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

¹Oo waxaa meeshiisii boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Yehooshaafaad, oo wuxuu u xoogaystay si uu dadka Israa'iil isaga daafaco.

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.

²Oo wuxuu ciidan fadhiisiyey magaalooyinkii deyrka lahaa oo dalka Yahuudah oo dhan, oo rugo askareedna ayuu dhex dhigay dalkii Yahuudah iyo weliba magaalooyinkii reer Efrayim oo aabbihiis Aasaa uu mar hore qabsaday.

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

³Oo Rabbiguna Yehooshaafaad wuu la jiray, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu ku socday jidkii hore oo awowgiis Daa'uud, oo Bacaliimna ma uu doonin,

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

⁴laakiinse wuxuu doonay Ilaahii awowgiis, oo wuxuu ku socday amarradiisii, mana uu yeelin falimihii dadka Israa'iil.

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

⁵Oo sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu boqortooyadii gacantiisuu ku xoogeeyey, oo dadkii Yahuudah oo dhammuna Yehooshaafaad ayay hadiyado u keeni jireen, oo isagu wuxuu lahaa maal iyo sharaf badan.

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

⁶Oo qalbigiisuna wuxuu u sara kacay inuu qaado jidadka Rabbiga, oo weliba wuxuu dalka Yahuudah ka baabbi'iyey meelihii sarsare iyo geedihii Asheeraah.

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;

⁷Oo haddana sannaddii saddexaad oo boqortooyadiisa ayuu diray amiirradiisii oo ahaa Benxayl, iyo Cobadyaah, iyo Sekaryaah, iyo Netaneel, iyo Miikaayaah inay magaalooyinka dalka Yahuudah dadka wax ku baraan,

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.

⁸oo wuxuu la diray kuwii reer Laawi oo ahaa Shemacyaah, iyo Netanyaah, iyo Sebadyaah, iyo Casaaheel, iyo Shemiiraamood, iyo Yehoonaataan, iyo Adoniiyaah, iyo Toobiyaah, iyo Toob Adooniyaah, oo waxaa kaloo iyaga la jiray wadaaddadii ahaa Eliishaamaac iyo Yehooraam.

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.

⁹Oo iyana dalka Yahuudah ayay dadka wax ku bareen iyagoo wata kitaabkii sharciga Rabbiga, oo waxay ku dhex wareegeen magaalooyinkii dalka Yahuudah oo dhan, oo dadkiina wax bay bareen.

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

¹⁰Oo boqortooyooyinkii dalalkii ku wareegsanaa dalka Yahuudah oo dhan waxaa ku dhacday Rabbiga cabsidiisii, oo sidaas daraaddeed iyagu Yehooshaafaad lama ayan diririn.

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.

¹¹Oo reer Falastiin qaarkood ayaa Yehooshaafaad u keenay gabbaro iyo lacag baad ah, oo weliba Carabtiina waxay u keeneen adhi badan oo ah toddoba kun iyo toddoba boqol oo wan iyo toddoba kun iyo toddoba boqol oo orgi.

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

¹²Oo Yehooshaafaadna aad iyo aad buu u sii weynaaday, oo wuxuu dalka Yahuudah ka dhex dhisay qalcado iyo magaalooyin wax lagu kaydiyo.

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

¹³Oo magaalooyinka dalka Yahuudah waxaa loogu dhex sameeyey shuqullo badan, oo Yeruusaalemna waxaa u joogay rag dagaalyahan ah oo xoog badan.

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;

¹⁴Oo tanuna waa tiradoodii iyo sidii ay reerahoodu kala ahaayeen, saraakiishii kun kun u talin jiray ee dadkii Yahuudah waxaa ka joogay Cadnaah oo sirkaal ahaa, oo waxaa isaga la jiray rag xoog badan oo ah saddex boqol oo kun,

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

¹⁵oo waxaa isaga ku xigay Yehooxaanaan oo sirkaal ahaa, oo waxaa isaga la jiray laba boqol iyo siddeetan kun oo nin,

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.

¹⁶oo isna waxaa ku xigay Camasyaah ina Sikrii oo Rabbiga ikhtiyaarkiisa isugu bixiyey, oo isna waxaa la jiray laba boqol oo kun oo ah rag xoog badan.

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

¹⁷Oo reer Benyaamiinna waxaa ka joogay Elyaadaac oo ahaa nin xoog badan, oo isna waxaa la jiray laba boqol oo kun oo nin oo sita qaanso iyo gaashaan,

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

¹⁸oo isna waxaa ku xigay Yehoosaabaad, waxaana isaga la jiray boqol iyo siddeetan kun oo nin oo dagaal loo diyaariyey.Oo kuwanu waxay ahaayeen intii boqorka u adeegi jirtay, oo ayan ku jirin kuwii uu boqorku fadhiisiyey magaalooyinkii deyrka lahaa oo dalka Yahuudah ku yiil oo dhan.

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

¹⁹Oo kuwanu waxay ahaayeen intii boqorka u adeegi jirtay, oo ayan ku jirin kuwii uu boqorku fadhiisiyey magaalooyinkii deyrka lahaa oo dalka Yahuudah ku yiil oo dhan.
