2 Chronicles 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
А вместо Аса се възцари син му Иосафат, който се засили против Израиля;
2 And he placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and placed garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Assa his father had captured.
защото тури военни сили във всичките укрепени градове на Юда, и постави гарнизони в Юдовата земя и в Ефремовите градове, които баща му Аса бе превзел.
3 And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat; because he walked in the first ways of David his father, and sought not after the Be'alim;
И Господ бе с Иосафата, понеже той ходи в първите пътища на баща си Давида и не потърси ваалимите,
4 On the contrary, after the God of his father did he seek, and in his commandments did he walk, but not after the doings of Israel.
но потърси Бога на бащите си, и в Неговите заповеди ходи, а не по делата на Израиля.
5 Therefore did the Lord establish the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah gave presents to Jehoshaphat; and he had riches and honor in abundance.
Затова Господ, утвърди царството в ръката му; и целият Юда даде подаръци на Иосафата; и той придоби богатство и голяма слава.
6 And his heart raised itself up in the ways of the Lord, and he removed moreover the high-places and groves out of Judah.
При това, като се поощри сърцето му в Господните пътища, той отмахна от Юда високите места и ашерите.
7 And in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben-chayil, and 'Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Michayahu, to teach in the cities of Judah.
Тоже в третата година от царуването си прати първенците си Венхаила, Авдия, Захария, Натанаила и Михаия да поучават в Юдовите градове,
8 And with them were the Levites, Shema'yahu, and Nethanyahu, and Zebadyahu, and 'Assahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adoniyahu, and Tobiyahu, and Tobadoniyah, the Levites; and with them Elishama' and Jehoram, the priests.
и с тях левитите Семаия, Натания, Зевадия, Асаила, Семирамота, Ионатана, Адония, Товия и Товадония, левитите, и заедно с тях свещениците Елисама и Иорама.
9 And they taught in Judah, and with them was the book of the law of the Lord, and they moved about through all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.
И те поучаваха в Юда, като имаха със себе си книгата на Господния закон; и обхождаха всичките Юдови градове та поучаваха людете.
10 And the dread of the Lord was upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war with Jehoshaphat.
И страх от Господа обзе всичките царства в земите, които бяха около Юда, та не воюваха против Иосафата.
11 Also from the Philistines did people bring unto Jehoshaphat presents and silver, as tribute: also the Arabians brought him small cattle, rams seven thousand and seven hundred, and he-goats seven thousand and seven hundred.
Някои и от филистимците донесоха подаръци на Иосафата, и сребро като данък; арабите още му докараха стада: седем хиляди и седемстотин овена, и седем хиляди и седемстотин козли.
12 And Jehoshaphat went on becoming exceedingly great, and he built in Judah castles and treasure-cities.
И Иосафат продължаваше да се възвеличава твърде много; и съгради в Юда крепости и житници-градове.
13 And he had great works in the cities of Judah, and men of war, mighty in valor, in Jerusalem.
И имаше много работи в Юдовите градове, и военни мъже, силни и храбри, в Ерусалим.
14 And these are their numbers according to their family divisions: Of Judah, of the captains of the thousands was 'Adnah the chief, and with him were mighty men of valor, three hundred thousand.
А ето броят им, според бащините им домове: от Юда хилядници: Адна, началникът, и с него триста хиляди души силни и храбри;
15 And next to him was Jehochanan the chief, and with him were two hundred and eighty thousand.
след него, Иоанан, началникът, и с него двеста и осемдесет хиляди души;
16 And next to him was 'Amassyah the son of Zichri, who voluntarily offered himself unto the Lord; and with him were two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
след него, Амасия Захриевият син, който драговолно принесе себе си Господу, и с него двеста хиляди силни и храбри мъже;
17 And of Benjamin, the mighty valiant Elyada', and with him were those armed with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
а от Вениамина: Елиада, силен и храбър, и с него двеста хиляди души въоръжени с лъкове и щитчета;
18 And next him was Jehozabad, and with him were one hundred and eighty thousand ready armed for the host.
а след него, Иозавад, и с него сто и осемдесет хиляди души въоръжени за война.
19 These were those that ministered to the king, besides those whom the king had placed in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
Тия бяха мъжете, които слугуваха на царя, освен ония, които царят постави в укрепените градове в целия Юда.
