Kronika 2 17
1 Yehosafat ɖu fia ɖe fofoa, Asa teƒe eye wòglã eɖokui ɖe Israel fia ŋu.
And Jehoshaphat his son reigneth in his stead, and he strengtheneth 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 putteth a force in all the fenced cities of Judah, and putteth garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim that Asa his father 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 Jehovah is with Jehoshaphat, for he hath walked in the first ways of David his father, and hath not sought to Baalim,
4 Ewɔ fofoa ƒe Mawu ƒe sewo dzi eye menɔ abe ame siwo nɔ Israel ene la kura o.
for to the God of his father he hath sought, and in His commands he hath walked, 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 Jehovah doth establish the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah give a present to Jehoshaphat, and he hath riches and honour 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 Jehovah, and again he hath turned aside the high places and the shrines 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 hath 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 Jehonathan, 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 with them [is] the Book of the Law of Jehovah, and they go round about 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 here is a fear of Jehovah on all kingdoms of the lands that [are] round about 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 of the Philistines they are bringing in to Jehoshaphat a present, and tribute silver; also, the Arabians are bringing to him a flock, rams seven thousand an seven hundred, and he-goats seven thousand and seven hundred.
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 buildeth in Judah palaces and cities of store,
13 Ewɔ ɖoɖowo ɖe dukɔmedɔ geɖewo wɔwɔ ŋu eye wòda aʋakɔ gã aɖe ɖe Yerusalem, si nye eƒe fiadu la me.
and he hath much work in cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty of valour, [are] in Jerusalem.

And these [are] their numbers, for the house of their fathers: Of Judah, heads of thousands, Adnah the head, and with him mighty ones of valour, three hundred chiefs.

And at his hand [is] Jehohanan the head, and with him two hundred and eighty chiefs.

And at his hand [is] Amasiah son of Zichri, who is willingly offering himself to Jehovah, and with him two hundred chiefs, mighty of valour.

These [are] those serving the king, apart from those whom the king put in the cities of fortress, in all Judah.
