2 Chronicles 17
1 And his son Jehoshaphat reigns in his stead, and he strengthens himself against Israel,
Nake Jehoshafatu mũrũ wa Asa agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake, na akĩĩkĩra hinya ndakahũũrwo nĩ Isiraeli.
2 and puts a force in all the fortified cities of Judah, and puts garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.
Akĩiga ikundi cia thigari matũũra-inĩ manene mothe marĩa mairigĩtwo na thingo cia hinya ma Juda, na agĩaka kambĩ cia thigari kũu Juda na matũũra-inĩ ma Efiraimu marĩa ithe Asa aatunyanĩte.
3 And YHWH is with Jehoshaphat, for he has walked in the first ways of his father David, and has not sought for the Ba‘alim,
Jehova aarĩ hamwe na Jehoshafatu tondũ hĩndĩ ya wĩthĩ wake nĩathiiaga na mĩthiĩre ĩrĩa ithe Daudi aathiiaga nayo. We ndaigana kũhooya kĩrĩra kuuma kũrĩ Baali,
4 for he has sought for the God of his father, and he has walked in His commands, and not according to the work of Israel.
no nĩarongooragia Ngai wa ithe na akarũmagĩrĩra mawatho make, na ndaarũmĩrĩire mĩtugo ya Isiraeli.
5 And YHWH establishes the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah gives a present to Jehoshaphat, and he has riches and honor in abundance,
Jehova akĩhaanda ũthamaki ũcio wega moko-inĩ make, nao andũ a Juda othe makĩrehera Jehoshafatu iheo; nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩgĩa na indo nyingĩ na agĩtĩĩka mũno.
6 and his heart is high in the ways of YHWH, and again he has turned aside the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.
Nĩerutĩire na ngoro yake kũrũmĩrĩra mĩthiĩre ya Jehova; na makĩria ma ũguo, agĩtharia kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru o na itugĩ cia Ashera, agĩcieheria Juda.
7 And in the third year of his reign he has sent for his heads, for Ben-Hail, and for Obadiah, and for Zechariah, and for Nethaneel, and for Michaiah, to teach in cities of Judah;
Mwaka wa gatatũ wa wathani wake nĩatũmire anene ake, na nĩo Beni-Haili, na Obadia, na Zekaria, na Nethaneli, na Mikaia makarutane matũũra-inĩ ma Juda.
8 and with them the Levites: Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijath, and Tob-Adonijah—the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
Hamwe nao kwarĩ na Alawii nao nĩ, Shemaia, na Nethania, na Zebadia, na Asaheli, na Shemiramothu, na Jehonathani, na Adonija, na Tobija, na Tobu-Adonija, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai Elishama na Jehoramu.
9 And they teach in Judah, and the Scroll of the Law of YHWH [is] with them, and they go around into all cities of Judah, and teach among the people.
Nao makĩrutana Juda guothe, magathiiaga na Ibuku rĩa Watho wa Jehova; magĩthiũrũrũka matũũra-inĩ mothe ma Juda makĩrutaga andũ watho.
10 And there is a fear of YHWH on all kingdoms of the lands that [are] around Judah, and they have not fought with Jehoshaphat;
Ũhoro wa gwĩtigĩra Jehova ũkĩiyũra mothamaki-inĩ mothe marĩa maathiũrũrũkĩirie Juda, nĩ ũndũ ũcio matiigana kũrũa na Jehoshafatu.
11 and [some] from the Philistines are bringing a present to Jehoshaphat, and silver [as] tribute; also, the Arabians are bringing to him a flock of seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred male goats.
Nao Afilisti amwe makĩrehera Jehoshafatu iheo, na makĩrehe betha arĩ igooti, nao Arabu makĩmũrehere ndũũru cia mbũri: ndũrũme 7,700 na mbũri 7,700.
12 And Jehoshaphat is going on and becoming very great, and he builds palaces and cities of store in Judah,
Jehoshafatu agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũgĩa na hinya mũno; agĩaka matũũra manene magitĩre na matũũra ma makũmbĩ kũu Juda,
13 and he has much work in cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, [are] in Jerusalem.
na nĩarĩ na indo nyingĩ matũũra-inĩ macio ma Juda. Agĩcooka akĩiga thigari iria ciooĩ wega ũhoro wa mbaara kũu Jerusalemu.
14 And these [are] their numbers, for the house of their fathers—of Judah, heads of thousands: Adnah the head, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor;
Rĩandĩkithia rĩao, kũringana na nyũmba ciao, rĩatariĩ ta ũũ: Kuuma Juda, anene a ikundi cia 1,000: Adina nĩwe warĩ mũnene wao, aarĩ na andũ 300,000 a kũrũa;
15 and at his hand [is] Jehohanan the head, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;
ũrĩa wamũrũmĩrĩire nĩ Jehohanani, na aarĩ na thigari 280,000;
16 and at his hand [is] Amasiah son of Zichri, who is willingly offering himself to YHWH, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
wa gatatũ aarĩ Amasia mũrũ wa Zikiri, ũrĩa werutĩire gũtungata Jehova, na aarĩ na thigari 200,000.
17 And of Benjamin, mighty men of valor: Eliada, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
Kuuma Benjamini nĩ: Eliada, mũthigari njamba, na aarĩ na andũ 200,000 arĩa maarĩ na mota na ngo;
18 and at his hand [is] Jehozabad, and with him one hundred and eighty thousand armed ones of the host.
ũrĩa wamũrũmĩrĩire nĩ Jehozabadu, na aarĩ na andũ 180,000 arĩa maarĩ na indo cia mbaara.
19 These [are] those serving the king, apart from those whom the king put in the fortress cities in all of Judah.
Acio nĩo andũ arĩa maatungatagĩra mũthamaki, o hamwe na arĩa angĩ aigĩte matũũra-inĩ manene marĩa mairigĩirwo na thingo cia hinya kũu Juda guothe.
