2 Chronicles 17

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Then Jehoshaphat, his son, reigned in his place. And he grew strong against Israel.	1 وملك يهوشافاط ابنه عوضا عنه وتشدد على اسرائيل.
2 And he appointed numbers of soldiers in all the cities of Judah that had been fortified with walls. And he placed garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had seized.	2 وجعل جيشا في جميع مدن يهوذا الحصينة وجعل وكلاء في ارض يهوذا وفي مدن افرايم التي اخذها آسا ابوه.
3 And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father, David. And he did not trust in the Baals,	3 وكان الرب مع يهوشافاط لانه سار في طرق داود ابيه الاولى ولم يطلب البعليم
4 but in the God of his father. And he advanced in his precepts, and not according to the sins of Israel.	4 ولكنه طلب اله ابيه وسار في وصاياه لا حسب اعمال اسرائيل.
5 And the Lord confirmed the kingdom in his hand. And all of Judah gave gifts to Jehoshaphat. And innumerable riches were brought to him, and much glory.	5 فثبّت الرب المملكة في يده وقدم كل يهوذا هدايا ليهوشافاط وكان له غنى وكرامة بكثرة.
6 And when his heart had taken courage because of the ways of the Lord, he now also took away the high places and the sacred groves from Judah.	6 وتقوى قلبه في طرق الرب ونزع ايضا المرتفعات والسواري من يهوذا
7 Then, in the third year of his reign, he sent Benhail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, from among his leaders, so that they might teach in the cites of Judah.	7 وفي السنة الثالثة لملكه ارسل الى رؤسائه الى بنحائل وعوبديا وزكريا ونثنيئل وميخايا ان يعلّموا في مدن يهوذا
8 And with them were the Levites Shemaiah and Nethaniah and Zebadiah, and also Asahel and Shemiramoth and Jehonathan, and the Levites Adonijah and Tobijah and Tobadonijah. And with them were the priests Elishama and Jehoram.	8 ومعهم اللاويون شمعيا ونثنيا وزبديا وعسائيل وشميراموث ويهوناثان وادونيا وطوبيا وطوب ادونيا اللاويون ومعهم اليشمع ويهورام الكاهنان.
9 And they were teaching the people in Judah, having with them the book of the law of the Lord. And they were traveling through all the cities of Judah, and were instructing the people.	9 فعلّموا في يهوذا ومعهم سفر شريعة الرب وجالوا في جميع مدن يهوذا وعلّموا الشعب.
10 And so, the fear of the Lord fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands which were around Judah. And they did not dare to make war against Jehoshaphat.	10 وكانت هيبة الرب على جميع ممالك الاراضي التي حول يهوذا فلم يحاربوا يهوشافاط.
11 Moreover, the Philistines carried gifts to Jehoshaphat, and a tribute in silver. Also, the Arabians brought cattle: seven thousand seven hundred rams, and the same number of he-goats.	11 وبعض الفلسطينيين اتوا يهوشافاط بهدايا وحمل فضة والعربان ايضا أتوه بغنم من الكباش سبعة آلاف وسبع مئة ومن التيوس سبعة آلاف وسبع مئة
12 Therefore, Jehoshaphat increased and was magnified, even on high. And in Judah, he built houses in the likeness of towers, and walled cities.	12 وكان يهوشافاط يتعظم جدا وبنى في يهوذا حصونا ومدن مخازن.
13 And he prepared many works in the cities of Judah. Also, there were men experienced in warfare in Jerusalem,	13 وكان له شغل كثير في مدن يهوذا ورجال حرب جبابرة بأس في اورشليم.
14 and this is the number of them, by each of the houses and families. In Judah, the leader of the army was Adnah, the commander; and with him were three hundred thousand very experienced men.	14 وهذا عددهم حسب بيوت آبائهم من يهوذا رؤساء الوف. عدنة الرئيس ومعه جبابرة بأس ثلاث مئة الف.
15 After him, Jehohanan was the leader; and with him were two hundred eighty thousand.	15 وبجانبه يهوناثان الرئيس ومعه مئتان وثمانون الفا.
16 Also after him, there was Amasiah, the son of Zichri, who was consecrated to the Lord; and with him were two hundred thousand strong men.	16 وبجانبه عمسيا بن زكري المنتدب للرب ومعه مئتا الف جبار باس.
17 Following him, there was Eliada, who was experienced in battle; and with him were two hundred thousand, holding bow and shield.	17 ومن بنيامين الياداع جبار بأس ومعه من المتسلحين بالقسي والاتراس مئتا الف.
18 Then too, after him, there was Jehozabad; and with him were one hundred eighty thousand lightly-armed solders.	18 وبجانبه يهوزاباد ومعه مئة وثمانون الفا متجردون للحرب.
19 All these were at the hand of the king, aside from the others, whom he had positioned in the walled cities, in all of Judah.	19 هؤلاء خدام الملك فضلا عن الذين جعلهم الملك في المدن الحصينة في كل يهوذا
