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 Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, —and strengthened 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 put 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 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 it came to pass, that, Yahweh, was with Jehoshaphat, —because he walked in the first ways of David his father, and sought not unto the Baalim;
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, unto the God of his father, he sought, and, in his commandments, he walked, —and not according to the doing 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.
Therefore did Yahweh establish the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah gave a present unto Jehoshaphat, —and he came to have riches and honour, 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 was encouraged, in the ways of Yahweh, —and he, yet further, took away the high places and the Sacred Stems, 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 sent to his rulers, even to Ben-hail and to Obadiah and to Zechariah, and to Nethanel, and to Micaiah, —that they were to teach throughout the 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, Levites, Shemaiah and Nethaniah and Zebadiah and Asahel and Shemiramoth and Jehonathan, and Adonijah and Tobijah and Tob-adonijah, Levites, —and, with them, Elishama and Jehoram, 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 taught throughout Judah, and, with them, was the book of the law of Yahweh, —so they went round throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught 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 it came to pass, that, the dread of Yahweh, was upon all the kingdoms of the countries, that were round about Judah, —and they warred not against 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, from among the Philistines, were they bringing in unto Jehoshaphat a present, and silver as tribute, —even the Arabians, were bringing in unto him flocks, seven thousand seven hundred rams, and seven thousand seven hundred he-goats.
12 Na ka tino nui haere a Iehohapata. I hanga hoki etahi taumaihi e ia ki Hura, me etahi pa taonga.
And so it came to pass that, Jehoshaphat, went on waxing surpassingly great, —and he built, throughout Judah, fortresses and cities for store;
13 A he nui ana mahi i roto i nga pa o Hura; me nga tangata whawhai, nga toa marohirohi i Hiruharama.
and, much business, had he, throughout the cities of Judah, —but, the men of war, the heroes of valour, were 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 the numbers of them, by their ancestral house, —To Judah, pertained rulers of thousands, Adnah the chief, and, with him, mighty men of valour, three hundred thousand;
15 Na i tona taha ko Iehohanana, ko te rangatira; ko ona hoa e rua rau e waru tekau mano.
and, under his direction, was Jehohanan the chief, —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, under his direction, Amasiah son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto Yahweh, —and, with him, two hundred thousand heroes of valour.
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, out of Benjamin, a hero of valour, Eliada, —and, with him, armed with bow and buckler, two hundred thousand;
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, under his direction, Jehozabad, —and, with him, a hundred and eighty thousand, equipped for war.
19 Mo ta te kingi ake enei; haunga a te kingi i whakanoho ai ki nga pa taiepa puta noa i a Hura.
These, were they who were waiting upon the king, —besides those whom the king placed in the fortified cities, throughout all Judah.
