< 2 Crônicas 17 >
1 E reinou em seu lugar Josafá seu filho, o qual prevaleceu contra Israel.
And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
2 E pôs exército em todas as cidades fortes de Judá, e colocou gente de guarnição, em terra de Judá, e também nas cidades de Efraim que seu pai Asa havia tomado.
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, which Asa his father had taken.
3 E foi o SENHOR com Josafá, porque andou nos primeiros caminhos de Davi seu pai, e não buscou aos baalins;
And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not to Baalim;
4 mas buscou o Deus de seu pai, e andou em seus mandamentos, e não segundo as obras de Israel.
But sought to the LORD God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
5 Por isso o SENHOR confirmou o reino em sua mão, e todo Judá deu presentes a Josafá; e teve riquezas e glória em abundância.
Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat tribute; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
6 E animou-se seu coração nos caminhos do SENHOR, e tirou os altos e os bosques de Judá.
And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.
7 Ao terceiro ano de seu reinado enviou seus príncipes Bene-Hail, Obadias, Zacarias, Natanael e Micaías, para que ensinassem nas cidades de Judá;
Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Benhail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.
8 E com eles aos levitas, Semaías, Netanias, Zebadias, e Asael, e Semiramote, e Jônatas, e Adonias, e Tobias, e Tobadonias, levitas; e com eles a Elisama e a Jorão, sacerdotes.
And with them he sent Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests.
9 E ensinaram em Judá, tendo consigo o livro da lei do SENHOR, e rodearam por todas as cidades de Judá ensinando ao povo.
And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.
10 E caiu o pavor do SENHOR sobre todos os reinos das terras que estavam ao redor de Judá; que não ousaram fazer guerra contra Josafá.
And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
11 E dos filisteus traziam presentes a Josafá, e tributos de prata. Os árabes também lhe trouxeram gado: sete mil e setecentos carneiros e sete mil e setecentos bodes.
Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred male goats.
12 Ia pois Josafá crescendo altamente: e edificou em Judá fortalezas e cidades de depósitos.
And Jehoshaphat became exceedingly great; and he built in Judah fortresses, and cities of store.
13 Teve ademais muitas obras nas cidades de Judá, e homens de guerra muito valentes em Jerusalém.
And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem.
14 E este é o número deles segundo as casas de seus pais: em Judá, chefes dos milhares: o general Adna, e com ele trezentos mil homens muito esforçados;
And these are the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers: Of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the chief, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand.
15 Depois dele, o chefe Joanã, e com ele duzentos e oitenta mil;
And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand.
16 Depois este, Amasias filho de Zicri, o qual se havia oferecido voluntariamente ao SENHOR, e com ele duzentos mil homens valentes;
And next to him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour.
17 De Benjamim, Eliada, homem muito valente, e com ele duzentos mil armados de arco e escudo;
And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
18 Depois este, Jozabade, e com ele cento e oitenta mil preparados para a guerra.
And next to him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and eighty thousand ready prepared for the war.
19 Estes eram servos do rei, sem os que havia o rei posto nas cidades de guarnição por toda Judá.
These waited on the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
