2 Chronicles 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
Тада се зацари Јосафат, син његов, на његово место, и укрепи се на Израиља.
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.
И понамешта војску по свим тврдим градовима Јудиним, и понамешта страже по земљи Јудиној и по градовима Јефремовим, које задоби Аса, отац његов.
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 беше Господ с Јосафатом, јер хођаше првим путевима Давида оца свог и не тражаше Вала.
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.
Него Бога оца свог тражаше и по заповестима Његовим хођаше, и не чињаше као синови Израиљеви.
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.
Зато утврди Господ царство у руци његовој, и сав народ Јудин даваше даре Јосафату, те имаше велико благо и славу.
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.
И срце се његово ослободи на путевима Господњим, те још обори висине и лугове у Јудеји.
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.
И треће године свог царовања посла кнезове своје Вен-Аила и Овадију и Захарију и Натанаила и Михеју да уче по градовима Јудиним;
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 њима Левите: Семају и Натанију и Зевадију и Асаила и Семирамота и Јонатана и Адонију и Товију и Тов-Адонију, Левите, и с њима Елисаму и Јорама свештенике.
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 учаху по Јудеји имајући при себи књигу закона Господњег, и прохођаху све градове Јудине учећи народ.
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 дође страх Господњи на сва царства по земљама око Јуде, те не војеваше на Јосафата.
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.
И сами Филистеји доношаху Јосафату даре и данак у новцу; и Арапи догоњаху му стоку, по седам хиљада и седам стотина овнова и по седам хиљада и седам стотина јараца.
12 And Jehoshaphat went on becoming exceedingly great, and he built in Judah castles and treasure-cities.
Тако напредоваше Јосафат и подиже се веома; и сазида у Јудеји куле и градове за житнице.
13 And he had great works in the cities of Judah, and men of war, mighty in valor, in Jerusalem.
И имаше много добра по градовима Јудиним, и војника, храбрих јунака у Јерусалиму.
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 ово је број њихов по домовима отаца њихових; од Јуде хиљадници: Адна војвода, с којим беше три стотине хиљада храбрих јунака.
15 And next to him was Jehochanan the chief, and with him were two hundred and eighty thousand.
А за њим Јоанам војвода, с којим беше двеста осамдесет хиљада;
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.
А за њим Амасија син Зихријев, који се драговољно даде Господу, и с ким беше двеста хиљада храбрих јунака.
17 And of Benjamin, the mighty valiant Elyada', and with him were those armed with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
А од Венијамина: храбри јунак Елијада, с којим беше двеста хиљада наоружаних луком и штитом;
18 And next him was Jehozabad, and with him were one hundred and eighty thousand ready armed for the host.
А за њим Јозавад, с којим беше сто и осамдесет хиљада наоружаних за бој.
19 These were those that ministered to the king, besides those whom the king had placed in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
Ови служаху цару осим оних које понамешта цар по тврдим градовима у свој земљи Јудиној.
