曆代記下-2 Chronicles 第 17 章

17:1	亞撒的兒子約沙法接續他作王，奮勇自強，防備以色列人， And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and he strengthened himself against Israel.
17:2	安置軍兵在猶大一切堅固城裏，又安置防兵在猶大地和他父親亞撒所攻取以法蓮的城邑中。 And he put forces in all the fortified cities of Judah and put garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim that Asa his father had taken.
17:3	耶和華與約沙法同在，因為他行他祖大衛起初所行的道路，不尋求諸巴力， And Jehovah was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the former ways of David his father; and he did not pursue the Baals
17:4	隻尋求他父親的神，遵行祂的誡命，不照以色列人所行的而行。 But pursued the God of his father and walked in His commandments and did not do as Israel had done.
17:5	所以耶和華使國在他手中得堅定；猶大眾人給約沙法進貢，他大有財富和尊榮。 Therefore Jehovah established the kingdom in his hand. And all Judah gave tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance.
17:6	他心誌高昂，遵行耶和華的道路，並且從猶大除掉一切邱壇和木像。 And his heart was exalted in the ways of Jehovah; and even more, he removed the high places and the Asherahs from Judah.
17:7	他作王第三年，就差遣大臣便亥伊勒、俄巴底、撒迦利雅、拿坦業、米該亞，往猶大各城去教訓百姓； And in the third year of his reign he sent his officials Ben-hail and Obadiah and Zechariah and Nethanel and Micaiah to teach in the cities of Judah;
17:8	同著他們的有利未人示瑪雅、尼探雅、西巴第雅、亞撒黑、示米拉末、約拿單、亞多尼雅、多比雅、駝巴多尼雅；又有祭司以利沙瑪、約蘭同著他們。 And with them he sent the Levites Shemaiah and Nethaniah and Zebadiah and Asahel and Shemiramoth and Jehonathan and Adonijah and Tobijah and Tob- adonijah, the Levites; and with them, Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
17:9	他們帶著耶和華的律法書，在猶大施教，周遊猶大各城教訓百姓。 And they taught in Judah, having the book of the law of Jehovah; and they went around all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.
17:10	猶大四圍各地的列國都畏懼耶和華，不敢與約沙法爭戰。 And the fear of Jehovah was upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, and they waged no war against Jehoshaphat.
17:11	有些非利士人給約沙法送禮物，納貢銀；亞拉伯人也送他羊群，有公綿羊七千七百隻，公山羊七千七百隻。 And some of the Philistines would bring presents to Jehoshaphat and silver as tribute; even the Arabians would bring him flocks, seven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred male goats.
17:12	約沙法日漸強大，極其強盛，在猶大建造營寨和積貨城。 And Jehoshaphat grew exceedingly great, and he built fortresses and store cities in Judah.
17:13	他在猶大城邑中有許多工程，又在耶路撒冷有戰士，就是大能的勇士。 And he conducted many works in the cities of Judah and had men of war, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem.
17:14	他們點閱的結果，按著宗族，記在下麵：屬猶大的千夫長中，有千夫長押拿，率領大能的勇士三十萬； And this was the muster of them according to their fathers' house: of Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor;
17:15	其次是千夫長約哈難，率領大能的勇士二十八萬； And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred eighty thousand;
17:16	其次是細基利的兒子亞瑪斯雅，他為耶和華甘心奉獻自己，率領大能的勇士二十萬。 And next to him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who offered willingly himself to Jehovah, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
17:17	屬便雅憫的，有大能的勇士以利雅大，率領拿弓箭和盾牌的二十萬； And of Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valor, and with him two hundred thousand men armed with bow and shield;
17:18	其次是約薩拔，率領裝備好能打仗的十八萬。 And next to him was Jehozabad, and with him one hundred eighty thousand armed for war.
17:19	這些都是伺候王的，還有王在全猶大堅固城中所安置的不在其內。 These were those who served the king, besides those whom the king had put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
