2 Chronicles 17
1 Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king in his place. Jehoshaphat strengthened himself against Israel.
Nandimbe aze nifehe t’Iehosafate anadahi’ey, le nihafatratse am’ Israele.
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.
Nampipoha’e lahindefoñe iaby o rova-fatrats’ Iehodao naho nampijadoña’e firimboñañe an-tane Iehoda ao vaho amo rova’ i Efraime rinambe’ i Asa rae’eo.
3 Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and did not seek the Baals.
Nindre am’ Iehosafate t’Iehovà, amy te nañaveloe’e o sata’ i Davide rae’e valoha’eo, le tsy pinai’e o Baaleo;
4 Instead, he relied on the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, not after the behavior of Israel.
nitsoeha’e t’i Andrianañaharen-drae’e, nañaveloe’e o lili’eo vaho tsy nanoe’e o sata’ Israeleo.
5 So Yahweh established the rule in his hand; all Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat. He had riches and honor in abundance.
Aa le najado’ Iehovà am-pità’e i fifeheañey; le ninday ravoravo am’ Iehosafate t’Iehoda iaby ie nanam-bara naho engeñe ra’elahy.
6 His heart was committed to Yahweh's ways. He also removed the high places and the Asherah poles from Judah.
Le naonjoñe amo sata’ Iehovào ty arofo’e; mbore nafaha’e boake Iehoda ao o tambohoo naho o Aserào.
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.
Ie tan-taom-paha-telo’ i fifehea’ey, le nirahe’e o roandria’eo, i Benekaile naho i Obadia naho i Zekarià naho i Netanele vaho i Mikaià hañoke amo rova Iehodao.
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.
Nindre am’ iereo o nte-Levio; i Semaià naho i Netanià naho i Zebadià naho i Asahele naho i Semiramote naho Iehonatane naho i Adoniià naho i Tobiià vaho i Tobadonià, nte-Levy; nitraok’ am’ iereo t’i Elisamà naho Iehorame mpisoroñe,
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.
nañanatse e Iehodà ao, le am’ iereo ty boke’ i Hà’ Iehovà; nitsitsihe’ iereo o rova’ Iehodà iabio, nañoke ondatio.
10 Terror of Yahweh fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
Nivotrak’ amo fonga fifeheañe naho tane mañohoke am’ Iehodao ty firevendreveñañe Iehovà vaho tsy eo ty nialy am’ Iehosafate.
11 Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver as tribute. Arabians also brought him flocks, 7,700 rams, and 7,700 goats.
Nandesa’ ty ila’ o nte-Pelistio ravoravo naho haba am-bolafoty; ninday hare o nte-Arabeo: añondrilahy fito-arivo-tsi-fitonjato naho oselahy fito-arivo-tsi-fitonjato.
12 Jehoshaphat became very powerful. He built fortresses and store cities in Judah.
Nitoabotse avao ty enge’ Iehosafate; le namboare’e e Iehoda ao ty rova fatratse naho rovam-pañajàñe.
13 He had many supplies in the cities of Judah, and soldiers—strong, mighty men—in Jerusalem.
Nimaro ty tolon-draha’e amo rova’ Iehodao vaho inao o lahindefoñe, fanalolahy maozatse e Ierosalaimeo.
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;
Le zao ty famoliliañe iareo ty aman’ anjomban-droae’e: am’ Iehoda, o mpifelek’ arivoo: i Adnà mpiaolo, reketse fanalolahy mahasibeke telo-hetse;
15 next to him Jehohanan the commander, and with him 280,000 men;
nanonjohy aze t’Iehohanane mpiaolo reketse roe-hetse-tsi-valo-ale;
16 next to him Amasiah son of Zichri, who willingly offered to serve Yahweh; and with him 200,000 fighting men.
nañorik’ aze t’i Amasià, ana’ i Zikrý, mpanolo-batañe ho am’ Iehovà, fanalolahy maozatse roe-hetse ty tama’e;
17 From Benjamin: Eliada a powerful man of courage, and with him 200,000 armed with bows and shields;
le amy Beniamine, i Eliada, lahindefo maozatse nahasibeke, reketse mpitàm-pale naho fikalandefoñe roe-hetse;
18 next to him Jehozabad, and with him 180,000 ready prepared for war.
le añ’ila’e t’Iehozabade reketse rai-hetse-tsi-valo-ale veka’e hialy.
19 These were those who served the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
Irezay ro nitoroñe i mpanjakay mandikoatse o napo’e amo rova fatratse nanitsike Iehodào iabio.
