2 Kroniška 17
1 Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Józafat in se okrepil zoper Izraela.
Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king in his place. Jehoshaphat strengthened himself against Israel.
2 Namestil je sile v vsa utrjena Judova mesta in postavil garnizije v Judovi deželi in v Efrájimovih mestih, ki jih je zavzel njegov oče Asá.
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 captured.
3 Gospod je bil z Józafatom, ker je hodil po prvih poteh svojega očeta Davida in ni iskal Báalov,
Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and did not seek the Baals.
4 temveč je sledil Gospodu, Bogu svojega očeta in hodil po njegovih zapovedih in ne po Izraelovih ravnanjih.
Instead, he relied on the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, not after the behavior of Israel.
5 Zato je Gospod utrdil kraljestvo v njegovi roki. Ves Juda je Józafatu prinesel darila in imel je bogastva, čast in obilje.
So Yahweh established the rule in his hand; all Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat. He had riches and honor in abundance.
6 Njegovo srce je bilo vzdignjeno na Gospodovih poteh. Poleg tega je iz Juda odstranil visoke kraje in ašere.
His heart was committed to Yahweh's ways. He also removed the high places and the Asherah poles from Judah.
7 Tudi v tretjem letu svojega kraljevanja je poslal k svojim princem, torej k Ben Hajilu, k Obadjáju, k Zeharjáju, k Netanélu in k Mihajáju, da bi učili po Judovih mestih.
In the third year of his reign he sent his officials Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.
8 Z njimi je poslal Lévijevce, torej Šemajája, Netanjája, Zebadjája, Asaéla, Šemiramóta, Jehonatana, Adoníja, Tobija, Tob Adoníja, Lévijevce in z njimi duhovnika Elišamája in Jehoráma.
With them were Levites: Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-Adonijah; and with them were the priests Elishama and Jehoram.
9 Učili so v Judu in s seboj so imeli knjigo Gospodove postave in šli so naokoli po vseh Judovih mestih in učili ljudstvo.
They taught in Judah, having the book of the law of Yahweh with them. They went about throughout all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.
10 Gospodov strah je padel na vsa kraljestva dežel, ki so bile naokoli Juda, tako da zoper Józafata niso bojevali nobene vojne.
Terror of Yahweh fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
11 Tudi nekateri izmed Filistejcev so Józafatu prinesli darila in davek srebra. Arabci so mu privedli trope, sedem tisoč sedemsto ovnov in sedem tisoč sedemsto kozlov.
Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver as tribute. Arabians also brought him flocks, 7,700 rams, and 7,700 goats.
12 Józafat je postal silno velik in v Judu je zgradil gradove in skladiščna mesta.
Jehoshaphat became very powerful. He built fortresses and store cities in Judah.
13 Po Judovih mestih je imel mnogo posla. In v Jeruzalemu so bili bojevniki, močni junaški možje.
He had many supplies in the cities of Judah, and soldiers—strong, mighty men—in Jerusalem.
14 To so njihova števila glede na hišo njihovih očetov. Iz Juda poveljniki nad tisočimi: vodja Adnáh in z njim tristo tisoč močnih junaških mož.
These were their divisions listed by the name of their fathers' houses: From Judah, the commanders of thousands; Adnah the commander, and with him 300,000 fighting men;
15 Poleg njega je bil poveljnik Johanán in z njim dvesto osemdeset tisoč.
next to him Jehohanan the commander, and with him 280,000 men;
16 Poleg njega je bil Zihríjev sin Amasjá, ki se je voljno daroval Gospodu in z njim dvesto tisoč močnih junaških mož.
next to him Amasiah son of Zichri, who willingly offered to serve Yahweh; and with him 200,000 fighting men.
17 Od Benjamina Eljadá, mogočen hraber mož in z njim dvesto tisoč z lokom in ščitom oboroženih mož.
From Benjamin: Eliada a powerful man of courage, and with him 200,000 armed with bows and shields;
18 Poleg njega je bil Jozabád in z njim sto osemdeset tisoč pripravljenih za vojno.
next to him Jehozabad, and with him 180,000 ready prepared for war.
19 Ti so čakali na kralja, poleg tistih, ki jih je kralj namestil v utrjenih mestih po vsem Judu.
These were those who served the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
