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

Then Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel.

2 O o 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.

And he placed troops 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.

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

Now the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the former ways of his father David; he did not seek the Baals,

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

but sought the God of his father, and walked in His commandments and not according to the acts of Israel.

5 O o 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.

Therefore the Lord established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah gave presents to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance.

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

And his heart took delight in the ways of the Lord; moreover he removed the high places and wooden images from Judah.

7 O o 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,

Also in the third year of his reign he sent his leaders, Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.

8 o o 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.

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

9 O o 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.

So they taught in Judah, and had the Book of the Law of the Lord with them; they went throughout all the cities of Judah and taught the people.

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

And the fear of the Lord fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.

11 O o 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.

Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents and silver as tribute; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred male goats.

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

So Jehoshaphat became increasingly powerful, and he built fortresses and storage cities in Judah.

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

He had much property in the cities of Judah; and the men of war, mighty men of valor, were in Jerusalem.

14 O o 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,

These are their numbers, according to their fathers’ houses. Of Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor;

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

and next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;

16 o o 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.

and next to him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to the Lord, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.

17 O o 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,

Of Benjamin: Eliada a mighty man of valor, and with him two hundred thousand men armed with bow and shield;

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

and next to him was Jehozabad, and with him one hundred and eighty thousand prepared for war.

19 O o 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.

These served the king, besides those the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
