2 Chronicles 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
E Josaphat seu filho reinou em seu lugar: e fortificou-se contra Israel.
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.
E pôs gente de guerra em todas as cidades fortes de Judá e pôs guarnições na terra de Judá, como também nas cidades de Ephraim, que Asa seu pai tinha tomado.
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;
E o Senhor foi com Josaphat; porque andou nos primeiros caminhos de David seu pai, e não buscou a Baalim.
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.
Antes buscou ao Deus de seu pai, e andou nos seus mandamentos, e não segundo as obras de Israel.
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.
E o Senhor confirmou o reino na sua mão, e todo o Judá deu presentes a Josaphat: e teve riquezas e glória em abundância.
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.
E exaltou-se o seu coração nos caminhos do Senhor e ainda de mais tirou os altos e os bosques de Judá.
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.
E no terceiro ano do seu reinado enviou ele os seus príncipes, a Benchail, e a Obadias, e a Zacarias, e a Nathanael, e a Michaia, para ensinarem nas cidades de Judá.
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.
E com eles os levitas, Semaias e Nethanias, e Zebadias, e Asael, e Semiramoth, e Jonathan, e Adonias, e Tobias, e Tobadonias, levitas: e com eles os sacerdotes, Elisama e Jorão.
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.
E ensinaram em Judá e tinham consigo o livro da lei do Senhor: e rodearam todas as cidades de Judá, e ensinaram entre o povo.
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.
E veio o temor do Senhor sobre todos os reinos das terras, que estavam em roda de Judá e não guerrearam contra Josaphat.
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.
E alguns dentre os philisteus traziam presentes a Josaphat, com o dinheiro do tributo: também os arabios lhe trouxeram gado miúdo; sete mil e setecentos carneiros, e sete mil e setecentos bodes.
12 And Jehoshaphat went on becoming exceedingly great, and he built in Judah castles and treasure-cities.
Cresceu pois Josaphat e se engrandeceu extremamente: e edificou fortalezas e cidades de munições em Judá.
13 And he had great works in the cities of Judah, and men of war, mighty in valor, in Jerusalem.
E teve muitas obras nas cidades de Judá e gente de guerra, varões valentes em Jerusalém.
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.
E este é o número deles segundo as casas de seu pais: em Judá eram chefes dos milhares: o chefe Adna, e com ele trezentos mil varões valentes;
15 And next to him was Jehochanan the chief, and with him were two hundred and eighty thousand.
E após ele o chefe Johanan, e com ele duzentos e oitenta mil;
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.
E após ele Amasias, filho de Zichri, que voluntariamente se entregou ao Senhor, e com ele duzentos mil varões valentes:
17 And of Benjamin, the mighty valiant Elyada', and with him were those armed with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
E de Benjamin Eliada, varão valente, e com ele duzentos mil, armados de arco e de escudo:
18 And next him was Jehozabad, and with him were one hundred and eighty thousand ready armed for the host.
E após ele Jozabad: e com ele cento e oitenta mil armados para a guerra.
19 These were those that ministered to the king, besides those whom the king had placed in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
Estes estavam no serviço do rei; a fora os que o rei tinha posto nas cidades fortes por todo o Judá.
