2 Crônicas 17
1 Jehoshaphat seu filho reinava em seu lugar, e se fortalecia contra Israel.
And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
2 Ele colocou forças em todas as cidades fortificadas de Judá, e colocou guarnições na terra de Judá e nas cidades de Efraim, que Asa seu pai 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 Yahweh estava com Jeosafá, porque ele andou nos primeiros caminhos de seu pai Davi, e não procurou os Baal,
And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not to Baalim;
4 mas procurou o Deus de seu pai, e andou nos seus mandamentos, e não nos caminhos de Israel.
But sought to the LORD God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
5 Portanto Yahweh estabeleceu o reino em sua mão. Todo Judá trouxe tributo a Jeosafá, e ele tinha riquezas e honra 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 Seu coração foi levantado nos caminhos de Iavé. Além disso, ele tirou os lugares altos e os bastões de Asherah 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 Também no terceiro ano de seu reinado ele enviou seus príncipes, até Ben Hail, Obadiah, Zacarias, Nethanel e Micaías, para ensinar 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 os levitas, até mesmo Semaías, Netanias, Zebadias, Asael, Semiramote, Jeonatã, Adonias, Tobias e Tobadonias, os levitas; e com eles Elishama e Jeorão, os 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 Eles ensinaram em Judá, tendo o livro da lei de Yahweh com eles. Eles andaram por todas as cidades de Judá e ensinaram entre o 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 O medo de Javé caiu sobre todos os reinos das terras que estavam ao redor de Judá, de modo que eles não fizeram nenhuma guerra contra Jeosafá.
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 Alguns filisteus trouxeram presentes de Jeosafá e prata para homenagear. Os árabes também lhe trouxeram rebanhos: sete mil setecentos carneiros e sete mil setecentos caprinos machos.
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 Jehoshaphat cresceu excessivamente; e construiu fortalezas e armazena cidades em Judá.
And Jehoshaphat became exceedingly great; and he built in Judah fortresses, and cities of store.
13 Ele tinha muitas obras nas cidades de Judá; e homens de guerra, poderosos homens de valor, 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 Esta era a numeração deles de acordo com as casas de seus pais: De Judá, os capitães de milhares: Adnah o capitão, e com ele trezentos mil homens valentes;
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 e ao seu lado Jehohanan o capitão, e com ele duzentos e oitenta mil;
And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand.
16 e ao seu lado Amasias o filho de Zicri, que voluntariamente se ofereceu a Javé, 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, um homem poderoso e valoroso, e com ele duzentos mil armados com 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 e ao seu lado Jehozabad, e com ele cento e oitenta mil prontos e 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 foram os que esperaram pelo rei, além daqueles que o rei colocou nas cidades fortificadas em todo o Judá.
These waited on the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
