2 Chronicles 17
1 Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king in his place. Jehoshaphat strengthened himself against Israel.
Yekosafaati mutabani wa Asa n’asikira Asa bw’atyo n’afuuka kabaka, n’okwenyweza ne yeenyweza eri Isirayiri.
2 He placed 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.
N’ateeka abaserikale mu bibuga ebiriko bbugwe ebya Yuda, n’ateeka n’eggye mu Yuda, ne mu bibuga ebya Efulayimu, kitaawe Asa bye yali awambye.
3 Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and did not seek the Baals.
Mukama n’abeera wamu ne Yekosafaati kubanga mu buto bwe yatambuliranga mu makubo ga jjajjaawe Dawudi ge yatambulirangamu. Teyeebuuza ku Babaali,
4 Instead, he relied on the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, not after the behavior of Israel.
naye yanoonya Katonda wa kitaawe, era n’agoberera amateeka ge okusinga engeri za Isirayiri.
5 So Yahweh established the rule in his hand; all Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat. He had riches and honor in abundance.
Mukama n’anyweza obwakabaka mu mukono gwe, era Yuda yenna ne baleetera Yekosafaati ebirabo, n’aba n’obugagga bungi n’ekitiibwa kinene.
6 His heart was committed to Yahweh's ways. He also removed the high places and the Asherah poles from Judah.
Omutima gwe ne gunywerera mu kkubo lya Mukama, n’okuggyawo n’aggyawo ebifo ebigulumivu n’ebifaananyi bya Baasera mu Yuda.
7 In the third year of his reign he sent his officials Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.
Mu mwaka ogwokusatu ogw’obufuzi bwe, n’atuma abakungu be bano: Benikayiri, ne Obadiya, ne Zekkaliya, ne Nesaneeri, ne Mikaaya okugenda nga bayigiriza mu bibuga bya Yuda.
8 With them were Levites: Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-Adonijah; and with them were the priests Elishama and Jehoram.
Ne wabaawo n’Abaleevi abagenda nabo: Semaaya, ne Nesaniya, ne Zebadiya, ne Asakeri, ne Semiramoosi, ne Yekonasaani, ne Adoniya, ne Tobbiya, ne Tobadoniya, wamu ne Erisaama ne Yekolaamu.
9 They taught in Judah, having the book of the law of Yahweh with them. They went about throughout all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.
Ne bayigiriza mu Yuda yonna, nga bakozesa Ekitabo ekya Mateeka ga Mukama; ne babuna mu bibuga byonna ebya Yuda ne bayigiriza abantu.
10 Terror of Yahweh fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
Awo entiisa ya Mukama n’egwa ku bwakabaka obw’amawanga agaali geetoolodde Yuda, ne batakola ntalo na Yekosafaati.
11 Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver as tribute. Arabians also brought him flocks, 7,700 rams, and 7,700 goats.
Abamu ku Bafirisuuti ne baleetera Yekosafaati ebirabo, ne ffeeza ng’omusolo, ate Abawalabu ne bamuleetera ebisibo eby’endiga ennume kasanvu mu lusanvu, n’embuzi kasanvu mu lusanvu.
12 Jehoshaphat became very powerful. He built fortresses and store cities in Judah.
Yekosafaati ne yeeyongeranga amaanyi, n’azimba ebigo n’ebibuga eby’amaterekero mu Yuda,
13 He had many supplies in the cities of Judah, and soldiers—strong, mighty men—in Jerusalem.
n’abeera n’ebyamaguzi bingi ddala mu bibuga bya Yuda. Yalina n’abaserikale abatendeke mu Yerusaalemi nga bazira.
14 These were their divisions listed by the name of their fathers' houses: From Judah, the commanders of thousands; Adnah the commander, and with him 300,000 fighting men;
Okubalibwa ng’enju za bakitaabwe bwe zaali kwali bwe kuti: Okuva mu Yuda, abaduumizi ab’ebibinja eby’olukumi baali: Aduna omuduumizi ow’abasajja abalwanyi emitwalo amakumi asatu,
15 next to him Jehohanan the commander, and with him 280,000 men;
n’eyamuddiriranga yali Yekokanani omuduumizi ow’abasajja emitwalo amakumi abiri mu munaana;
16 next to him Amasiah son of Zichri, who willingly offered to serve Yahweh; and with him 200,000 fighting men.
n’eyamuddiriranga yali Amasiya mutabani wa Zikuli, eyeewaayo obwebange okuweerezanga Mukama, omuduumizi ow’abasajja emitwalo amakumi abiri.
17 From Benjamin: Eliada a powerful man of courage, and with him 200,000 armed with bows and shields;
Okuva mu Benyamini: Eriyada, omuserikale omuzira, eyaduumiranga abasajja ab’obusaale n’engabo emitwalo amakumi abiri,
18 next to him Jehozabad, and with him 180,000 ready prepared for war.
n’eyamuddiriranga ye yali Yekozabadi eyaduumiranga abasajja emitwalo kkumi na munaana abaali beeteeseteese okulwana.
19 These were those who served the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
Abo be basajja abaaweerezanga kabaka, obutassaako abo abaali mu bibuga ebyaliko bbugwe n’ebigo okubuna Yuda yonna.
