1 Fa: no, Moua: be amola A: mone fi dunu ilia dadi gagui wa: i da ilia na: iyado fidisu fi Miunimi amo gilisili, Yuda fi doaga: la: le, ilia soge golili sa: i.
Then, after this, the Moabites and Ammonites, as well as some of the Meunites, came to attack Jehoshaphat.
2 Sia: adola ahoasu dunu mogili, ilia da hina bagade Yihosiafa: dema misini, amane sia: i, “Idome dadi gagui wa: i bagade da Bogoi Hano Wayabo na: iyado amoga dima doagala: musa: maha. Ilia da Ha: sasoneda: ima (eno dio da Enegidai) amo hasalasili, susugui dagoi.
Some people came and told Jehoshaphat, “A large army is coming to fight you from Edom, from the other side of the Dead Sea. They have already reached Hazazon-tamar,” (otherwise called En-gedi).
3 Yihosiafa: de da beda: ga, Hina Godema ea hamomu logo olelema: ne sia: ne gadoi. Amalalu, e da Yuda dunu huluane ha: i mae nawene esaloma: ne sia: i.
Jehoshaphat was afraid, and went to ask the Lord what to do. He also ordered everyone throughout Judah to fast.
4 Yuda soge moilai bai bagade fi dunu mogili bagohame da Hina Gode Ea fidisu adole ba: ma: ne, Yelusalemega misi.
So the people of Judah gathered in Jerusalem to pray to the Lord—in fact, they came from all the towns of Judah to commit themselves to him.
5 Ili amola Yelusaleme fi dunu da Debolo Diasu ea gaheabolo gagoi amo ganodini gilisi. Hina bagade Yihosiafa: de da ili midadi lelu,
Jehoshaphat stood before the assembled people of Judah and Jerusalem at the Temple, in front of the new courtyard,
6 ilia huluane nabima: ne, amane sia: ne gadoi,” Ninia aowalalia Hina Gode! Di da Hebene ganodini esala, osobo bagadega fifi asi gala huluanedafa ouligisa! Di da baligili gasadafa amola dunu afae dima gegemu da hamedei.
and said, “Lord, God of our forefathers, aren't you the God of heaven? Don't you rule over all earthly kingdoms? You possess strength and power, and no one can stand against you!
7 Di da ninia Gode! Dia fi dunu Isala: ili da amo soge ganodini golili daloba, Di da guiguda: esalebe fi dunu amo sefasili, amo soge dia na: iyado A: ibalaha: me egaga fi dunu, ilia eso huluane amoga esaloma: ne, ilima i.
Our God, didn't you drive out before your people Israel those who living in this land? Didn't you give this land to the descendants of your friend Abraham forever?
8 Ilia da amogawi esalu, Dima nodomusa: , Debolo Diasu gagui.
They are living in the land and have built a Temple for you here to honor you, saying,
9 Ilia da dawa: i dagoi - gugunufinisisu da ilima se imunusa: doaga: sea - gegesu, olo bagade, ha: bagade, - ilia da amo Dima nodone sia: ne gadomusa: gagui Debolo Diasu midadi leluwane, Dima ili fidima: ne sia: ne gadoloba, Dia da ili sia: ne gadosu naba: loba amola ili gaga: la: loba.
‘If disaster strikes us, whether it's invasion or judgment, disease or famine, we will stand in front of this Temple and before you, for this Temple is yours. We will cry out to you to help us in our suffering, and you will hear us and save us.’
10 Be wali A: mone amola Moua: be amola Idome fi dunu da nini doagala: i dagoi. Ninia aowalali da Idibidi fisili, ga ahoanoba, Di da ilia soge ganodini mae masa: ne sia: i. Amaiba: le, ninia aowalali da ilia soge sisale, ili hame gugunufinisi.
Look, here come the armies of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, those very countries you did not let Israel invade when they came out of Egypt. Israel left them alone and did not destroy them.
11 Be wali ili da ninima agoane dabesa. Ilia da soge amo Dia ninima i, amoga nini sefasimusa: misi.
See how they're rewarding us, coming to steal the land you gave us to possess forever!
12 Dia da ninia Gode! Se iasu bagade ilima ima! Bai ninia da amo dadi gagui wa: i bagade ilima gegemu hamedei ba: sa. Ninia adi hamoma: beyale hamedafa dawa: Be ninia Dia fidisu hogosa.”
Our God, won't you punish them, because we don't have the power to confront such a great army that is marching against us? We don't know what to do. We're looking to you for help.”
13 Yuda dunu, ilia uda amola mano, ilia huluane da Debolo Diasu ganodini lefulubi ba: i.
All the men of Judah stood before the Lord, together with their wives and children and babies.
