2 Chronicles 17
1 Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel.
Jozafati, mwana mobali ya Asa, akitanaki na tata na ye na bokonzi mpe alendisaki makasi na ye mpo na kobundisa Isalaele.
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.
Atiaki mampinga na ye kati na bingumba nyonso ya Yuda, oyo batonga makasi; mpe atiaki masanga ya basoda kati na mokili ya Yuda mpe kati na bingumba ya Efrayimi oyo Asa, tata na ye, abotolaki.
3 The LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and didn’t seek the Baals,
Yawe azalaki elongo na Jozafati mpo ete, na eteni ya liboso ya bomoi na ye, alandaki ndakisa ya Davidi, tata na ye, mpe amipesaki te na banzambe Bala.
4 but sought the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not in the ways of Israel.
Kasi alukaki Nzambe ya tata na ye mpe atosaki mibeko na Ye: alandaki te makambo oyo ezalaki kosalema kati na Isalaele.
5 Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand. All Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honour in abundance.
Yawe alendisaki bokonzi oyo ezalaki na maboko ya Jozafati, mpe Yuda mobimba ezalaki komemela ye bakado. Akomaki na bozwi ebele mpe atondaki na lokumu.
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.
Motema na ye esepelaki makasi kotambola na banzela ya Yawe kino kolongola kati na Yuda bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba mpe makonzi ya Ashera.
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;
Na mobu ya misato ya bokonzi na ye, atindaki bakalaka na ye koteya bavandi ya bingumba ya Yuda. Ezalaki Beni-Ayili, Abidiasi, Zakari, Netaneeli mpe Mishe.
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.
Atindaki elongo na bango Balevi oyo libwa: Shemaya, Netania, Zebadia, Asaeli, Shemiramoti, Jonatan, Adoniya, Tobiya mpe Tobi-Adoniya; elongo na Banganga-Nzambe Elishama mpe Yorami.
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.
Bateyaki kati na Yuda. Wana bazalaki na buku ya Mobeko ya Yawe elongo na bango, batambolaki kati na bingumba nyonso ya Yuda mpo na koteya bato.
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.
Somo ya Yawe ekangaki bamboka nyonso oyo ezalaki zingazinga ya Yuda, mpe ekokaki lisusu te kobundisa Jozafati.
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.
Bato ya Filisitia bamemelaki Jozafati bakado mpe palata lokola mpako mpo na mokonzi; mpe bato ya Arabi bamemelaki ye bameme ya mibali nkoto sambo na nkama sambo mpe bantaba ya mibali nkoto sambo na nkama sambo.
12 Jehoshaphat grew great exceedingly; and he built fortresses and store cities in Judah.
Wana nguya ya bokonzi ya Jozafati ekobaki kaka koya makasi, atongaki kati na Yuda bandako makasi mpe bingumba ya kobomba biloko.
13 He had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valour, in Jerusalem.
Kati na bingumba ya Yuda, azalaki na biloko ebele ya kolia; mpe kati na Yelusalemi, atiaki basoda ya mpiko.
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;
Tala motango na bango kolanda mabota na bango: Kati na libota ya Yuda, bakonzi ya bankoto: Adina, mokonzi ya basoda ya mpiko nkoto nkama misato;
15 and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;
sima na ye, Yoanani: mokonzi ya basoda ya mpiko nkoto nkama mibale na tuku mwambe;
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.
sima na ye, Amasia, mwana mobali ya Zikiri, oyo amikabaki ye moko epai na Yawe: mokonzi ya basoda ya mpiko nkoto nkama mibale.
17 From Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valour, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
Kati na libota ya Benjame: Eliyada, elombe ya bitumba, azalaki mokonzi ya basoda ya mpiko nkoto nkama mibale oyo bazalaki na matolotolo mpe na banguba;
18 and next to him Jehozabad, and with him one hundred and eighty thousand ready and prepared for war.
Yozabadi, mokonzi ya basoda ya mpiko nkoto nkama moko na tuku mwambe.
19 These were those who waited on the king, in addition to those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
Bato oyo nyonso bazalaki kosala epai ya mokonzi lokola bakonzi ya basoda ya mpiko, bakisa ba-oyo mokonzi atiaki kati na bingumba batonga makasi ya Yuda mobimba.
