2 Chronicles 17
1 And Josaphat his son reigned in his stead, and grew strong against Israel.
Tada se zacari Josafat sin njegov na njegovo mjesto, i ukrijepi se na Izrailja.
2 And he placed numbers of soldiers in all the fortified cities of Juda. And he put garrisons in the land of Juda, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
I ponamješta vojsku po svijem tvrdijem gradovima Judinijem, i ponamješta straže po zemlji Judinoj i po gradovima Jefremovijem, koje zadobi Asa otac njegov.
3 And the Lord was with Josaphat, because he walked in the first ways of David his father: and trusted not in Baalim,
I bijaše Gospod s Josafatom, jer hoðaše prvijem putovima Davida oca svojega i ne tražaše Vala.
4 But in the God of his father, and walk in his commandments, and not according to the sins of Israel.
Nego Boga oca svojega tražaše i po zapovijestima njegovijem hoðaše, i ne èinjaše kao sinovi Izrailjevi.
5 And the Lord established the kingdom in his hand, and all Juda brought presents to Josaphat: and he acquired immense riches, and much glory.
Zato utvrdi Gospod carstvo u ruci njegovoj, i sav narod Judin davaše dare Josafatu, te imaše veliko blago i slavu.
6 And when his heart had taken courage for the ways of the Lord, he took away also the high places and the groves out of Juda.
I srce se njegovo oslobodi na putovima Gospodnjim, te još obori visine i lugove u Judeji.
7 And in the third year of his reign, he sent of his princes Benhail, and Abdias, and Zacharias, and Nathanael, and Micheas, to teach in the cities of Juda:
I treæe godine svoga carovanja posla knezove svoje Ven-Aila i Ovadiju i Zahariju i Natanaila i Miheju da uèe po gradovima Judinijem;
8 And with them the Levites, Semeias, and Nathanias, and Zabadias, and Asael, and Semiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonias, and Tobias, and Thobadonias Levites, and with them Elisama, and Joram priests.
I s njima Levite: Semaju i Nataniju i Zevadiju i Asaila i Semiramota i Jonatana i Adoniju i Toviju i Tov-Adoniju, Levite, i s njima Elisamu i Jorama sveštenike.
9 And they taught the people in Juda, having with them the book of the law of the Lord: and they went about all the cities of Juda, and instructed the people.
I uèahu po Judeji imajuæi pri sebi knjigu zakona Gospodnjega, i prohoðahu sve gradove Judine uèeæi narod.
10 And the fear of the Lord came upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Juda, and they durst not make war against Josaphat.
I doðe strah Gospodnji na sva carstva po zemljama oko Jude, te ne vojevaše na Josafata.
11 The Philistines also brought presents to Josaphat, and tribute in silver, and the Arabians brought him cattle, seven thousand seven hundred rams, and as many he goats.
I sami Filisteji donošahu Josafatu dare i danak u novcu; i Arapi dogonjahu mu stoku, po sedam tisuæa i sedam stotina ovnova i po sedam tisuæa i sedam stotina jaraca.
12 And Josaphat grew, and became exceeding great: and he built in Juda houses like towers, and walled cities.
Tako napredovaše Josafat i podiže se veoma; i sazida u Judeji kule i gradove za žitnice.
13 And he prepared many works in the cities of Juda: and he had warriors, and valiant men in Jerusalem.
I imaše mnogo dobra po gradovima Judinijem, i vojnika, hrabrijeh junaka u Jerusalimu.
14 Of whom this is the number of the houses and families of every one: in Juda captains of the army, Ednas the chief, and with him three hundred thousand most valiant men.
A ovo je broj njihov po domovima otaca njihovijeh; od Jude tisuænici: Adna vojvoda, s kojim bijaše tri stotine tisuæa hrabrijeh junaka.
15 After him Johanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand.
A za njim Joanan vojvoda, s kojim bijaše dvjesta i osamdeset tisuæa;
16 And after him was Amasias the son of Zechri, consecrated to the Lord, and with him were two hundred thousand valiant men.
A za njim Amasija sin Zihrijev, koji se dragovoljno dade Gospodu, i s njim bijaše dvjesta tisuæa hrabrijeh junaka.
17 After him was Eliada valiant in battle, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield.
A od Venijamina: hrabri junak Elijada, s kojim bijaše dvjesta tisuæa naoružanijeh lukom i štitom;
18 After him also was Jozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand ready for war.
A za njim Jozavad, s kojim bijaše sto i osamdeset tisuæa naoružanijeh za boj.
19 All these were at the hand of the king, beside others, whom he had put in the walled cities, in all Juda.
Ovi služahu caru osim onijeh koje ponamješta car po tvrdijem gradovima u svoj zemlji Judinoj.
