2 Tantara 17
1 Nandimbe aze nifehe t’Iehosafate anadahi’ey, le nihafatratse am’ Israele.
Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened 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.
He placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
3 Nindre am’ Iehosafate t’Iehovà, amy te nañaveloe’e o sata’ i Davide rae’e valoha’eo, le tsy pinai’e o Baaleo;
The LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father, and did not seek the Baals,
4 nitsoeha’e t’i Andrianañaharen-drae’e, nañaveloe’e o lili’eo vaho tsy nanoe’e o sata’ Israeleo.
but sought to the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings 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.
Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat tribute; and he had 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.
His heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: and furthermore he took away 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.
Also in the third year of his reign he sent his officials, even Ben Hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the 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, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, 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.
They taught in Judah, having the scroll of the law of the LORD with them; and they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people.
10 Nivotrak’ amo fonga fifeheañe naho tane mañohoke am’ Iehodao ty firevendreveñañe Iehovà vaho tsy eo ty nialy am’ Iehosafate.
The fear of the LORD fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against 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.
Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver for tribute; the Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred male goats.
12 Nitoabotse avao ty enge’ Iehosafate; le namboare’e e Iehoda ao ty rova fatratse naho rovam-pañajàñe.
Jehoshaphat grew great exceedingly; and he built in Judah fortresses and cities of store.
13 Nimaro ty tolon-draha’e amo rova’ Iehodao vaho inao o lahindefoñe, fanalolahy maozatse e Ierosalaimeo.
He had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, 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;
This was the numbering of them according to their fathers' houses: Of Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him mighty men of valor three hundred thousand;

18 le añ’ila’e t’Iehozabade reketse rai-hetse-tsi-valo-ale veka’e hialy.
and next to him Jehozabad and with him one hundred eighty thousand ready prepared for war.
19 Irezay ro nitoroñe i mpanjakay mandikoatse o napo’e amo rova fatratse nanitsike Iehodào iabio.
These were those who waited on the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
