II Chronicles 17

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

Jozafa, pitit Asa, moute wa nan plas papa l'. Li ranfòse pozisyon l' devan peyi Izrayèl la.

And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.

Li mete sòlda nan tout lavil ki gen ranpa nan peyi Jida a, li mete gouvènè nan tout peyi Jida a ak nan tout lavil Asa, papa l', te pran nan peyi Efrayim lan.

And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;

Seyè a te kanpe avèk Jozafa, paske li te fè tankou David, granpapa l', nan konmansman rèy li. Li pa t' kouri dèyè Baal yo.

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

Li t'ap chache tout jan pou li te sèvi Bondye zansèt li a. Li te mache dapre lòd Bondye bay yo, li pa t' fè tankou wa Izrayèl yo.

Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.

Seyè a bay gouvènman l' lan fòs. Nan peyi Jida a, tout moun t'ap pote kado ba li. Konsa, li te vin gen anpil byen. Tout moun t'ap fè lwanj li.

And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.

Li te pran plezi l' nan fè volonte Seyè a. Li fè disparèt tout kote yo t'ap sèvi zidòl nan peyi Jida a, ansanm ak tout estati Achera yo.

Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Ben–hail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.

Li te gen twazan depi li te wa lè li voye kèk chèf nan tout lavil peyi Jida yo pou moutre pèp la sa pou l' fè. Men non chèf yo: Se te Bennayil, Obadya, Zekaraya, Netaneyèl ak Mikaya.

And with them he sent Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob–adonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests.

Yo te gen nèf moun Levi ak de prèt ak yo. Moun Levi yo te rele Chemaya, Netanya, Zebadya, Asayèl, Chemiramòt, Jonatan, Adonija, Tobija ak Tobadonija. Prèt yo te rele: Elichama ak Joram.

And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.

Avèk liv lalwa Seyè a nan men yo, yo mache nan tout peyi a, yo ale nan tout lavil yo pou moutre pèp la sa pou li fè.

And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.

Tout gouvènman peyi ki te vwazen ak peyi Jida a te sitèlman pè Seyè a, yo yonn pa chache fè lagè ak wa Jozafa.

Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats.

Lekontrè, te gen anpil moun Filisti ki te pote anpil kado ak anpil ajan ba li tankou si li te chèf yo. Ata moun peyi Arabi yo te pote sètmil sètsan (7.700) mouton ak sètmil sètsan (7.700) kabrit fè l' kado.

And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store.

Se konsa, pouvwa Jozafa a t'ap vin pi fò chak jou. Nan tout peyi Jida a, li bati sitadèl ak lavil pou sèvi l' depo.

And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem.

Li te gen pwovizyon an kantite nan tout lavil peyi a. Nan lavil Jerizalèm menm, li te gen anpil vanyan sòlda.

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

Men kantite ki te genyen dapre branch fanmi yo: Te gen Adna, kòmandan tout chèf batayon branch fanmi Jida a ak twasanmil (300.000) sòlda sou zòd li.

And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand.

Li te gen avè l' Jokanan avèk desankatrevenmil (280.000) sòlda sou zòd li.

And next him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour.

Avè l' toujou te gen Amasya, pitit Zikri a, ak desanmil (200.000) sòlda. Amasya sa a te pote tèt li limenm, san pesonn pa t' mande l' pou sèvi Seyè a.

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

Alatèt moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo te gen Elyada, yon vanyan sòlda, ak desanmil (200.000) sòlda ki te gen plak pwotèj ak banza.

And next him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war.

Avè l' te gen Jeozabad avèk sankatrevenmil (180.000) sòlda byen ame pou lagè.

These waited on the king, beside those whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.

Se moun sa yo ki t'ap sèvi wa a lavil Jerizalèm, san konte lòt sòlda wa a te mete an ganizon nan lòt lavil ak ranpa nan peyi Jida a.
