2 Chronicles 20
1 Now after this, the children of Moab and the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Meunim, made war against Jehoshaphat.
Lẹ́yìn èyí, àwọn ọmọ Moabu àti àwọn ọmọ Ammoni àti díẹ̀ nínú àwọn ọmọ Mehuni wá láti gbé ogun ti Jehoṣafati.
2 And they came to Jehoshaphat with the news, saying, A great army is moving against you from Edom across the sea; and now they are in Hazazon-tamar (which is En-gedi).
Àwọn díẹ̀ nínú àwọn ọkùnrin wá láti sọ fún Jehoṣafati, “Àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ ọ̀wọ́ ogun ń bọ̀ wá bá ọ láti apá kejì Òkun láti Siria. Ó ti wà ní Hasason Tamari náà” (èyí tí í ṣe En-Gedi).
3 Then Jehoshaphat, in his fear, went to the Lord for directions, and gave orders all through Judah for the people to go without food.
Nípa ìró ìdágìrì, Jehoṣafati pinnu láti wádìí lọ́wọ́ Olúwa, ó sì kéde àwẹ̀ kíákíá fún gbogbo Juda.
4 And Judah came together to make prayer for help from the Lord; from every town of Judah they came to give worship to the Lord.
Àwọn ènìyàn Juda sì kó ara wọn jọ pọ̀ láti wá ìrànlọ́wọ́ láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa; pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú, wọ́n wá láti gbogbo ìlú ní Juda láti wá a.
5 And Jehoshaphat took his place in the meeting of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord in front of the new open space,
Nígbà náà Jehoṣafati dìde dúró níwájú àpéjọ Juda àti Jerusalẹmu ní ilé Olúwa níwájú àgbàlá tuntun.
6 And said, O Lord, the God of our fathers, are you not God in heaven? are you not ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? and in your hands are power and strength so that no one is able to keep his place against you.
O sì wí pé, “Olúwa, Ọlọ́run àwọn baba wa, ìwọ kì ha ṣe Ọlọ́run tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run? Ìwọ ń ṣe alákòóso lórí gbogbo ìjọba àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè. Agbára àti ipá ń bẹ ní ọwọ́ rẹ, kò sì sí ẹnìkan tí ó lè kò ọ́ lójú.
7 Did you not, O Lord our God, after driving out the people of this land before your people Israel, give it to the seed of Abraham, your friend, for ever?
Ìwọ ha kọ́ Ọlọ́run wa, tí o ti lé àwọn olùgbé ilẹ̀ yìí jáde níwájú àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli, tí o sì fi fún irú-ọmọ Abrahamu ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ láéláé?
8 And they made it their living-place, building there a holy house for your name, and saying,
Wọ́n ti ń gbé nínú rẹ̀ wọ́n sì ti kọ́ sínú rẹ ibi mímọ́ fún orúkọ rẹ wí pé,
9 If evil comes on us, the sword, or punishment, or disease, or need of food, we will come to this house and to you, (for your name is in this house, ) crying to you in our trouble, and you will give us salvation in answer to our cry.
‘Tí ibi bá wá sí orí wa, bóyá idà ìjìyà tàbí àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn àwọn yóò dúró níwájú rẹ níwájú ilé yìí tí ń jẹ́ orúkọ rẹ, àwa yóò sì sọkún jáde, ìwọ yóò sì gbọ́ wa. Ìwọ yóò sì gbà wá là?’
10 And now, see, the children of Ammon and Moab and the people of Mount Seir, whom you kept Israel from attacking when they came out of Egypt, so that turning to one side they did not send destruction on them:
“Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, àwọn ọkùnrin nìyí láti Ammoni, Moabu àti òkè Seiri, agbègbè ibi ti ìwọ kò ti gba àwọn ọmọ Israẹli láyè láti gbóguntì nígbà tí wọn wá láti Ejibiti, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n yípadà kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ wọn, wọn kò sì pa wọ́n run.
11 See now, how as our reward they have come to send us out of your land which you have given us as our heritage.
Sì kíyèsi i, bí wọ́n ti san án padà fún wa; láti wá lé wa jáde kúrò nínú ìní rẹ, tí ìwọ ti fi fún wa láti ní.
12 O our God, will you not be their judge? for our strength is not equal to this great army which is coming against us; and we are at a loss what to do: but our eyes are on you.
Ọlọ́run wa, ṣé ìwọ kò ní ṣe ìdájọ́ fún wọn? Nítorí àwa kò ní agbára láti dojúkọ àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ ogun ńlá yìí tí ń bọ̀ wá kó wa. Àwa kò mọ̀ ohun tó yẹ ká ṣe, ṣùgbọ́n ojú wa wà ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ.”
13 And all Judah were waiting before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
Gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Juda, pẹ̀lú àwọn aya wọn àti ọmọ wọn àti àwọn kéékèèké, dúró níbẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa.
