2 Kroniška 17
1 Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Józafat in se okrepil zoper Izraela.
And Jehoshaphat his son reigneth in his stead, and he strengtheneth himself against Israel,
2 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.
and putteth a force in all the fenced cities of Judah, and putteth garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim that Asa his father had captured.
3 Gospod je bil z Józafatom, ker je hodil po prvih poteh svojega očeta Davida in ni iskal Báalov,
And Jehovah is with Jehoshaphat, for he hath walked in the first ways of David his father, and hath not sought to Baalim,
4 temveč je sledil Gospodu, Bogu svojega očeta in hodil po njegovih zapovedih in ne po Izraelovih ravnanjih.
for to the God of his father he hath sought, and in His commands he hath walked, and not according to the work of Israel.
5 Zato je Gospod utrdil kraljestvo v njegovi roki. Ves Juda je Józafatu prinesel darila in imel je bogastva, čast in obilje.
And Jehovah doth establish the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah give a present to Jehoshaphat, and he hath riches and honour in abundance,
6 Njegovo srce je bilo vzdignjeno na Gospodovih poteh. Poleg tega je iz Juda odstranil visoke kraje in ašere.
and his heart is high in the ways of Jehovah, and again he hath turned aside the high places and the shrines out of Judah.
7 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.
And in the third year of his reign he hath 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 Z njimi je poslal Lévijevce, torej Šemajája, Netanjája, Zebadjája, Asaéla, Šemiramóta, Jehonatana, Adoníja, Tobija, Tob Adoníja, Lévijevce in z njimi duhovnika Elišamája in Jehoráma.
and with them the Levites, Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijath, and Tob-Adonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
9 Učili so v Judu in s seboj so imeli knjigo Gospodove postave in šli so naokoli po vseh Judovih mestih in učili ljudstvo.
And they teach in Judah, and with them [is] the Book of the Law of Jehovah, and they go round about into all cities of Judah, and teach among the people.
10 Gospodov strah je padel na vsa kraljestva dežel, ki so bile naokoli Juda, tako da zoper Józafata niso bojevali nobene vojne.
And here is a fear of Jehovah on all kingdoms of the lands that [are] round about Judah, and they have not fought with Jehoshaphat;
11 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.
and of the Philistines they are bringing in to Jehoshaphat a present, and tribute silver; also, the Arabians are bringing to him a flock, rams seven thousand an seven hundred, and he-goats seven thousand and seven hundred.
12 Józafat je postal silno velik in v Judu je zgradil gradove in skladiščna mesta.
And Jehoshaphat is going on and becoming very great, and he buildeth in Judah palaces and cities of store,
13 Po Judovih mestih je imel mnogo posla. In v Jeruzalemu so bili bojevniki, močni junaški možje.
and he hath much work in cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty of valour, [are] in Jerusalem.
14 To so njihova števila glede na hišo njihovih očetov. Iz Juda poveljniki nad tisočimi: vodja Adnáh in z njim tristo tisoč močnih junaških mož.
And these [are] their numbers, for the house of their fathers: Of Judah, heads of thousands, Adnah the head, and with him mighty ones of valour, three hundred chiefs.
15 Poleg njega je bil poveljnik Johanán in z njim dvesto osemdeset tisoč.
And at his hand [is] Jehohanan the head, and with him two hundred and eighty chiefs.

19 Ti so čakali na kralja, poleg tistih, ki jih je kralj namestil v utrjenih mestih po vsem Judu.
These [are] those serving the king, apart from those whom the king put in the cities of fortress, in all Judah.
