1 Nandimbe aze nifehe t’Iehosafate anadahi’ey, le nihafatratse am’ Israele.
And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
2 Nampipoha’e lahindefoñe iaby o rova-fatrats’ Iehodao naho nampijadoña’e firimboñañe an-tane Iehoda ao vaho amo rova’ i Efraime rinambe’ i Asa rae’eo.
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.
3 Nindre am’ Iehosafate t’Iehovà, amy te nañaveloe’e o sata’ i Davide rae’e valoha’eo, le tsy pinai’e o Baaleo;
And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not to Baalim;
4 nitsoeha’e t’i Andrianañaharen-drae’e, nañaveloe’e o lili’eo vaho tsy nanoe’e o sata’ Israeleo.
But sought to the LORD God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
5 Aa le najado’ Iehovà am-pità’e i fifeheañey; le ninday ravoravo am’ Iehosafate t’Iehoda iaby ie nanam-bara naho engeñe ra’elahy.
Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat tribute; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
6 Le naonjoñe amo sata’ Iehovào ty arofo’e; mbore nafaha’e boake Iehoda ao o tambohoo naho o Aserào.
And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.
7 Ie tan-taom-paha-telo’ i fifehea’ey, le nirahe’e o roandria’eo, i Benekaile naho i Obadia naho i Zekarià naho i Netanele vaho i Mikaià hañoke amo rova Iehodao.
Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Benhail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.
8 Nindre am’ iereo o nte-Levio; i Semaià naho i Netanià naho i Zebadià naho i Asahele naho i Semiramote naho Iehonatane naho i Adoniià naho i Tobiià vaho i Tobadonià, nte-Levy; nitraok’ am’ iereo t’i Elisamà naho Iehorame mpisoroñe,
And with them he sent Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests.
9 nañanatse e Iehodà ao, le am’ iereo ty boke’ i Hà’ Iehovà; nitsitsihe’ iereo o rova’ Iehodà iabio, nañoke ondatio.
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.
10 Nivotrak’ amo fonga fifeheañe naho tane mañohoke am’ Iehodao ty firevendreveñañe Iehovà vaho tsy eo ty nialy am’ Iehosafate.
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.
11 Nandesa’ ty ila’ o nte-Pelistio ravoravo naho haba am-bolafoty; ninday hare o nte-Arabeo: añondrilahy fito-arivo-tsi-fitonjato naho oselahy fito-arivo-tsi-fitonjato.
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 male goats.
12 Nitoabotse avao ty enge’ Iehosafate; le namboare’e e Iehoda ao ty rova fatratse naho rovam-pañajàñe.
And Jehoshaphat became exceedingly great; and he built in Judah fortresses, and cities of store.

And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem.
