Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Asa’s son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place, and he strengthened himself against Israel.
1Pea naʻe pule ʻa Sihosafate ko hono foha ko hono fetongi, pea naʻa ne fakamālohi ʻe ia ia ki ʻIsileli.
2He stationed troops in every fortified city of Judah and put garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.
2Pea naʻa ne vahe ʻae kautau ke nofo ki he ngaahi kolotau kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, ʻo ne vahe ʻae ngaahi kongakau leʻo ʻi he fonua ʻo Siuta, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻaia naʻe lavaʻi ʻe ʻAsa ko ʻene tamai.
3Now the LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the earlier ways of his father David. He did not seek out the Baals,
3Pea naʻe ʻia Sihosafate ʻa Sihova, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi ʻuluaki anga ʻo ʻene tamai ko Tevita, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne kumi kia Peali;
4but he sought the God of his father and walked by His commandments rather than the practices of Israel.
4Ka naʻe kumi ʻe ia kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻene tamai, pea ne ʻalu ʻi heʻene ngaahi fekau, pea naʻe ʻikai fakatatau ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻIsileli.
5So the LORD established the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah brought him tribute, so that he had an abundance of riches and honor.
5Ko ia naʻe fakatuʻumaʻu ʻe Sihova ʻae puleʻanga ʻi hono nima: pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Siuta kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa kia Sihosafate: pea maʻu ʻe ia ʻae koloa mo e nāunau ke lahi ʻaupito.
6And his heart took delight in the ways of the LORD; furthermore, he removed the high places and Asherah poles from Judah.
6Pea naʻe hiki hake hono loto ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Sihova: pea naʻa ne liʻaki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga mo e ngaahi vao tapu mei Siuta.
7In the third year of his reign, Jehoshaphat sent his officials Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah to teach in the cities of Judah,
7¶ Pea ʻi hono tolu taʻu ʻo ʻene pule foki, naʻa ne fekau ki hono houʻeiki, ʻio, kia Peniheili, pea kia ʻOpataia, pea kia Sakalia, pea kia Netanili, pea mo Mikaia, ke ako ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta.
8accompanied by certain Levites—Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah—along with the priests Elishama and Jehoram.
8Pea naʻa ne fekau mo kinautolu ʻae kau Livai, ʻio, ʻa Simaia, mo Netania, mo Sepatia, mo ʻAsaeli, mo Similamoti, mo Sihonatani, mo ʻAtonisa, mo Topisa, mo Tope ʻAtonisa, ko e kau Livai: pea ʻalu mo kinautolu ʻa ʻIlisama mo Siholami, ko e ongo taulaʻeiki.
9They taught throughout Judah, taking with them the Book of the Law of the LORD. They went throughout the towns of Judah and taught the people.
9Pea naʻa nau fai ʻae ako ʻi Siuta, ʻonau maʻu ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tohi ʻoe fono ʻa Sihova: pea naʻa nau ʻalu fano ʻi he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, ʻonau ako ki he kakai.
10And the dread of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that surrounded Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.
10¶ Pea naʻe tō ʻae manavahē kia Sihova ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi fonua naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻi Siuta: ko ia naʻe ʻikai langaʻi ai ha tau kia Sihosafate.
11Some Philistines also brought gifts and silver as tribute to Jehoshaphat, and the Arabs brought him 7,700 rams and 7,700 goats from their flocks.
11Pea ko e kau Filisitia niʻihi naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa kia Sihosafate, mo e siliva tukuhau: pea naʻe ʻomi kiate ia ʻe he kakai ʻAlepea ʻae fanga manu, ko e sipitangata ʻe fitu afe, mo e fitungeau, mo e kosi tangata ʻe fitu afe mo e fitungeau.
12Jehoshaphat grew stronger and stronger, and he built fortresses and store cities in Judah
12¶ Pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau ki muʻa ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻa Sihosafate: pea naʻe langa ʻe ia ʻi Siuta ʻae ngaahi fale māʻolunga, mo e ngaahi kolo tukunga meʻa.
13and kept vast supplies in the cities of Judah. He also had warriors in Jerusalem who were mighty men of valor.
13Pea naʻe lahi ʻene ngāue ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta: pea naʻe nofo ʻi Selūsalema ʻae kau tangata tau, ʻae kau toʻa mālohi.
14These are their numbers according to the houses of their fathers: From Judah, the commanders of thousands: Adnah the commander, and with him 300,000 mighty men of valor;
14Pea ko hono lau eni ʻokinautolu ʻo fakatatau ki he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai: Ko e kau ʻeiki pule ʻoe ngaahi toko afe ʻo Siuta: ko ʻAtina, ko e tuʻukimuʻa, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kau tangata toʻa mālohi ko e toko tolu kilu.
15next to him, Jehohanan the commander, and with him 280,000;
15Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻa Sihohanani ko e ʻeikitau, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae toko ua kilu, mo e toko valu mano.
16and next to him, Amasiah son of Zichri, the volunteer for the LORD, and with him 200,000 mighty men of valor.
16Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻa ʻAmasia ko e foha ʻo Sikili, ʻaia naʻa ne tuku fiemālie pe ia maʻa Sihova: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kau tangata toʻa mālohi ko e toko ua kilu.
17From Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valor, and with him 200,000 armed with bows and shields;

18and next to him, Jehozabad, and with him 180,000 armed for battle.
18Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻa Sihosapati, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae tokotaha kilu mo e toko valu mano naʻe tali teu pe ki he tau.
19These were the men who served the king, besides those he stationed in the fortified cities throughout Judah.
19naʻe tali fekau ʻakinautolu ni ki he tuʻi, kaeʻumaʻā ʻakinautolu naʻe tuku ʻe he tuʻi ki he ngaahi kolo tau ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻo Siuta.
