2 Chronicles 17

1 Asa's son Jehoshaphat took over as king. He strengthened his country's defenses against Israel.

Jehoshaphat el aolulla Asa, papa tumal, in tokosra, ac el akkeyala tokosrai lun Judah in lain Israel.

2 He assigned troops to every fortified city of Judah and placed garrisons throughout Judah and in the towns of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.

El oakiya mwet mweun in siti kuhlusyukyak in acn Judah, oayapa musaela acn in muta lalos uten acn Judah ac in siti ma Asa el sruokya in acn Ephraim.

3 The Lord supported Jehoshaphat because he followed the ways of his father David. He did not believe in the Baals,

LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal Jehoshaphat mweyen el fahsr in falken papa tumal ke tafun moul lal meet, ac tia alu nu sin Baal.

4 but worshiped the God of his father and obeyed his commandments, unlike what the kingdom of Israel was doing.

El kulansupu God lun papa tumal, ac fahsr tukun ma sap lun God, ac tia oru oana ma tokosra lun mwet Israel oru.

5 So the Lord made Jehoshaphat's hold on the kingdom secure, and all the people of Judah paid their dues to him. As a result he became very wealthy and highly honored.

LEUM GOD El oakiya ku lulap nu facl Jehoshaphat in leumi tokosrai lun Judah, ac mwet nukewa use mwe lung nu sel. Ouinge el kasrupi, ac arulana akfulatyeyuk el.

6 He was sincerely committed to what the Lord wanted. He also he removed the high places and Asherah poles from Judah.

El insewowo in kulansupu LEUM GOD ac el kunausla nien alu nukewa lun mwet pegan in acn Judah, oayapa ma sruloala ke god mutan Asherah we.

7 In the third year of his reign, Jehoshaphat sent his officials Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah to teach in the towns of Judah.

In yac se aktolu ma el tokosra, el supwalik mwet fulat inge tuh elos in luti in siti lun Judah: Benhail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, ac Micaiah.

8 He sent along with the them Levites named Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, and with them the priests Elishama and Jehoram.

Mwet Levi eu ac mwet tol luo welulos. Pa inge inen mwet Levi: Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, ac Tobadonijah. Inen mwet tol luo pa: Elishama ac Jehoram.

9 Taking with them the Book of the Law of the Lord they taught as they went around Judah. They visited all the towns of Judah, teaching the people.

Elos us book in Ma Sap lun LEUM GOD ac fahsr nu inkul nukewa in acn Judah ac luti mwet uh ke ma sap.

10 All the surrounding kingdoms were in awe of the Lord, so that they did not attack Jehoshaphat.

LEUM GOD El oru tuh tokosrai nukewa ma raunela acn Judah in sangeng in som mweunel Tokosra Jehoshaphat.

11 Some of the Philistines even brought him gifts and silver, while the Arabians brought him 7,700 rams and 7,700 goats.

Kutu sin mwet Philistia elos use mwe lung na yohk ke silver ac mwe lung pac saya nu sel Jehoshaphat. Ac kutu mwet Arabia elos use sheep itkosr tausin itfoko ac nani itkosr tausin itfoko.

12 Jehoshaphat grew increasingly powerful, and he built fortresses and storehouse towns in Judah.

Ouinge yokelik na ku lal Jehoshaphat. El kuhlasak siti puspis in acn Judah nufon, oayapa musaiak siti

13 He maintained a great deal of supplies in the towns of Judah. He also had troops, experienced warriors, in Jerusalem.

in nwauk mwe mongo puspis we. El filiya mwet pisrla ke mweun in acn Jerusalem,

14 This is a count of them, according to their family lines: from Judah, the commanders of thousands: Adnah the commander, and 300,000 mighty warriors with him;

fal nu ke ota lalos. Adnah pa captain lun un mwet mweun ke ota nukewa in Judah, ac oasr mwet mweun tolfoko tausin ye kolyuk lal.

15 then Jehohanan the commander, and 280,000 with him;

Akluo in wal yal Adnah pa Jehohanan, ac oasr mwet mweun luofoko oalngoul tausin ye kolyuk lal.

16 then Amasiah, son of Zichri, who volunteered to serve the Lord, and 200,000 mighty warriors with him;

Aktolu in wal pa Amasiah wen natul Zichri, ac oasr mwet mweun luofoko tausin ye kolyuk lal. (Amaziah el tuh sifacna eisalang in kulansupu LEUM GOD.)

17 from Benjamin, Eliada, a mighty warrior, and 200,000 with him armed with bows and shields;

Captain lun un mwet mweun ke ota nukewa in Benjamin pa Eliada, sie mwet mweun pwengpeng. El leum fin mwet mweun luofoko tausin su us mwe loang ac mwe pisr.

18 then Jehozabad, and 180,000 with him ready for battle;

Mwet kol se akluo yal pa Jehozabad, ac oasr mwet mweun siofok oalngoul tausin lal, su akoeyukla fal nu ke mweun.

19 These were the men who served the king, in addition those he assigned to the fortified towns throughout Judah.

Mwet inge kulansap nu sin tokosra in acn Jerusalem, ac el oayapa filiya kutu pac mwet in siti kuhlusyukyak pac saya in acn Judah.
