2 Dnevnika 17
1 Tada se zacari Josafat sin njegov na njegovo mjesto, i ukrijepi se na Izrailja.
Then Jehoshaphat, his son, reigned in his place. And he grew strong against Israel.
2 I ponamješta vojsku po svijem tvrdijem gradovima Judinijem, i ponamješta straže po zemlji Judinoj i po gradovima Jefremovijem, koje zadobi Asa otac njegov.
And he appointed numbers of soldiers in all the cities of Judah that had been fortified with walls. And he placed garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had seized.
3 I bijaše Gospod s Josafatom, jer hoðaše prvijem putovima Davida oca svojega i ne tražaše Vala.
And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father, David. And he did not trust in the Baals,
4 Nego Boga oca svojega tražaše i po zapovijestima njegovijem hoðaše, i ne èinjaše kao sinovi Izrailjevi.
but in the God of his father. And he advanced in his precepts, and not according to the sins of Israel.
5 Zato utvrdi Gospod carstvo u ruci njegovoj, i sav narod Judin davaše dare Josafatu, te imaše veliko blago i slavu.
And the Lord confirmed the kingdom in his hand. And all of Judah gave gifts to Jehoshaphat. And innumerable riches were brought to him, and much glory.
6 I srce se njegovo oslobodi na putovima Gospodnjim, te još obori visine i lugove u Judeji.
And when his heart had taken courage because of the ways of the Lord, he now also took away the high places and the sacred groves from Judah.
7 I treæe godine svoga carovanja posla knezove svoje Ven-Aila i Ovadiju i Zahariju i Natanaila i Miheju da uèe po gradovima Judinijem;
Then, in the third year of his reign, he sent Benhail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, from among his leaders, so that they might teach in the cites of Judah.
8 I s njima Levite: Semaju i Nataniju i Zevadiju i Asaila i Semiramota i Jonatana i Adoniju i Toviju i Tov-Adoniju, Levite, i s njima Elisamu i Jorama sveštenike.
And with them were the Levites Shemaiah and Nethaniah and Zebadiah, and also Asahel and Shemiramoth and Jehonathan, and the Levites Adonijah and Tobijah and Tobadonijah. And with them were the priests Elishama and Jehoram.
9 I uèahu po Judeji imajuæi pri sebi knjigu zakona Gospodnjega, i prohoðahu sve gradove Judine uèeæi narod.
And they were teaching the people in Judah, having with them the book of the law of the Lord. And they were traveling through all the cities of Judah, and were instructing the people.
10 I doðe strah Gospodnji na sva carstva po zemljama oko Jude, te ne vojevaše na Josafata.
And so, the fear of the Lord fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands which were around Judah. And they did not dare to make war against Jehoshaphat.
11 I sami Filisteji donošahu Josafatu dare i danak u novcu; i Arapi dogonjahu mu stoku, po sedam tisuæa i sedam stotina ovnova i po sedam tisuæa i sedam stotina jaraca.
Moreover, the Philistines carried gifts to Jehoshaphat, and a tribute in silver. Also, the Arabians brought cattle: seven thousand seven hundred rams, and the same number of he-goats.
12 Tako napredovaše Josafat i podiže se veoma; i sazida u Judeji kule i gradove za žitnice.
Therefore, Jehoshaphat increased and was magnified, even on high. And in Judah, he built houses in the likeness of towers, and walled cities.
13 I imaše mnogo dobra po gradovima Judinijem, i vojnika, hrabrijeh junaka u Jerusalimu.
And he prepared many works in the cities of Judah. Also, there were men experienced in warfare in Jerusalem,
14 A ovo je broj njihov po domovima otaca njihovijeh; od Jude tisuænici: Adna vojvoda, s kojim bijaše tri stotine tisuæa hrabrijeh junaka.
and this is the number of them, by each of the houses and families. In Judah, the leader of the army was Adnah, the commander; and with him were three hundred thousand very experienced men.
15 A za njim Joanan vojvoda, s kojim bijaše dvjesta i osamdeset tisuæa;
After him, Jehohanan was the leader; and with him were two hundred eighty thousand.
16 A za njim Amasija sin Zihrijev, koji se dragovoljno dade Gospodu, i s njim bijaše dvjesta tisuæa hrabrijeh junaka.
Also after him, there was Amasiah, the son of Zichri, who was consecrated to the Lord; and with him were two hundred thousand strong men.
17 A od Venijamina: hrabri junak Elijada, s kojim bijaše dvjesta tisuæa naoružanijeh lukom i štitom;
Following him, there was Eliada, who was experienced in battle; and with him were two hundred thousand, holding bow and shield.
18 A za njim Jozavad, s kojim bijaše sto i osamdeset tisuæa naoružanijeh za boj.
Then too, after him, there was Jehozabad; and with him were one hundred eighty thousand lightly-armed soldiers.
19 Ovi služahu caru osim onijeh koje ponamješta car po tvrdijem gradovima u svoj zemlji Judinoj.
All these were at the hand of the king, aside from the others, whom he had positioned in the walled cities, in all of Judah.
