2 Књига дневника 17
1 Тада се зацари Јосафат, син његов, на његово место, и укрепи се на Израиља.
And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
2 И понамешта војску по свим тврдим градовима Јудиним, и понамешта страже по земљи Јудиној и по градовима Јефремовим, које задоби Аса, отац његов.
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 И беше Господ с Јосафатом, јер хођаше првим путевима Давида оца свог и не тражаше Вала.
And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not to Baalim;
4 Него Бога оца свог тражаше и по заповестима Његовим хођаше, и не чињаше као синови Израиљеви.
But sought to the LORD God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
5 Зато утврди Господ царство у руци његовој, и сав народ Јудин даваше даре Јосафату, те имаше велико благо и славу.
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 И срце се његово ослободи на путевима Господњим, те још обори висине и лугове у Јудеји.
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 И треће године свог царовања посла кнезове своје Вен-Аила и Овадију и Захарију и Натанаила и Михеју да уче по градовима Јудиним;
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 И с њима Левите: Семају и Натанију и Зевадију и Асаила и Семирамота и Јонатана и Адонију и Товију и Тов-Адонију, Левите, и с њима Елисаму и Јорама свештенике.
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 И учаху по Јудеји имајући при себи књигу закона Господњег, и прохођаху све градове Јудине учећи народ.
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 И дође страх Господњи на сва царства по земљама око Јуде, те не војеваше на Јосафата.
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 И сами Филистеји доношаху Јосафату даре и данак у новцу; и Арапи догоњаху му стоку, по седам хиљада и седам стотина овнова и по седам хиљада и седам стотина јараца.
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 Тако напредоваше Јосафат и подиже се веома; и сазида у Јудеји куле и градове за житнице.
And Jehoshaphat became exceedingly great; and he built in Judah fortresses, and cities of store.
13 И имаше много добра по градовима Јудиним, и војника, храбрих јунака у Јерусалиму.
And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem.
14 А ово је број њихов по домовима отаца њихових; од Јуде хиљадници: Адна војвода, с којим беше три стотине хиљада храбрих јунака.
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 valour three hundred thousand.
15 А за њим Јоанам војвода, с којим беше двеста осамдесет хиљада;
And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand.
16 А за њим Амасија син Зихријев, који се драговољно даде Господу, и с ким беше двеста хиљада храбрих јунака.
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 valour.
17 А од Венијамина: храбри јунак Елијада, с којим беше двеста хиљада наоружаних луком и штитом;
And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
18 А за њим Јозавад, с којим беше сто и осамдесет хиљада наоружаних за бој.
And next to him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and eighty thousand ready prepared for the war.
19 Ови служаху цару осим оних које понамешта цар по тврдим градовима у свој земљи Јудиној.
These waited on the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
