< Chronicles II 17 >
1 And Josaphat his son reigned in his stead, Josaphat strengthened himself against Israel.
Asa capa Jehosaphat loe ampa zuengah siangpahrang ah oh moe, Israel tuk hanah tha pathok.
2 And he put garrisons in all the strong cities of Juda, and appointed captains in all the cities of Juda, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
Sipae hoi kacakah thungh ih Judah vangpuinawk boih ah misatuh kaminawk to a suek; Judah prae thung boih hoi ampa Asa mah lak ih Ephraim vangpuinawk boih ah misatuh kaminawk to a suek.
3 And the Lord was with Josaphat, for he walked in the first ways of his father, and did not seek to idols;
Baal sithawnawk khaeah caeh ai, anih loe ampa David mah caeh tangsuekhaih loklam to pazui pongah, Angraeng mah Jehosaphat to oh thuih;
4 but he sought to the Lord God of his father, and walked in the commandments of his father, and not according to the works of Israel.
anih loe ampanawk ih Angraeng Sithaw khaeah caeh, Israelnawk mah sak ih hmuen baktiah sah ai, Angraeng ih loknawk to pazui.
5 And the Lord prospered the kingdom in his hand; and all Juda gave gifts to Josaphat; and he had great wealth and glory.
To pongah Angraeng mah anih ban ah prae to caksak; Judah kaminawk boih mah Jehosaphat hanah tangqum to sin pae o; to pongah anih loe angraeng moe, paroeai pakoehhaih to a hnuk.
6 And his heart was exalted in the way of the Lord; and he removed the high places and the groves from the land of Juda.
A poekhaih palungthin Angraeng khaeah suek moe, hmuensangnawk hoi Asherah thingnawk to Judah prae thung hoiah takhoe king.
7 And in the third year of his reign, he sent his chief men, and his mighty men, Abdias and Zacharias, and Nathanael, and Michaias, to teach in the cities of Juda.
Siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning thumto naah, Judah vangpui kaminawk patuk hanah, angmah ih angraeng, Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zekariah, Nathanel hoi Mikaiah cae to patoeh.
8 And with them [were] the Levites, Samaias, and Nathanias, and Zabdias, and Asiel, and Semiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonias, and Tobias, and Tobadonias, Levites, and with them Elisama and Joram, the priests.
Nihcae hoi nawnto ah Levinawk, Shemaiah, Nathaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemi-Ramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah hoi Tob-Adonijah; Levinawk thung hoiah qaima Elishama hoi Jehoram to patoeh.
9 And they taught in Juda, and [there was] with them the book of the law of the Lord, and they passed through the cities of Juda, and taught the people.
Nihcae mah Judah prae thung boih ah patukhaih to sak o; Angraeng ih kaalok cabu to sin o; Judah vangpuinawk boih ah caeh o moe, kaminawk to patuk o.
10 And a terror of the Lord was upon all the kingdoms of the land round about Juda, and they made no war against Josaphat.
Judah prae taeng ih praenawk boih ah Sithaw zithaih palungthin to oh pongah, Jehosaphat loe misa tuh ai.
11 And [some] of the Philistines brought to Josaphat gifts, and silver, and presents; and the Arabians brought him seven thousand seven hundred rams.
Thoemto Philistin kaminawk mah Jehosaphat hanah tangqum sin pae o moe, sumkanglungnawk to paek o; Arab kaminawk mah anih hanah tuunawk to sin pae o; tuucaa sang sarih, cumvai sarihto, maeh tae sang sarih, cumvai sarihto sin pae o.
12 And Josaphat increased in greatness exceedingly, and built in Judea places of abode, and strong cities.
Jehosaphat loe len aep aep; misa toephaih imnawk, Judah prae thungah hmuenmae suekhaih vangpuinawk to a sak.
13 And he had many works in Judea: and the mighty men of war, [the men] of strength, [were] in Jerusalem.
Judah vangpuinawk thungah paroeai caaknaek to oh; misahoih kaminawk hoi misatuh thaih kaminawk to Jerusalem ah a suek.
14 And this [is] their number according to the houses of their fathers; even the captains of thousands in Juda [were], Ednas the chief, and with him mighty men of strength three hundred thousand.
Nihcae imthung takoh kaminawk loe hae tiah oh o; Judah acaeng thung hoiah abu maeto ukkung misatuh angraeng sangto oh moe, kalen koek misatuh angraeng Adnah hoi thacak misatuh kaminawk sang cumvai thumto oh o.
15 And after him, Joanan the captain, and with him two hundred eighty thousand.
Anih pacoengah misatuh angraeng Jehohanan hoi angmah ih misatuh kaminawk sang cumvai hnet, sang quitazetto oh o.
16 And after him Amasias the [son] of Zari, who was zealous for the Lord; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of strength.
Anih pacoengah angmah koeh ah Angraeng toksak hanah kangpaek, Zikri capa Amasiah hoi angmah ih misatuh kaminawk sang cumvai hnetto oh.
17 And out of Benjamin [there was] a mighty man of strength, even Eliada, and with him two hundred thousand archers and targeteers.
Tayae hoi misa angvaenghaih aphaw sin Benjamin acaeng, thacak Eliada hoi anih ih misatuh kaminawk loe sang cumvai hnetto oh o.
18 And after him Jozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand mighty men of war.
Anih pacoengah, Jehosaphat hoi misa angtuk han amsakcoek misatuh kami, sing ha, sang quitazetto oh.
19 These were the king's servants besides those whom the king put in the strong cities in all Judea.
Siangpahrang mah Judah prae hoi sipae kacakah thungh ih vangpuinawk boih ah suek ih kaminawk pacoengah, hae kaminawk doeh siangpahrang ih toksah kami ah oh o.
