2 Tawarikh 17
1 Maka Yosafat, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia. Sebagai pemimpin Israel ia memperkuat dirinya
And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
2 dengan menempatkan tentara di semua kota yang berkubu di Yehuda dan pasukan-pasukan pendudukan di tanah Yehuda serta di kota-kota Efraim yang direbut oleh Asa, ayahnya.
And 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 Dan TUHAN menyertai Yosafat, karena ia hidup mengikuti jejak yang dahulu dari Daud, bapa leluhurnya, dan tidak mencari Baal-baal,
And Jehovah was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the former ways of his father David, and did not seek for the Baalim,
4 melainkan mencari Allah ayahnya. Ia hidup menurut perintah-perintah-Nya dan tidak berbuat seperti Israel.
but sought for the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
5 Oleh sebab itu TUHAN mengokohkan kerajaan yang ada di bawah kekuasaannya. Seluruh Yehuda memberikan persembahan kepada Yosafat, sehingga ia menjadi kaya dan sangat terhormat.
Therefore Jehovah established the kingdom in his hand. And all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat tribute, and he had riches and honor in abundance.
6 Dengan tabah hati ia hidup menurut jalan yang ditunjukkan TUHAN. Pula ia menjauhkan dari Yehuda segala bukit pengorbanan dan tiang berhala.
And his heart was lifted up in the ways of Jehovah. And furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.
7 Pada tahun ketiga pemerintahannya ia mengutus beberapa pembesarnya, yakni Benhail, Obaja, Zakharia, Netaneel dan Mikha untuk mengajar di kota-kota Yehuda.
Also in the third year of his reign he sent his rulers, even Ben-hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;
8 Bersama-sama mereka turut juga beberapa orang Lewi, yakni Semaya, Netanya, Zebaja, Asael, Semiramot, Yonatan, Adonia, Tobia dan Tob-Adonia disertai imam-imam Elisama dan Yoram.
and with them the Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
9 Mereka memberikan pelajaran di Yehuda dengan membawa kitab Taurat TUHAN. Mereka mengelilingi semua kota di Yehuda sambil mengajar rakyat.
And they taught in Judah, having the book of the law of Jehovah with them. And they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people.
10 Ketakutan yang dari TUHAN menimpa semua kerajaan di negeri-negeri sekeliling Yehuda, sehingga mereka tidak berani berperang melawan Yosafat.
And the fear of Jehovah fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
11 Dari antara orang-orang Filistin ada yang membawa kepada Yosafat persembahan, dan perak sebagai upeti. Juga orang-orang Arab membawa kepadanya kambing domba, domba jantan tujuh ribu tujuh ratus ekor dan kambing jantan tujuh ribu tujuh ratus ekor.
And some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver for tribute. The Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he-goats.
12 Yosafat makin lama makin kuat, menjadi luar biasa kuat. Di Yehuda ia membangun benteng-benteng dan kota-kota perbekalan.
And Jehoshaphat grew exceedingly great. And he built in Judah castles and cities of storage.
13 Banyak perbekalannya di kota-kota Yehuda. Orang-orang perangnya ada di Yerusalem, semuanya pahlawan yang gagah perkasa.
And he had many works in the cities of Judah, and men of war, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem.
14 Inilah daftar kesatuan mereka menurut puak-puak mereka; panglima-panglima dari Yehuda ialah panglima Adna dengan tiga ratus ribu pahlawan yang gagah perkasa;
And this was the numbering of them according to their fathers' houses. Of Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor;
15 di samping dia panglima Yohanan dengan dua ratus delapan puluh ribu orang;
and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;
16 dan di samping dia Amasia bin Zikhri, yang dengan sukarela telah menyerahkan dirinya kepada TUHAN, dengan dua ratus ribu pahlawan yang gagah perkasa.
and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to Jehovah, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
17 Dan dari Benyamin ialah Elyada, seorang pahlawan yang gagah perkasa, dengan dua ratus ribu orang yang bersenjatakan busur dan perisai.
And of Benjamin: Eliada a mighty man of valor, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
18 Di samping dia Yozabad, dengan seratus delapan puluh ribu orang yang bersenjata untuk berperang.
and next to him Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand ready prepared for war.
19 Mereka itulah yang bertugas pada raja, selain dari pada mereka yang ditempatkan raja di kota-kota yang berkubu di seluruh Yehuda.
These were those who waited on the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
