२ इतिहास 17
1 आसाका छोरा यहोशापात तिनको ठाउँमा राजा भए । यहोशापातले इस्राएलको विरूद्ध आफैलाई मजबुत बनाए ।
And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and 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 ।
And he placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim that Asa his father had taken.
3 परमप्रभु यहोशापातसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो किनकि तिनी आफ्ना पिता दाऊदले देखाएका उदाहरणअनुसार सुरु-सुरुमा हिंडे, र बालको खोजी गरेनन् ।
And Jehovah was with Jehoshaphat, for he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto 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 in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
5 यसरी परमप्रभुले तिनको हातमा शासन स्थापित गर्नुभयो । सारा यहूदाले यहोशापातलाई कर तिरे । तिनीसित धन-सम्पत्ति र ख्याति प्रशस्त थियो ।
And Jehovah established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah gave gifts to Jehoshaphat; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
6 तिनको हृदय परमप्रभुका मार्गमा समर्पित थिए । तिनले यहूदाबाट डाँडाका थानहरू र अशेरा देवीका मूर्तिहरू हटाउने काम पनि गरे ।
And he took courage in the ways of Jehovah; moreover, he removed the high places and Asherahs out of Judah.
7 आफ्नो राजकालको तेस्रो वर्षमा तिनले आफ्ना अधिकारीहरू बेन-हेल, ओबदिया, जकरिया, नतनेल र मीकायालाई यहूदाका सहरहरूमा शिक्षा दिनलाई पठाए ।
And in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, Ben-hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethaneel, and Micah, 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 ।
and with them the Levites: Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-Adonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
9 तिनीहरूले आफूसित परमप्रभुका व्यवस्थाको पुस्तक लिएर यहूदामा सिकाए । तिनीहरू यहूदाका सबै सहरमा गए र मानिसहरूका माझमा सिकाए ।
And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of Jehovah with them; and they went about through all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people.
10 यहूदाको वरिपरि भएका सबै राज्यहरूमा परमप्रभुको भय पर्यो, जसले गर्दा उनीहरूले यहोशापातको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गरेनन् ।
And the terror of Jehovah was upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, and they made no 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 ।
And some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat gifts and tribute-silver. The Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand seven hundred rams, and seven thousand seven hundred he-goats.
12 यहोशापात धेरै शक्तिशाली भए । तिनले यहूदामा किल्लाहरू र भण्डार राख्ने सहरहरू बनाए ।
And Jehoshaphat waxed exceeding great; and he built in Judah castles and store-cities.
13 यहूदाका सहरहरूमा तिनीसँग प्रशस्त खानेकुरा बलिया, र यरूशलेममा बलिया र शक्तिशाली मानिस सिपाहीहरू थिए ।
And he had much business in the cities of Judah; and men of war, strong and valiant, in Jerusalem.
14 तिनीहरू आआफ्नो पिताका घरानाअनुसार सूचिकृत गरिएका दलहरू यी नै थिएः यहूदाबाट हजारका फौज पतिहरू, फौज पति अदनाह र तिनका साथमा तीन लाख योद्धाहरू ।
And these are the numbers of them according to their fathers' houses. Of Judah the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valour;
15 तिनीपछि फौज पति येहोहानान र तिनका साथमा दुई लाख असी हजार मानिसहरू।
and next to him was Johanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;
16 तिनीपछि जिक्रीका छोरा अमसिया, जसले स्वेच्छाले परमप्रभुका सेवाको निम्ति आफूलाई समर्पित गरे । अनि तिनीसँग दुई लाखको योद्धाहरू ।
and next to him, Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to Jehovah; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour.
17 बेन्यामीनबाटः एक जना शक्तिशाली व्यक्ति एल्यादा, र तिनका साथमा धनु र ढालले सुसज्जित भएका दुई लाखको फौज ।
And of Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valour, and with him two hundred thousand, armed with bow and shield;
18 तिनीपछि यहोजाबाद, र तिनका साथमा युद्धको निम्ति तयार भएका एक लाख असी हजारको फौज ।
and next to him was Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand ready prepared for war.
19 यिनीहरू यहूदाका किल्ला भएका सहरहरूमा राजाले राखेकाबाहेकका थिए ।
These were they that waited on the king, besides those that the king had put in the fortified cities throughout Judah.
