2 Chronicles 17
1 Asa’s son Jehoshaphat became the king [of Judah], and he enabled his army to become very strong, with the result that they could resist attacks from [the army of] Israel.
Chuin Asa chapa Jehosophat chu abanin lengin ahugpang in, ama chun Israel ten ahin nokhum tengule dinjou nadingin Judah techu ahatsah ben ahi.
2 He put soldiers in all the cities in Judah around which they had built walls, and he put soldiers in other places in Judah and in the towns in the area belonging to the tribe of Ephraim that [soldiers of] his father Asa had captured.
Judah gamsunga kulpi kigen khopi jousea a sepai ho chu atousah in, chule Judah gam'a apa Asa in ana lah Ephraim gam'a khopiho ngah ding mi anganse be in ahi.
3 Yahweh helped Jehoshaphat because when he started [to rule Judah], he did the things that pleased Yahweh like his ancestor [King] David had done. He did not worship the idols of Baal.
Pakaiyin Jehosophat chu aumpie. Ajeh chu apan alengchan tillai kum hoa vetjui thei ho ajuijeh chun Pakaiyin Jehoshaphat chu aumpin ahi, chule aman Baal lim semthu ahou pon ahi.
4 Instead, he sought advice from the God whom his father [had worshiped], and he obeyed God’s commands, and did not do the [evil things that the kings of] Israel continually did.
Israel lenggamma thilse abolluva achonset nau juilou vin apa Pathen ahollin athupeh ho ajuiyin ahi.
5 Yahweh enabled him to completely control his kingdom. All [the people of] Judah brought gifts to him, with the result that he became very rich and was greatly honored.
Hiti chun Pakaiyin Judah lenggam chunga vaihom dingin Jehosophat chu atungdoh tan, Judah mite jousen Jehosophat chu kipa thilpeh ahin pohpeh un; hitichun ama chu haosa tah le sangtah’a ginle ja in aumtan ahi.
6 He was completely devoted to doing what pleased Yahweh. His workers got rid of the shrines on the hilltops and the poles for [worshiping the goddess] Asherah throughout Judah.
Ama chu giltah’in Pakai lampi hoa akipelut jengin ahi. Aman Judah gamsunga milim doi houna jamona lim ma kisem Asherah khom ho aladoh soh keitai.
7 When he had been ruling [Judah] for almost three years, he sent some of his officials—Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah—to teach the people in various towns in Judah.
Jehosophat Leng chan kal kum thum lhin kum chun, Judah khopi jousea amilen amilal ho chu mihil dingin asollin ahi. Hiche Milen milal ho chu Benhiel, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nathaniel chule Micaiah ahiuve. Elishana le Jeroboam thempu teni jong asoldoh in ahi.
8 With them he sent several descendants of Levi—Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-Adonijah—and two priests, Elishama and Jehoram.
Amaho chengtoh asoltha Levi techu ahile Shemiah, Nethaniah, Zebediah, Asahel, Shemaramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tabijah chule To-adonijah ahiuve.
9 They took with them a scroll on which were written the laws of Yahweh and taught them to the people in all the towns throughout Judah,
Amahon Pakai danbu chu akipoh un, chuin Judah gam sunga khopi ho jousea chon leuvin miho chu thu ahillun ahi.
10 The people in all the kingdoms surrounding Judah became very afraid of [what Yahweh might do to punish them if they fought against Judah], so they did not start wars with Jehoshaphat’s army.
Chuti chun akim vella lenggam jouse chunga chun, Pakai ginna chu achutan, hijeh chun Jehosophat douna khat beh in jong gal abolnom tapouve.
11 Some people from Philistia brought gifts to Jehoshaphat, and they also brought to him the silver that he demanded that they pay to him. Some Arabs brought to him 7,700 rams and 7,700 goats.
Palestine gam'a mi phabep khat kipa thilpeh le dangka ama jabolna chun ahinpouvin, chule Arab mite chun kelngoi chal ja sagi le kelchal sang sagi le jasagi ahin poh peh uvin ahi.
12 Jehoshaphat continued to become more powerful/influential. His workers built forts and places to store supplies in various towns in Judah.
Hitichun Jehosophat chu athahat cheh cheh jengin, chule kulpi le thilkholna khopi ho chu Judah gamsung pumpia chun asabe jing in ahi.
13 Then they put large amounts of supplies in those storehouses. Jehoshaphat also placed in Jerusalem soldiers who were experienced.
Judah khopi ho achun nehle chah atama tam akoiyin, thepna sangtah nei sepai hon ho chu Jerusalem a chun atousah in ahi. A sepai ho chu apu apa lhah’a phungkhai dungjuiyin aminnu akhumpeh in ahi.
14 The leaders and numbers from each tribe were as follows: From the tribe of Judah, Adnah was the leader of the soldiers, and he commanded 300,000 soldiers.
Judah phunga konin sepai sang jathum, honkhatna sangkhat cheh chu Adnah lamkaina noija aum uvin ahi.
15 His assistant was Jehohanan, who commanded 280,000 soldiers.
Ama noichetna lamkai chu Jehohanan ahin, aman sepai sang jani le sang somget alamkai in ahi.
16 Next was Zicri’s son Amasiah, who volunteered to serve Yahweh in this way; he commanded 200,000 soldiers.
Abana Zecri chapa Amaniah chu ama chammin Pakai natong dingin ahung kipeldoh in, ama lamkai na noiya chun sang jani aumin ahi.
17 From the tribe of Benjamin, Eliada, who was a brave soldier, was the leader of the soldiers; he commanded 200,000 men who had bows [and arrows] and shields.
Benjamin phunga konin thalpi le pho mangcha sepai sang jani aumme, amaho chu sepai tamtah Eleada lamkai na noiya um ahiuve.
18 Next was Jehozabad, who commanded 180,000 men who had weapons for fighting battles.
Abanna chun Jehojabad chu ahin, aman gal manchah choi mi sang jakhat le sang somget alamkai jin ahi.
19 Those were the soldiers who served the king [in Jerusalem], in addition to the men whom the king had placed in the other cities in Judah that had walls around them.
Sepai hijat hi Jerusalem a lengpan amanchah ahin, hiche chungchonna hin Jehosophat chun Judah gam pumpia kulpi kigen khopihoa jong atousah in ahi.
