2 Masolo ya Kala 17
1 Jozafati, mwana mobali ya Asa, akitanaki na tata na ye na bokonzi mpe alendisaki makasi na ye mpo na kobundisa Isalaele.
And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
2 Atiaki mampinga na ye kati na bingumba nyonso ya Yuda, oyo batonga makasi; mpe atiaki masanga ya basoda kati na mokili ya Yuda mpe kati na bingumba ya Efrayimi oyo Asa, tata na ye, abotolaki.
And he placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and placed garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Assa his father had captured.
3 Yawe azalaki elongo na Jozafati mpo ete, na eteni ya liboso ya bomoi na ye, alandaki ndakisa ya Davidi, tata na ye, mpe amipesaki te na banzambe Bala.
And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat; because he walked in the first ways of David his father, and sought not after the Be'alim;
4 Kasi alukaki Nzambe ya tata na ye mpe atosaki mibeko na Ye: alandaki te makambo oyo ezalaki kosalema kati na Isalaele.
On the contrary, after the God of his father did he seek, and in his commandments did he walk, but not after the doings of Israel.
5 Yawe alendisaki bokonzi oyo ezalaki na maboko ya Jozafati, mpe Yuda mobimba ezalaki komemela ye bakado. Akomaki na bozwi ebele mpe atondaki na lokumu.
Therefore did the Lord establish the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah gave presents to Jehoshaphat; and he had riches and honor in abundance.
6 Motema na ye esepelaki makasi kotambola na banzela ya Yawe kino kolongola kati na Yuda bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba mpe makonzi ya Ashera.
And his heart raised itself up in the ways of the Lord, and he removed moreover the high-places and groves out of Judah.
7 Na mobu ya misato ya bokonzi na ye, atindaki bakalaka na ye koteya bavandi ya bingumba ya Yuda. Ezalaki Beni-Ayili, Abidiasi, Zakari, Netaneeli mpe Mishe.
And in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben-chayil, and 'Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Michayahu, to teach in the cities of Judah.
8 Atindaki elongo na bango Balevi oyo libwa: Shemaya, Netania, Zebadia, Asaeli, Shemiramoti, Jonatan, Adoniya, Tobiya mpe Tobi-Adoniya; elongo na Banganga-Nzambe Elishama mpe Yorami.
And with them were the Levites, Shema'yahu, and Nethanyahu, and Zebadyahu, and 'Assahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adoniyahu, and Tobiyahu, and Tobadoniyah, the Levites; and with them Elishama' and Jehoram, the priests.
9 Bateyaki kati na Yuda. Wana bazalaki na buku ya Mobeko ya Yawe elongo na bango, batambolaki kati na bingumba nyonso ya Yuda mpo na koteya bato.
And they taught in Judah, and with them was the book of the law of the Lord, and they moved about through all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.
10 Somo ya Yawe ekangaki bamboka nyonso oyo ezalaki zingazinga ya Yuda, mpe ekokaki lisusu te kobundisa Jozafati.
And the dread of the Lord was upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war with Jehoshaphat.
11 Bato ya Filisitia bamemelaki Jozafati bakado mpe palata lokola mpako mpo na mokonzi; mpe bato ya Arabi bamemelaki ye bameme ya mibali nkoto sambo na nkama sambo mpe bantaba ya mibali nkoto sambo na nkama sambo.
Also from the Philistines did people bring unto Jehoshaphat presents and silver, as tribute: also the Arabians brought him small cattle, rams seven thousand and seven hundred, and he-goats seven thousand and seven hundred.
12 Wana nguya ya bokonzi ya Jozafati ekobaki kaka koya makasi, atongaki kati na Yuda bandako makasi mpe bingumba ya kobomba biloko.
And Jehoshaphat went on becoming exceedingly great, and he built in Judah castles and treasure-cities.
13 Kati na bingumba ya Yuda, azalaki na biloko ebele ya kolia; mpe kati na Yelusalemi, atiaki basoda ya mpiko.
And he had great works in the cities of Judah, and men of war, mighty in valor, in Jerusalem.
14 Tala motango na bango kolanda mabota na bango: Kati na libota ya Yuda, bakonzi ya bankoto: Adina, mokonzi ya basoda ya mpiko nkoto nkama misato;
And these are their numbers according to their family divisions: Of Judah, of the captains of the thousands was 'Adnah the chief, and with him were mighty men of valor, three hundred thousand.
15 sima na ye, Yoanani: mokonzi ya basoda ya mpiko nkoto nkama mibale na tuku mwambe;
And next to him was Jehochanan the chief, and with him were two hundred and eighty thousand.
16 sima na ye, Amasia, mwana mobali ya Zikiri, oyo amikabaki ye moko epai na Yawe: mokonzi ya basoda ya mpiko nkoto nkama mibale.
And next to him was 'Amassyah the son of Zichri, who voluntarily offered himself unto the Lord; and with him were two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
17 Kati na libota ya Benjame: Eliyada, elombe ya bitumba, azalaki mokonzi ya basoda ya mpiko nkoto nkama mibale oyo bazalaki na matolotolo mpe na banguba;
And of Benjamin, the mighty valiant Elyada', and with him were those armed with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
18 Yozabadi, mokonzi ya basoda ya mpiko nkoto nkama moko na tuku mwambe.
And next him was Jehozabad, and with him were one hundred and eighty thousand ready armed for the host.
19 Bato oyo nyonso bazalaki kosala epai ya mokonzi lokola bakonzi ya basoda ya mpiko, bakisa ba-oyo mokonzi atiaki kati na bingumba batonga makasi ya Yuda mobimba.
These were those that ministered to the king, besides those whom the king had placed in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
