Otra Laiku 17
1 Un viņa dēls Jehošafats palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā un tas palika spēcīgs pret Israēli.
Asa’s son Jehoshaphat became the king [of Judah], and he enabled his army to become very strong, with the result that they could resist attacks from [the army of] Israel.
2 Un viņš ielika karavīrus visās stiprās Jūda pilsētās un karavīrus Jūda zemē un Efraīma pilsētās, ko viņa tēvs Asa bija uzņēmis.
He put soldiers in all the cities in Judah around which they had built walls, and he put soldiers in other places in Judah and in the towns in the area belonging to the tribe of Ephraim that [soldiers of] his father Asa had captured.
3 Un Tas Kungs bija ar Jehošafatu, jo viņš staigāja sava tēva Dāvida pirmajos ceļos un nemeklēja Baālus.
Yahweh helped Jehoshaphat because when he started [to rule Judah], he did the things that pleased Yahweh like his ancestor [King] David had done. He did not worship the idols of Baal.
4 Bet viņš meklēja sava tēva Dievu un staigāja Viņa baušļos un ne pēc Israēla darbiem.
Instead, he sought advice from the God whom his father [had worshiped], and he obeyed God’s commands, and did not do the [evil things that the kings of] Israel continually did.
5 Tāpēc Tas Kungs apstiprināja to valstību viņa rokā, un visa Jūda valsts deva Jehošafatam dāvanas, un tam bija bagātības un godības papilnam.
Yahweh enabled him to completely control his kingdom. All [the people of] Judah brought gifts to him, with the result that he became very rich and was greatly honored.
6 Un viņa sirds pieņēmās Tā Kunga ceļos, un viņš nopostīja vēl elku kalnus un Ašeras no Jūda.
He was completely devoted to doing what pleased Yahweh. His workers got rid of the shrines on the hilltops and the poles for [worshiping the goddess] Asherah throughout Judah.
7 Un savas valdīšanas trešā gadā viņš sūtīja savus lielkungus, Benkaēlu un Obadiju un Zahariju un Nataneēli un Mikaju, mācīt Jūdu pilsētās.
When he had been ruling [Judah] for almost three years, he sent some of his officials—Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah—to teach the people in various towns in Judah.
8 Un ar tiem bija tie Leviti Šemaja un Neanija un Zebadija un Azaēls un Zemiramots un Jonatāns un Adonija un Tobija un TobAdonija, Leviti, un ar tiem Elišamus un Jorams, priesteri.
With them he sent several descendants of Levi—Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-Adonijah—and two priests, Elishama and Jehoram.
9 Un tie mācīja Jūdā, un Tā Kunga bauslības grāmata tiem bija līdz, un tie gāja apkārt visās Jūda pilsētās un mācīja ļaudis.
They took with them a scroll on which were written the laws of Yahweh and taught them to the people in all the towns throughout Judah,
10 Un bailes priekš Tā Kunga bija pār visām zemes valstīm apkārt ap Jūdu, ka tie pret Jehošafatu nekaroja.
The people in all the kingdoms surrounding Judah became very afraid of [what Yahweh might do to punish them if they fought against Judah], so they did not start wars with Jehoshaphat’s army.
11 Un no Fīlistiem Jehošafatam atnesa dāvanas, pulka sudraba. Un Arābi viņam deva sīkus lopus septiņtūkstoš un septiņsimt aunus un septiņtūkstoš un septiņsimt āžus.
Some people from Philistia brought gifts to Jehoshaphat, and they also brought to him the silver that he demanded that they pay to him. Some Arabs brought to him 7,700 rams and 7,700 goats.
12 Un Jehošafats arvienu auga lielā augumā un uzcēla Jūdā pilis un labības pilsētas.
Jehoshaphat continued to become more powerful/influential. His workers built forts and places to store supplies in various towns in Judah.
13 Un viņam bija daudz mantas Jūda pilsētās un varen stipri karavīri Jeruzālemē.
Then they put large amounts of supplies in those storehouses. Jehoshaphat also placed in Jerusalem soldiers who were experienced.
14 Un tā tie tapa skaitīti pēc viņu tēvu namiem: Jūdā bija virsnieki pār tūkstošiem: virsnieks Adnus, un tam bija trīs simt tūkstoš kara vīri.
The leaders and numbers from each tribe were as follows: From the tribe of Judah, Adnah was the leader of the soldiers, and he commanded 300,000 soldiers.
15 Viņam blakām bija virsnieks Johanans, un tam bija divsimt astoņdesmit tūkstoši.
His assistant was Jehohanan, who commanded 280,000 soldiers.
16 Un tam blakām bija Amasija, Sihrus dēls, kas ar labu prātu Tam Kungam bija nodevies, un tam bija divsimt tūkstoš kara vīri.
Next was Zicri’s son Amasiah, who volunteered to serve Yahweh in this way; he commanded 200,000 soldiers.
17 Un no Benjamina bija Elijadus, kara varonis, un tam bija divsimt tūkstoši ar stopiem un priekšturamām bruņām.
From the tribe of Benjamin, Eliada, who was a brave soldier, was the leader of the soldiers; he commanded 200,000 men who had bows [and arrows] and shields.
18 Un tam blakām bija Jozabads, un tam bija simts astoņdesmit tūkstoši uz karu gatavi.
Next was Jehozabad, who commanded 180,000 men who had weapons for fighting battles.
19 Šie kalpoja ķēniņam, bez tiem, ko ķēniņš bija ielicis stiprās pilsētās pa visu Jūdu.
Those were the soldiers who served the king [in Jerusalem], in addition to the men whom the king had placed in the other cities in Judah that had walls around them.
