2 Chronicles 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
Jehoṣafati ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀ ó sì mú ara rẹ̀ lágbára sí lórí Israẹli.
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.
Ó sì fi ogun sínú gbogbo ìlú olódi Juda ó sì kó ẹgbẹ́ ológun ní Juda àti nínú ìlú Efraimu tí Asa baba rẹ̀ ti gbà.
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;
Olúwa sì wà pẹ̀lú Jehoṣafati nítorí, ní ọdún àkọ́kọ́ rẹ̀, ó rìn ní ọ̀nà ti baba rẹ̀ Dafidi ti rìn, kò sì fi ọ̀ràn lọ Baali.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó wá Ọlọ́run baba rẹ̀ kiri ó sì tẹ̀lé àṣẹ rẹ̀ ju iṣẹ́ Israẹli.
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.
Olúwa sì fi ìjọba rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ lábẹ́ àkóso rẹ̀, gbogbo Juda sì mú ẹ̀bùn wá fún Jehoṣafati, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì ní ọrọ̀ àti ọlá lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀.
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.
Ọkàn rẹ̀ sì gbé sókè si ọ̀nà Olúwa, pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú, ó sì mú ibi gíga wọn àti ère òrìṣà Aṣerah kúrò ní Juda.
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.
Ní ọdún kẹta ìjọba rẹ̀, ó rán àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ Bene-Haili, Obadiah, Sekariah, Netaneli, Mikaiah láti máa kọ́ ni nínú ìlú Juda.
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.
Wọ́n sì ní díẹ̀ lára àwọn ọmọ Lefi, àní Ṣemaiah, Netaniah, Sebadiah, Asaheli, Ṣemiramotu, Jehonatani, Adonijah, Tobijah àti Tobu-Adonijah àti àwọn àlùfáà Eliṣama àti Jehoramu.
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.
Wọ́n ń kọ́ ni ní agbègbè Juda, wọ́n mú ìwé òfin Olúwa wọ́n sì rìn yíká gbogbo àwọn ìlú Juda wọ́n sì ń kọ́ àwọn ènìyàn.
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.
Ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa bà lórí gbogbo ìjọba ilẹ̀ tí ó yí Juda ká, dé bi pé wọn kò bá Jehoṣafati jagun.
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.
Lára àwọn ará Filistini, mú ẹ̀bùn fàdákà gẹ́gẹ́ bí owó ọba wá fún Jehoṣafati, àwọn ará Arabia sì mú ọ̀wọ́ ẹran wá fún un, ẹgbàarindín ní ọ̀ọ́dúnrún àgbò àti ẹgbàarindín ní ọ̀ọ́dúnrún òbúkọ.
12 And Jehoshaphat went on becoming exceedingly great, and he built in Judah castles and treasure-cities.
Jehoṣafati sì ń di alágbára nínú agbára sí i, ó sì kọ́ ilé olódi àti ilé ìṣúra púpọ̀ ní Juda
13 And he had great works in the cities of Judah, and men of war, mighty in valor, in Jerusalem.
Ó sì ní ìṣúra ní ìlú Juda. Ó sì tún ní àwọn alágbára jagunjagun akọni ọkùnrin ní Jerusalẹmu.
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.
Iye wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ilé baba wọn nìwọ̀nyí. Láti Juda, àwọn olórí ìpín kan ti ẹgbẹ̀rún: Adina olórí, pẹ̀lú ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún alágbára akọni ọkùnrin.
15 And next to him was Jehochanan the chief, and with him were two hundred and eighty thousand.
Èkejì, Jehohanani olórí, pẹ̀lú ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́rìnlá ọkùnrin;
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.
àtẹ̀lé Amasiah ọmọ Sikri, ẹni tí ó fi ara rẹ̀ fún iṣẹ́ Olúwa pẹ̀lú ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́wàá.
17 And of Benjamin, the mighty valiant Elyada', and with him were those armed with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
Láti ọ̀dọ̀ Benjamini: Eliada, alágbára akọni ọkùnrin pẹ̀lú ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́wàá àwọn jagunjagun ọkùnrin pẹ̀lú ọrun àti àpáta ìhámọ́ra;
18 And next him was Jehozabad, and with him were one hundred and eighty thousand ready armed for the host.
àtẹ̀lé Jehosabadi, pẹ̀lú ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́sàn-án jagunjagun ọkùnrin múra sílẹ̀ fún ogun.
19 These were those that ministered to the king, besides those whom the king had placed in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ọkùnrin tí ń dúró níwájú ọba, ní àyíká àwọn ẹni tí ó fi sínú ìlú olódi ní àyíká gbogbo Juda.
