2 Dnevnika 17
1 Tada se zacari Josafat sin njegov na njegovo mjesto, i ukrijepi se na Izrailja.
And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, —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.
and put 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 captured.
3 I bijaše Gospod s Josafatom, jer hoðaše prvijem putovima Davida oca svojega i ne tražaše Vala.
And it came to pass, that, Yahweh, was with Jehoshaphat, —because he walked in the first ways of David his father, and sought not unto the Baalim;
4 Nego Boga oca svojega tražaše i po zapovijestima njegovijem hoðaše, i ne èinjaše kao sinovi Izrailjevi.
for, unto the God of his father, he sought, and, in his commandments, he walked, —and not according to the doing of Israel.
5 Zato utvrdi Gospod carstvo u ruci njegovoj, i sav narod Judin davaše dare Josafatu, te imaše veliko blago i slavu.
Therefore did Yahweh establish the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah gave a present unto Jehoshaphat, —and he came to have riches and honour, in abundance.
6 I srce se njegovo oslobodi na putovima Gospodnjim, te još obori visine i lugove u Judeji.
And his heart was encouraged, in the ways of Yahweh, —and he, yet further, took away the high places and the Sacred Stems, 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 sent to his rulers, even to Ben-hail and to Obadiah and to Zechariah, and to Nethanel, and to Micaiah, —that they were to teach throughout 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, Levites, Shemaiah and Nethaniah and Zebadiah and Asahel and Shemiramoth and Jehonathan, and Adonijah and Tobijah and Tob-adonijah, Levites, —and, with them, Elishama and Jehoram, priests;
9 I uèahu po Judeji imajuæi pri sebi knjigu zakona Gospodnjega, i prohoðahu sve gradove Judine uèeæi narod.
and they taught throughout Judah, and, with them, was the book of the law of Yahweh, —so they went round throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.
10 I doðe strah Gospodnji na sva carstva po zemljama oko Jude, te ne vojevaše na Josafata.
And it came to pass, that, the dread of Yahweh, was upon all the kingdoms of the countries, that were round about Judah, —and they warred not 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.
And, from among the Philistines, were they bringing in unto Jehoshaphat a present, and silver as tribute, —even the Arabians, were bringing in unto him flocks, seven thousand seven hundred rams, and seven thousand seven hundred he-goats.
12 Tako napredovaše Josafat i podiže se veoma; i sazida u Judeji kule i gradove za žitnice.
And so it came to pass that, Jehoshaphat, went on waxing surpassingly great, —and he built, throughout Judah, fortresses and cities for store;
13 I imaše mnogo dobra po gradovima Judinijem, i vojnika, hrabrijeh junaka u Jerusalimu.
and, much business, had he, throughout the cities of Judah, —but, the men of war, the heroes of valour, were 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 the numbers of them, by their ancestral house, —To Judah, pertained rulers of thousands, Adnah the chief, and, with him, mighty men of valour, three hundred thousand;
15 A za njim Joanan vojvoda, s kojim bijaše dvjesta i osamdeset tisuæa;
and, under his direction, was Jehohanan the chief, —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, under his direction, Amasiah son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto Yahweh, —and, with him, two hundred thousand heroes of valour.
17 A od Venijamina: hrabri junak Elijada, s kojim bijaše dvjesta tisuæa naoružanijeh lukom i štitom;
And, out of Benjamin, a hero of valour, Eliada, —and, with him, armed with bow and buckler, two hundred thousand;
18 A za njim Jozavad, s kojim bijaše sto i osamdeset tisuæa naoružanijeh za boj.
and, under his direction, Jehozabad, —and, with him, a hundred and eighty thousand, equipped for war.
19 Ovi služahu caru osim onijeh koje ponamješta car po tvrdijem gradovima u svoj zemlji Judinoj.
These, were they who were waiting upon the king, —besides those whom the king placed in the fortified cities, throughout all Judah.
