1 Jehoshaphat el aolulla Asa, papa tumal, in tokosra, ac el akkeyala tokosrai lun Judah in lain Israel.
And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.

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 that Asa his father had taken.
3 LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal Jehoshaphat mweyen el fahsr in falken papa tumal ke tafun moul lal meet, ac tia alu nu sin Baal.
And Jehovah was with Jehoshaphat, for he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto 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 in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.

And he took courage in the ways of Jehovah; moreover, he removed the high places and Asherahs out of Judah.

And in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, Ben-hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethaneel, and Micah, to teach in the cities of Judah;

And the terror of Jehovah was upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, and they made no war against Jehoshaphat.

And some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat gifts and tribute-silver. The Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand seven hundred rams, and seven thousand seven hundred he-goats.
12 Ouinge yokelik na ku lal Jehoshaphat. El kuhlasak siti puspis in acn Judah nufon, oayapa musaiak siti
And Jehoshaphat waxed exceeding great; and he built in Judah castles and store-cities.
