1Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel.
1Nak quicam laj Asa, aß chic laj Josafat li ralal qui-oc chokß xreyeb laj Judá chokß rêkaj. Laj Josafat quixcauresiheb lix soldado re teßxcol ribeb chiruheb li ralal xcßajol laj Israel.
2He 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.
2Quixqßueheb lix soldados saß eb li tenamit li cuanqueb cuiß li cab li nequeßxcol cuiß ribeb ut quixqßueheb ajcuiß li soldado saß chixjunileb li tenamit aran Judá ut saß eb li tenamit li cuanqueb cuiß li ralal xcßajol laj Efraín li quirêchani laj Asa lix yucuaß.
3Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and didn’t seek the Baals,
3Li Kâcuaß cuan riqßuin laj Josafat xban nak saß xticlajic lix cuanquil quixbânu li us joß quixbânu laj David lix xeßtônil yucuaß. Incßaß quixlokßoni li yîbanbil dios Baal.
4but sought to the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
4Quicßanjelac ban chiru li Kâcuaß Dios li quixlokßoni lix yucuaß. Quixbânu li cßaßru naraj li Dios ut incßaß quixbânu joß queßxbânu eb laj Israel.
5Therefore Yahweh established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat tribute; and he had riches and honor in abundance.
5Joßcan nak li Dios quixxakab saß xnaßaj lix cuanquil laj Josafat ut chixjunileb laj Judá queßxqßue xmâtan. Nabal lix biomal quicuan ut quiqßueheß xlokßal.
6His heart was lifted up in the ways of Yahweh: and furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.
6Kßaxal cuißchic quixqßue xchßôl laj Josafat chixbânunquil li cßaßru naraj li Dios. Quilajxpoßi chixjunileb li naßajej li najt xteram li queßxlokßoni cuiß li yîbanbil dios xAsera ut quixpoßi lix jalam ûch lix Asera li cuanqueb aran Judá.
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;
7Yô rox chihab roquic chokß rey laj Josafat nak quixtaklaheb li nequeßcßanjelac chiru chixchßolobanquil xyâlal saß eb li tenamit li cuanqueb Judá. Aßaneb aßin li cuînk li queßtaklâc: laj Ben-hail, laj Abdías, laj Zacarías, laj Natanael, ut laj Micaías.
8and with them the Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
8Eb laj levita li queßtaklâc rochbeneb, aßaneb aßin: laj Semaías, laj Netanías, laj Zebadías, laj Asael, laj Semiramot, laj Jonatán, laj Adonías, laj Tobías ut laj Tobadonías. Ut eb laj tij li queßcôeb chirixeb, aßaneb laj Elisama ut laj Joram.
9They taught in Judah, having the book of the law of Yahweh with them; and they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people.
9Queßxcßam li hu li tzßîbanbil cuiß lix chakßrab li Dios. Ut queßxbeni saß chixjunileb li tenamit li cuanqueb Judá. Queßxchßolob xyâlal li naxye li chakßrab.
10The fear of Yahweh fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
10Li Kâcuaß quixqßueheb xxiu chixjunileb li tenamit li cuanqueb chi xjun sutam li naßajej Judá. Joßcan nak incßaß chic queßpletic riqßuin li rey Josafat.
11Some 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 male goats.
11Cuanqueb laj filisteo queßxqßue xmâtan laj Josafat ut queßxqßue ajcuiß li plata chokß xtojeb. Joßcaneb ajcuiß laj árabes. Queßxsi xquetômk laj Josafat. Queßxqßue cuukub mil riqßuin cuukub ciento li têlom carner ut queßxqßue ajcuiß cuukub mil riqßuin cuukub ciento li têlom chibât.
12Jehoshaphat grew great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles and cities of store.
12Cßajoß nak quiniman xcuanquil laj Josafat. Quixyîbeb li cab li nequeßxcol cuiß ribeb aran Judá ut quixyîbeb ajcuiß li tenamit re teßxxoc cuiß li cßaßru reheb.
13He had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem.
13Quicuan nabal cßaßru re saß eb li tenamit li cuanqueb Judá. Ut aran Jerusalén queßcuan nabaleb lix soldados cauheb rib chi pletic.
14This 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;
14Aßan aßin xqßuialeb li junjûnk chßûtal saß xyânkeb li ralal xcßajol laj Judá. Li nataklan saß xbêneb li oxib ciento mil chi soldado, aßan laj Adnas. Chixjunileb li soldados aßin tzolbileb chi us chi pletic.
15and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred eighty thousand;
15Laj Johanán nataklan saß xbêneb cuib ciento riqßuin câcßâl mil chi soldados.
16and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to Yahweh; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
16Ut laj Amasías li ralal laj Zicri nataklan saß xbêneb cuib ciento mil chi soldado. Laj Amasías, aßan li qui-ala saß xchßôl xkßaxtesinquil rib chi cßanjelac chiru li Kâcuaß.
17Of Benjamin: Eliada a mighty man of valor, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
17Ut saß xyânkeb li ralal xcßajol laj Benjamín, laj Eliada li cau xchßôl chi pletic, nataklan saß xbêneb cuib ciento mil chi soldado li cuanqueb xchßîchß re xcolbal re xchßôl ut cuanqueb ajcuiß xtzimaj.
18and next to him Jehozabad and with him one hundred eighty thousand ready prepared for war.
18Ut laj Jozabad nataklan saß xbêneb jun ciento riqßuin câcßâl mil chi soldado ac cauresinbileb chi pletic.Aßaneb aßin li cuînk li queßcßanjelac chiru li rey. Mâcßaßeb saß ajl eb li soldados li quixqßueheb saß eb li tenamit li sutsûqueb saß tzßac aran Judá.
19These were those who waited on the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
19Aßaneb aßin li cuînk li queßcßanjelac chiru li rey. Mâcßaßeb saß ajl eb li soldados li quixqßueheb saß eb li tenamit li sutsûqueb saß tzßac aran Judá.