14 Hina Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa da Lifai dunu afae gilisisu ganodini esalu. ema aligila sa: i. Ea dio da Yaha: isiele, Segalaia egefe. E da A: isa: fe egaga fi dunu amola ea fifi mabe da A: isa: fe, Ma: danaia, Yiaiele amola Bina: ia.
Then the Spirit of the Lord came over Jahaziel while he was standing there in the assembly. He was the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite from the descendants of Asaph.
15 Yaha: isiele da amane sia: i, “Hina bagade! Amola Yuda amola Yelusaleme fi dunu huluane! Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, ‘Dilia mae beda: ma amola mae da: i dioma! Amo dadi gagui wa: i bagade ilima gegemu mae beda: ma!’ Hina Gode Hi fawane da gegesu ouligimu. Dilia hame!
He said, “Listen, everyone from Judah, people of Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat. This is what the Lord has to say to you: Don't be afraid or discouraged because of this large army. This isn't your battle—it's God's!
16 Aya, ilia da Sisi adobo gigadofa ahoasu amoga heda: sea, ili doagala: ma. Dilia da fago dibi amo da wadela: i hafoga: i soge Yiliuele moilai gadenene dialu, amogawi ilima wa: i disimu.
Tomorrow march down to face them. You will see them coming up the pass at Ziz—you'll find them at the end of the valley in front of the desert of Jeruel.
17 Dilia da amo gegesu hame hamomu. Udigili dadalele ouesalumu. Amasea, dilia da Hina Gode dilima hasalasu iabe ba: mu. Yuda amola Yelusaleme fi dunu! Mae gigiluma amola mae beda: ma! Gegemusa: masa! Amola Hina Gode dili esaloma!”
But you do not need to fight this battle. Just stand still and watch the Lord's victory. He is with you, Judah and Jerusalem! Don't be afraid or discouraged! March down to face them, for the Lord is with you!”
18 Amalalu, hina bagade Yihosiafa: de da osoboga beguduli mi bugila sa: i. Amola dunu huluane da e gilisili beguduli, Hina Godema nodoi.
Jehoshaphat bowed down with his face to the ground, and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem fell to the ground before the Lord, worshiping him.
19 Lifai fi sosogo amo Gouha: de amola Goula, amo dunu da wa: legadole, ha: giwane Isala: ili Hina Godema nodone wele sia: i.
Then the Levites from the Kohathites and Korahites stood to praise the Lord, the God of Israel, shouting loudly.
20 Hahabedafa, dunu huluane da wadela: i soge Degoua moilai gadenene dialu, amoga asi. Ilia da muni ahoanoba, Yihosiafa: de da ilima amane sia: i, “Yuda amola Yelusaleme fi dunu! Dilia da dilia Hina Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: sea, gasawane lelumu. Dilia Ea balofede dunu ilia sia: ne iasu dafawaneyale dawa: sea, didili hamomu.
They got up early the next morning and went to the desert of Tekoa. As they left, Jehoshaphat stood up and said, “Listen to me, people of Judah and Jerusalem. Trust in the Lord your God, and you will be vindicated; trust in his prophets, and you will be successful.”
21 Yihosiafa: de da dunu huluane ilia fada: i sia: nababeba: le, e da gesami hea: lala dusu dunuma, ilia abula amo da hadigi esoga ga: sa, amo ga: sili, dadi gagui wa: i bisili mogodigili, agoane gesami hea: ma: ne sia: i, ‘Hina Godema nodoma! Bai Ea asigidafa hou da mae fisili, eso huluane dialumu.
After discussion with the people, he appointed singers to praise the Lord for his glorious, holy goodness. They led the way at the front of the army, singing, “Praise the Lord, for his trustworthy love lasts forever!”
22 Ilia da muni gesami hea: lalu, Hina Gode Ea hamobeba: le, ilima doagala: mu dunu da beda: gia: i.
As soon as they started singing and praising, the Lord ambushed the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir who were coming to attack Judah, and they were defeated.
23 A: mone amola Moua: be fi dunu da Idome dadi gagui wa: i ilima doagala: le, dafawane gugunufinisi dagoi. Amalalu, A:mone amola Moua: be fi ilia sinidigili, ili gobele nimiwane gegei.
The men of Ammon and Moab turned on the men from Mount Seir, killing all of them. Once they'd finished wiping out the army from Seir, they turned on each other, destroying themselves.
24 Yuda dadi gagui wa: i dunu da diasu gado gagagula heda: i, hafoga: i soge ganodini dialu, amoga doaga: loba, ilia ha lai ilima ba: loba, dunu huluane osoboga bogoi dialebe ba: i. Dunu afae hame bogoi esalebe hamedafa ba: i.
