II Oihanaalii 17
1 NOHO alii iho la o Iehosapata kana keiki mahope ona, A hooikaika ka e aku la oia i ka Iseraela.
Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel.
2 Hoonoho oia i ka poe koa iloko o na kulanakauhale a pau o Iuda i paa i ka pa, a hoonoho hoi i na puali koa ma ka aina o Iuda, a me na kulanakauhale o Eperaima, a Asa kona makuakane i hoopio ai.
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.
3 Aia pu o Iehova me Iehosapata, no ka mea, hele oia ma na aoao mua o Davida o kona kupuna, aole hoi i imi oia ia Baala.
Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and didn’t seek the Baals,
4 Aka, imi aku la oia i ke Akua o kona makuakane; a hele ma kona kanawai, aole e like me ka ka Iseraela hana ana.
but sought the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not in the ways of Israel.
5 Nolaila hookupaa iho la o Iehova i ke aupuni ma kona lima; a haawi ka luda a pau i na makana na Iehosapata; a ua nui kona waiwai, a me ka hanohano.
Therefore Yahweh established the kingdom in his hand. All Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance.
6 A ua ikaika kona naau ma na aoao o Iehova; a wawahi iho la ia i na wahi kiekie, a me na kii no Asetarota ma Iuda.
His heart was lifted up in the ways of Yahweh. Furthermore, he took away the high places and the Asherah poles out of Judah.
7 A i ka makahiki ekolu o kona aupuni, hoouna aku la oia i na luna ona, ia Benehaila, a me Obadia, a me Zekaria, a me Nataneela, a me Mikaia, e ao aku iloko o na kulanakauhale o luda.
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;
8 A me lakou pu kekahi poe Levi, o Semaia, a me Netanaia, a me Zebadaia, a me Asahela, a me Semiramota, a me Iehonatana, a me Adonia, a me Tobia, a me Tobaadonia, o na Levi ia; a me lakou pu o Elisama a me Iehorama, na kahuna.
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.
9 A ao aku lakou ma Iuda, a lawe pu me lakou i ka buke o ke kanawai o Iehova, a hele lakou a puni na kulanakauhale a pau o luda, a ao aku i na kanaka.
They taught in Judah, having the book of Yahweh’s law with them. They went about throughout all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.
10 Aia maluna o na aupuni a pau o na aina a puni o Iuda ka eehia ia Iehova, aole hoi i kaua mai lakou me Iehosapata.
The fear of Yahweh fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
11 A o kekahi poe o Pilisetia, lawe mai la lakou io Iehosapata la i na makana, a me ke kala hookupu; a o ko Arabia no hoi kekahi, lawe mai la lakou ia ia i poe holoholona, i na hipa kane ehiku tausani, a me na haneri ehiku, a i na kao kane ehiku tausani a me na haneri ehiku.
Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents and silver for tribute. The Arabians also brought him flocks: seven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred male goats.
12 A lilo iho la o Iehosapata i mea nui loa, a kukulu iho la ia i mau papu ma Iuda, a i mau kulanakauhale waiho ukana.
Jehoshaphat grew great exceedingly; and he built fortresses and store cities in Judah.
13 A nui kana hana ma na kulanakauhale o Iuda, a nui hoi na kanaka kaua, ka poe ikaika ma Ierusalema.
He had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem.
14 Eia ka helu ana o lakou ma ka hale o ko lakou poe kupuna. No ka hale o Inda, o na luna tausani; o Adena ka luna, a o ka poe koa ikaika me ia, ekolu haneri tausani
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 valor;
15 A mahope ona, o Iehohanana, ka luna, a o ka poe me ia, elua haneri a me kanawalu tausani.
and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred eighty thousand;
16 A mahope ona, o Amazia, ke keiki a Zikeri, ka mea hookauwa oluolu na Iehova; a o ka poe kanaka ikaika me ia, elua haneri tausani.
and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to Yahweh, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
17 No Beniamina, o Eliada he kanaka ikaika, a o ka poe me ia e lawe ana i ke kakaka, a me ka palekaua, elua haneri tausani.
From Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valor, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
18 A mahope ona o lehozabada, a o ka poe me ia ka poe makaukau ma ke kaua, hookahi haneri me kanawalu tausani.
and next to him Jehozabad, and with him one hundred eighty thousand ready and prepared for war.
19 Oia ka poe lawelawe na ke alii, okoa ka poe a ke alii i waiho ai ma na kulanakauhale paa i ka pa ma Iuda a pau loa.
These were those who waited on the king, in addition to those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
