1 J ehoshaphat his son reigned in Asa’s stead and strengthened himself against Israel.

Oo waxaa meeshiisii boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Yehooshaafaad, oo wuxuu u xoogaystay si uu dadka Israa'iil isaga daafaco.

2 A nd he placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah and set garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim which Asa his father had taken.

Oo wuxuu ciidan fadhiisiyey magaalooyinkii deyrka lahaa oo dalka Yahuudah oo dhan, oo rugo askareedna ayuu dhex dhigay dalkii Yahuudah iyo weliba magaalooyinkii reer Efrayim oo aabbihiis Aasaa uu mar hore qabsaday.

3 T he Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the first ways of his father. He did not seek the Baals

Oo Rabbiguna Yehooshaafaad wuu la jiray, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu ku socday jidkii hore oo awowgiis Daa'uud, oo Bacaliimna ma uu doonin,

4 B ut sought and yearned with all his desire for the Lord, the God of his father, and walked in His commandments and not after the ways of Israel.

laakiinse wuxuu doonay Ilaahii awowgiis, oo wuxuu ku socday amarradiisii, mana uu yeelin falimihii dadka Israa'iil.

5 T herefore the Lord established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had great riches and honor.

Oo sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu boqortooyadii gacantiisuu ku xoogeeyey, oo dadkii Yahuudah oo dhammuna Yehooshaafaad ayay hadiyado u keeni jireen, oo isagu wuxuu lahaa maal iyo sharaf badan.

6 H is heart was cheered and his courage was high in the ways of the Lord; moreover, he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.

Oo qalbigiisuna wuxuu u sara kacay inuu qaado jidadka Rabbiga, oo weliba wuxuu dalka Yahuudah ka baabbi'iyey meelihii sarsare iyo geedihii Asheeraah.

7 A lso in the third year of his reign he sent his princes Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah to teach in the cities of Judah;

Oo haddana sannaddii saddexaad oo boqortooyadiisa ayuu diray amiirradiisii oo ahaa Benxayl, iyo Cobadyaah, iyo Sekaryaah, iyo Netaneel, iyo Miikaayaah inay magaalooyinka dalka Yahuudah dadka wax ku baraan,

8 A nd with them were the Levites—Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah; and with these Levites were the priests Elishama and Jehoram.

oo wuxuu la diray kuwii reer Laawi oo ahaa Shemacyaah, iyo Netanyaah, iyo Sebadyaah, iyo Casaaheel, iyo Shemiiraamood, iyo Yehoonaataan, iyo Adoniiyaah, iyo Toobiyaah, iyo Toob Adooniyaah, oo waxaa kaloo iyaga la jiray wadaaddadii ahaa Eliishaamaac iyo Yehooraam.

9 A nd they taught in Judah, and had the Book of the Law of the Lord with them; they went about throughout all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.

Oo iyana dalka Yahuudah ayay dadka wax ku bareen iyagoo wata kitaabkii sharciga Rabbiga, oo waxay ku dhex wareegeen magaalooyinkii dalka Yahuudah oo dhan, oo dadkiina wax bay bareen.

10 A nd a terror from the Lord fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.

Oo boqortooyooyinkii dalalkii ku wareegsanaa dalka Yahuudah oo dhan waxaa ku dhacday Rabbiga cabsidiisii, oo sidaas daraaddeed iyagu Yehooshaafaad lama ayan diririn.

11 A nd some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat gifts and tribute silver, and the Arabs brought him flocks: 7, 700 each of rams and of he-goats.

Oo reer Falastiin qaarkood ayaa Yehooshaafaad u keenay gabbaro iyo lacag baad ah, oo weliba Carabtiina waxay u keeneen adhi badan oo ah toddoba kun iyo toddoba boqol oo wan iyo toddoba kun iyo toddoba boqol oo orgi.

12 A nd Jehoshaphat became very great. He built in Judah fortresses and store cities,

Oo Yehooshaafaadna aad iyo aad buu u sii weynaaday, oo wuxuu dalka Yahuudah ka dhex dhisay qalcado iyo magaalooyin wax lagu kaydiyo.

13 A nd he had many works in the cities of Judah, and soldiers, mighty men of courage, in Jerusalem.

Oo magaalooyinka dalka Yahuudah waxaa loogu dhex sameeyey shuqullo badan, oo Yeruusaalemna waxaa u joogay rag dagaalyahan ah oo xoog badan.

14 T his was the number of them by their fathers’ houses: Of Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the chief, with 300, 000 mighty men of valor;

Oo tanuna waa tiradoodii iyo sidii ay reerahoodu kala ahaayeen, saraakiishii kun kun u talin jiray ee dadkii Yahuudah waxaa ka joogay Cadnaah oo sirkaal ahaa, oo waxaa isaga la jiray rag xoog badan oo ah saddex boqol oo kun,

15 N ext to him was Jehohanan the captain, with 280, 000;

oo waxaa isaga ku xigay Yehooxaanaan oo sirkaal ahaa, oo waxaa isaga la jiray laba boqol iyo siddeetan kun oo nin,

16 A nd next to him Amasiah son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to the Lord, with 200, 000 mighty men of valor.

oo isna waxaa ku xigay Camasyaah ina Sikrii oo Rabbiga ikhtiyaarkiisa isugu bixiyey, oo isna waxaa la jiray laba boqol oo kun oo ah rag xoog badan.

17 O f Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valor, with 200, 000 men armed with bow and shield;

Oo reer Benyaamiinna waxaa ka joogay Elyaadaac oo ahaa nin xoog badan, oo isna waxaa la jiray laba boqol oo kun oo nin oo sita qaanso iyo gaashaan,

18 N ext to him was Jehozabad with 180, 000 armed for war.

oo isna waxaa ku xigay Yehoosaabaad, waxaana isaga la jiray boqol iyo siddeetan kun oo nin oo dagaal loo diyaariyey.

19 T hese were in the king’s service, besides those had placed in fortified cities throughout all Judah.

Oo kuwanu waxay ahaayeen intii boqorka u adeegi jirtay, oo ayan ku jirin kuwii uu boqorku fadhiisiyey magaalooyinkii deyrka lahaa oo dalka Yahuudah ku yiil oo dhan.
