2 Chronicles 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, —and strengthened himself against Israel;
Onda se na njegovo mjesto zakralji sin mu Jošafat; on pokaza svoju silu protiv Izraela.
2 and put 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 captured.
Razmjestio je vojsku po svim utvrđenim judejskim gradovima i postavio namjesnike po judejskoj zemlji i po Efrajimovim gradovima, koje bijaše zauzeo otac mu Asa.
3 And it came to pass, that, Yahweh, was with Jehoshaphat, —because he walked in the first ways of David his father, and sought not unto the Baalim;
Jahve je bio s Jošafatom jer je hodio pravim putovima svoga oca Davida i nije tražio baala.
4 for, unto the God of his father, he sought, and, in his commandments, he walked, —and not according to the doing of Israel.
Tražio je Boga svojih otaca i hodio po njegovim zapovijedima, ne čineći kao Izraelovi sinovi.
5 Therefore did Yahweh establish the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah gave a present unto Jehoshaphat, —and he came to have riches and honour, in abundance.
Zato je Jahve utvrdio kraljevstvo u njegovoj ruci, pa su svi Judejci davali Jošafatu danak, tako da je stekao veliko bogatstvo i slavu.
6 And his heart was encouraged, in the ways of Yahweh, —and he, yet further, took away the high places and the Sacred Stems, out of Judah.
Njegovo se srce hrabrilo na Jahvinim putovima, pa je uklonio još i uzvišice i ašere iz Judeje.
7 And, in the third year of his reign, he sent to his rulers, even to Ben-hail and to Obadiah and to Zechariah, and to Nethanel, and to Micaiah, —that they were to teach throughout the cities of Judah;
Treće godine kraljevanja posla knezove Ben-Hajila, Obadju, Zahariju, Netanela i Miheja da uče po judejskim gradovima.
8 and, with them, Levites, Shemaiah and Nethaniah and Zebadiah and Asahel and Shemiramoth and Jehonathan, and Adonijah and Tobijah and Tob-adonijah, Levites, —and, with them, Elishama and Jehoram, priests;
I s njima levite: Šemaju, Netaniju, Zebadju, Asahela, Šemiramota, Jonatana, Adoniju, Tobiju i Tob Adoniju; a s njima svećenike Elišamu i Jorama.
9 and they taught throughout Judah, and, with them, was the book of the law of Yahweh, —so they went round throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.
Poučavali su po Judeji noseći sa sobom Knjigu Zakona Jahvina i obilazili sve judejske gradove učeći narod.
10 And it came to pass, that, the dread of Yahweh, was upon all the kingdoms of the countries, that were round about Judah, —and they warred not against Jehoshaphat.
Jahvin je strah spopao sva zemaljska kraljevstva oko Judeje, tako da nisu smjela zaratiti na Jošafata.
11 And, from among the Philistines, were they bringing in unto Jehoshaphat a present, and silver as tribute, —even the Arabians, were bringing in unto him flocks, seven thousand seven hundred rams, and seven thousand seven hundred he-goats.
Sami su mu neki Filistejci donosili darove i novčani danak, a Arapi mu dogonili sitnu stoku: po sedam tisuća i sedam stotina ovnova te sedam tisuća i sedam stotina jaraca.
12 And so it came to pass that, Jehoshaphat, went on waxing surpassingly great, —and he built, throughout Judah, fortresses and cities for store;
Tako je Jošafat sve više napredovao dok ne postade vrlo velik. Sazidao je u Judeji kule i gradove-skladišta.
13 and, much business, had he, throughout the cities of Judah, —but, the men of war, the heroes of valour, were in Jerusalem.
Imao je mnogo zaliha u judejskim gradovima, a hrabrih junaka u Jeruzalemu.
14 And, these, are the numbers of them, by their ancestral house, —To Judah, pertained rulers of thousands, Adnah the chief, and, with him, mighty men of valour, three hundred thousand;
Evo njihova popisa po obiteljima: od Judina plemena tisućnici: vojvoda Adna i s njim trista tisuća hrabrih junaka;
15 and, under his direction, was Jehohanan the chief, —and, with him, two hundred and eighty thousand;
do njega vojvoda Johanan i s njim dvjesta i osamdeset tisuća;
16 and, under his direction, Amasiah son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto Yahweh, —and, with him, two hundred thousand heroes of valour.
za njim Zikrijev sin Amasja, koji se spremno stavio u Jahvinu službu, a s njim dvjesta tisuća hrabrih junaka.
17 And, out of Benjamin, a hero of valour, Eliada, —and, with him, armed with bow and buckler, two hundred thousand;
Od Benjaminova plemena: hrabri junak Eliada i s njim dvjesta tisuća ljudi naoružanih lukom i štitom;
18 and, under his direction, Jehozabad, —and, with him, a hundred and eighty thousand, equipped for war.
za njim Jehozabad i s njim sto i osamdeset tisuća pripravnih za boj.
19 These, were they who were waiting upon the king, —besides those whom the king placed in the fortified cities, throughout all Judah.
To su oni koji su služili kralju, ne brojeći one što ih je kralj namjestio u tvrdim gradovima po svoj Judeji.
