2 Chronicles 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Józafat in se okrepil zoper Izraela.
2 And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
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.
3 And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto the Baalim;
Gospod je bil z Józafatom, ker je hodil po prvih poteh svojega očeta Davida in ni iskal Báalov,
4 but sought to the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
temveč je sledil Gospodu, Bogu svojega očeta in hodil po njegovih zapovedih in ne po Izraelovih ravnanjih.
5 Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
Zato je Gospod utrdil kraljestvo v njegovi roki. Ves Juda je Józafatu prinesel darila in imel je bogastva, čast in obilje.
6 And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: and furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.
Njegovo srce je bilo vzdignjeno na Gospodovih poteh. Poleg tega je iz Juda odstranil visoke kraje in ašere.
7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben-hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;
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.
8 and with them the Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
Z njimi je poslal Lévijevce, torej Šemajája, Netanjája, Zebadjája, Asaéla, Šemiramóta, Jehonatana, Adoníja, Tobija, Tob Adoníja, Lévijevce in z njimi duhovnika Elišamája in Jehoráma.
9 And they taught in Judah, having the book of the law of the LORD with them; and they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people.
Učili so v Judu in s seboj so imeli knjigo Gospodove postave in šli so naokoli po vseh Judovih mestih in učili ljudstvo.
10 And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
Gospodov strah je padel na vsa kraljestva dežel, ki so bile naokoli Juda, tako da zoper Józafata niso bojevali nobene vojne.
11 And some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver for tribute; the Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he-goats.
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.
12 And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles and cities of store.
Józafat je postal silno velik in v Judu je zgradil gradove in skladiščna mesta.
13 And he had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valour, in Jerusalem.
Po Judovih mestih je imel mnogo posla. In v Jeruzalemu so bili bojevniki, močni junaški možje.
14 And this was the numbering of them according to their fathers’ houses: of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the captain, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand:
To so njihova števila glede na hišo njihovih očetov. Iz Juda poveljniki nad tisočimi: vodja Adnáh in z njim tristo tisoč močnih junaških mož.
15 and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand:
Poleg njega je bil poveljnik Johanán in z njim dvesto osemdeset tisoč.
16 and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour:
Poleg njega je bil Zihríjev sin Amasjá, ki se je voljno daroval Gospodu in z njim dvesto tisoč močnih junaških mož.
17 And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield:
Od Benjamina Eljadá, mogočen hraber mož in z njim dvesto tisoč z lokom in ščitom oboroženih mož.
18 and next to him Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for war.
Poleg njega je bil Jozabád in z njim sto osemdeset tisoč pripravljenih za vojno.
19 These were they that waited on the king, beside those whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.
Ti so čakali na kralja, poleg tistih, ki jih je kralj namestil v utrjenih mestih po vsem Judu.
