2 Chronicles 17
1 And he became king Jehoshaphat son his in place of him and he strengthened himself on Israel.
Jozafa, pitit Asa, moute wa nan plas papa l'. Li ranfòse pozisyon l' devan peyi Izrayèl la.
2 And he put an army in all [the] cities of Judah fortified and he put garrisons in [the] land of Judah and in [the] cities of Ephraim which he had captured Asa father his.
Li mete sòlda nan tout lavil ki gen ranpa nan peyi Jida a, li mete gouvènè nan tout peyi Jida a ak nan tout lavil Asa, papa l', te pran nan peyi Efrayim lan.
3 And he was Yahweh with Jehoshaphat for he walked in [the] ways of David ancestor his former and not he sought the Baals.
Seyè a te kanpe avèk Jozafa, paske li te fè tankou David, granpapa l', nan konmansman rèy li. Li pa t' kouri dèyè Baal yo.
4 For [the] God of father his he sought and in commandments his he walked and not according to [the] deed[s] of Israel.
Li t'ap chache tout jan pou li te sèvi Bondye zansèt li a. Li te mache dapre lòd Bondye bay yo, li pa t' fè tankou wa Izrayèl yo.
5 And he established Yahweh the kingdom in hand his and they gave all Judah tribute to Jehoshaphat and it belonged to him wealth and honor to abundance.
Seyè a bay gouvènman l' lan fòs. Nan peyi Jida a, tout moun t'ap pote kado ba li. Konsa, li te vin gen anpil byen. Tout moun t'ap fè lwanj li.
6 And it was high heart his in [the] ways of Yahweh and again he removed the high places and the Asherah poles from Judah.
Li te pran plezi l' nan fè volonte Seyè a. Li fè disparèt tout kote yo t'ap sèvi zidòl nan peyi Jida a, ansanm ak tout estati Achera yo.
7 And in year three of reigning his he sent officials his Ben-Hail and Obadiah and Zechariah and Nethanel and Micaiah to teach in [the] cities of Judah.
Li te gen twazan depi li te wa lè li voye kèk chèf nan tout lavil peyi Jida yo pou moutre pèp la sa pou l' fè. Men non chèf yo: Se te Bennayil, Obadya, Zekaraya, Netaneyèl ak Mikaya.
8 And [were] with them the Levites Shemaiah and Nethaniah and Zebadiah and Asahel (and Shemiramoth *Q(K)*) and Jonathan and Adonijah and Tobijah and Tob-Adonijah the Levites and [were] with them Elishama and Jehoram the priests.
Yo te gen nèf moun Levi ak de prèt ak yo. Moun Levi yo te rele Chemaya, Netanya, Zebadya, Asayèl, Chemiramòt, Jonatan, Adonija, Tobija ak Tobadonija. Prèt yo te rele: Elichama ak Joram.
9 And they taught in Judah and [was] with them [the] book of [the] law of Yahweh and they went round in all [the] cities of Judah and they taught among the people.
Avèk liv lalwa Seyè a nan men yo, yo mache nan tout peyi a, yo ale nan tout lavil yo pou moutre pèp la sa pou li fè.
10 And it was - [the] dread of Yahweh on all [the] kingdoms of the lands which [were] around Judah and not they waged war with Jehoshaphat.
Tout gouvènman peyi ki te vwazen ak peyi Jida a te sitèlman pè Seyè a, yo yonn pa chache fè lagè ak wa Jozafa.
11 And some of [the] Philistines [were] bringing to Jehoshaphat tribute and silver a load also the Arabs [were] bringing to him flock[s] rams seven thousand and seven hundred and male goats seven thousand and seven hundred.
Lekontrè, te gen anpil moun Filisti ki te pote anpil kado ak anpil ajan ba li tankou si li te chèf yo. Ata moun peyi Arabi yo te pote sètmil sètsan (7.700) mouton ak sètmil sètsan (7.700) kabrit fè l' kado.
12 And it was Jehoshaphat [was] going and [was] becoming great to upwards and he built in Judah fortresses and cities of storage.
Se konsa, pouvwa Jozafa a t'ap vin pi fò chak jou. Nan tout peyi Jida a, li bati sitadèl ak lavil pou sèvi l' depo.
13 And property much it belonged to him in [the] cities of Judah and men of war mighty [men] of strength [were] in Jerusalem.
Li te gen pwovizyon an kantite nan tout lavil peyi a. Nan lavil Jerizalèm menm, li te gen anpil vanyan sòlda.
14 And these [were] group[s] their to [the] house of ancestors their of Judah commanders of thousands Adnah [was] the commander and [were] with him mighty [men] of strength three hundred thousand.
Men kantite ki te genyen dapre branch fanmi yo: Te gen Adna, kòmandan tout chèf batayon branch fanmi Jida a ak twasanmil (300.000) sòlda sou zòd li.
15 And on hand his Jehohanan the commander and with him two hundred and eighty thousand.
Li te gen avè l' Jokanan avèk desankatrevenmil (280.000) sòlda sou zòd li.
16 And on hand his Amasiah [the] son of Zikri who volunteered to Yahweh and with him two hundred thousand mighty [man] of strength.
Avè l' toujou te gen Amasya, pitit Zikri a, ak desanmil (200.000) sòlda. Amasya sa a te pote tèt li limenm, san pesonn pa t' mande l' pou sèvi Seyè a.
17 And from Benjamin a mighty [man] of strength Eliada and with him [men] equipped of bow and shield two hundred thousand.
Alatèt moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo te gen Elyada, yon vanyan sòlda, ak desanmil (200.000) sòlda ki te gen plak pwotèj ak banza.
18 And on hand his Jehozabad and with him one hundred and eighty thousand [men] equipped of war.
Avè l' te gen Jeozabad avèk sankatrevenmil (180.000) sòlda byen ame pou lagè.
19 These [were] the [ones who] served the king besides [those] whom he put the king in [the] cities of fortification in all Judah.
Se moun sa yo ki t'ap sèvi wa a lavil Jerizalèm, san konte lòt sòlda wa a te mete an ganizon nan lòt lavil ak ranpa nan peyi Jida a.
