2 Tantara 17

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

And he became king Jehoshaphat son his in place of him and he strengthened himself on Israel.

2 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 he put an army in all [the] cities of Judah fortified and he put garrisons in [the] land of Judah and in [the] cities of Ephraim which he had captured Asa father his.

3 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;

And he was Yahweh with Jehoshaphat for he walked in [the] ways of David ancestor his former and not he sought the Baals.

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

For [the] God of father his he sought and in commandments his he walked and not according to [the] deed[s] of Israel.

5 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 he established Yahweh the kingdom in hand his and they gave all Judah tribute to Jehoshaphat and it belonged to him wealth and honor to abundance.

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

And it was high heart his in [the] ways of Yahweh and again he removed the high places and the Asherah poles from Judah.

7 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 in year three of reigning his he sent officials his Ben-Hail and Obadiah and Zechariah and Nethanel and Micaiah to teach in [the] cities of Judah.

8 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 [were] with them the Levites Shemaiah and Nethaniah and Zebadiah and Asahel (and Shemiramoth *QK) and Jonathan and Adonijah and Tobijah and Tob-Adonijah the Levites and [were] with them Elishama and Jehoram the priests.

9 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 they taught in Judah and [was] with them [the] book of [the] law of Yahweh and they went round in all [the] cities of Judah and they taught among the people.

10 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.

And it was - [the] dread of Yahweh on all [the] kingdoms of the lands which [were] around Judah and not they waged war with Jehoshaphat.

11 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 some of [the] Philistines [were] bringing to Jehoshaphat tribute and silver a load also the Arabs [were] bringing to him flock[s] rams seven thousand and seven hundred and male goats seven thousand and seven hundred.

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

And it was Jehoshaphat [was] going and [was] becoming great to upwards and he built in Judah fortresses and cities of storage.

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

And property much it belonged to him in [the] cities of Judah and men of war mighty [men] of strength [were] in Jerusalem.

14 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 these [were] group[s] their to [the] house of ancestors their of Judah commanders of thousands Adnah [was] the commander and [were] with him mighty [men] of strength three hundred thousand.

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

And on hand his Jehohanan the commander and with him two hundred and eighty thousand.

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

And on hand his Amasiah [the] son of Zikri who volunteered to Yahweh and with him two hundred thousand mighty [man] of strength.

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

And from Benjamin a mighty [man] of strength Eliada and with him [men] equipped of bow and shield two hundred thousand.

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

And on hand his Jehozabad and with him one hundred and eighty thousand [men] equipped of war.

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

These [were] the [ones who] served the king besides [those] whom he put the king in [the] cities of fortification in all Judah.
