< 2 Chronicles 17 >
1 Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel.
E Josaphat seu filho reinou em seu logar: e fortificou-se contra Israel.
2 He placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
E poz gente de guerra em todas as cidades fortes de Judah e poz guarnições na terra de Judah, como tambem nas cidades d'Ephraim, que Asa seu pae tinha tomado.
3 The LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father, and did not seek the Baals,
E o Senhor foi com Josaphat; porque andou nos primeiros caminhos de David seu pae, e não buscou a Baalim.
4 but sought to the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
Antes buscou ao Deus de seu pae, e andou nos seus mandamentos, e não segundo as obras d'Israel.
5 Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat tribute; and he had riches and honor in abundance.
E o Senhor confirmou o reino na sua mão, e todo o Judah deu presentes a Josaphat: e teve riquezas e gloria em abundancia.
6 His heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: and furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.
E exaltou-se o seu coração nos caminhos do Senhor e ainda de mais tirou os altos e os bosques de Judah.
7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent his officials, even Ben Hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;
E no terceiro anno do seu reinado enviou elle os seus principes, a Benchail, e a Obadias, e a Zacharias, e a Nathanael, e a Michaia, para ensinarem nas cidades de Judah.
8 and with them the Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
E com elles os levitas, Semaias e Nethanias, e Zebadias, e Asael, e Semiramoth, e Jonathan, e Adonias, e Tobias, e Tobadonias, levitas: e com elles os sacerdotes, Elisama e Jorão.
9 They taught in Judah, having the scroll of the law of the LORD with them; and they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people.
E ensinaram em Judah e tinham comsigo o livro da lei do Senhor: e rodearam todas as cidades de Judah, e ensinaram entre o povo.
10 The fear of the LORD fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
E veiu o temor do Senhor sobre todos os reinos das terras, que estavam em roda de Judah e não guerrearam contra Josaphat.
11 Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver for tribute; the Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred male goats.
E alguns d'entre os philisteos traziam presentes a Josaphat, com o dinheiro do tributo: tambem os arabios lhe trouxeram gado miudo; sete mil e setecentos carneiros, e sete mil e setecentos bodes.
12 Jehoshaphat grew great exceedingly; and he built in Judah fortresses and cities of store.
Cresceu pois Josaphat e se engrandeceu extremamente: e edificou fortalezas e cidades de munições em Judah.
13 He had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem.
E teve muitas obras nas cidades de Judah e gente de guerra, varões valentes em Jerusalem.
14 This was the numbering of them according to their fathers' houses: Of Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him mighty men of valor three hundred thousand;
E este é o numero d'elles segundo as casas de seu paes: em Judah eram chefes dos milhares: o chefe Adna, e com elle trezentos mil varões valentes;
15 and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred eighty thousand;
E após elle o chefe Johanan, e com elle duzentos e oitenta mil;
16 and next to him Amasiah the son of Zikri, who willingly offered himself to the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
E após elle Amasias, filho de Zichri, que voluntariamente se entregou ao Senhor, e com elle duzentos mil varões valentes:
17 Of Benjamin: Eliada a mighty man of valor, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
E de Benjamin Eliada, varão valente, e com elle duzentos mil, armados d'arco e d'escudo:
18 and next to him Jehozabad and with him one hundred eighty thousand ready prepared for war.
E após elle Jozabad: e com elle cento e oitenta mil armados para a guerra.
19 These were those who waited on the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
Estes estavam no serviço do rei; afóra os que o rei tinha posto nas cidades fortes por todo o Judah.
