WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 En lugar de Asá reinó su hijo Josafat, el cual se fortificó contra Israel.
1 Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel.
2 Estableció bases militares en todas las ciudades amuralladas de Judá y situó guarniciones en todo el país, y en las ciudades de Efraín, que su padre Asá había conquistado.
2 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.
3 El Señor estaba con Josafat, porque seguía en la buena senda en que su padre anduvo al principio, y no adoraba las imágenes de Baal.
3 Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and didn’t seek the Baals,
4 Al contrario, adoró al Dios de su padre, estuvo dispuesto a obedecer los mandamientos de la ley de Dios, y no imitó la conducta de los reyes israelitas.
4 but sought the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not in the ways of Israel.
5 Por eso, el Señor lo ayudó, de modo que pudo gobernar con firmeza a Judá. El pueblo de Judá lo quería mucho y le daba regalos. Así que Josafat llegó a tener mucha riqueza, y a disfrutar de popularidad.
5 Therefore Yahweh established the kingdom in his hand. All Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance.
6 Seguía con entusiasmo las sendas de Dios, incluso derribó los altares paganos de los cerros y destruyó los ídolos de la diosa Aserá.
6 His heart was lifted up in the ways of Yahweh. Furthermore, he took away the high places and the Asherah poles out of Judah.
7 En el tercer año de su reinado inició un programa de educación en todo el país. Envió a sus funcionarios a enseñar la ley del Señor a la gente de las ciudades de Judá. Entre ellos estaban: Ben Jayil, Abdías, Zacarías, Natanael y Micaías. Para esta misma finalidad hizo uso también del servicio de levitas como Semaías, Netanías, Zebadías, Asael, Semiramot, Jonatán, Adonías, Tobías y Tobadonías; y de sacerdotes como Elisama y Jorán. Llevaron copias del libro de la ley del Señor a todas las ciudades de Judá, para enseñar las Escrituras al pueblo.
7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;
8 Not in this translation
8 and with them Levites, even Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
9 Not in this translation
9 They taught in Judah, having the book of Yahweh’s law with them. They went about throughout all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.
10 Y el temor del Señor sobrecogió a los reinos circunvecinos, de tal manera que ninguno de ellos se atrevía a declararle la guerra al rey Josafat.
10 The fear of Yahweh fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
11 Aun algunos de los filisteos le traían obsequios y tributo anual; y los árabes le trajeron siete mil setecientos carneros y siete mil setecientos chivos.
11 Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents and silver for tribute. The Arabians also brought him flocks: seven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred male goats.
12 Y Josafat se hizo poderoso, y construyó, a lo largo de Judá, fortalezas y ciudades para almacenar alimentos.
12 Jehoshaphat grew great exceedingly; and he built fortresses and store cities in Judah.
13 Su programa de obras públicas era extenso, y tenía muchos hombres de guerra en Jerusalén, que era su capital.
13 He had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem.
14 Trescientos mil soldados de Judá se encontraban bajo el mando del Adnás. Le seguía en mando Johanán, quien estaba al frente de doscientos ochenta mil.
14 This was the numbering of them according to their fathers’ houses: From Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor;
15 Not in this translation
15 and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred eighty thousand;
16 Luego estaba Amasías hijo de Zicrí, que estaba al frente de doscientos mil. Amasías se había ofrecido para servir voluntariamente al Señor.
16 and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to Yahweh, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
17 La tribu de Benjamín hizo un aporte de doscientos mil hombres equipados con arcos y escudos, los cuales estaban bajo el mando del valeroso general Eliadá.
17 From Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valor, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
18 Jozabad estaba bajo sus órdenes con ciento ochenta mil soldados adiestrados para la guerra.
18 and next to him Jehozabad, and with him one hundred eighty thousand ready and prepared for war.
19 Estas eran las tropas destacadas en Jerusalén, aparte de las que estaban destacadas en las ciudades fortificadas en toda la nación.
19 These were those who waited on the king, in addition to those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
