Luo Chronicle 17

1 Jehoshaphat el aolulla Asa, papa tumal, in tokosra, ac el akkeyala tokosrai lun Judah in lain Israel.

Asa’s son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place, and he strengthened himself against Israel.

2 El oakiya mwet mweun in siti kuhlusyukyak in acn Judah, oayapa musaela acn in muta lalos uten acn Judah ac in siti ma Asa el sruokya in acn Ephraim.

He stationed troops in every fortified city of Judah and put garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.

3 LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal Jehoshaphat mweyen el fahsr in falken papa tumal ke tafun moul lal meet, ac tia alu nu sin Baal.

Now the LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the earlier ways of his father David. He did not seek out the Baals,

4 El kulansupu God lun papa tumal, ac fahsr tukun ma sap lun God, ac tia oru oana ma tokosra lun mwet Israel oru.

but he sought the God of his father and walked by His commandments rather than the practices of Israel.

5 LEUM GOD El oakiya ku lulap nu facl Jehoshaphat in leumi tokosrai lun Judah, ac mwet nukewa use mwe lung nu sel. Ouinge el kasrupi, ac arulana akfulatyeyuk el.

So the LORD established the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah brought him tribute, so that he had an abundance of riches and honor.

6 El insewowo in kulansupu LEUM GOD ac el kunausla nien alu nukewa lun mwet pegan in acn Judah, oayapa ma sruloala ke god mutan Asherah we.

And his heart took delight in the ways of the LORD; furthermore, he removed the high places and Asherah poles from Judah.

7 In yac se aktolu ma el tokosra, el supwalik mwet fulat inge tuh elos in luti in siti lun Judah: Benhail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, ac Micaiah.

In the third year of his reign, Jehoshaphat sent his officials Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah to teach in the cities of Judah,

8 Mwet Levi eu ac mwet tol luo welulos. Pa inge inen mwet Levi: Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, ac Tobadonijah. Inen mwet tol luo pa: Elishama ac Jehoram.

accompanied by certain Levites—Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah—along with the priests Elishama and Jehoram.

9 Elos us book in Ma Sap lun LEUM GOD ac fahsr nu inkul nukewa in acn Judah ac luti mwet uh ke ma sap.

They taught throughout Judah, taking with them the Book of the Law of the LORD. They went throughout the towns of Judah and taught the people.

10 LEUM GOD El oru tuh tokosrai nukewa ma raunela acn Judah in sangeng in som mweunel Tokosra Jehoshaphat.

And the dread of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that surrounded Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.

11 Kutu sin mwet Philistia elos use mwe lung na yohk ke silver ac mwe lung pac saya nu sel Jehoshaphat. Ac kutu mwet Arabia elos use sheep itkosr tausin itfoko ac nani itkosr tausin itfoko.

Some Philistines also brought gifts and silver as tribute to Jehoshaphat, and the Arabs brought him 7,700 rams and 7,700 goats from their flocks.

12 Ouinge yokelik na ku lal Jehoshaphat. El kuhlasak siti puspis in acn Judah nufon, oayapa musaiak siti

Jehoshaphat grew stronger and stronger, and he built fortresses and store cities in Judah

13 in nwauk mwe mongo puspis we. El filiya mwet pisrla ke mweun in acn Jerusalem,

and kept vast supplies in the cities of Judah. He also had warriors in Jerusalem who were mighty men of valor.

14 fal nu ke ota lalos. Adnah pa captain lun un mwet mweun ke ota nukewa in Judah, ac oasr mwet mweun tolfoko tausin ye kolyuk lal.

These are their numbers according to the houses of their fathers: From Judah, the commanders of thousands: Adnah the commander, and with him 300,000 mighty men of valor;

15 Akluo in wal yal Adnah pa Jehohanan, ac oasr mwet mweun luofoko oalngoul tausin ye kolyuk lal.

next to him, Jehohanan the commander, and with him 280,000;

16 Aktolu in wal pa Amasiah wen natul Zichri, ac oasr mwet mweun luofoko tausin ye kolyuk lal. (Amaziah el tuh sifacna eisalang in kulansupu LEUM GOD.)

and next to him, Amasiah son of Zichri, the volunteer for the LORD, and with him 200,000 mighty men of valor.

From Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valor, and with him 200,000 armed with bows and shields;

and next to him, Jehozabad, and with him 180,000 armed for battle.

These were the men who served the king, besides those he stationed in the fortified cities throughout Judah.
