Kronika 2 17
1 Yehosafat ɖu fia ɖe fofoa, Asa teƒe eye wòglã eɖokui ɖe Israel fia ŋu.
And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his place, and made himself strong against Israel.
2 Eda asrafowo ɖe Yuda du siwo woglã la me kple teƒe vovovowo le dukɔ la me kple Efraim, du siwo fofoa Asa xɔ la me.
He put forces in all the walled towns of Judah, and responsible chiefs in the land of Judah and in the towns of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
3 Yehowa nɔ kple Yehosafat elabena ewɔ nu nyui abe ale si fofoa wɔ le eƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe gbãtɔwo me ene eye mesubɔ legbawo o.
And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he went in the early ways of his father, not turning to the Baals,
4 Ewɔ fofoa ƒe Mawu ƒe sewo dzi eye menɔ abe ame siwo nɔ Israel ene la kura o.
But turning to the God of his father and keeping his laws, and not doing as Israel did.
5 Esia ta Yehowa na wòli ke abe Yuda fia ene. Yuda ƒe viwo katã xea woƒe dugawo ale wòzu kesinɔtɔ gã aɖe eye amewo lɔ̃e ŋutɔ.
So the Lord made his kingdom strong; and all Judah gave offerings to Jehoshaphat, and he had great wealth and honour.
6 Ezɔ Mawu ƒe mɔwo dzi dzideƒotɔe; ekaka trɔ̃subɔlawo ƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo le togbɛawo dzi eye wòho aƒeliwo gɔ̃ hã.
His heart was lifted up in the ways of the Lord; and he went so far as to take away the high places and the wood pillars out of Judah.
7 Le eƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe etɔ̃lia me la, eɖo ame aɖewo ɖa be woafia nu amewo le Yuda duwo me. Ame siawoe nye Ben Hail, Obadia, Zekaria, Netanel kple Mikaya.
In the third year of his rule he sent Benhail and Obadiah and Zechariah and Nethanel and Micaiah, his captains, as teachers into the towns of Judah;
8 Levi ƒe vi asieke kple nunɔla eve kpe ɖe wo ŋu. Levi ƒe viawoe nye Semaya, Netania, Zebadia, Asahel, Semiramɔt, Yehonatan, Adoniya, Tobiya, Tob Adoniya kpakple nunɔlawo Elisama kple Yehoram.
And with them, Shemaiah and Nethaniah and Zebadiah and Asahel and Shemiramoth and Jehonathan and Adonijah and Tobijah and Tob-adonijah, the Levites; and Elishama and Jehoram the priests.
9 Wotsɔ Yehowa ƒe Segbalẽ la ɖe asi, hetsa le Yuda duwo katã me eye wofia Ŋɔŋlɔ Kɔkɔe la ameawo.
And they gave teaching in Judah and had the book of the law of the Lord with them; they went through all the towns of Judah teaching the people.
10 Vɔvɔ̃ na Yehowa dze fiaɖuƒe siwo ƒo xlã Yuda la dzi ale wo dometɔ aɖeke meho aʋa ɖe Yehosafat ŋu o.
And the fear of the Lord was on all the kingdoms of the lands round Judah, so that they made no wars against Jehoshaphat.
11 Filistitɔ aɖewo gɔ̃ hã tsɔ nunanawo vɛ nɛ eye wodzɔa nu nɛ ƒe sia ƒe. Nu siwo Arabiatɔwo nae la woe nye: agbo akpe adre alafa adre kple gbɔ̃tsu akpe adre alafa adre.
And some of the Philistines took offerings to Jehoshaphat, and made him payments of silver; and the Arabians gave him flocks, seven thousand, seven hundred sheep, and seven thousand, seven hundred he-goats.
12 Ale Yehosafat kpɔ ŋusẽ ŋutɔ; etu mɔwo eye wòtso nudzraɖoƒe duwo ɖe Yudanyigba ƒe akpa ɖe sia ɖe dzi.
Jehoshaphat became greater and greater, and made strong towers and store-towns in Judah.
13 Ewɔ ɖoɖowo ɖe dukɔmedɔ geɖewo wɔwɔ ŋu eye wòda aʋakɔ gã aɖe ɖe Yerusalem, si nye eƒe fiadu la me.
He had much property in the towns of Judah; he had forces of armed men, great and strong, in Jerusalem.
14 Woƒe xexlẽme le woƒe ƒomewo nu nɔ ale: tso Yuda la, aʋawɔla akpe ɖekaɖekawo nunɔlawo nɔ anyi eye aʋawɔla akpe alafa etɔ̃ nɔ woƒe aʋafia, Adna te.
This is the number of them, listed by their families, the captains of thousands of Judah: Adnah, the captain, and with him three hundred thousand men of war;
15 Yehohanan nye aʋafia si kplɔe ɖo eye wònɔ aʋawɔla akpe alafa eve blaenyi nu.
Second to him Jehohanan, the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;
16 Ame si kplɔ eya hã ɖoe nye Amasia, Zikri ƒe vi, ame si nye mawuvɔ̃la akuaku aɖe; eya kpɔ aʋawɔla akpe alafa eve dzi.
After him Amasiah, the son of Zichri, who freely gave himself to the Lord, and with him two hundred thousand men of war;
17 Aʋawɔla akpe alafa eve tso Benyamin ƒe viwo dome; wotsɔ datiwo, aŋutrɔwo kple akpoxɔnuwo eye wonɔ aʋafia xɔŋkɔ Eliada te.
And the captains of Benjamin: Eliada, a great man of war, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bows and body-covers;
18 Ame si kplɔe ɖo lae nye Yehozabad eye wòkplɔ aʋawɔla akpe alafa ɖeka blaenyi, ame siwo xɔ hehe nyuie.
And after him Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand trained for war.
19 Aʋawɔla siawo nɔ Yerusalem kpe ɖe esiwo fia la da ɖe du siwo woglã le dukɔ blibo la me la ŋuti.
These were the men who were waiting on the king, in addition to those placed by the king in the walled towns through all Judah.
