2 Cronicas 17
1 Ni Jehosafat a putotna ti naisaad nga ari a kasukatna ket pinapigsana ti armadana a sumaranget iti Israel.
And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his place, and made himself strong against Israel.
2 Nangipuesto isuna kadagiti soldado kadagiti amin a nasarikedkedan a siudad ti Juda, ken nangipasdek kadagiti kampo ti soldado iti daga ti Juda ken kadagiti siudad ti Efraim, a sinakup ni Asa nga amana.
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 Adda ni Yahweh kenni Jehosafat gapu ta nagbiag isuna a sililinteg a kas iti inaramid ni David nga amana kadagiti umuna a tawen ti panagturayna, ken saan isuna a nagdaydayaw kadagiti Baal.
And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he went in the early ways of his father, not turning to the Baals,
4 Ngem ketdi, nagtalek isuna iti Dios ti amana, ken tinungpalna dagiti bilbilinna, saanna a sinurot dagiti wagas dagiti tattao ti Israel.
But turning to the God of his father and keeping his laws, and not doing as Israel did.
5 Isu a pinatalged ni Yahweh ti panangituray ni Jehosafat iti pagarian ti Juda; nangiyeg dagiti amin a taga-Juda iti sagudta kenni Jehosafat. Addaan isuna iti aglaplapusanan a kinabaknang ken dayaw.
So the Lord made his kingdom strong; and all Judah gave offerings to Jehoshaphat, and he had great wealth and honour.
6 Naipamaysa ti pusona kadagiti wagas ni Yahweh. Inikkatna met dagiti pagdawdayawan ken dagiti tekken ni Asera iti Juda.
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 Iti maika-3 a tawen iti panangiturayna, imbaonna dagiti opisialna a da Benhail, Obadias, Zacarias, Netanel, ken Micaias, a mangisuroda kadagiti siudad ti Juda.
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 Kadduada dagiti Levita; a da Semaias, Netanias, Zebadias, Asael, Semiramot, Jehonatan, Adoniha, Tobijas ken Tobadonijas; ket kaduada dagiti papadi a da Elesama ken Jehoram.
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 Nangisuroda idiay Juda, intugotda ti Libro ti Linteg ni Yahweh. Napanda kadagiti amin a siudad ti Juda ket nangisuroda kadagiti tattao.
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 Ti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh ket nagdissuor kadagiti amin a pagarian kadagiti daga iti aglawlaw ti Juda, isu a saanda a ginubgubat ni Jehosafat.
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 Nangiyeg dagiti sumagmamano a Filisteo kadagiti sagutda kenni Jehosafat, ken pirak a kas buisda. Nangiyeg met kenkuana dagiti taga-Arab kadagiti arban, 7, 700 a kalakian a karnero, ken 7, 700 a kalding.
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 Bimmileg iti kasta unay ni Jehosafat. Nangipatakder isuna kadagiti sarikedked ken kadagiti siudad a pangidulinan iti abasto idiay Juda.
Jehoshaphat became greater and greater, and made strong towers and store-towns in Judah.
13 Addaan isuna kadagiti nakaad-adu nga abasto kadagiti siudad ti Juda, ken kadagiti soldado-mamaingel, natutured a lallaki-idiay Jerusalem.
He had much property in the towns of Judah; he had forces of armed men, great and strong, in Jerusalem.
14 Daytoy ti listaanda, agsasaruno babaen iti nagan dagiti balay ti ammada: Manipud iti Juda, dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti sangaribu; ni Adna a mangidadaulo, ket kaduana dagiti 300, 000 a mannakigubat a lallaki,
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 ti sumaruno kenkuana ket ni Jehohanan a mangidadaulo, kaduana dagiti 280, 000 a lallaki;
Second to him Jehohanan, the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;

After him Amasiah, the son of Zichri, who freely gave himself to the Lord, and with him two hundred thousand men of war;
17 Manipud iti Benjamin: ni Eliada a maysa a maingel ken natured a lalaki, ket kaduana dagiti 200, 000 a nakaarmas kadagiti bai ken kalasag;
And the captains of Benjamin: Eliada, a great man of war, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bows and body-covers;

And after him Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand trained for war.
19 Dagitoy dagiti agserserbi iti ari, malaksid kadagiti impuesto ti ari kadagiti nasarikedkedan a siudad iti entero a Juda.
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.
