2 Chronicles 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, —and strengthened himself against Israel;
Jozafati, mwana mobali ya Asa, akitanaki na tata na ye na bokonzi mpe alendisaki makasi na ye mpo na kobundisa Isalaele.
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.
Atiaki mampinga na ye kati na bingumba nyonso ya Yuda, oyo batonga makasi; mpe atiaki masanga ya basoda kati na mokili ya Yuda mpe kati na bingumba ya Efrayimi oyo Asa, tata na ye, abotolaki.
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;
Yawe azalaki elongo na Jozafati mpo ete, na eteni ya liboso ya bomoi na ye, alandaki ndakisa ya Davidi, tata na ye, mpe amipesaki te na banzambe Bala.
4 for, unto the God of his father, he sought, and, in his commandments, he walked, —and not according to the doing of Israel.
Kasi alukaki Nzambe ya tata na ye mpe atosaki mibeko na Ye: alandaki te makambo oyo ezalaki kosalema kati na Isalaele.
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.
Yawe alendisaki bokonzi oyo ezalaki na maboko ya Jozafati, mpe Yuda mobimba ezalaki komemela ye bakado. Akomaki na bozwi ebele mpe atondaki na lokumu.
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.
Motema na ye esepelaki makasi kotambola na banzela ya Yawe kino kolongola kati na Yuda bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba mpe makonzi ya Ashera.
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;
Na mobu ya misato ya bokonzi na ye, atindaki bakalaka na ye koteya bavandi ya bingumba ya Yuda. Ezalaki Beni-Ayili, Abidiasi, Zakari, Netaneeli mpe Mishe.
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;
Atindaki elongo na bango Balevi oyo libwa: Shemaya, Netania, Zebadia, Asaeli, Shemiramoti, Jonatan, Adoniya, Tobiya mpe Tobi-Adoniya; elongo na Banganga-Nzambe Elishama mpe Yorami.
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.
Bateyaki kati na Yuda. Wana bazalaki na buku ya Mobeko ya Yawe elongo na bango, batambolaki kati na bingumba nyonso ya Yuda mpo na koteya bato.
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.
Somo ya Yawe ekangaki bamboka nyonso oyo ezalaki zingazinga ya Yuda, mpe ekokaki lisusu te kobundisa Jozafati.
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.
Bato ya Filisitia bamemelaki Jozafati bakado mpe palata lokola mpako mpo na mokonzi; mpe bato ya Arabi bamemelaki ye bameme ya mibali nkoto sambo na nkama sambo mpe bantaba ya mibali nkoto sambo na nkama sambo.
12 And so it came to pass that, Jehoshaphat, went on waxing surpassingly great, —and he built, throughout Judah, fortresses and cities for store;
Wana nguya ya bokonzi ya Jozafati ekobaki kaka koya makasi, atongaki kati na Yuda bandako makasi mpe bingumba ya kobomba biloko.
13 and, much business, had he, throughout the cities of Judah, —but, the men of war, the heroes of valour, were in Jerusalem.
Kati na bingumba ya Yuda, azalaki na biloko ebele ya kolia; mpe kati na Yelusalemi, atiaki basoda ya mpiko.
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;
Tala motango na bango kolanda mabota na bango: Kati na libota ya Yuda, bakonzi ya bankoto: Adina, mokonzi ya basoda ya mpiko nkoto nkama misato;
15 and, under his direction, was Jehohanan the chief, —and, with him, two hundred and eighty thousand;
sima na ye, Yoanani: mokonzi ya basoda ya mpiko nkoto nkama mibale na tuku mwambe;
16 and, under his direction, Amasiah son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto Yahweh, —and, with him, two hundred thousand heroes of valour.
sima na ye, Amasia, mwana mobali ya Zikiri, oyo amikabaki ye moko epai na Yawe: mokonzi ya basoda ya mpiko nkoto nkama mibale.
17 And, out of Benjamin, a hero of valour, Eliada, —and, with him, armed with bow and buckler, two hundred thousand;
Kati na libota ya Benjame: Eliyada, elombe ya bitumba, azalaki mokonzi ya basoda ya mpiko nkoto nkama mibale oyo bazalaki na matolotolo mpe na banguba;
18 and, under his direction, Jehozabad, —and, with him, a hundred and eighty thousand, equipped for war.
Yozabadi, mokonzi ya basoda ya mpiko nkoto nkama moko na tuku mwambe.
19 These, were they who were waiting upon the king, —besides those whom the king placed in the fortified cities, throughout all Judah.
Bato oyo nyonso bazalaki kosala epai ya mokonzi lokola bakonzi ya basoda ya mpiko, bakisa ba-oyo mokonzi atiaki kati na bingumba batonga makasi ya Yuda mobimba.
