2 Tantara 17
1 Nandimbe aze nifehe t’Iehosafate anadahi’ey, le nihafatratse am’ Israele.
And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, 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.
And he placed forces in all the fenced 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;
And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto the Baalim;
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 stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour 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 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 princes, 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 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 taught in Judah, having the book 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.
And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about 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.
And 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 he-goats.
12 Nitoabotse avao ty enge’ Iehosafate; le namboare’e e Iehoda ao ty rova fatratse naho rovam-pañajàñe.
And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles and cities of store.
13 Nimaro ty tolon-draha’e amo rova’ Iehodao vaho inao o lahindefoñe, fanalolahy maozatse e Ierosalaimeo.
And he had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valour, 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 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 valour three hundred thousand:
15 nanonjohy aze t’Iehohanane mpiaolo reketse roe-hetse-tsi-valo-ale;
and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand:
16 nañorik’ aze t’i Amasià, ana’ i Zikrý, mpanolo-batañe ho am’ Iehovà, fanalolahy maozatse roe-hetse ty tama’e;
and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour:
17 le amy Beniamine, i Eliada, lahindefo maozatse nahasibeke, reketse mpitàm-pale naho fikalandefoñe roe-hetse;
And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, 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 next to him Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for war.
19 Irezay ro nitoroñe i mpanjakay mandikoatse o napo’e amo rova fatratse nanitsike Iehodào iabio.
These were they that waited on the king, beside those whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.
