2 Crônicas 17

1E Jeosafá, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar; e fortificou-se contra Israel.

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

2E pôs soldados em todas as cidades fortificadas de Judá, e estabeleceu guarnições na terra de Judá, como também nas cidades de Efraim, que Asa seu pai tinha 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 o Senhor era com Jeosafá; porque andou nos primeiros caminhos de Davi seu pai, e não buscou a Baalins.

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

4Antes buscou ao Deus de seu pai, andou nos 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.

5E o Senhor confirmou o reino na sua mão, e todo o Judá deu presentes a Jeosafá, o qual 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. {brought: Heb. gave}

6E exaltou-se o seu coração nos caminhos do Senhor e, ainda mais, 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. {was...: that is, was encouraged}

7E no terceiro ano do seu reinado enviou ele os seus príncipes, a Bene-Hail, a Obadias, a Zacarias, a Natanael e a Micaías, para ensinarem 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 os levitas, Semaías, Netanias, Zebadias, Asael, Semiramote, Jônatas, Adonias, Tobias e Tobe-Adonias e, com estes levitas, os sacerdotes, Elisama e Jeorão.

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, levando consigo o livro da lei do Senhor; e foram a todas as cidades de Judá, ensinando entre o 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 veio o temor do Senhor sobre todos os reinos das terras, que estavam ao redor de Judá, e não guerrearam contra Jeosafá.

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. {fell: Heb. was}

11E alguns dentre os filisteus traziam presentes a Jeosafá, e prata como tributo; também os árabes lhe trouxeram gado miúdo; 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.

12Cresceu, pois, Jeosafá grandemente em extremo e edificou fortalezas e cidades de provisões em Judá.

12And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store. {castles: or, palaces}

13E teve muitas obras nas cidades de Judá, e homens de guerra e 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 suas casas paternas; em Judá eram capitàes dos milhares: o chefe Adna, e com ele trezentos mil homens valentes;

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.

15E depois dele o capitão Joanã, e com ele duzentos e oitenta mil;

15And next to him {was} Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand. {next...: Heb. at his hand}

16E depois Amasias, filho de Zicri, que voluntariamente se entregou 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.

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

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

18E depois dele Jozabade, e com ele cento e oitenta mil, armados para a guerra.

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

19Estes estavam no serviço do rei; afora os que o rei tinha posto nas cidades fortes por todo o Judá.

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