Kronika 2 17
1 Yehosafat ɖu fia ɖe fofoa, Asa teƒe eye wòglã eɖokui ɖe Israel fia ŋu.
And his son Jehoshaphat reigns in his stead, and he strengthens himself 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.
and puts a force in all the fortified cities of Judah, and puts garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.
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 YHWH is with Jehoshaphat, for he has walked in the first ways of his father David, and has not sought for the Ba‘alim,
4 Ewɔ fofoa ƒe Mawu ƒe sewo dzi eye menɔ abe ame siwo nɔ Israel ene la kura o.
for he has sought for the God of his father, and he has walked in His commands, and not according to the work of Israel.
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.
And YHWH establishes the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah gives a present to Jehoshaphat, and he has riches and honor in abundance,
6 Ezɔ Mawu ƒe mɔwo dzi dzideƒotɔe; ekaka trɔ̃subɔlawo ƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo le togbɛawo dzi eye wòho aƒeliwo gɔ̃ hã.
and his heart is high in the ways of YHWH, and again he has turned aside the high places and the Asherim 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.
And in the third year of his reign he has sent for his heads, for Ben-Hail, and for Obadiah, and for Zechariah, and for Nethaneel, and for Michaiah, to teach in cities 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 the Levites: Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijath, and Tob-Adonijah—the Levites; and with them 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 teach in Judah, and the Scroll of the Law of YHWH [is] with them, and they go around into all cities of Judah, and teach among 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 there is a fear of YHWH on all kingdoms of the lands that [are] around Judah, and they have not fought with 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] from the Philistines are bringing a present to Jehoshaphat, and silver [as] tribute; also, the Arabians are bringing to him a flock of seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred male goats.
12 Ale Yehosafat kpɔ ŋusẽ ŋutɔ; etu mɔwo eye wòtso nudzraɖoƒe duwo ɖe Yudanyigba ƒe akpa ɖe sia ɖe dzi.
And Jehoshaphat is going on and becoming very great, and he builds palaces and cities of store in Judah,
13 Ewɔ ɖoɖowo ɖe dukɔmedɔ geɖewo wɔwɔ ŋu eye wòda aʋakɔ gã aɖe ɖe Yerusalem, si nye eƒe fiadu la me.
and he has much work in cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, [are] 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.
And these [are] their numbers, for the house of their fathers—of Judah, heads of thousands: Adnah the head, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor;
15 Yehohanan nye aʋafia si kplɔe ɖo eye wònɔ aʋawɔla akpe alafa eve blaenyi nu.
and at his hand [is] Jehohanan the head, 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.
and at his hand [is] Amasiah son of Zichri, who is willingly offering himself to YHWH, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
17 Aʋawɔla akpe alafa eve tso Benyamin ƒe viwo dome; wotsɔ datiwo, aŋutrɔwo kple akpoxɔnuwo eye wonɔ aʋafia xɔŋkɔ Eliada te.
And of Benjamin, mighty men of valor: Eliada, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
18 Ame si kplɔe ɖo lae nye Yehozabad eye wòkplɔ aʋawɔla akpe alafa ɖeka blaenyi, ame siwo xɔ hehe nyuie.
and at his hand [is] Jehozabad, and with him one hundred and eighty thousand armed ones of the host.
19 Aʋawɔla siawo nɔ Yerusalem kpe ɖe esiwo fia la da ɖe du siwo woglã le dukɔ blibo la me la ŋuti.
These [are] those serving the king, apart from those whom the king put in the fortress cities in all of Judah.
