2 Chronicles 17

KING JAMES BIBLE	JERUSALEM
1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.	1 Son fils Josaphat régna à sa place et affermit son pouvoir sur Israël.
2 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.	2 Il mit des troupes dans toutes les villes fortifiées de Juda et établit des préfets dans le pays deJuda et dans les villes d'Ephraïm qu'avait conquises Asa, son père.
3 And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;	3 Yahvé fut avec Josaphat, car sa conduite fut celle qu'avait d'abord suivie son père et il nerechercha pas les Baals.
4 But sought to the LORD God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.	4 C'est bien le Dieu de son père qu'il rechercha, et il marcha selon ses commandements sansimiter les actions d'Israël.
5 Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.	5 Yahvé maintint le royaume entre ses mains; tous les Judéens payaient tribut à Josaphat, sibien qu'il eut beaucoup de richesses et d'honneur.
6 And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.	6 Son coeur progressa dans les voies de Yahvé et il supprima de nouveau en Juda les hautslieux et les ashéras.
7 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.	7 La troisième année de son règne, il envoya ses officiers: Ben-Hayil, Obadya, Zekarya,Netanéel, Mikayahu, instruire les cités judéennes.
8 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.	8 Des lévites les accompagnaient: Shemayahu, Netanyahu, Zebadyahu, Asahel, Shemiramot,Yehonatân, Adoniyyahu, Tobiyyahu, lévites, ainsi que les prêtres Elishama et Yehoram.
9 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.	9 Ils se mirent à enseigner en Juda, munis du livre de la Loi de Yahvé, et firent le tour des citésjudéennes, en instruisant le peuple.
10 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.	10 La Terreur de Yahvé s'étendit sur tous les royaumes des pays qui entouraient Juda; ils nefirent pas la guerre à Josaphat.
11 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.	11 Des Philistins lui apportèrent en tribut des présents et de l'argent; les Arabes eux-mêmes luiamenèrent du petit bétail: 7.700 béliers et 7.700 boucs.
12 And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store.	12 Josaphat grandissant allait au plus haut; il édifia en Juda des citadelles et des villes-entrepôts.
13 And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem.	13 Il eut d'importants services dans les cités judéennes et des guerriers, des vaillants preux, àJérusalem.
14 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.	14 En voici la répartition par familles: Pour Juda: officiers de milliers: Adna l'officier, avec300 milliers de vaillants preux;
15 And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand.	15 à ses ordres, Yehohanân l'officier, avec 280 milliers;
16 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.	16 à ses ordres, Amasya, fils de Zikri, engagé volontaire au service de Yahvé, avec 200milliers de vaillants preux.
17 And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.	17 De Benjamin: le vaillant preux Elyada avec 200 milliers armés de l'arc et de la rondache;
18 And next him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war.	18 à ses ordres, Yehozabad, avec 180 milliers équipés pour la guerre.
19 These waited on the king, beside those whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.	19 Tels étaient ceux qui servaient le roi, sans compter les hommes qu'il avait mis dans lesplaces fortes de tout Juda.
