2 Chronicles 17

1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.

Pea naʻe pule ʻa Sihosafate ko hono foha ko hono fetongi, pea naʻa ne fakamālohi ʻe ia ia ki ʻIsileli.

2 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.

Pea naʻa ne vahe ʻae kautau [ke nofo ]ki he ngaahi kolotau kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, ʻo ne vahe ʻae ngaahi kongakau leʻo ʻi he fonua ʻo Siuta, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻaia naʻe lavaʻi ʻe ʻAsa ko ʻene tamai.

3 And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not to Baalim;

Pea naʻe ʻia Sihosafate ʻa Sihova, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi ʻuluaki anga ʻo ʻene tamai ko Tevita, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne kumi kia Peali;

4 But sought to the [LORD] God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.

Ka naʻe kumi ʻe ia kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻene tamai, pea ne ʻalu ʻi heʻene ngaahi fekau, pea naʻe ʻikai fakatatau ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻIsileli.

5 Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand: and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honor in abundance.

Ko ia naʻe fakatuʻumaʻu ʻe Sihova ʻae puleʻanga ʻi hono nima: pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Siuta kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa kia Sihosafate: pea maʻu ʻe ia ʻae koloa mo e nāunau ke lahi ʻaupito.

6 And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.

Pea naʻe hiki hake hono loto ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Sihova: pea naʻa ne liʻaki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga mo e ngaahi vao tapu mei Siuta.

7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, [even] to Ben-hail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.

Pea ʻi hono tolu taʻu ʻo ʻene pule foki, naʻa ne fekau ki hono houʻeiki, ʻio, kia Peniheili, pea kia ʻOpataia, pea kia Sakalia, pea kia Netanili, pea mo Mikaia, ke ako ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta.

8 And with them [he sent] Levites, [even] 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.

Pea naʻa ne fekau mo kinautolu ʻae kau Livai, ʻio, ʻa Simaia, mo Netania, mo Sepatia, mo ʻAsaeli, mo Similamoti, mo Sihonatani, mo ʻAtonisa, mo Topisa, mo Tope ʻAtonisa, ko e kau Livai: pea ʻalu mo kinautolu ʻa ʻIlisama mo Siholami, ko e ongo taulaʻeiki.

9 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.

Pea naʻa nau fai ʻae ako ʻi Siuta, ʻonau maʻu ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tohi ʻoe fono ʻa Sihova: pea naʻa nau ʻalu fano ʻi he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, ʻonau ako ki he kakai.

10 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.

Pea naʻe tō ʻae manavahē kia Sihova ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi fonua naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻi Siuta: ko ia naʻe ʻikai langaʻi ai ha tau kia Sihosafate.

11 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 he-goats.

Pea ko e kau Filisitia niʻihi naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa kia Sihosafate, mo e siliva tukuhau: pea naʻe ʻomi kiate ia ʻe he kakai ʻAlepea ʻae fanga manu, ko e sipitangata ʻe fitu afe, mo e fitungeau, mo e kosi tangata ʻe fitu afe mo e fitungeau.

12 And Jehoshaphat became exceedingly great; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store.

Pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau ki muʻa ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻa Sihosafate: pea naʻe langa ʻe ia ʻi Siuta ʻae ngaahi fale māʻolunga, mo e ngaahi kolo tukunga meʻa.

13 And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valor, [were] in Jerusalem.

Pea naʻe lahi ʻene ngāue ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta: pea naʻe [nofo ]ʻi Selūsalema ʻae kau tangata tau, ʻae kau toʻa mālohi.

14 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 valor three hundred thousand.

Pea ko hono lau eni ʻokinautolu ʻo fakatatau ki he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai: Ko e kau ʻeiki pule ʻoe ngaahi toko afe ʻo Siuta: ko ʻAtina, ko e tuʻukimuʻa, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kau tangata toʻa mālohi ko e toko tolu kilu.

15 And next to him [was] Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand.

Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻa Sihohanani ko e ʻeikitau, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae toko ua kilu, mo e toko valu mano.

16 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 valor.

Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻa ʻAmasia ko e foha ʻo Sikili, ʻaia naʻa ne tuku fiemālie pe ia maʻa Sihova: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kau tangata toʻa mālohi ko e toko ua kilu.

17 And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valor, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.

Pea ʻia Penisimani: ko Iliata ko e tangata toʻa mālohi, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kau tangata naʻe mahafutau ʻaki ʻae kau fana mo e pā, ko e toko ua kilu.

18 And next to him [was] Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand ready prepared for the war.

Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻa Sihosapati, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae tokotaha kilu mo e toko valu mano naʻe tali teu pe ki he tau.

19 These waited on the king, besides [those] whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.

naʻe tali fekau ʻakinautolu ni ki he tuʻi, kaeʻumaʻā ʻakinautolu naʻe tuku ʻe he tuʻi ki he ngaahi kolo tau ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻo Siuta.
