2 Crônicas 17

1E reinou em seu lugar Josafá seu filho, o qual prevaleceu contra Israel.

1And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.

2E pôs exército em todas as cidades fortes de Judá, e colocou gente de guarnição, em terra de Judá, e também nas cidades de Efraim que seu pai Asa havia tomado.

2And 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.

3E foi o SENHOR com Josafá, porque andou nos primeiros caminhos de Davi seu pai, e não buscou aos baalins;

3And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;

4mas buscou o Deus de seu pai, e andou em seus mandamentos, e não segundo as obras de Israel.

4But sought to the LORD God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.

5Por isso o SENHOR confirmou o reino em sua mão, e todo Judá deu presentes a Josafá; e teve riquezas e glória em abundância.

5Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.

6E animou-se seu coração nos caminhos do SENHOR, e tirou os altos e os bosques de Judá.

6And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.

7Ao terceiro ano de seu reinado enviou seus príncipes Bene-Hail, Obadias, Zacarias, Natanael e Micaías, para que ensinassem nas cidades de Judá;

7Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Benhail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.

8E com eles aos levitas, Semaías, Netanias, Zebadias, e Asael, e Semiramote, e Jônatas, e Adonias, e Tobias, e Tobadonias, levitas; e com eles a Elisama e a Jorão, sacerdotes.

8And with them he sent Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests.

9E ensinaram em Judá, tendo consigo o livro da lei do SENHOR, e rodearam por todas as cidades de Judá ensinando ao povo.

9And 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.

10E caiu o pavor do SENHOR sobre todos os reinos das terras que estavam ao redor de Judá; que não ousaram fazer guerra contra Josafá.

10And 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.

11E dos filisteus traziam presentes a Josafá, e tributos de prata. Os árabes também lhe trouxeram gado: sete mil e setecentos carneiros e sete mil e setecentos bodes.

11Also 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.

12Ia pois Josafá crescendo altamente: e edificou em Judá fortalezas e cidades de depósitos.

12And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store.

13Teve ademais muitas obras nas cidades de Judá, e homens de guerra muito valentes em Jerusalém.

13And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem.

14E este é o número deles segundo as casas de seus pais: em Judá, chefes dos milhares: o general Adna, e com ele trezentos mil homens muito esforçados;

14And 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.

15Depois dele, o chefe Joanã, e com ele duzentos e oitenta mil;

15And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand.

16Depois este, Amasias filho de Zicri, o qual se havia oferecido voluntariamente ao SENHOR, e com ele duzentos mil homens valentes;

16And 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.

17De Benjamim, Eliada, homem muito valente, e com ele duzentos mil armados de arco e escudo;

17And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.

18Depois este, Jozabade, e com ele cento e oitenta mil preparados para a guerra.

18And next him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war.

19Estes eram servos do rei, sem os que havia o rei posto nas cidades de guarnição por toda Judá.

19These waited on the king, beside those whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.
