2 Chronicles 17
1 Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king in his place. Jehoshaphat strengthened himself against Israel.
Pea naʻe pule ʻa Sihosafate ko hono foha ko hono fetongi, pea naʻa ne fakamālohi ʻe ia ia ki ʻIsileli.
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.
Pea naʻa ne vahe ʻae kautau [ke nofo ]ki he ngaahi kolotau kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, ʻo ne vahe ʻae ngaahi kongakau leʻo ʻi he fonua ʻo Siuta, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻaia naʻe lavaʻi ʻe ʻAsa ko ʻene tamai.
3 Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and did not seek the Baals.
Pea naʻe ʻia Sihosafate ʻa Sihova, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi ʻuluaki anga ʻo ʻene tamai ko Tevita, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne kumi kia Peali;
4 Instead, he relied on the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, not after the behavior of Israel.
Ka naʻe kumi ʻe ia kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻene tamai, pea ne ʻalu ʻi heʻene ngaahi fekau, pea naʻe ʻikai fakatatau ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻIsileli.
5 So Yahweh established the rule in his hand; all Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat. He had riches and honor in abundance.
Ko ia naʻe fakatuʻumaʻu ʻe Sihova ʻae puleʻanga ʻi hono nima: pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Siuta kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa kia Sihosafate: pea maʻu ʻe ia ʻae koloa mo e nāunau ke lahi ʻaupito.
6 His heart was committed to Yahweh's ways. He also removed the high places and the Asherah poles from Judah.
Pea naʻe hiki hake hono loto ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Sihova: pea naʻa ne liʻaki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga mo e ngaahi vao tapu mei Siuta.
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.
Pea ʻi hono tolu taʻu ʻo ʻene pule foki, naʻa ne fekau ki hono houʻeiki, ʻio, kia Peniheili, pea kia ʻOpataia, pea kia Sakalia, pea kia Netanili, pea mo Mikaia, ke ako ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta.
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.
Pea naʻa ne fekau mo kinautolu ʻae kau Livai, ʻio, ʻa Simaia, mo Netania, mo Sepatia, mo ʻAsaeli, mo Similamoti, mo Sihonatani, mo ʻAtonisa, mo Topisa, mo Tope ʻAtonisa, ko e kau Livai: pea ʻalu mo kinautolu ʻa ʻIlisama mo Siholami, ko e ongo taulaʻeiki.
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.
Pea naʻa nau fai ʻae ako ʻi Siuta, ʻonau maʻu ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tohi ʻoe fono ʻa Sihova: pea naʻa nau ʻalu fano ʻi he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, ʻonau ako ki he kakai.
10 Terror of Yahweh fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
Pea naʻe tō ʻae manavahē kia Sihova ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi fonua naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻi Siuta: ko ia naʻe ʻikai langaʻi ai ha tau kia Sihosafate.
11 Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver as tribute. Arabians also brought him flocks, 7,700 rams, and 7,700 goats.
Pea ko e kau Filisitia niʻihi naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa kia Sihosafate, mo e siliva tukuhau: pea naʻe ʻomi kiate ia ʻe he kakai ʻAlepea ʻae fanga manu, ko e sipitangata ʻe fitu afe, mo e fitungeau, mo e kosi tangata ʻe fitu afe mo e fitungeau.
12 Jehoshaphat became very powerful. He built fortresses and store cities in Judah.
Pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau ki muʻa ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻa Sihosafate: pea naʻe langa ʻe ia ʻi Siuta ʻae ngaahi fale māʻolunga, mo e ngaahi kolo tukunga meʻa.
13 He had many supplies in the cities of Judah, and soldiers—strong, mighty men—in Jerusalem.
Pea naʻe lahi ʻene ngāue ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta: pea naʻe [nofo ]ʻi Selūsalema ʻae kau tangata tau, ʻae kau toʻa mālohi.
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;
Pea ko hono lau eni ʻokinautolu ʻo fakatatau ki he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai: Ko e kau ʻeiki pule ʻoe ngaahi toko afe ʻo Siuta: ko ʻAtina, ko e tuʻukimuʻa, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kau tangata toʻa mālohi ko e toko tolu kilu.
15 next to him Jehohanan the commander, and with him 280,000 men;
Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻa Sihohanani ko e ʻeikitau, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae toko ua kilu, mo e toko valu mano.
16 next to him Amasiah son of Zichri, who willingly offered to serve Yahweh; and with him 200,000 fighting men.
Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻa ʻAmasia ko e foha ʻo Sikili, ʻaia naʻa ne tuku fiemālie pe ia maʻa Sihova: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kau tangata toʻa mālohi ko e toko ua kilu.
17 From Benjamin: Eliada a powerful man of courage, and with him 200,000 armed with bows and shields;
Pea ʻia Penisimani: ko Iliata ko e tangata toʻa mālohi, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kau tangata naʻe mahafutau ʻaki ʻae kau fana mo e pā, ko e toko ua kilu.
18 next to him Jehozabad, and with him 180,000 ready prepared for war.
Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻa Sihosapati, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae tokotaha kilu mo e toko valu mano naʻe tali teu pe ki he tau.
19 These were those who served the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
naʻe tali fekau ʻakinautolu ni ki he tuʻi, kaeʻumaʻā ʻakinautolu naʻe tuku ʻe he tuʻi ki he ngaahi kolo tau ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻo Siuta.
