2 Seenaa 17
1 Yehooshaafaax ilmi Aasaa iddoo abbaa isaa mootii taʼe; Israaʼelittis ni cime.
And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his place, and made himself strong against Israel.
2 Innis magaalaawwan Yihuudaa kanneen jabeeffamanii ijaaraman hunda keessa loltoota ni qubachiise; Yihuudaa fi magaalaawwan Efreem kanneen abbaan isaa Aasaan qabatee ture keessas loltoota magaalaa eegan ni kaaʼe.
He put forces in all the walled towns of Judah, and responsible chiefs in the land of Judah and in the towns of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
3 Sababii Yehooshaafaax bara dargaggummaa isaa keessa karaa abbaan isaa Daawit jiraachaa ture irra deddeebiʼeef Waaqayyo isa wajjin ture. Inni Baʼaal duukaa hin buune;
And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he went in the early ways of his father, not turning to the Baals,
4 waan Israaʼeloonni hojjetan duukaa buʼuu dhiisee Waaqa abbootii isaa duukaa buʼuudhaan ajaja isaa ni eege.
But turning to the God of his father and keeping his laws, and not doing as Israel did.
5 Waaqayyos harka isaa jalatti mootummaa cimsee ni dhaabe; akka inni qabeenyaa fi ulfina guddaa qabaatuufis Yihuudoonni hundi Yehooshaafaaxiif kennaa fidaa turan.
So the Lord made his kingdom strong; and all Judah gave offerings to Jehoshaphat, and he had great wealth and honour.
6 Garaan isaas karaa Waaqayyootiif banamaa ture; kana malees iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraatii fi siidaawwan Aasheeraa Yihuudaa keessaa ni balleesse.
His heart was lifted up in the ways of the Lord; and he went so far as to take away the high places and the wood pillars out of Judah.
7 Bara mootummaa isaa keessaa waggaa sadaffaatti akka isaan magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessatti barsiisaniif qondaaltota isaa jechuunis Ben-Haayil, Obaadiyaa, Zakkaariyaas, Naatnaaʼelii fi Miikaayaasin ni erge.
In the third year of his rule he sent Benhail and Obadiah and Zechariah and Nethanel and Micaiah, his captains, as teachers into the towns of Judah;
8 Lewwonni tokko tokko isaan wajjin turan; jarris: Shemaaʼiyaa, Netaaniyaa, Zebaadiyaa, Asaaheel, Shemiiraamoot, Yoonaataan, Adooniyaa, Xoobbiyyahuu fi Xoob-Adooniyaa feʼa. Luboonni immoo Eliishaamaa fi Yehooraam turan.
And with them, Shemaiah and Nethaniah and Zebadiah and Asahel and Shemiramoth and Jehonathan and Adonijah and Tobijah and Tob-adonijah, the Levites; and Elishama and Jehoram the priests.
9 Isaanis Kitaaba Seera Waaqayyoo fuudhanii deemanii guutummaa Yihuudaa keessatti ni barsiisan; magaalaawwan Yihuudaa hunda keessas deemanii saba ni barsiisan.
And they gave teaching in Judah and had the book of the law of the Lord with them; they went through all the towns of Judah teaching the people.
10 Sababii sodaachisni Waaqayyoo mootummoota biyyoota naannoo Yihuudaa jiran irra buʼeef isaan Yehooshaafaax wajjin wal hin lolle.
And the fear of the Lord was on all the kingdoms of the lands round Judah, so that they made no wars against Jehoshaphat.
11 Filisxeemonni tokko tokko kennaawwanii fi meetii akka gibiraatti fidanii Yehooshaafaaxiif ni kennan; Araboonni immoo bushaayee jechuunis korbeeyyii hoolaa kuma torbaa fi dhibba torbaa fi korbeeyyii reʼee kuma torbaa fi dhibba torba fidaniif.
And some of the Philistines took offerings to Jehoshaphat, and made him payments of silver; and the Arabians gave him flocks, seven thousand, seven hundred sheep, and seven thousand, seven hundred he-goats.
12 Yehooshaafaaxis ittuma caalchisee jabaachaa ni deeme; Yihuudaa keessattis daʼannoowwanii fi magaalaawwan miʼa itti kuusan ni ijaare;
Jehoshaphat became greater and greater, and made strong towers and store-towns in Judah.
13 inni mankuusaalee baayʼee magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessaa qaba ture. Loltoota muuxannoo qabanis Yerusaalem keessa turse.
He had much property in the towns of Judah; he had forces of armed men, great and strong, in Jerusalem.
14 Haalli isaan itti maatii maatiidhaan hiriiranis kana: Yihuudaa keessaa ajajjoota gareewwanii 1,000: Adinaahi ajajjichi loltoota 300,000 wajjin;
This is the number of them, listed by their families, the captains of thousands of Judah: Adnah, the captain, and with him three hundred thousand men of war;
15 isatti aanee Yehohaanaan ajajjichi loltoota 280,000 wajjin;
Second to him Jehohanan, the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;
16 isatti aanee immoo Amaasiyaa ilma Zikrii kan tajaajila Waaqayyootiif jedhee of kenne loltoota 200,000 wajjin.
After him Amasiah, the son of Zichri, who freely gave himself to the Lord, and with him two hundred thousand men of war;
17 Gosa Beniyaam keessaa: Eliyaadaan loltuun jabaan sun loltoota xiyyaa fi gaachana qabatan 200,000 wajjin;
And the captains of Benjamin: Eliada, a great man of war, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bows and body-covers;
18 isatti aanee immoo Yehoozaabaad namoota lolaaf qophaaʼan 180,000 wajjin hiriire.
And after him Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand trained for war.
19 Isaan kunneen namoota inni magaalaawwan guutummaa Yihuudaa keessatti jabeeffamanii ijaaraman keessa qubachiiseen alatti warra mooticha tajaajilaa turanii dha.
These were the men who were waiting on the king, in addition to those placed by the king in the walled towns through all Judah.