14 Then, before all the meeting, the spirit of the Lord came on Jahaziel, the son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, a Levite and one of the family of Asaph;
Nígbà náà, ẹ̀mí Olúwa sì bà lé Jahasieli ọmọ Sekariah, ọmọ Benaiah, ọmọ Jeieli, ọmọ Mattaniah ọmọ Lefi àti ọmọ Asafu, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ṣe dìde dúró láàrín àpéjọ ènìyàn.
15 And he said, Give ear, O Judah, and you people of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat: the Lord says to you, Have no fear and do not be troubled on account of this great army; for the fight is not yours but God's.
Ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ tẹ́tí sílẹ̀, ọba Jehoṣafati àti gbogbo àwọn tí ń gbé ní Juda àti Jerusalẹmu! Èyí ní ohun tí Olúwa sọ wí pé kí a ṣe: ‘Ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù tàbí fòyà nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ ogun ńlá yìí. Nítorí ogun náà kì í ṣe tiyín, ṣùgbọ́n ti Ọlọ́run ni.
16 Go down against them tomorrow: see, they are coming up by the slope of Ziz; at the end of the valley, before the waste land of Jeruel, you will come face to face with them.
Ní ọ̀la, ẹ sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ̀ wọ́n lọ, wọn yóò gòkè pẹ̀lú, ẹ̀yin yóò sì rí wọn ní ìpẹ̀kun odò náà, níwájú aginjù Jerueli.
17 There will be no need for you to take up arms in this fight; put yourselves in position, and keep where you are, and you will see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: have no fear and do not be troubled: go out against them tomorrow, for the Lord is with you.
Ẹ̀yin kò ní láti bá ogun yìí jà. ẹ dúró ní ààyè yín; ẹ dúró jẹ́ẹ́ kí ẹ sì rí ìgbàlà Olúwa tí yóò fi fún yín, ìwọ Juda àti Jerusalẹmu. Ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù; ẹ má sì ṣe fòyà. Ẹ jáde lọ láti lọ dojúkọ wọ́n ní ọ̀la, Olúwa yóò sì wà pẹ̀lú yín.’”
18 Then Jehoshaphat went down with his face to the earth, and all Judah and the people of Jerusalem gave worship to the Lord, falling down before him.
Jehoṣafati tẹ orí rẹ̀ ba sílẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ojú rẹ̀, àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Juda àti Jerusalẹmu wólẹ̀ níwájú láti sin Olúwa.
19 And the Levites, the children of the Kohathites and the Korahites, got to their feet and gave praise to the Lord, the God of Israel, with a loud voice.
Nígbà náà díẹ̀ lára àwọn ọmọ Lefi àti àwọn ọmọ Kohati àti àwọn ọmọ Kora sì dìde dúró wọ́n sì sin Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, pẹ̀lú ohùn ariwo ńlá.
20 And early in the morning they got up and went out to the waste land of Tekoa: and when they were going out, Jehoshaphat took his station and said to them, Give ear to me, O Judah and you people of Jerusalem: have faith in the Lord your God and you will be safe; have faith in his prophets and all will go well for you.
Ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù wọ́n jáde lọ sí aginjù Tekoa. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ti ń jáde lọ, Jehoṣafati dìde dúró ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ gbọ́ mi, Juda àti ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu! Ẹ ní ìgbàgbọ́ nínú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ẹ̀yin yóò sì borí, ẹ ní ìgbàgbọ́ nínú àwọn wòlíì rẹ̀ ẹ̀yìn yóò sì ṣe rere.”
21 And after discussion with the people, he put in their places those who were to make melody to the Lord, praising him in holy robes, while they went at the head of the army, and saying, May the Lord be praised, for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó bá àwọn ènìyàn náà gbèrò tán, Jehoṣafati yàn wọ́n láti kọrin sí Olúwa àti láti fi ìyìn fún ẹwà ìwà mímọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó tì ń jáde lọ sí iwájú ogun ńlá náà, wí pé, “Ẹ fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa, nítorí àánú rẹ̀ dúró títí láéláé.”
22 And at the first notes of song and praise the Lord sent a surprise attack against the children of Ammon and Moab and the people of Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were overcome.
Bí wọ́n ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí kọrin àti ìyìn, Olúwa rán ogun ẹ̀yìn sí àwọn ọkùnrin Ammoni àti Moabu àti òkè Seiri tí ó ń gbógun ti Juda, wọ́n sì kọlù wọ́n.
23 And the children of Ammon and Moab made an attack on the people of Mount Seir with a view to their complete destruction; and when they had put an end to the people of Seir, everyman's hand was turned against his neighbour for his destruction.
Àwọn ọkùnrin Ammoni àti Moabu dìde dúró sí àwọn ọkùnrin tí ń gbé òkè Seiri láti pa wọ́n run túútúú. Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n sì ti pa àwọn ọkùnrin láti òkè Seiri, wọ́n sì ran ra wọn lọ́wọ́ láti pa ara wọn run.
24 And Judah came to the watchtower of the waste land, and looking in the direction of the army, they saw only dead bodies stretched on the earth; no living man was to be seen.
Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn Juda jáde sí ìhà ilé ìṣọ́ ní aginjù, wọn ń wo àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn, òkú nìkan ni wọ́n rí tí ó ṣubú sí ilẹ̀, kò sì sí ẹnìkan tí ó rí ààyè sá.
25 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their goods from them, they saw beasts in great numbers, and wealth and clothing and things of value, more than they were able to take away; all this they took for themselves, and they were three days getting it away, there was so much.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Jehoṣafati àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ lọ láti kó ìkógun wọn, wọ́n sì rí lára wọn ọ̀pọ̀ iyebíye ọrọ̀ púpọ̀, ó sì ju èyí tí wọ́n lè kó lọ. Ọ̀pọ̀ ìkógun sì wà níbẹ̀, èyí tí ó gbà wọ́n ní ọjọ́ mẹ́ta láti gbà pọ̀.
26 On the fourth day they all came together in the Valley of Blessing, and there they gave blessing to the Lord; for which cause that place has been named the Valley of Blessing to this day.
Ní ọjọ́ kẹrin, wọn kó ara jọ pọ̀ ní àfonífojì ìbùkún, níbi tí wọ́n ti ń fi ìbùkún fún Olúwa. Ìdí nìyí tí wọ́n fi ń pe ibẹ̀ ní àfonífojì ìbùkún títí di òní.
27 Then all the men of Judah and Jerusalem went back, with Jehoshaphat at their head, coming back to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had made them glad over their haters.
Nígbà náà wọ́n darí pẹ̀lú Jehoṣafati, gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Juda àti Jerusalẹmu padà pẹ̀lú ayọ̀ sí Jerusalẹmu, nítorí Olúwa ti fún wọn ní ìdí láti yọ̀ lórí àwọn ọ̀tá wọn.
28 So they came to Jerusalem with corded instruments and wind-instruments into the house of the Lord.
Wọ́n sì wọ Jerusalẹmu, wọ́n sì lọ sí ilé Olúwa pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin olókùn àti dùùrù àti ìpè.
29 And the fear of God came on all the kingdoms of the lands, when they had news of how the Lord made war on those who came against Israel.
Ìbẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run wá si orí gbogbo ìjọba ilẹ̀ náà nígbà tí wọ́n gbọ́ bí Olúwa ti bá àwọn ọ̀tá Israẹli jà.
30 So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for the Lord gave him rest on every side.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìjọba Jehoṣafati sì wà ní àlàáfíà, nítorí Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ ti fún un ni ìsinmi ní gbogbo àyíká.
31 And Jehoshaphat was king over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling for twenty-five years in Jerusalem: his mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
Báyìí ni Jehoṣafati jẹ ọba lórí Juda. Ó sì jẹ́ ẹni ọdún márùndínlógójì. Nígbà tí ó di ọba Juda, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n. Orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ sì ni Asuba ọmọbìnrin Silihi.
32 He went in the ways of his father Asa, not turning away, but doing right in the eyes of the Lord.
Ó sì rin ọ̀nà baba rẹ̀ Asa kò sì yà kúrò nínú rẹ̀, ó sì ṣe èyí tí ó tọ́ ní ojú Olúwa.
33 The high places, however, were not taken away, and the hearts of the people were still not true to the God of their fathers.
Ní ibi gíga, pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú, kò mu wọn kúrò, gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà kò sì fi ọkàn wọn fún Ọlọ́run àwọn baba wọn.
34 Now as for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, they are recorded in the words of Jehu, the son of Hanani, which were put in the book of the kings of Israel.
Ìyókù iṣẹ́ ìjọba Jehoṣafati, láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ títí dé òpin, ni a kọ sí inú ìwé ìtàn ti Jehu ọmọ Hanani, tí a kọ sí inú ìwé àwọn ọba Israẹli.
35 After this Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became friends with Ahaziah, king of Israel, who did much evil:
Nígbà tí ó yá, Jehoṣafati ọba Juda da ara rẹ̀ pọ̀ pẹ̀lú Ahasiah, ọba Israẹli, ẹni tí ó jẹ̀bi ìwà búburú.
36 Together they made ships to go to Tarshish, building them in Ezion-geber.
Ó sì gbà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ láti kan ọkọ̀ láti lọ sí Tarṣiṣi, lẹ́yìn èyí wọ́n kan ọkọ̀ ní Esioni-Geberi.
37 Then the word of Eliezer the prophet, the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah, came against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you have let yourself be joined with Ahaziah, the Lord has sent destruction on your works. And the ships were broken and were not able to go to Tarshish.
Elieseri ọmọ Dodafahu ti Meraṣa sọtẹ́lẹ̀ sí Jehoṣafati, wí pe, “Nítorí tí ìwọ ti da ara rẹ̀ pọ̀ mọ́ Ahasiah, Olúwa yóò pa ohun ti ìwọ ti ṣe run.” Àwọn ọkọ̀ náà sì fọ́, wọn kò sì le lọ sí ibi ìtajà.
