2 Crónicas 17
1 Su hijo Josafat reinó en su lugar y se fortaleció contra Israel.
And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, —and strengthened himself against Israel;
2 Destacó tropas en todas las ciudades fortificadas de Judá y colocó guarniciones en la tierra de Judá y en las ciudades de Efraín que su padre Asa capturó.
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 Yavé estuvo con Josafat, porque anduvo en los procedimientos de su antepasado David. No acudió a los baales,
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 sino acudió al ʼElohim de su padre. Anduvo en sus Mandamientos y no según las obras de Israel.
for, unto the God of his father, he sought, and, in his commandments, he walked, —and not according to the doing of Israel.
5 Yavé confirmó el reino en su mano. Todo Judá dio presentes a Josafat, y tuvo riqueza y honores en abundancia.
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 Su corazón se animó en los caminos de Yavé, y quitó de Judá los lugares altos y las Aseras.
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 En el tercer año de su reinado, [el rey Josafat] envió a sus magistrados Ben-hail, Abdías, Zacarías, Natanael y Micaías, a enseñar en las ciudades de Judá.
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 Envió con ellos a los levitas Semaías, Netanías, Zebadías, Asael, Semiramot, Jonatán, Adonías, Tobías, Tobadonías y a los sacerdotes Elisama y Joram.
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 Ellos enseñaron en Judá y llevaban consigo el Rollo de la Ley de Yavé. Recorrieron todas las ciudades de Judá y enseñaban al pueblo.
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 El pavor de Yavé cayó sobre todos los reinos de las tierras que estaban alrededor de Judá, y no hicieron guerra contra Josafat.
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 Algunos de los filisteos llevaban a Josafat presentes y plata como tributo. También los árabes le llevaron rebaños: 7.700 carneros y 7.700 machos cabríos.
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 Josafat llegó a ser muy grande. Edificó en Judá fortalezas y ciudades de almacenamiento.
And so it came to pass that, Jehoshaphat, went on waxing surpassingly great, —and he built, throughout Judah, fortresses and cities for store;
13 Además tuvo muchas provisiones en las ciudades de Judá, y hombres de guerra muy valientes en Jerusalén.
and, much business, had he, throughout the cities of Judah, —but, the men of war, the heroes of valour, were in Jerusalem.
14 Éste era el número de ellos, según sus casas paternas: de los comandantes de millares de Judá, el jefe era Adnas, con 300.000 guerreros valientes;
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 le seguía el jefe Johanán, con 280.000;
and, under his direction, was Jehohanan the chief, —and, with him, two hundred and eighty thousand;
16 luego Amasías, hijo de Zicri, quien se ofreció voluntariamente a Yavé, con 200.000 hombres valientes;
and, under his direction, Amasiah son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto Yahweh, —and, with him, two hundred thousand heroes of valour.
17 de Benjamín, Eliada, hombre muy valiente, y con él 200.000 que llevaban arco y escudo;
And, out of Benjamin, a hero of valour, Eliada, —and, with him, armed with bow and buckler, two hundred thousand;
18 y a continuación, Jozabad, con 180.000 hombres equipados para la guerra.
and, under his direction, Jehozabad, —and, with him, a hundred and eighty thousand, equipped for war.
19 Éstos eran los que servían al rey, aparte de los que el rey destacó en las ciudades fortificadas por todo Judá.
These, were they who were waiting upon the king, —besides those whom the king placed in the fortified cities, throughout all Judah.
