< 2 Chronicles 17 >
1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
Jehoshafati mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo uye akazvisimbisa pakurwisana neIsraeri.
2 And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
Akaisa varwi mumaguta akakomberedzwa namasvingo eJudha aya akaisa mapoka avarwi muJudha nomumaguta eEfuremu akanga atapwa nababa vake Asa.
3 And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto the Baalim;
Jehovha vaiva naJehoshafati nokuti pamazuva ake okutonga akafamba munzira dzaiteverwa nababa vake Dhavhidhi. Haana kubvunza kuna vana Bhaari.
4 but sought to the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
Asi akatsvaka Mwari wababa vake akatevera kurayira kwake akasatevera mabasa aIsraeri.
5 Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
Jehovha akasimbisa umambo hwaiva pasi pake; uye Judha yose yakauya nezvipo kuna Jehoshafati, saka akava nepfuma zhinji nokuremekedzwa kukuru.
6 And 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.
Mwoyo wake wakanga wakazvipira kunzira dzaJehovha uyezve akabvisa nzvimbo dzakakwirira namatanda aAshera kubva muJudha.
7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben-hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;
Mugore rechitatu rokutonga kwake akatuma vakuru vavabati vake vaiti Bheni-Hairi, Obhadhia, Zekaria, Netaneri naMikaya kuti vandodzidzisa mumaguta eJudha.
8 and with them the Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
Pamwe chete navo paiva navamwe vaRevhi vaiti: Shemaya, Netania, Zebhadhia, Asaheri, Shemiramoti, Jehonatani, Adhoniya, Tobhiya naTobhi-Adhoniya, uye navaprista Erishama naJehoramu.
9 And they taught in Judah, having the book of the law of the LORD with them; and they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people.
Vakadzidzisa Judha yose vaine Bhuku roMurayiro waJehovha; vakatenderera kumaguta ose aJudha vakadzidzisa vanhu.
10 And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
Kutya Jehovha kwakawira madzimambo enyika dzakanga dzakapoteredza Judha, zvokuti havana kuda kurwa naJehoshafati.
11 And 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 he-goats.
Vamwe vaFiristia vakavigira Jehoshafati zvipo nesirivha somutero, uye vaArabhu vakamuvigira mapoka amakwai aiti: zviuru zvinomwe namazana manomwe amakondobwe nezviuru zvinomwe namazana manomwe embudzi.
12 And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles and cities of store.
Jehoshafati akazova nesimba guru kwazvo; akavaka nhare namaguta amatura muJudha;
13 And he had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valour, in Jerusalem.
uye akaita mabasa mazhinji mumaguta eJudha. Aivawo navarwi vane ruzivo rwokurwa muJerusarema.
14 And 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 valour three hundred thousand:
Kunyoreswa kwavo nemhuri dzavo kwakanga kwakadai: Kubva kuJudha, vatungamiri vamapoka avarwi chiuru: Adhina mutungamiri aiva navarwi zviuru mazana matatu;
15 and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand:
aitevera ndiJehohanani mutungamiri aiva navarwi zviuru mazana maviri namakumi masere;
16 and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour:
aitevera ndiAmasia mwanakomana waZikiri, uyo akazvipira kushandira Jehovha, aina varwi zviuru mazana maviri.
17 And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield:
Kubva kuBhenjamini: Eriadha murwi akanga akashinga, aiva murwi aiva navarwi zviuru mazana maviri vakanga vakabata uta nenhoo;
18 and next to him Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for war.
aitevera ndiJehozabhadhi navarume zviuru zana namakumi masere vakagadzirira kurwa hondo.
19 These were they that waited on the king, beside those whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.
Ava ndivo varume vaibatira mambo, tisingaverengi avo vaakaisa mumaguta ane masvingo muJudha yose.
