II Chronicles 17

Jeosafá, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar, e fortaleceu-se contra Israel.

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

Pôs forças armadas em todas as cidades fortes de Judá e dispôs guarnições na terra de Judá, como também nas cidades de Efraim que Asa, seu pai, tinha tomado.

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.

E o Senhor era com Jeosafá, porque andou conforme os primeiros caminhos de Davi, seu pai, e não buscou aos baalins;

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

antes buscou ao Deus de seu pai, e andou nos seus mandamentos, e não segundo as obras de Israel.

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

Por isso o Senhor confirmou o reino na sua mão; e todo o Judá trouxe presentes a Jeosafá; e ele teve riquezas e glória em abundância.

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

E encorajou-se o seu coração nos caminhos do Senhor; e ele tirou de Judá os altos e os aserins.

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

No terceiro ano do seu reinado enviou ele os seus príncipes, Bene-Hail, Obadias, Zacarias, Netanel e Micaías, para ensinarem nas cidades de Judá;

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.

e com eles os levitas Semaías, Netanias, Zebadias, Asael, Semiramote, Jônatas, Adonias, Tobias e Tobadonias e, com estes levitas, os sacerdotes Elisama e Jeorão.

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.

E ensinaram em Judá, levando consigo o livro da lei do Senhor; foram por todas as cidades de Judá, ensinando entre o povo.

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.

Então caiu o temor do Senhor sobre todos os reinos das terras que estavam ao redor de Judá, de modo que não fizeram guerra contra Jeosafá.

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.

Alguns dentre os filisteus traziam presentes a Jeosafá, e prata como tributo; e os árabes lhe trouxeram rebanhos: sete mil e setecentos carneiros, e sete mil e setecentos bodes.

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.

Assim Jeosafá ia-se tornando cada vez mais poderoso; e edificou fortalezas e cidades-armazéns em Judá;

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

e teve grande quantidade de munições nas cidades de Judá, e soldados, homens valorosos, em Jerusalém.

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

Este é o número deles segundo as suas casas paternas: de Judá os comandantes de mil: o comandante Adná, com trezentos mil homens valorosos;

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.

após ele o comandante Jeoanã com duzentos e oitenta mil;

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

após ele Amasias, filho de Zicri, que voluntariamente se entregou ao Senhor, e com ele duzentos mil valorosos;

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.

e de Benjamim: Eliadá, homem destemido, com duzentos mil armados de arco e de escudo;

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

e após ele Jeozabade, com cento e oitenta mil armados para a guerra.

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

Estes estavam no serviço do rei, afora os que o rei tinha posto nas cidades fortes por todo o Judá.

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