agha doro anya nʼime Jerusalem.
14 And these [are] the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers: Of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the chief, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand.
Ngụkọta ha dịka e si dekọọ ya nʼezinaụlọ si dị: Ndị si Juda, ndịisi agha na-achị puku ndị agha, Adna, onyeisi agha, na-achị narị puku ndị agha atọ,
15 And next to him [was] Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand.
onye na-eso ya bụ Jehohanan, onyeisi agha, na-achị narị puku ndị agha abụọ na iri puku asatọ,
16 And next him [was] Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour.
ọzọ, Amasiya nwa Zikri, onye ji afọ ofufu nye onwe ya maka ọrụ Onyenwe anyị, na-achị narị puku ndị agha abụọ.
17 And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
Ndị si Benjamin, Eliada, dimkpa nʼagha, na-achị narị puku ndị agha abụọ, ndị ji akụ na ụta, na ọta ebu agha.
18 And next him [was] Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war.
Onye ọzọ bụ Jehozabad, onye na-achị narị puku ndị agha na iri puku asatọ, ndị jikeere ibu agha.
19 These waited on the king, beside [those] whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.
Ndị a bụ ndị ikom na-ejere eze ozi, nʼagụnyeghị ndị ahụ o tinyere ka ha nọdụ nʼobodo niile e wusiri ike dị nʼime Juda.
