1Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, 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.
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.
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.
3Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and didn’t seek the Baals,
3 Rabbi go mo Yehosafat banda zama a na fonda gana kaŋ kaayo Dawda jin ka gana. A mana Baaley ceeci,
4but sought to 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.
5Therefore Yahweh established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat tribute; and he had riches and honor 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.
6His heart was lifted up in the ways of Yahweh: and furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim 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.
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;
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, 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.
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.
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.
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.
10The fear of Yahweh fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that 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.
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.
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.
12Jehoshaphat grew great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles and cities of store.
12 Yehosafat beeri gumo da cimi. A na wongu fuyaŋ da jinay jisiyaŋ kwaara yaŋ cina Yahuda ra.
13He had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem.
13 A gonda goy-goy boobo Yahuda galley ra. Soojeyaŋ kaŋ ga yaaru go no mo Urusalima ra.
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;
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 Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred 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 Yahweh; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
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.
17Of Benjamin: Eliada a mighty man of valor, 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 Jehozabad and with him one hundred 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 those who waited on the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all 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.
