2 Whakapapa 17
1 Na ko Iehohapata, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia, a ka tupu tona kaha ki te whawhai ki a Iharaira.
And his son Jehoshaphat reigns in his stead, and he strengthens himself against Israel,
2 A i whakanohoia e ia he hoia ki nga pa taiepa katoa o Hura; whakanohoia ana ano e ia he hoia tiaki ki te whenua o Hura, ki nga pa hoki o Eparaima i tangohia nei e tona papa, e Aha.
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 Na i a Iehohapata a Ihowa; mona i haere i nga ara tuatahi o tona papa, o Rawiri, kihai hoki i rapu i ta nga Paara;
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 Otiia rapua ana e ia te Atua o tona papa, haere ana i runga i ana whakahua; kihai tana i rite ki te mahi a Iharaira.
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 Mo reira ka whakatuturutia e Ihowa te kingitanga ki tona ringa; a mauria ana mai e Hura katoa he hakari ki a Iehohapata; a he nui hoki ana taonga, tona kororia.
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 I nui ano tona ngakau i runga i nga ara a Ihowa: i whakakahoretia atu hoki e ia nga wahi tiketike, me nga Aherimi i roto i a Hura.
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 Na i te toru o nga tau o tona kingitanga ka tonoa e ia ana rangatira, a Penehaira, a Oparia, a Tekaria, a Netaneere, a Mikaia kia whakaako i roto i nga pa o Hura;
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 A hei hoa mo ratou ko nga Riwaiti, ko Hemaia, ko Netania, ko Teparia, ko Atahere, ko Hemiramoto, ko Honatana, ko Aronia, ko Topia, ko Topoaronia, he Riwaiti ratou; hei hoa ano mo ratou ko Erihama, ko Iehorama, he tohunga enei.
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 Na kei te whakaako ratou i roto i a Hura: i a ratou ano te pukapuka o te ture a Ihowa; i haereerea ano hoki e ratou nga pa katoa o Hura a taka noa, whakaako ai i te iwi.
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 Na i runga te wehi o Ihowa i nga kingitanga katoa o nga whenua i tetahi taha o Hura i tetahi taha; heoi kihai ratou i whawhai ki a Iehohapata.
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 I mauria mai ano e etahi o nga Pirihitini he hakari ki a Iehohapata, me te hiriwa hei takoha. I kawea mai ano hoki e nga Arapi he hipi ki a ia, e whitu rau e whitu mano nga hipi toa, me nga koati toa e whitu mano e whitu rau.
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.
12 Na ka tino nui haere a Iehohapata. I hanga hoki etahi taumaihi e ia ki Hura, me etahi pa taonga.
And Jehoshaphat is going on and becoming very great, and he builds palaces and cities of store in Judah,
13 A he nui ana mahi i roto i nga pa o Hura; me nga tangata whawhai, nga toa marohirohi i Hiruharama.
and he has much work in cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, [are] in Jerusalem.
14 A ko to ratou tauanga tenei, i nga whare o o ratou matua: o Hura, ko nga rangatira mano; ko Arana te rangatira, a ko ona hoa e toru rau mano nga toa marohirohi:
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 Na i tona taha ko Iehohanana, ko te rangatira; ko ona hoa e rua rau e waru tekau mano.
and at his hand [is] Jehohanan the head, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;
16 Na i tona taha ko Amahia tama a Tikiri; he mea hihiko noa ia ki a Ihowa; ko ona hoa e rua rau mano nga toa marohirohi.
and at his hand [is] Amasiah son of Zichri, who is willingly offering himself to YHWH, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
17 Na, o Pineamine, ko Eriara, he toa marohirohi; ko ona hoa he hunga hapai i te kopere, i te whakangungu rakau, e rua rau mano.
And of Benjamin, mighty men of valor: Eliada, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
18 Na i tona taha ko Iehotapara; ko ona hoa kotahi rau e waru tekau mano, he hunga rite rawa i te patu mo te whawhai.
and at his hand [is] Jehozabad, and with him one hundred and eighty thousand armed ones of the host.
19 Mo ta te kingi ake enei; haunga a te kingi i whakanoho ai ki nga pa taiepa puta noa i a Hura.
These [are] those serving the king, apart from those whom the king put in the fortress cities in all of Judah.
