2 Chronicles 17
1 Jehoṣafati ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀ ó sì mú ara rẹ̀ lágbára sí lórí Israẹli.
And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened 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 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 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 the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not to Baalim;
4 Ṣùgbọ́n ó wá Ọlọ́run baba rẹ̀ kiri ó sì tẹ̀lé àṣẹ rẹ̀ ju iṣẹ́ Israẹli.
But sought to the LORD God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings 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.
Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat tribute; and he had riches and honour 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 was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves 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.
Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Benhail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the 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 he sent Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, 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 taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.
10 Ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa bà lórí gbogbo ìjọba ilẹ̀ tí ó yí Juda ká, dé bi pé wọn kò bá Jehoṣafati jagun.
And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against 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.
Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, 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 became exceedingly great; and he built in Judah fortresses, and cities of store.
13 Ó sì ní ìṣúra ní ìlú Juda. Ó sì tún ní àwọn alágbára jagunjagun akọni ọkùnrin ní Jerusalẹmu.
And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, were 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 the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers: Of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the chief, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand.
15 Èkejì, Jehohanani olórí, pẹ̀lú ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́rìnlá ọkùnrin;
And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, 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 next to him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour.
17 Láti ọ̀dọ̀ Benjamini: Eliada, alágbára akọni ọkùnrin pẹ̀lú ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́wàá àwọn jagunjagun ọkùnrin pẹ̀lú ọrun àti àpáta ìhámọ́ra;
And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
18 àtẹ̀lé Jehosabadi, pẹ̀lú ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́sàn-án jagunjagun ọkùnrin múra sílẹ̀ fún ogun.
And next to him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and eighty thousand ready prepared for the war.
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 waited on the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
