¹And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.

¹ A izo Yehosafat mo te bonkooni a nango ra. A na nga boŋ gaabandi mo zama nga ma wongu nda Israyla.

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 that Asa his father had taken.

² A na sooje jamayaŋ daŋ Yahuda galley kulu kaŋ gonda wongu cinarey ra. A na batukoyaŋ mo daŋ Yahuda laabo kulu ra, da Ifraymu galley ra, ngey kaŋ yaŋ a baabo Asa ŋwa din.

³And Jehovah was with Jehoshaphat, for he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto the Baals;

³ Rabbi go mo Yehosafat banda zama a na fonda gana kaŋ kaayo Dawda jin ka gana. A mana Baaley ceeci,

⁴but he sought the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.

⁴ amma a na nga baabo Irikoyo ceeci. A dira mo a lordey ra, kaŋ manti Israyla goyey boŋ mo.

⁵And Jehovah established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah gave gifts to Jehoshaphat; and he had riches and honour in abundance.

⁵ Woodin se no Rabbi n'a mayra tabbatandi a se a kamba ra. Yahuda kulu mo kande Yehosafat se fooyaŋ hari. A du arzaka da beeray boobo.

⁶And he took courage in the ways of Jehovah; moreover, he removed the high places and Asherahs out of Judah.

⁶ Rabbi fonda ganayaŋ gonda beeray a do, hala mo a na tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ harey, da wayboro himandi bundu toorey kaa Yahuda ra.

⁷And in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, Ben-hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethaneel, and Micah, to teach in the cities of Judah;

⁷ A mayra jiiri hinzanta ra mo a na nga mayraykoy fooyaŋ donton, ngey neeya: Ben-Hayel, da Obadiya, da Zakariya, da Netanel, da Mikaya, zama i ma dondonandiyaŋ te Yahuda galley ra.

⁸and with them the Levites: Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-Adonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.

⁸ I banda mo Lawi boro fooyaŋ go no, ngey neeya: Semaya, da Netaniya, da Zebadiya, da Asahel, da Semiramot, da Yonatan, da Adoniya, da Tobiya, da Tobadoniya, Lawi boroyaŋ no. I banda mo Elisama da Yehoram go no kaŋ ga ti alfagey.

⁹And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of Jehovah with them; and they went about through all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people.

⁹ I binde na borey dondonandi Yahuda ra. I gonda Rabbi asariya tira i banda. I bar-bare Yahuda galley kulu ra ka borey dondonandi.

¹⁰And the terror of Jehovah was upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, and they made no war against Jehoshaphat.

¹⁰ Rabbi humburkumay mo kaŋ mayrayey kulu kaŋ goono ga Yahuda windi din boŋ, hala i mana wongu fo te da Yehosafat koyne.

¹¹And some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat gifts and tribute-silver. The Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand seven hundred rams, and seven thousand seven hundred he-goats.

¹¹ Filistance fooyaŋ mo kande Yehosafat se tarbace da nzarfu fooyaŋ hari. Laarabey mo kande a se alman kuruyaŋ, feeji gaaru zambar iyye da zangu iyye, da hincin jindi mo zambar iyye da zangu iyye.

¹²And Jehoshaphat waxed exceeding great; and he built in Judah castles and store-cities.

¹² Yehosafat beeri gumo da cimi. A na wongu fuyaŋ da jinay jisiyaŋ kwaara yaŋ cina Yahuda ra.

¹³And he had much business in the cities of Judah; and men of war, strong and valiant, in Jerusalem.

¹³ A gonda goy-goy boobo Yahuda galley ra. Soojeyaŋ kaŋ ga yaaru go no mo Urusalima ra.

¹⁴And these are the numbers of them according to their fathers' houses. Of Judah the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valour;

¹⁴ Woone no ga ti i lasaabuyaŋo i kaayey windey boŋ: Yahuda do haray waney zambarey jine borey, i jine bora Adna; a gonda yaarukom zambar zangu hinza nga banda.

¹⁵and next to him was Johanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;

¹⁵ Bora kaŋ ga dake a gaa mo, jine boro Yehohanan; nga mo gonda yaarukom zambar zangu hinka da wahakku nga banda.

¹⁶and next to him, Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to Jehovah; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour.

¹⁶ Bora kaŋ ga dake a gaa mo, Amasiya Zikri izo, kaŋ na nga boŋ nooyandi Rabbi se da bine yadda; nga mo gonda yaarukom zambar zangu hinka nga banda.

¹⁷And of Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valour, and with him two hundred thousand, armed with bow and shield;

¹⁷ Benyamin do haray waney mo: yaarukomo Eliyada; nga mo gonda boro zambar zangu hinka biraw da koraykoy yaŋ nga banda.

¹⁸and next to him was Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand ready prepared for war.

¹⁸ Bora kaŋ ga dake a gaa mo Yehozabad; nga mo gonda boro zambar zangu nda wahakku kaŋ go soolante yaŋ wongu se nga banda.

¹⁹These were they that waited on the king, besides those that the king had put in the fortified cities throughout Judah.

¹⁹ Woodin yaŋ wo no ga bonkoono batu, kaŋ ga waana borey kaŋ yaŋ bonkoono daŋ Yahuda galley kulu kaŋ yaŋ gonda wongu cinarey ra.
