2 Chronicles 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
Na ko Iehohapata, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia, a ka tupu tona kaha ki te whawhai ki a Iharaira.
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.
A i whakanohoia e ia he hoia ki nga pa taiepa katoa o Hura; whakanohoia ana ano e ia he hoia tiaki ki te whenua o Hura, ki nga pa hoki o Eparaima i tangohia nei e tona papa, e Aha.
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;
Na i a Iehohapata a Ihowa; mona i haere i nga ara tuatahi o tona papa, o Rawiri, kihai hoki i rapu i ta nga Paara;
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.
Otiia rapua ana e ia te Atua o tona papa, haere ana i runga i ana whakahua; kihai tana i rite ki te mahi a Iharaira.
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.
Mo reira ka whakatuturutia e Ihowa te kingitanga ki tona ringa; a mauria ana mai e Hura katoa he hakari ki a Iehohapata; a he nui hoki ana taonga, tona kororia.
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.
I nui ano tona ngakau i runga i nga ara a Ihowa: i whakakahoretia atu hoki e ia nga wahi tiketike, me nga Aherimi i roto i a Hura.
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.
Na i te toru o nga tau o tona kingitanga ka tonoa e ia ana rangatira, a Penehaira, a Oparia, a Tekaria, a Netaneere, a Mikaia kia whakaako i roto i nga pa o Hura;
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.
A hei hoa mo ratou ko nga Riwaiti, ko Hemaia, ko Netania, ko Teparia, ko Atahere, ko Hemiramoto, ko Honatana, ko Aronia, ko Topia, ko Topoaronia, he Riwaiti ratou; hei hoa ano mo ratou ko Erihama, ko Iehorama, he tohunga enei.
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.
Na kei te whakaako ratou i roto i a Hura: i a ratou ano te pukapuka o te ture a Ihowa; i haereerea ano hoki e ratou nga pa katoa o Hura a taka noa, whakaako ai i te iwi.
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.
Na i runga te wehi o Ihowa i nga kingitanga katoa o nga whenua i tetahi taha o Hura i tetahi taha; heoi kihai ratou i whawhai ki a Iehohapata.
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.
I mauria mai ano e etahi o nga Pirihitini he hakari ki a Iehohapata, me te hiriwa hei takoha. I kawea mai ano hoki e nga Arapi he hipi ki a ia, e whitu rau e whitu mano nga hipi toa, me nga koati toa e whitu mano e whitu rau.
12 And Jehoshaphat went on becoming exceedingly great, and he built in Judah castles and treasure-cities.
Na ka tino nui haere a Iehohapata. I hanga hoki etahi taumaihi e ia ki Hura, me etahi pa taonga.
13 And he had great works in the cities of Judah, and men of war, mighty in valor, in Jerusalem.
A he nui ana mahi i roto i nga pa o Hura; me nga tangata whawhai, nga toa marohirohi i Hiruharama.
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.
A ko to ratou tauanga tenei, i nga whare o o ratou matua: o Hura, ko nga rangatira mano; ko Arana te rangatira, a ko ona hoa e toru rau mano nga toa marohirohi:
15 And next to him was Jehochanan the chief, and with him were two hundred and eighty thousand.
Na i tona taha ko Iehohanana, ko te rangatira; ko ona hoa e rua rau e waru tekau mano.
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.
Na i tona taha ko Amahia tama a Tikiri; he mea hihiko noa ia ki a Ihowa; ko ona hoa e rua rau mano nga toa marohirohi.
17 And of Benjamin, the mighty valiant Elyada', and with him were those armed with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
Na, o Pineamine, ko Eriara, he toa marohirohi; ko ona hoa he hunga hapai i te kopere, i te whakangungu rakau, e rua rau mano.
18 And next him was Jehozabad, and with him were one hundred and eighty thousand ready armed for the host.
Na i tona taha ko Iehotapara; ko ona hoa kotahi rau e waru tekau mano, he hunga rite rawa i te patu mo te whawhai.
19 These were those that ministered to the king, besides those whom the king had placed in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
Mo ta te kingi ake enei; haunga a te kingi i whakanoho ai ki nga pa taiepa puta noa i a Hura.
