< 2 Chronicles 17 >
1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
Asa capa Jehosaphat loe ampa zuengah siangpahrang ah oh moe, Israel tuk hanah tha pathok.
2 And 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 taken.
Sipae hoi kacakah thungh ih Judah vangpuinawk boih ah misatuh kaminawk to a suek; Judah prae thung boih hoi ampa Asa mah lak ih Ephraim vangpuinawk boih ah misatuh kaminawk to a suek.
3 And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not to Baalim;
Baal sithawnawk khaeah caeh ai, anih loe ampa David mah caeh tangsuekhaih loklam to pazui pongah, Angraeng mah Jehosaphat to oh thuih;
4 But sought to the [LORD] God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
anih loe ampanawk ih Angraeng Sithaw khaeah caeh, Israelnawk mah sak ih hmuen baktiah sah ai, Angraeng ih loknawk to pazui.
5 Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand: and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honor in abundance.
To pongah Angraeng mah anih ban ah prae to caksak; Judah kaminawk boih mah Jehosaphat hanah tangqum to sin pae o; to pongah anih loe angraeng moe, paroeai pakoehhaih to a hnuk.
6 And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.
A poekhaih palungthin Angraeng khaeah suek moe, hmuensangnawk hoi Asherah thingnawk to Judah prae thung hoiah takhoe king.
7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, [even] to Ben-hail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.
Siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning thumto naah, Judah vangpui kaminawk patuk hanah, angmah ih angraeng, Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zekariah, Nathanel hoi Mikaiah cae to patoeh.
8 And with them [he sent] Levites, [even] Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests.
Nihcae hoi nawnto ah Levinawk, Shemaiah, Nathaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemi-Ramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah hoi Tob-Adonijah; Levinawk thung hoiah qaima Elishama hoi Jehoram to patoeh.
9 And they taught in Judah, and [had] the book of the law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.
Nihcae mah Judah prae thung boih ah patukhaih to sak o; Angraeng ih kaalok cabu to sin o; Judah vangpuinawk boih ah caeh o moe, kaminawk to patuk o.
10 And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that [were] around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
Judah prae taeng ih praenawk boih ah Sithaw zithaih palungthin to oh pongah, Jehosaphat loe misa tuh ai.
11 Also [some] of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he-goats.
Thoemto Philistin kaminawk mah Jehosaphat hanah tangqum sin pae o moe, sumkanglungnawk to paek o; Arab kaminawk mah anih hanah tuunawk to sin pae o; tuucaa sang sarih, cumvai sarihto, maeh tae sang sarih, cumvai sarihto sin pae o.
12 And Jehoshaphat became exceedingly great; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store.
Jehosaphat loe len aep aep; misa toephaih imnawk, Judah prae thungah hmuenmae suekhaih vangpuinawk to a sak.
13 And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valor, [were] in Jerusalem.
Judah vangpuinawk thungah paroeai caaknaek to oh; misahoih kaminawk hoi misatuh thaih kaminawk to Jerusalem ah a suek.
14 And these [are] the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers: of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the chief, and with him mighty men of valor three hundred thousand.
Nihcae imthung takoh kaminawk loe hae tiah oh o; Judah acaeng thung hoiah abu maeto ukkung misatuh angraeng sangto oh moe, kalen koek misatuh angraeng Adnah hoi thacak misatuh kaminawk sang cumvai thumto oh o.
15 And next to him [was] Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand.
Anih pacoengah misatuh angraeng Jehohanan hoi angmah ih misatuh kaminawk sang cumvai hnet, sang quitazetto oh o.
16 And next to him [was] Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
Anih pacoengah angmah koeh ah Angraeng toksak hanah kangpaek, Zikri capa Amasiah hoi angmah ih misatuh kaminawk sang cumvai hnetto oh.
17 And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valor, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
Tayae hoi misa angvaenghaih aphaw sin Benjamin acaeng, thacak Eliada hoi anih ih misatuh kaminawk loe sang cumvai hnetto oh o.
18 And next to him [was] Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand ready prepared for the war.
Anih pacoengah, Jehosaphat hoi misa angtuk han amsakcoek misatuh kami, sing ha, sang quitazetto oh.
19 These waited on the king, besides [those] whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
Siangpahrang mah Judah prae hoi sipae kacakah thungh ih vangpuinawk boih ah suek ih kaminawk pacoengah, hae kaminawk doeh siangpahrang ih toksah kami ah oh o.
