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

¹Huan, a tapa Jehosaphat a sikin a lala, Israel mite dou dingin a kihihhata,

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.

²Huan, Juda gama kulh nei khua tengteng ah sepaih a koih a; Juda gam lah apa Asain a nalak Ephraim gama khuate ah galvilmi a koiha.

³Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and didn’t seek the Baals,

³Huan, Jehosaphat kiangah TOUPA a oma; baal te zong loua a pu Davidin a tot masaksa lampi tawna.

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

⁴Api leh pute uh pathian zonga, Israel mite hih bang hih loua a thupiakte a zuih jawk jiakin.

⁵Therefore Yahweh established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat tribute; and he had riches and honor in abundance.

⁵Huaijiakin TOUPAN a gam a khutah a hihkipa, huchiin Juda gam mi tengtengin Jehosaphet kipahman khawng a hongpia ua, a honghauin a hongthupi ngial hi.

⁶His heart was lifted up in the ways of Yahweh: and furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.

⁶Huan, a lungsim TOUPA lamah a awna; huan Juda gam akipana mun sangte leh Aserte a paimang vek lai hi.

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;

⁷Huan, kum thum a lal kumin a mi lian Benhail te, Obadia te, Zekaria te, Nathanel te, Mikaite, Juda gam khuatea mite sinsak dingin a sawl khe lai a;

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.

⁸Huan, Levi mi, Semai te, Nethani te, Zebadia te, Asahel te, Semiramoth te, Johonathan te, Adonija te, Tobija te, Tobadonija te a teltei ua, huan siampu Elisam leh Jehoram leng a tel uhi.

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.

⁹Huan, TOUPA danbu a tawi ua, Juda gam khua tengteng a tawn ua, mite a sinsak uh.

¹⁰The fear of Yahweh fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.

¹⁰Huan, Juda gam kim gam tengtenga miten TOUPA laudan a siam ua, kuamahin Jehosaphet a dou ngam kei uhi.

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.

¹¹Huan, Philistiami khenkhatin Jehosaphet kipahman a hongpia ua, siah dingin dangkasikte leng a pe lai uh; huan, Arabia miten leng gan hon, belamtal sangsagih leh za sagih leh keltal sang sagih leh za sagih a honkai uh.

¹²Jehoshaphat grew great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles and cities of store.

¹²Huchiin Jehosaphet bel a hongthupita mahmaha, Juda gamah kulhte leh thil koih khawmna khuate a bawla, Juda gam khuate ah nasep tampi a neihi.

¹³He had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem.

¹³Huan, Jerusalem ah sepaih mi hat hangsante a hau behlap laia.

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;

¹⁴Huan, a inkuan kuan ua a omdan uh hichibang a hi- Juda inkuana sang heutu te, heutu Adanin mi hat hangsan nuai thum a heua;

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

¹⁵A zom Jehohanin nuai nih leh sing giat a heua;

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.

¹⁶Huan, a zomnawn Sikri tapa Amasi bel kiphal taka TOUPA dinga kipiain, mi hat hangsan nuai nih a heua;

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

¹⁷Huan, Benjamin inkuante mihat hangsan Eliadin thal leh lum zang mi nuai nih a heua;

¹⁸and next to him Jehozabad and with him one hundred eighty thousand ready prepared for war.

¹⁸Azom Jehozabadin galkap dinga mansiangsa nuaikhat leh sing giat a heua.Hiai tengteng Juda gama kulh nei kumpipan a koihte simlouha kumpipa kianga om thekte ahi uhi.

¹⁹These were those who waited on the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.

¹⁹Hiai tengteng Juda gama kulh nei kumpipan a koihte simlouha kumpipa kianga om thekte ahi uhi.
