< Chronicles II 17 >

1 And Josaphat his son reigned in his stead, Josaphat strengthened himself against Israel.
Asa capa Jehoshaphat anih yueng la manghai tih Israel te a ning thil.
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.
Tatthai te Judah khopuei boeih ah cakrhuet la a khueh tih Judah khohmuen ah khaw a napa Asa loh a loh Ephraim khopuei rhoek ah khaw khohung a khueh.
3 And the Lord was with Josaphat, for he walked in the first ways of his father, and did not seek to idols;
A napa David kah longpuei ah a pongpa dongah Jehoshaphat te BOEIPA loh a om puei. Lamhma ah khaw Baal te a toem moenih.
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.
Tedae a napa kah Pathen te a toem. A olpaek neh pongpa tih Israel khoboe bangla om pawh.
5 And the Lord prospered the kingdom in his hand; and all Juda gave gifts to Josaphat; and he had great wealth and glory.
BOEIPA loh ram te anih kut ah a cikngae sak tih Judah pum loh Jehoshaphat taengla khocang a paek uh. Te dongah anih te a cungkuem dongah khuehtawn neh thangpomnah neh om.
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 lungbuei te BOEIPA kah longpuei la a phoh tih hmuensang neh Asherah te Judah lamloh a khoe bal.
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.
A manghai kah a kum thum dongah tah Judah khopuei khui kah te tukkil sak hamla a mangpa rhoek Benhail, Obadiah, Zekhariah, Nethanel neh Mikaiah a tueih.
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.
Amih taengah Levi Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jonathan, Adonijah, Tobiah neh Levi Tobadonijah om tih amih taengah Elishama neh Jehoram khosoih la om.
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.
Judah khui ah a tukkil uh phoeiah amamih taengkah BOEIPA olkhueng cabu neh Judah khopuei boeih te a hil uh tih pilnam te a tukkil uh.
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.
Te vaengah Judah kaepvai kah diklai ram tom ah BOEIPA taengkah birhihnah om tih Jehoshaphat te vathoh uh thil pawh.
11 And [some] of the Philistines brought to Josaphat gifts, and silver, and presents; and the Arabians brought him seven thousand seven hundred rams.
Philisti lamkah khaw Jehoshaphat taengah khocang neh hnorhuh la cak a khuen uh. Arab long khaw anih taengah boiva a khuen pah tih tutal thawng rhih ya rhih neh maaetal thawng rhih ya rhih lo.
12 And Josaphat increased in greatness exceedingly, and built in Judea places of abode, and strong cities.
Jehoshaphat tah pongpa tih a soi duela a boeilen dongah Judah ah rhalmah im neh rhuengim khopuei te a sak.
13 And he had many works in Judea: and the mighty men of war, [the men] of strength, [were] in Jerusalem.
Anih kah bitat he Judah kah khopuei ah muep om tih caemtloek hlang la tatthai hlangrhalh te Jerusalem ah om.
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.
He rhoek he a napa rhoek imkhui lamloh amih cawhnah ni. Judah lamkah thawngkhat mangpa rhoek tah mangpa Adnah neh a taengkah tatthai hlangrhalh he thawng ya thum lo.
15 And after him, Joanan the captain, and with him two hundred eighty thousand.
A kut dongkah mangpa Jehohanan neh a taengkah rhoek khaw thawng yahnih neh thawng sawmrhet lo.
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 kut ah BOEIPA ham aka puhlu Zikhri capa Amasiah neh a taengkah tatthai hlangrhalh he thawng yahnih lo.
17 And out of Benjamin [there was] a mighty man of strength, even Eliada, and with him two hundred thousand archers and targeteers.
Benjamin lamkah tatthai hlangrhalh Eliada neh anih taengkah lii neh photling aka muk rhoek te thawng yahnih lo.
18 And after him Jozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand mighty men of war.
Tekah kut dongkah Jehozabad neh anih taengkah thawng yakhat neh thawng sawmrhet tah caempuei la pumcum uh.
19 These were the king's servants besides those whom the king put in the strong cities in all Judea.
He rhoek tah manghai loh Judah pum kah hmuencak khopuei ah amah la a paek phoei lamkah manghai taengkah aka thotat rhoek ni.
