2 Chronicles 17
1 Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel.
| وَخَلَفَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ أَبَاهُ عَلَى الْمُلْكِ. وَجَعَلَ يُعَبِّىءُ قُوَّاتِهِ لِمُحَارَبَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١ |
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 taken.
| وَوَزَّعَ جُيُوشَهُ عَلَى مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا الْحَصِينَةِ، وَأَقَامَ حَامِيَاتٍ فِي سَائِرِ أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي مُدُنِ أَفْرَايِمَ الَّتِي اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا آسَا أَبُوهُ. | ٢ |
3 The LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and didn’t seek the Baals,
| وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ مَعَ يَهُوشَافَاطَ لأَنَّهُ سَارَ فِي طُرُقِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ وَلَمْ يَضِلَّ وَرَاءَ الْبَعْلِيمِ. | ٣ |
4 but sought the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not in the ways of Israel.
| وَلَكِنَّهُ طَلَبَ إِلَهَ أَبِيهِ وَسَلَكَ حَسَبَ وَصَايَاهُ، وَتَجَنَّبَ أَعْمَالَ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤ |
5 Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand. All Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honour in abundance.
| فَثَبَّتَ الرَّبُّ دَعَائِمَ الْمَمْلَكَةِ فِي يَدِهِ، وَقَدَّمَ لَهُ شَعْبُ يَهُوذَا الْهَدَايَا، فَازْدَادَ غِنىً وَكَرَامَةً. | ٥ |
6 His heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD. Furthermore, he took away the high places and the Asherah poles out of Judah.
| وَامْتَلأَ قَلْبُهُ قُوَّةً بِالرَّبِّ فَسَلَكَ فِي طُرُقِهِ، وَاسْتَأْصَلَ أَيْضاً الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ وَتَمَاثِيلَ عَشْتَارُوثَ مِنْ يَهُوذَا. | ٦ |
7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;
| وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ لِحُكْمِهِ طَلَبَ مِنْ قَادَتِهِ: بِنْحَائِلَ وَعُوبَدْيَا وَزَكَرِيَّا وَنَثَنْئِيلَ وَمِيخَايَا أَنْ يَشْرَعُوا فِي التَّعْلِيمِ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا، | ٧ |
8 and with them Levites, even Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
| بِالتَّعَاوُنِ مَعَ اللّاوِيِّينَ: شَمْعِيَا وَنَثَنْيَا وَزَبَدْيَا وَعَسَائِيلَ وَشَمِيرَامُوثَ وَيَهُونَاثَانَ وَأَدُونِيَّا وَطُوبِيَّا وَطُوبَ أَدُونِيَّا، فَضْلاً عَنِ الْكَاهِنَيْنِ أَلِيشَمَعَ وَيَهُورَامَ. | ٨ |
9 They taught in Judah, having the book of the LORD’s law with them. They went about throughout all the cities of Judah and taught amongst the people.
| فَتَجَوَّلُوا فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاءِ يَهُوذَا حَامِلِينَ مَعَهُمْ سِفْرَ شَرِيعَةِ الرَّبِّ لِيُعَلِّمُوا الشَّعْبَ. | ٩ |
10 The fear of the LORD fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
| وَكَانَتْ هَيْبَةُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى جَمِيعِ مَمَالِكِ الْبُلْدَانِ الْمُجَاوِرَةِ لِيَهُوذَا فَلَمْ يُحَارِبُوا يَهُوشَافَاطَ. | ١٠ |
11 Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents and silver for tribute. The Arabians also brought him flocks: seven thousand and seven hundred rams and seven thousand and seven hundred male goats.
| بَلْ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ حَمَلُوا إِلَى يَهُوشَافَاطَ هَدَايَا وَفِضَّةً كَمَا قَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ الأَعْرَابُ سَبْعَةَ آلافٍ وَسَبْعَ مِئَةِ كَبْشٍ، وَسَبْعَةَ آلافٍ وَسَبْعَ مِئَةِ تَيْسٍ. | ١١ |
12 Jehoshaphat grew great exceedingly; and he built fortresses and store cities in Judah.
| وَعَظُمَ شَأْنُ يَهُوشَافَاطَ وَبَنَى فِي يَهُوذَا حُصُوناً وَمُدُنَ مَخَازِنَ لِلتَّمْوِينِ. | ١٢ |
13 He had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valour, in Jerusalem.
| وَتَكَاثَرَتْ أَشْغَالُهُ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا، كَمَا كَانَ لَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ جَيْشٌ قَوِيٌّ مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الأَشِدَّاءِ. | ١٣ |
14 This was the numbering of them according to their fathers’ houses: From Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valour;
| وَهَذَا إِحْصَاءٌ بَعَدَدِهِمْ بِحَسَبِ انْتِمَائِهِمْ لِبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ: مِنْ يَهُوذَا رُؤَسَاءُ الأُلُوفِ: عَدَنَةُ الْقَائِدُ الْعَامُّ لِقُوَّاتِ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا الْبَالِغَةِ ثَلاثَ مِئَةِ أَلْفٍ مِنَ الْمُحَارِبيِنَ الأَشِدَّاءِ. | ١٤ |
15 and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;
| وَيَتْلُوهُ يَهُونَاثَانُ قَائِداً لِمِئَتَيْنِ وَثَمَانِينَ أَلْفَ جُنْدِيٍّ. | ١٥ |
16 and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to the LORD, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour.
| ثُمَّ الْقَائِدُ عَمَسْيَا بْنُ زِكْرِي الْمُتَطَوِّعُ لِخِدْمَةِ الرَّبِّ، عَلَى رَأْسِ مِئَتَيْ أَلْفِ مُحَارِبٍ جَبَّارٍ. | ١٦ |
17 From Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valour, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
| وَمِنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ: أَلِيَادَاعُ قَائِدٌ لِمِئَتَيْ أَلْفٍ مِنْ رُمَاةِ السِّهَامِ وَحَمَلَةِ التُّرُوسِ. | ١٧ |
18 and next to him Jehozabad, and with him one hundred and eighty thousand ready and prepared for war.
| وَيَتْلُوهُ يَهُوزَابَادُ الَّذِي تَوَلَّى قِيَادَةَ مِئَةٍ وَثَمَانِينَ أَلْفاً مِنَ الْجُنُودِ الْمُدَرَّبِينَ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ. | ١٨ |
19 These were those who waited on the king, in addition to those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
| هَؤُلاءِ هُمْ قَادَةُ الْمَلِكِ، فَضْلاً عَنِ الَّذِينَ أَقَامَهُمْ فِي الْمُدُنِ الْحَصِينَةِ فِي كُلِّ أَرْجَاءِ يَهُوذَا. | ١٩ |
