2 Dnevnika 17
1 Tada se zacari Josafat sin njegov na njegovo mjesto, i ukrijepi se na Izrailja.
Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened 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.
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 I bijaše Gospod s Josafatom, jer hoðaše prvijem putovima Davida oca svojega i ne tražaše Vala.
Jehovah was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father, and did not seek the Baals,
4 Nego Boga oca svojega tražaše i po zapovijestima njegovijem hoðaše, i ne èinjaše kao sinovi Izrailjevi.
but sought to the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
5 Zato utvrdi Gospod carstvo u ruci njegovoj, i sav narod Judin davaše dare Josafatu, te imaše veliko blago i slavu.
Therefore Jehovah established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat tribute; and he had riches and honor in abundance.
6 I srce se njegovo oslobodi na putovima Gospodnjim, te još obori visine i lugove u Judeji.
His heart was lifted up in the ways of Jehovah: and furthermore he took away 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;
Also in the third year of his reign he sent his officials, even Ben Hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the 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, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, 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.
They taught in Judah, having the scroll of the law of Jehovah with them; and they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people.
10 I doðe strah Gospodnji na sva carstva po zemljama oko Jude, te ne vojevaše na Josafata.
The fear of Jehovah fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no 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.
Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver for tribute; the Arabians also brought him flocks, 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.
Jehoshaphat grew great exceedingly; and he built in Judah fortresses and cities of store.
13 I imaše mnogo dobra po gradovima Judinijem, i vojnika, hrabrijeh junaka u Jerusalimu.
He had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, 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.
This was the numbering of them according to their fathers' houses: Of Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him mighty men of valor three hundred thousand;
15 A za njim Joanan vojvoda, s kojim bijaše dvjesta i osamdeset tisuæa;
and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred eighty thousand;
16 A za njim Amasija sin Zihrijev, koji se dragovoljno dade Gospodu, i s njim bijaše dvjesta tisuæa hrabrijeh junaka.
and next to him Amasiah the son of Zikri, who willingly offered himself to Jehovah; 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;
Of Benjamin: Eliada a mighty man of valor, 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 next to him Jehozabad and with him one hundred eighty thousand ready prepared for war.
19 Ovi služahu caru osim onijeh koje ponamješta car po tvrdijem gradovima u svoj zemlji Judinoj.
These were those who waited on the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
