2 Tantara 17
1 Nandimbe aze nifehe t’Iehosafate anadahi’ey, le nihafatratse am’ Israele.
And his son Jehoshaphat reigns in his stead, and he strengthens himself against Israel,
2 Nampipoha’e lahindefoñe iaby o rova-fatrats’ Iehodao naho nampijadoña’e firimboñañe an-tane Iehoda ao vaho amo rova’ i Efraime rinambe’ i Asa rae’eo.
and puts a force in all the fortified cities of Judah, and puts garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.
3 Nindre am’ Iehosafate t’Iehovà, amy te nañaveloe’e o sata’ i Davide rae’e valoha’eo, le tsy pinai’e o Baaleo;
And YHWH is with Jehoshaphat, for he has walked in the first ways of his father David, and has not sought for the Ba‘alim,
4 nitsoeha’e t’i Andrianañaharen-drae’e, nañaveloe’e o lili’eo vaho tsy nanoe’e o sata’ Israeleo.
for he has sought for the God of his father, and he has walked in His commands, and not according to the work of Israel.
5 Aa le najado’ Iehovà am-pità’e i fifeheañey; le ninday ravoravo am’ Iehosafate t’Iehoda iaby ie nanam-bara naho engeñe ra’elahy.
And YHWH establishes the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah gives a present to Jehoshaphat, and he has riches and honor in abundance,
6 Le naonjoñe amo sata’ Iehovào ty arofo’e; mbore nafaha’e boake Iehoda ao o tambohoo naho o Aserào.
and his heart is high in the ways of YHWH, and again he has turned aside the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.
7 Ie tan-taom-paha-telo’ i fifehea’ey, le nirahe’e o roandria’eo, i Benekaile naho i Obadia naho i Zekarià naho i Netanele vaho i Mikaià hañoke amo rova Iehodao.
And in the third year of his reign he has sent for his heads, for Ben-Hail, and for Obadiah, and for Zechariah, and for Nethaneel, and for Michaiah, to teach in cities of Judah;
8 Nindre am’ iereo o nte-Levio; i Semaià naho i Netanià naho i Zebadià naho i Asahele naho i Semiramote naho Iehonatane naho i Adoniià naho i Tobiià vaho i Tobadonià, nte-Levy; nitraok’ am’ iereo t’i Elisamà naho Iehorame mpisoroñe,
and with them the Levites: Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijath, and Tob-Adonijah—the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
9 nañanatse e Iehodà ao, le am’ iereo ty boke’ i Hà’ Iehovà; nitsitsihe’ iereo o rova’ Iehodà iabio, nañoke ondatio.
And they teach in Judah, and the Scroll of the Law of YHWH [is] with them, and they go around into all cities of Judah, and teach among the people.
10 Nivotrak’ amo fonga fifeheañe naho tane mañohoke am’ Iehodao ty firevendreveñañe Iehovà vaho tsy eo ty nialy am’ Iehosafate.
And there is a fear of YHWH on all kingdoms of the lands that [are] around Judah, and they have not fought with Jehoshaphat;
11 Nandesa’ ty ila’ o nte-Pelistio ravoravo naho haba am-bolafoty; ninday hare o nte-Arabeo: añondrilahy fito-arivo-tsi-fitonjato naho oselahy fito-arivo-tsi-fitonjato.
and [some] from the Philistines are bringing a present to Jehoshaphat, and silver [as] tribute; also, the Arabians are bringing to him a flock of seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred male goats.

And Jehoshaphat is going on and becoming very great, and he builds palaces and cities of store in Judah,
13 Nimaro ty tolon-draha’e amo rova’ Iehodao vaho inao o lahindefoñe, fanalolahy maozatse e Ierosalaimeo.
and he has much work in cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, [are] in Jerusalem.
14 Le zao ty famoliliañe iareo ty aman’ anjomban-droae’e: am’ Iehoda, o mpifelek’ arivoo: i Adnà mpiaolo, reketse fanalolahy mahasibeke telo-hetse;
And these [are] their numbers, for the house of their fathers—of Judah, heads of thousands: Adnah the head, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor;
15 nanonjohy aze t’Iehohanane mpiaolo reketse roe-hetse-tsi-valo-ale;
and at his hand [is] Jehohanan the head, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;

And of Benjamin, mighty men of valor: Eliada, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
18 le añ’ila’e t’Iehozabade reketse rai-hetse-tsi-valo-ale veka’e hialy.
and at his hand [is] Jehozabad, and with him one hundred and eighty thousand armed ones of the host.

These [are] those serving the king, apart from those whom the king put in the fortress cities in all of Judah.
