2 Kroniška 17
1 Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Józafat in se okrepil zoper Izraela.
Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and 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 taken.
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 didn’t seek the Baals,
4 temveč je sledil Gospodu, Bogu svojega očeta in hodil po njegovih zapovedih in ne po Izraelovih ravnanjih.
but sought the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not in the ways of Israel.
5 Zato je Gospod utrdil kraljestvo v njegovi roki. Ves Juda je Józafatu prinesel darila in imel je bogastva, čast in obilje.
Therefore Yahweh established the kingdom in his hand. All Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and 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 lifted up in the ways of Yahweh. Furthermore, he took away the high places and the Asherah poles out of 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.
Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even 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.
and with them Levites, even Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
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 Yahweh’s law 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.
The fear 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 for tribute. The Arabians also brought him flocks: seven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred male goats.
