2 Chronicles 17
1 Jehoṣafati ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀ ó sì mú ara rẹ̀ lágbára sí lórí Israẹli.
And his son Jehoshaphat reigns in his stead, and he strengthens himself against Israel,
2 Ó sì fi ogun sínú gbogbo ìlú olódi Juda ó sì kó ẹgbẹ́ ológun ní Juda àti nínú ìlú Efraimu tí Asa baba rẹ̀ ti gbà.
and puts a force in all the fortified cities of Judah, and puts garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.
3 Olúwa sì wà pẹ̀lú Jehoṣafati nítorí, ní ọdún àkọ́kọ́ rẹ̀, ó rìn ní ọ̀nà ti baba rẹ̀ Dafidi ti rìn, kò sì fi ọ̀ràn lọ Baali.
And YHWH is with Jehoshaphat, for he has walked in the first ways of his father David, and has not sought for the Ba‘alim,
4 Ṣùgbọ́n ó wá Ọlọ́run baba rẹ̀ kiri ó sì tẹ̀lé àṣẹ rẹ̀ ju iṣẹ́ Israẹli.
for he has sought for the God of his father, and he has walked in His commands, and not according to the work of Israel.
5 Olúwa sì fi ìjọba rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ lábẹ́ àkóso rẹ̀, gbogbo Juda sì mú ẹ̀bùn wá fún Jehoṣafati, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì ní ọrọ̀ àti ọlá lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀.
And YHWH establishes the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah gives a present to Jehoshaphat, and he has riches and honor in abundance,
6 Ọkàn rẹ̀ sì gbé sókè si ọ̀nà Olúwa, pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú, ó sì mú ibi gíga wọn àti ère òrìṣà Aṣerah kúrò ní Juda.
and his heart is high in the ways of YHWH, and again he has turned aside the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.
7 Ní ọdún kẹta ìjọba rẹ̀, ó rán àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ Bene-Haili, Obadiah, Sekariah, Netaneli, Mikaiah láti máa kọ́ ni nínú ìlú Juda.
And in the third year of his reign he has sent for his heads, for Ben-Hail, and for Obadiah, and for Zechariah, and for Nethaneel, and for Michaiah, to teach in cities of Judah;
8 Wọ́n sì ní díẹ̀ lára àwọn ọmọ Lefi, àní Ṣemaiah, Netaniah, Sebadiah, Asaheli, Ṣemiramotu, Jehonatani, Adonijah, Tobijah àti Tobu-Adonijah àti àwọn àlùfáà Eliṣama àti Jehoramu.
and with them the Levites: Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijath, and Tob-Adonijah—the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
9 Wọ́n ń kọ́ ni ní agbègbè Juda, wọ́n mú ìwé òfin Olúwa wọ́n sì rìn yíká gbogbo àwọn ìlú Juda wọ́n sì ń kọ́ àwọn ènìyàn.
And they teach in Judah, and the Scroll of the Law of YHWH [is] with them, and they go around into all cities of Judah, and teach among the people.
10 Ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa bà lórí gbogbo ìjọba ilẹ̀ tí ó yí Juda ká, dé bi pé wọn kò bá Jehoṣafati jagun.
And there is a fear of YHWH on all kingdoms of the lands that [are] around Judah, and they have not fought with Jehoshaphat;
11 Lára àwọn ará Filistini, mú ẹ̀bùn fàdákà gẹ́gẹ́ bí owó ọba wá fún Jehoṣafati, àwọn ará Arabia sì mú ọ̀wọ́ ẹran wá fún un, ẹgbàarindín ní ọ̀ọ́dúnrún àgbò àti ẹgbàarindín ní ọ̀ọ́dúnrún òbúkọ.
and [some] from the Philistines are bringing a present to Jehoshaphat, and silver [as] tribute; also, the Arabians are bringing to him a flock of seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred male goats.
12 Jehoṣafati sì ń di alágbára nínú agbára sí i, ó sì kọ́ ilé olódi àti ilé ìṣúra púpọ̀ ní Juda
And Jehoshaphat is going on and becoming very great, and he builds palaces and cities of store in Judah,
13 Ó sì ní ìṣúra ní ìlú Juda. Ó sì tún ní àwọn alágbára jagunjagun akọni ọkùnrin ní Jerusalẹmu.
and he has much work in cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, [are] in Jerusalem.
14 Iye wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ilé baba wọn nìwọ̀nyí. Láti Juda, àwọn olórí ìpín kan ti ẹgbẹ̀rún: Adina olórí, pẹ̀lú ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún alágbára akọni ọkùnrin.
And these [are] their numbers, for the house of their fathers—of Judah, heads of thousands: Adnah the head, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor;
15 Èkejì, Jehohanani olórí, pẹ̀lú ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́rìnlá ọkùnrin;
and at his hand [is] Jehohanan the head, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;
16 àtẹ̀lé Amasiah ọmọ Sikri, ẹni tí ó fi ara rẹ̀ fún iṣẹ́ Olúwa pẹ̀lú ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́wàá.
and at his hand [is] Amasiah son of Zichri, who is willingly offering himself to YHWH, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
17 Láti ọ̀dọ̀ Benjamini: Eliada, alágbára akọni ọkùnrin pẹ̀lú ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́wàá àwọn jagunjagun ọkùnrin pẹ̀lú ọrun àti àpáta ìhámọ́ra;
And of Benjamin, mighty men of valor: Eliada, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
18 àtẹ̀lé Jehosabadi, pẹ̀lú ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́sàn-án jagunjagun ọkùnrin múra sílẹ̀ fún ogun.
and at his hand [is] Jehozabad, and with him one hundred and eighty thousand armed ones of the host.
19 Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ọkùnrin tí ń dúró níwájú ọba, ní àyíká àwọn ẹni tí ó fi sínú ìlú olódi ní àyíká gbogbo Juda.
These [are] those serving the king, apart from those whom the king put in the fortress cities in all of Judah.
