२ इतिहास 17
1 आसाका छोरा यहोशापात तिनको ठाउँमा राजा भए । यहोशापातले इस्राएलको विरूद्ध आफैलाई मजबुत बनाए ।
Asa’s son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place, and he strengthened himself against Israel.
2 तिनले यहूदाका किल्ला भएका सबै सहरमा फौज राखे, र यहूदाभरि र तिनका पिता आसाले कब्जा गरेका एफ्राइमका सहरहरूमा रक्षाको निम्ति छाउनीहरू राखे ।
He stationed troops in every fortified city of Judah and put garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.
3 परमप्रभु यहोशापातसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो किनकि तिनी आफ्ना पिता दाऊदले देखाएका उदाहरणअनुसार सुरु-सुरुमा हिंडे, र बालको खोजी गरेनन् ।
Now the LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the earlier ways of his father David. He did not seek out the Baals,
4 बरू, तिनले आफ्ना पिताका परमेश्वरमा भरोसा गरे, र तिनका आज्ञाहरूमा चले, इस्राएलका व्यवहारअनुसार होइन ।
but he sought the God of his father and walked by His commandments rather than the practices of Israel.
5 यसरी परमप्रभुले तिनको हातमा शासन स्थापित गर्नुभयो । सारा यहूदाले यहोशापातलाई कर तिरे । तिनीसित धन-सम्पत्ति र ख्याति प्रशस्त थियो ।
So the LORD established the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah brought him tribute, so that he had an abundance of riches and honor.
6 तिनको हृदय परमप्रभुका मार्गमा समर्पित थिए । तिनले यहूदाबाट डाँडाका थानहरू र अशेरा देवीका मूर्तिहरू हटाउने काम पनि गरे ।
And his heart took delight in the ways of the LORD; furthermore, he removed the high places and Asherah poles from Judah.
7 आफ्नो राजकालको तेस्रो वर्षमा तिनले आफ्ना अधिकारीहरू बेन-हेल, ओबदिया, जकरिया, नतनेल र मीकायालाई यहूदाका सहरहरूमा शिक्षा दिनलाई पठाए ।
In the third year of his reign, Jehoshaphat sent his officials Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah to teach in the cities of Judah,
8 तिनीहरूसँग लेवीहरू शमायाह, नतन्याह, जबदियाह, असाहेल, शमीरामोत, यहोनातान, अदोनियाह, तोबियाह र तोब-अदोनियाह, र तिनीहरूसँग पुजारी एलीशामा र यहोराम थिए ।
accompanied by certain Levites—Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah—along with the priests Elishama and Jehoram.
9 तिनीहरूले आफूसित परमप्रभुका व्यवस्थाको पुस्तक लिएर यहूदामा सिकाए । तिनीहरू यहूदाका सबै सहरमा गए र मानिसहरूका माझमा सिकाए ।
They taught throughout Judah, taking with them the Book of the Law of the LORD. They went throughout the towns of Judah and taught the people.
10 यहूदाको वरिपरि भएका सबै राज्यहरूमा परमप्रभुको भय पर्यो, जसले गर्दा उनीहरूले यहोशापातको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गरेनन् ।
And the dread of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that surrounded Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.
11 पलिश्तीमध्ये कसैले यहोशापातकहाँ करको रूपमा उपहारहरू र चाँदीको ल्याए । अरबीहरूले तिनका निम्ति पनि सात हजार सात सय भेडा र सात हजार सात सय बोकाहरू ल्याए ।
Some Philistines also brought gifts and silver as tribute to Jehoshaphat, and the Arabs brought him 7,700 rams and 7,700 goats from their flocks.
12 यहोशापात धेरै शक्तिशाली भए । तिनले यहूदामा किल्लाहरू र भण्डार राख्ने सहरहरू बनाए ।
Jehoshaphat grew stronger and stronger, and he built fortresses and store cities in Judah
13 यहूदाका सहरहरूमा तिनीसँग प्रशस्त खानेकुरा बलिया, र यरूशलेममा बलिया र शक्तिशाली मानिस सिपाहीहरू थिए ।
and kept vast supplies in the cities of Judah. He also had warriors in Jerusalem who were mighty men of valor.
14 तिनीहरू आआफ्नो पिताका घरानाअनुसार सूचिकृत गरिएका दलहरू यी नै थिएः यहूदाबाट हजारका फौज पतिहरू, फौज पति अदनाह र तिनका साथमा तीन लाख योद्धाहरू ।
These are their numbers according to the houses of their fathers: From Judah, the commanders of thousands: Adnah the commander, and with him 300,000 mighty men of valor;
15 तिनीपछि फौज पति येहोहानान र तिनका साथमा दुई लाख असी हजार मानिसहरू।
next to him, Jehohanan the commander, and with him 280,000;
16 तिनीपछि जिक्रीका छोरा अमसिया, जसले स्वेच्छाले परमप्रभुका सेवाको निम्ति आफूलाई समर्पित गरे । अनि तिनीसँग दुई लाखको योद्धाहरू ।
and next to him, Amasiah son of Zichri, the volunteer for the LORD, and with him 200,000 mighty men of valor.
17 बेन्यामीनबाटः एक जना शक्तिशाली व्यक्ति एल्यादा, र तिनका साथमा धनु र ढालले सुसज्जित भएका दुई लाखको फौज ।
From Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valor, and with him 200,000 armed with bows and shields;
18 तिनीपछि यहोजाबाद, र तिनका साथमा युद्धको निम्ति तयार भएका एक लाख असी हजारको फौज ।
and next to him, Jehozabad, and with him 180,000 armed for battle.
19 यिनीहरू यहूदाका किल्ला भएका सहरहरूमा राजाले राखेकाबाहेकका थिए ।
These were the men who served the king, besides those he stationed in the fortified cities throughout Judah.
