2 Chronicles 17
1 And his son Jehoshaphat reigns in his stead, and he strengthens himself against Israel,
Josaphat, fis li a te devni wa nan plas li, e li te fè pozisyon li sou Israël byen fèm.
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.
Li te mete sòlda nan tout vil fòtifye Juda yo, e li te fè ganizon militè nan peyi Juda avèk nan vil Éphraïm ke papa li, Asa te kaptire yo.
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,
SENYÈ a te avèk Josaphat akoz li te swiv egzanp a zansèt li a, David, nan premye jou li yo, e li pa t chache Baal yo,
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.
men li te chache Bondye a zansèt li yo. Li te swiv kòmandman li yo, e li pa t aji jan Israël te fè a.
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,
Pou sa, SENYÈ a te etabli wayòm nan sou kontwòl li, tout Juda te pote pèyman bay Josaphat e li te vin gen gwo richès avèk lonè.
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.
Li te fyè nan chemen SENYÈ a, e ankò li te rache wo plas yo avèk Asherim yo soti nan 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;
Konsa, nan twazyèm ane règn li a, li te voye reprezantan li yo, chèf Ben-Haïl yo, Abdias, Zacharie, Nethaneel, avèk Michée pou enstwi nan vil a Juda yo;
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.
epi avèk yo Levit yo, Schemaeja, Nethania, Zebadia, Adonija, Tobija ak Tob-Adonija; epi avèk yo, prèt yo, Élischama avèk Joram.
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.
Yo te enstwi Juda avèk liv lalwa SENYÈ a ke yo te genyen avèk yo. Konsa, yo te ale toupatou nan tout vil Juda yo pou te enstwi pami pèp la.
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;
Alò, lakrent SENYÈ a te sou tout wayòm ki te antoure Juda yo, jiskaske yo pa t fè lagè kont Josaphat.
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.
Kèk nan Filisten yo te pote kado avèk lò kòm pèyman bay Josaphat. Arabyen yo tou te pote bann bèt ba li, sèt-mil-sèt-san belye ak sèt-mil-sèt-san mal kabrit.
12 And Jehoshaphat is going on and becoming very great, and he builds palaces and cities of store in Judah,
Josaphat te vin grandi de plizanplis e li te bati fò avèk vil depo nan Juda.
13 and he has much work in cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, [are] in Jerusalem.
Li te gen anpil depo nan vil a Juda yo ak gèrye yo, mesye ki plen kouraj Jérusalem yo.
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;
Men kontwòl selon lakay a papa zansèt yo: nan Juda, chèf a dè milye yo, Adna, chèf la avèk twa-san-mil mesye plen kouraj;
15 and at his hand [is] Jehohanan the head, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;
epi akote li, Jochanan, chèf la, avèk de-san-katre-ven-mil mesye plen kouraj;
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.
epi akote li, Amasia, fis a Zicri a, ki te konsakre volontèman a SENYÈ a, avèk de-san-mil mesye plen kouraj.
17 And of Benjamin, mighty men of valor: Eliada, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
Pou Benjamin: Éliada, yon nonm plen kouraj, avèk de-san-mil mesye lame avèk banza ak boukliye defans,
18 and at his hand [is] Jehozabad, and with him one hundred and eighty thousand armed ones of the host.
epi akote li, Zozobad, avèk san-katreven-mil mesye pou fè lagè.
19 These [are] those serving the king, apart from those whom the king put in the fortress cities in all of Judah.
Se te sila ki te nan sèvis wa yo, yo pa menm konte sila ke wa a te pozisyone nan tout vil fòtifye pami tout Juda yo.
