2 Chronicles 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, —and strengthened himself against Israel;
Jehoshaphat seu filho reinava em seu lugar, e se fortalecia contra Israel.
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.
Ele colocou forças em todas as cidades fortificadas de Judá, e colocou guarnições na terra de Judá e nas cidades de Efraim, que Asa seu pai havia tomado.
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;
Yahweh estava com Jeosafá, porque ele andou nos primeiros caminhos de seu pai Davi, e não procurou os Baal,
4 for, unto the God of his father, he sought, and, in his commandments, he walked, —and not according to the doing of Israel.
mas procurou o Deus de seu pai, e andou nos seus mandamentos, e não nos caminhos de Israel.
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.
Portanto Yahweh estabeleceu o reino em sua mão. Todo Judá trouxe tributo a Jeosafá, e ele tinha riquezas e honra em abundância.
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.
Seu coração foi levantado nos caminhos de Iavé. Além disso, ele tirou os lugares altos e os bastões de Asherah de Judá.
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;
Também no terceiro ano de seu reinado ele enviou seus príncipes, até Ben Hail, Obadiah, Zacarias, Nethanel e Micaías, para ensinar nas cidades de Judá;
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;
e com eles os levitas, até mesmo Semaías, Netanias, Zebadias, Asael, Semiramote, Jeonatã, Adonias, Tobias e Tobadonias, os levitas; e com eles Elishama e Jeorão, os sacerdotes.
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.
Eles ensinaram em Judá, tendo o livro da lei de Yahweh com eles. Eles andaram por todas as cidades de Judá e ensinaram entre o povo.
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.
O medo de Javé caiu sobre todos os reinos das terras que estavam ao redor de Judá, de modo que eles não fizeram nenhuma guerra contra Jeosafá.
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.
Alguns filisteus trouxeram presentes de Jeosafá e prata para homenagear. Os árabes também lhe trouxeram rebanhos: sete mil setecentos carneiros e sete mil setecentos caprinos machos.
12 And so it came to pass that, Jehoshaphat, went on waxing surpassingly great, —and he built, throughout Judah, fortresses and cities for store;
Jehoshaphat cresceu excessivamente; e construiu fortalezas e armazena cidades em Judá.
13 and, much business, had he, throughout the cities of Judah, —but, the men of war, the heroes of valour, were in Jerusalem.
Ele tinha muitas obras nas cidades de Judá; e homens de guerra, poderosos homens de valor, em Jerusalém.
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;
Esta era a numeração deles de acordo com as casas de seus pais: De Judá, os capitães de milhares: Adnah o capitão, e com ele trezentos mil homens valentes;
15 and, under his direction, was Jehohanan the chief, —and, with him, two hundred and eighty thousand;
e ao seu lado Jehohanan o capitão, e com ele duzentos e oitenta mil;
16 and, under his direction, Amasiah son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto Yahweh, —and, with him, two hundred thousand heroes of valour.
e ao seu lado Amasias o filho de Zicri, que voluntariamente se ofereceu a Javé, e com ele duzentos mil homens valentes.
17 And, out of Benjamin, a hero of valour, Eliada, —and, with him, armed with bow and buckler, two hundred thousand;
De Benjamim: Eliada, um homem poderoso e valoroso, e com ele duzentos mil armados com arco e escudo;
18 and, under his direction, Jehozabad, —and, with him, a hundred and eighty thousand, equipped for war.
e ao seu lado Jehozabad, e com ele cento e oitenta mil prontos e preparados para a guerra.
19 These, were they who were waiting upon the king, —besides those whom the king placed in the fortified cities, throughout all Judah.
Estes foram os que esperaram pelo rei, além daqueles que o rei colocou nas cidades fortificadas em todo o Judá.
