2 Cronicas 17
1 Ni Jehosafat a putotna ti naisaad nga ari a kasukatna ket pinapigsana ti armadana a sumaranget iti Israel.
And Josaphat his son reigned in his stead, and grew 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.
And he placed numbers of soldiers in all the fortified cities of Juda. And he put garrisons in the land of Juda, and in the cities 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 Josaphat, because he walked in the first ways of David his father: and trusted not in Baalim,
4 Ngem ketdi, nagtalek isuna iti Dios ti amana, ken tinungpalna dagiti bilbilinna, saanna a sinurot dagiti wagas dagiti tattao ti Israel.
But in the God of his father, and walk in his commandments, and not according to the sins of Israel.
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.
And the Lord established the kingdom in his hand, and all Juda brought presents to Josaphat: and he acquired immense riches, and much glory.
6 Naipamaysa ti pusona kadagiti wagas ni Yahweh. Inikkatna met dagiti pagdawdayawan ken dagiti tekken ni Asera iti Juda.
And when his heart had taken courage for the ways of the Lord, he took away also the high places and the groves out of Juda.
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.
And in the third year of his reign, he sent of his princes Benhail, and Abdias, and Zacharias, and Nathanael, and Micheas, to teach in the cities of Juda:
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 the Levites, Semeias, and Nathanias, and Zabadias, and Asael, and Semiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonias, and Tobias, and Thobadonias Levites, and with them Elisama, and Joram 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 taught the people in Juda, having with them the book of the law of the Lord: and they went about all the cities of Juda, and instructed 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 came upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Juda, and they durst not make war against Josaphat.
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.
The Philistines also brought presents to Josaphat, and tribute in silver, and the Arabians brought him cattle, seven thousand seven hundred rams, and as many he goats.
12 Bimmileg iti kasta unay ni Jehosafat. Nangipatakder isuna kadagiti sarikedked ken kadagiti siudad a pangidulinan iti abasto idiay Juda.
And Josaphat grew, and became exceeding great: and he built in Juda houses like towers, and walled cities.
