2 Chronicles 17
1 Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel.
Josaphat, fis li a te devni wa nan plas li, e li te fè pozisyon li sou Israël byen fèm.
2 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.
Li te mete sòlda nan tout vil fòtifye Juda yo, e li te fè ganizon militè nan peyi Juda avèk nan vil Éphraïm ke papa li, Asa te kaptire yo.
3 Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and didn’t seek the Baals,
SENYÈ a te avèk Josaphat akoz li te swiv egzanp a zansèt li a, David, nan premye jou li yo, e li pa t chache Baal yo,
4 but sought the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not in the ways of Israel.
men li te chache Bondye a zansèt li yo. Li te swiv kòmandman li yo, e li pa t aji jan Israël te fè a.
5 Therefore Yahweh established the kingdom in his hand. All Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance.
Pou sa, SENYÈ a te etabli wayòm nan sou kontwòl li, tout Juda te pote pèyman bay Josaphat e li te vin gen gwo richès avèk lonè.
6 His heart was lifted up in the ways of Yahweh. Furthermore, he took away the high places and the Asherah poles out of Judah.
Li te fyè nan chemen SENYÈ a, e ankò li te rache wo plas yo avèk Asherim yo soti nan Juda.
7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;
Konsa, nan twazyèm ane règn li a, li te voye reprezantan li yo, chèf Ben-Haïl yo, Abdias, Zacharie, Nethaneel, avèk Michée pou enstwi nan vil a Juda yo;
8 and with them Levites, even Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
epi avèk yo Levit yo, Schemaeja, Nethania, Zebadia, Adonija, Tobija ak Tob-Adonija; epi avèk yo, prèt yo, Élischama avèk Joram.
9 They taught in Judah, having the book of Yahweh’s law with them. They went about throughout all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.
Yo te enstwi Juda avèk liv lalwa SENYÈ a ke yo te genyen avèk yo. Konsa, yo te ale toupatou nan tout vil Juda yo pou te enstwi pami pèp la.
10 The fear of Yahweh fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
Alò, lakrent SENYÈ a te sou tout wayòm ki te antoure Juda yo, jiskaske yo pa t fè lagè kont Josaphat.
11 Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents and silver for tribute. The Arabians also brought him flocks: seven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred male goats.
Kèk nan Filisten yo te pote kado avèk lò kòm pèyman bay Josaphat. Arabyen yo tou te pote bann bèt ba li, sèt-mil-sèt-san belye ak sèt-mil-sèt-san mal kabrit.
12 Jehoshaphat grew great exceedingly; and he built fortresses and store cities in Judah.
Josaphat te vin grandi de plizanplis e li te bati fò avèk vil depo nan Juda.
13 He had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem.
Li te gen anpil depo nan vil a Juda yo ak gèrye yo, mesye ki plen kouraj Jérusalem yo.
14 This was the numbering of them according to their fathers’ houses: From Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor;
Men kontwòl selon lakay a papa zansèt yo: nan Juda, chèf a dè milye yo, Adna, chèf la avèk twa-san-mil mesye plen kouraj;
15 and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred eighty thousand;
epi akote li, Jochanan, chèf la, avèk de-san-katre-ven-mil mesye plen kouraj;
16 and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to Yahweh, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
epi akote li, Amasia, fis a Zicri a, ki te konsakre volontèman a SENYÈ a, avèk de-san-mil mesye plen kouraj.
17 From Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valor, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
Pou Benjamin: Éliada, yon nonm plen kouraj, avèk de-san-mil mesye lame avèk banza ak boukliye defans,
18 and next to him Jehozabad, and with him one hundred eighty thousand ready and prepared for war.
epi akote li, Zozobad, avèk san-katreven-mil mesye pou fè lagè.
19 These were those who waited on the king, in addition to those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
Se te sila ki te nan sèvis wa yo, yo pa menm konte sila ke wa a te pozisyone nan tout vil fòtifye pami tout Juda yo.
