1وملك يهوشافاط ابنه عوضا عنه وتشدد على اسرائيل.
1And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
2وجعل جيشا في جميع مدن يهوذا الحصينة وجعل وكلاء في ارض يهوذا وفي مدن افرايم التي اخذها آسا ابوه.
2And 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.
3وكان الرب مع يهوشافاط لانه سار في طرق داود ابيه الاولى ولم يطلب البعليم
3And Jehovah was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto the Baalim,
4ولكنه طلب اله ابيه وسار في وصاياه لا حسب اعمال اسرائيل.
4but sought to the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
5فثبّت الرب المملكة في يده وقدم كل يهوذا هدايا ليهوشافاط وكان له غنى وكرامة بكثرة.
5Therefore Jehovah established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat tribute; and he had riches and honor in abundance.
6وتقوى قلبه في طرق الرب ونزع ايضا المرتفعات والسواري من يهوذا
6And his heart was lifted up in the ways of Jehovah: and furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.
7وفي السنة الثالثة لملكه ارسل الى رؤسائه الى بنحائل وعوبديا وزكريا ونثنيئل وميخايا ان يعلّموا في مدن يهوذا
7Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben-hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;
8ومعهم اللاويون شمعيا ونثنيا وزبديا وعسائيل وشميراموث ويهوناثان وادونيا وطوبيا وطوب ادونيا اللاويون ومعهم اليشمع ويهورام الكاهنان.
8and with them the Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
9فعلّموا في يهوذا ومعهم سفر شريعة الرب وجالوا في جميع مدن يهوذا وعلّموا الشعب.
9And they taught in Judah, having the book of the law of Jehovah with them; and they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people.
10وكانت هيبة الرب على جميع ممالك الاراضي التي حول يهوذا فلم يحاربوا يهوشافاط.
10And the fear of Jehovah fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
11وبعض الفلسطينيين اتوا يهوشافاط بهدايا وحمل فضة والعربان ايضا أتوه بغنم من الكباش سبعة آلاف وسبع مئة ومن التيوس سبعة آلاف وسبع مئة
11And some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver for tribute; the Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he-goats.
12وكان يهوشافاط يتعظم جدا وبنى في يهوذا حصونا ومدن مخازن.
12And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles and cities of store.
13وكان له شغل كثير في مدن يهوذا ورجال حرب جبابرة بأس في اورشليم.
13And he had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem.
14وهذا عددهم حسب بيوت آبائهم من يهوذا رؤساء الوف. عدنة الرئيس ومعه جبابرة بأس ثلاث مئة الف.
14And this was the numbering of them according to their fathers' houses: Of Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him mighty men of valor three hundred thousand;
15وبجانبه يهوناثان الرئيس ومعه مئتان وثمانون الفا.
15and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand;
16وبجانبه عمسيا بن زكري المنتدب للرب ومعه مئتا الف جبار باس.
16and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto Jehovah; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
17ومن بنيامين الياداع جبار بأس ومعه من المتسلحين بالقسي والاتراس مئتا الف.
17And of Benjamin: Eliada a mighty man of valor, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
18وبجانبه يهوزاباد ومعه مئة وثمانون الفا متجردون للحرب.
18and next to him Jehozabad and with him a hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for war.
19هؤلاء خدام الملك فضلا عن الذين جعلهم الملك في المدن الحصينة في كل يهوذا
19These were they that waited on the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
