< Chronicles II 17 >
1 And Josaphat his son reigned in his stead, Josaphat strengthened himself against Israel.
Ni Jehosafat a putotna ti naisaad nga ari a kasukatna ket pinapigsana ti armadana a sumaranget iti Israel.
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.
Nangipuesto isuna kadagiti soldado kadagiti amin a nasarikedkedan a siudad ti Juda, ken nangipasdek kadagiti kampo ti soldado iti daga ti Juda ken kadagiti siudad ti Efraim, a sinakup ni Asa nga amana.
3 And the Lord was with Josaphat, for he walked in the first ways of his father, and did not seek to idols;
Adda ni Yahweh kenni Jehosafat gapu ta nagbiag isuna a sililinteg a kas iti inaramid ni David nga amana kadagiti umuna a tawen ti panagturayna, ken saan isuna a nagdaydayaw kadagiti Baal.
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.
Ngem ketdi, nagtalek isuna iti Dios ti amana, ken tinungpalna dagiti bilbilinna, saanna a sinurot dagiti wagas dagiti tattao ti Israel.
5 And the Lord prospered the kingdom in his hand; and all Juda gave gifts to Josaphat; and he had great wealth and glory.
Isu a pinatalged ni Yahweh ti panangituray ni Jehosafat iti pagarian ti Juda; nangiyeg dagiti amin a taga-Juda iti sagudta kenni Jehosafat. Addaan isuna iti aglaplapusanan a kinabaknang ken dayaw.
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.
Naipamaysa ti pusona kadagiti wagas ni Yahweh. Inikkatna met dagiti pagdawdayawan ken dagiti tekken ni Asera iti Juda.
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.
Iti maika-3 a tawen iti panangiturayna, imbaonna dagiti opisialna a da Benhail, Obadias, Zacarias, Netanel, ken Micaias, a mangisuroda kadagiti siudad ti Juda.
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.
Kadduada dagiti Levita; a da Semaias, Netanias, Zebadias, Asael, Semiramot, Jehonatan, Adoniha, Tobijas ken Tobadonijas; ket kaduada dagiti papadi a da Elesama ken Jehoram.
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.
Nangisuroda idiay Juda, intugotda ti Libro ti Linteg ni Yahweh. Napanda kadagiti amin a siudad ti Juda ket nangisuroda kadagiti tattao.
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.
Ti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh ket nagdissuor kadagiti amin a pagarian kadagiti daga iti aglawlaw ti Juda, isu a saanda a ginubgubat ni Jehosafat.
11 And [some] of the Philistines brought to Josaphat gifts, and silver, and presents; and the Arabians brought him seven thousand seven hundred rams.
Nangiyeg dagiti sumagmamano a Filisteo kadagiti sagutda kenni Jehosafat, ken pirak a kas buisda. Nangiyeg met kenkuana dagiti taga-Arab kadagiti arban, 7, 700 a kalakian a karnero, ken 7, 700 a kalding.
12 And Josaphat increased in greatness exceedingly, and built in Judea places of abode, and strong cities.
Bimmileg iti kasta unay ni Jehosafat. Nangipatakder isuna kadagiti sarikedked ken kadagiti siudad a pangidulinan iti abasto idiay Juda.
13 And he had many works in Judea: and the mighty men of war, [the men] of strength, [were] in Jerusalem.
Addaan isuna kadagiti nakaad-adu nga abasto kadagiti siudad ti Juda, ken kadagiti soldado-mamaingel, natutured a lallaki-idiay Jerusalem.
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.
Daytoy ti listaanda, agsasaruno babaen iti nagan dagiti balay ti ammada: Manipud iti Juda, dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti sangaribu; ni Adna a mangidadaulo, ket kaduana dagiti 300, 000 a mannakigubat a lallaki,
15 And after him, Joanan the captain, and with him two hundred eighty thousand.
ti sumaruno kenkuana ket ni Jehohanan a mangidadaulo, kaduana dagiti 280, 000 a lallaki;
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.
ti sumaruno kenkuana ket ni Amasias a putot a lalaki ni Zikri, a nagdisinudo nga agserbi kenni Yahweh; kaduana dagiti 200, 000 a mannakigubat a lallaki.
17 And out of Benjamin [there was] a mighty man of strength, even Eliada, and with him two hundred thousand archers and targeteers.
Manipud iti Benjamin: ni Eliada a maysa a maingel ken natured a lalaki, ket kaduana dagiti 200, 000 a nakaarmas kadagiti bai ken kalasag;
18 And after him Jozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand mighty men of war.
ti sumaruno kenkuana ket ni Jehozabad, ket kaduana dagiti 180, 000 a nakasagana makigubat.
19 These were the king's servants besides those whom the king put in the strong cities in all Judea.
Dagitoy dagiti agserserbi iti ari, malaksid kadagiti impuesto ti ari kadagiti nasarikedkedan a siudad iti entero a Juda.
