2 Dnevnika 17
1 Tada se zacari Josafat sin njegov na njegovo mjesto, i ukrijepi se na Izrailja.
And his son Jehoshaphat reigns in his stead, and he strengthens himself 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 puts a force in all the fortified cities of Judah, and puts garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.
3 I bijaše Gospod s Josafatom, jer hoðaše prvijem putovima Davida oca svojega i ne tražaše Vala.
And YHWH is with Jehoshaphat, for he has walked in the first ways of his father David, and has not sought for the Ba‘alim,
4 Nego Boga oca svojega tražaše i po zapovijestima njegovijem hoðaše, i ne èinjaše kao sinovi Izrailjevi.
for he has sought for the God of his father, and he has walked in His commands, and not according to the work of Israel.
5 Zato utvrdi Gospod carstvo u ruci njegovoj, i sav narod Judin davaše dare Josafatu, te imaše veliko blago i slavu.
And YHWH establishes the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah gives a present to Jehoshaphat, and he has riches and honor in abundance,
6 I srce se njegovo oslobodi na putovima Gospodnjim, te još obori visine i lugove u Judeji.
and his heart is high in the ways of YHWH, and again he has turned aside the high places and the Asherim out of 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;
And in the third year of his reign he has sent for his heads, for Ben-Hail, and for Obadiah, and for Zechariah, and for Nethaneel, and for Michaiah, to teach in cities 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 the Levites: Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijath, and Tob-Adonijah—the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
9 I uèahu po Judeji imajuæi pri sebi knjigu zakona Gospodnjega, i prohoðahu sve gradove Judine uèeæi narod.
And they teach in Judah, and the Scroll of the Law of YHWH [is] with them, and they go around into all cities of Judah, and teach among the people.
10 I doðe strah Gospodnji na sva carstva po zemljama oko Jude, te ne vojevaše na Josafata.
And there is a fear of YHWH on all kingdoms of the lands that [are] around Judah, and they have not fought with 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.
and [some] from the Philistines are bringing a present to Jehoshaphat, and silver [as] tribute; also, the Arabians are bringing to him a flock of seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred male goats.
12 Tako napredovaše Josafat i podiže se veoma; i sazida u Judeji kule i gradove za žitnice.
And Jehoshaphat is going on and becoming very great, and he builds palaces and cities of store in Judah,
13 I imaše mnogo dobra po gradovima Judinijem, i vojnika, hrabrijeh junaka u Jerusalimu.
and he has much work in cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, [are] 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 these [are] their numbers, for the house of their fathers—of Judah, heads of thousands: Adnah the head, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor;
15 A za njim Joanan vojvoda, s kojim bijaše dvjesta i osamdeset tisuæa;
and at his hand [is] Jehohanan the head, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;
16 A za njim Amasija sin Zihrijev, koji se dragovoljno dade Gospodu, i s njim bijaše dvjesta tisuæa hrabrijeh junaka.
and at his hand [is] Amasiah son of Zichri, who is willingly offering himself to YHWH, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
17 A od Venijamina: hrabri junak Elijada, s kojim bijaše dvjesta tisuæa naoružanijeh lukom i štitom;
And of Benjamin, mighty men of valor: Eliada, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
18 A za njim Jozavad, s kojim bijaše sto i osamdeset tisuæa naoružanijeh za boj.
and at his hand [is] Jehozabad, and with him one hundred and eighty thousand armed ones of the host.
19 Ovi služahu caru osim onijeh koje ponamješta car po tvrdijem gradovima u svoj zemlji Judinoj.
These [are] those serving the king, apart from those whom the king put in the fortress cities in all of Judah.
