II Chronicles 17

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

Ary Josafata, zanak'i Asa, no nanjaka nandimby azy, ary nitombo hery hiaro tena tamin'ny Isiraely izy.

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.

Ary namponina miaramila tamin'ny tanàna mimanda rehetra eran'i Joda izy sady nametraka miaramila tany amin'ny tany Joda sy tany amin'izay tanànan'ny Efraima efa azon'i Asa rainy.

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

Ary Jehovah nomba an'i Josafata, satria nandeha tamin'ny nalehan'i Davida rainy izy, dia ilay tamin'ny voalohany, fa tsy mba nitady ireo Bala;

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

fa Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny rainy, kosa no notadiaviny, ary araka ny didiny no nalehany, fa tsy mba araka ny fanaon'ny Isiraely.

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

Koa dia nampitoerin'i Jehovah teo an-tànany ny fanjakana; ary ny Joda rehetra nitondra fanomezana ho an'i Josafata, ka dia nanana harena sy voninahitra be izy.

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

Ary ny fony nihanatoky tamin'ny lalan'i Jehovah. dia noravany tsy ho eo amin'ny Joda ny fitoerana avo sy ny Aseraha.

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.

Ary tamin'ny taona fahatelo nanjakany dia naniraka ny mpanapaka izy, dia Benaila sy Obadia sy Zakaria sy Netanela ary Mikaia, hampianatra tany amin'ny tanànan'ny Joda,

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.

Ary nisy Levita koa niaraka tamin'ireo, dia Semaia sy Netania sy Zebadia sy Asahela sy Semiramota sy Jonatana sy Adonia sy Tobia ary Tob-adonia, Levita, mbamin'i Elisama sy Jorama, mpisorona.

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.

Ary nampianatra tany Joda izy ireo, ka nentiny ny bokin'ny lalàn'i Jehovah, dia nitety ny tanànan'ny Joda rehetra izy ka nampianatra teny amin'ny olona.

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.

Ary ny tahotra an'i Jehovah nahazo ny fanjakana rehetra tamin'ny tany manodidina an'i Joda, ka dia tsy nisy niady tamin'i Josafata ireo.

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.

Ary ny Filistina sasany nitondra fanomezana sy vola hetra ho an'i Josafata; ary ny Arabo koa nitondra ondry aman'osy, dia ondrilahy fiton-jato amby fito arivo sy osilahy fiton-jato amby fito arivo.

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

Ary Josafata nihanahery indrindra ka nanao trano fiarovana sy tanàna fitehirizana tany Joda.

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

Ary nanana fananana betsaka tao amin'ny tanànan'ny Joda koa sy miaramila, lehilahy mahery, tany Jerosalema izy.

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.

Ary izao no nandaminana azy araka ny fianakaviany avy: Ny mpifehy arivo tamin'ny Joda dia Adna komandy, ary ny fehiny dia lehilahy mahery telo hetsy;

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

ary nanarakaraka azy dia Johanana komandy, ary ny fehiny dia valo alina amby roa hetsy;

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.

ary nanarakaraka azy indray dia Amasia, zanak'i Zikry, ilay nanolotena ho an'i Jehovah, ary ny fehiny dia lehilahy mahery roa hetsy.

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

Ary tamin'ny Benjamina dia Eliada, lehilahy mahery, ary ny fehiny dia lehilahy roa hetsy mitondra tsipìka sy ampinga;

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

ary nanarakaraka azy dia Jozabada, ary ny fehiny dia valo alina amby iray hetsy efa voaomana hiady.

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

Ireo no mpitoetra tamin'ny mpanjaka, afa-tsy izay nampitoerin'ny mpanjaka tany amin'ny tanàna mimanda eran'i Joda rehetra.