So when the men of Judah came to the watchtower in the desert, they looked out to see the enemy army and all they saw were corpses lying on the ground! No one had escaped.
25 Yihosiafa: de da liligi sugumusa: doaga: loba, ilia da bulamagau bagohame, gegesu liligi, abula amola eno noga: idafa liligi dialebe ba: i. Ilia da eso udianaga, amo liligi sugumusa: esalu. Be liligi bagohameba: le, huluane lidimu hamedei ba: i.
When Jehoshaphat and his people came to collect the plunder, they found a great deal of cattle, equipment, clothing, and other valuable articles, more than they could carry. It took three days to collect the plunder because there was so much of it.
26 Eso biyaduga, ilia da Belaga Fago amoga Hina Gode Ea hamobeba: le, Ema nodomusa: gilisi. Amaiba: le, ilia amo fagoga” Belaga “(nodosu) dio asuli.
On the fourth day they gathered in the Valley of Blessing. They gave it this name because this was where they blessed the Lord. It is still called the Valley of Blessing to this day.
27 Yihosiafa: de da ea dadi gagui wa: i hahawane Yelusalemega oule asi. Bai Hina Gode da ilima ha lai dunu hasasali dagoi.
Then all the men of Judah and Jerusalem celebrated as they returned to Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat leading them, full of joy for the Lord's victory over their enemies.
28 Ilia da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega doaga: loba, ilia da Debolo Diasuga mogodigili ahoanoba, gesami hea: lala dusu dunu da sani baidama dunanu amola dalabede fulabolalu.
They entered Jerusalem and went straight to the Temple of Lord, accompanied by music from harps, lyres, and trumpets.
29 Fifi asi gala huluane amo da Hina Gode da Isala: ili ha lai dunu hasasali dagoi, amo nabaloba, ilia bagadewane bedagia: i.
All the kingdoms around were in awe of God when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel.
30 Amaiba: le, Yihosiafa: de da olofoiwane Isala: ili soge ouligi. Amola Gode da ea soge la: idi la: idi gaga: i dagoi.
Jehoshaphat and his kingdom were at peace, for God gave him rest—there were no attacks from any direction.
31 Yihosiafa: de da lalelegele, ode 35 esalu, e da muni Yuda hina bagade hamoi, amola e da ode 25 agoanega Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega esalu, Yuda soge fi ouligilalu. Ea: me da Asiuba (Siailihai idiwi)
So Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah, having become king when he was thirty-five years, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother's name was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.
32 Ea eda A: isa da ea bisili hamoi defele, e da Hina Gode hahawane ba: ma: ne, moloidafa hou hamoi.
Jehoshaphat followed the way of his father Asa and did not turn away from it. He did what was right in the Lord's sight.
33 Be ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima nodone sia: ne gadosu sogebi da hame gugunufinisi ba: i, amola Yuda dunu ilia asigi dawa: su amola gasa huluane amoga, ilia aowalalia Hina Godema hame bu sinidigi.
However, the high places were not removed, and the people were not committed to the God of their forefathers.
34 Yihosiafa: de ea hou eno huluane, ea muni ouligisu hou amola dagosu ouligisu hou, amo huluane da “Yihiu, Hana: inai egefe ea Hamonana Meloa”, buga eno amo “Yuda hina bagade ilia Hamonanu Meloa”, ea la: idiga dedei, amo ganodini dedene legei.
The rest of what Jehoshaphat did, from beginning to end, is written down in the chronicles of Jehu, son of Hanani, recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel.
35 Eso afaega, Yuda hina bagade Yihosiafa: de da wadela: i hamosu Isala: ili hina bagade A: ihasaiama madelai.
Later in his life, Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, allied himself with Ahaziah, king of Israel, who did wicked things.
36 Ela da gilisili, hano wayabo bagade bega: moilai Isionegiba, amoga hano wayabo bagade da: iya foga mini masa: ne dusagai gilisi hamoi.
They agreed to work together and send ships to Tarshish. The ships were built in Ezion-geber.
37 Be Elaisa (Doudafa egefe. E da Malisia moilai bai bagadega misi) da Yihosiafa: dema amane sisane sia: i, “Di da A: ihasaiama madelaiba: le, Hina Gode da dia hamoi liligi gugunufinisimu.” Amalalu, amo dusagai huluane da mugului dagoiba: le, foga hamedafa mini asi.
But Eliezer, son of Dodavahu of Mareshah, prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have made an alliance with Ahaziah, the Lord will destroy what you're doing.” The ships were wrecked and couldn't sail to Tarshish.
