< Chronicles II 20 >

1 And after this came the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them [some] of the Minaeans, against Josaphat to battle.
In kutu pacl tok un mwet mweun lun acn Moab ac Ammon, wi mwet Meunim su welulosyang, elos tuku mweuni acn Judah.
2 And they came and told Josaphat, saying, There is come against thee a great multitude from Syria, from beyond the sea; and, behold, they are in Asasan Thamar, this is Engadi.
Oasr mwet utuk kas tuku ac fahk nu sel Tokosra Jehoshaphat, “Sie un mwet mweun lulap lun acn Edom tuku lafalyat ke Meoa Misa in mweuni kom. Elos sruokya tari acn Hazazon Tamar.” (Sie pac inen acn se ingan pa Engedi.)
3 And Josaphat was alarmed, and set his face to seek the Lord earnestly, and he proclaimed a fast in all Juda.
Jehoshaphat el sangeng, ac el pre nu sin LEUM GOD in suk kasru. Na el sap mwet in mutunfacl sac nufon in lalo.
4 And Juda gathered themselves together to seek after the Lord: even from all the cities of Juda they came to seek the Lord.
Mwet in siti nukewa lun Judah elos sulaklak tuku nu Jerusalem in siyuk kasru sin LEUM GOD.
5 And Josaphat stood up in the assembly of Juda in Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, in front of the new court.
Na mwet Jerusalem ac mwet nukewa tuku saya me elos tukeni nu ke acn in tukeni sasu oan likin Tempul. Tokosra Jehoshaphat el som tu ye mutalos,
6 And he said, O Lord God of my fathers, art not thou God in heaven above, and art not thou Lord of all the kingdoms of the nations? and [is there] not in thy hand the might of dominion, and there is no one who can resist thee?
ac el pre, “O LEUM GOD lun papa tumasr, kom muta inkusrao ac leum fin mutunfacl nukewa. Kom arulana fulat ac ku; ac wangin mwet ku in lain kom.
7 Art not thou the Lord that didst destroy the inhabitants of this land before the face of thy people Israel, and didst give it to thy beloved seed of Abraham for ever?
Kom God lasr. Ke mwet lom Israel tuku nu in acn se inge, kom lusla mwet su muta inge, ac sang acn uh nu sin fita lal Abraham, mwet kawuk lom, in ma lalos ma pahtpat.
8 And they dwelt in it, and built in it a sanctuary to thy name, saying,
Elos nuna muta inge ac musaela sie tempul in akfulatye kom, ke sripen elos etu
9 If there should come upon us evils, sword, judgment, pestilence, famine, we will stand before this house, and before thee, (for thy name [is] upon this house, ) and we will cry to thee because of the affliction, and thou shalt hear, and deliver.
lah fin oasr mwe lokoalok lulap sikyak nu selos — ke mweun, ku mas upa, ku sracl — na elos ac ku in tuku ac tu ke mutun Tempul se inge, yen mwet uh alu nu sum we. Elos ac pre nu sum ke mwe lokoalok sikyak nu selos, na kom ac porongalos ac molelosla.
10 And now, behold, the children of Ammon, and Moab, and mount Seir, with regard to whom thou didst not permit Israel to pass through their border, when they had come out of the land of Egypt, (for they turned away from them, and did not destroy them; )—
“Inge mwet Ammon, mwet Moab, ac mwet Edom elos mweuni kut. Ke pacl se papa tumasr elos ilme liki acn Egypt, kom tia lela elos in utyak nu in acn ingan. Na papa tumasr elos kuhfla liki acn selos inge, ac tia kunauselosla.
11 yet now, behold, they make attempts against us, to come forth to cast us out from our inheritance which thou gavest us.
Na inge elos folokin nu sesr ke ouiya se inge — elos tuku in liskutla liki acn se inge, su kom tuh ase nu sesr.
12 O Lord our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no strength to resist this great multitude that is come against us; and we know not what we shall do to them: but our eyes are toward thee.
Kom God lasr! Sang kai fal nu selos, mweyen kut tia ku in lain un mwet mweun na lulap se su mweuni kut inge. Kut tia etu lah mea kut ac oru, na pa kut nget nu sum in kasre kut.”
13 And all Juda was standing before the Lord, and their children, and their wives.
Mukul nukewa in acn Judah, wi mutan kialos ac tulik natulos, elos tu ke mutun Tempul.
14 And Oziel the [son] of Zacharias, of the children of Banaias, of the sons of Eleiel, the sons of Matthanias the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, —upon him came the Spirit of the Lord in the assembly:
Ngun lun LEUM GOD ilyak nu in sie mwet Levi su muta inmasrlon u lulap sac. Inel pa Jahaziel, wen natul Zechariah. El sie sin mwet in sou lal Asaph, mweyen el ma in fwil natul Mattaniah, Jeiel, ac Benaiah, su fita lal Asaph.
15 and he said, Hear ye, all Juda, and the dwellers in Jerusalem, and king Josaphat: Thus saith the Lord to you, even you, Fear not, neither be alarmed, before all this great multitude; for the battle is not years, but God's.
Jahaziel el fahk, “Leum Fulat, ac mwet nukewa lun Judah ac Jerusalem, LEUM GOD El fahk tuh kowos in tia fosrnga ku sangeng in lain un mwet mweun na pus se inge. Mweun uh oan inpoun God, ac tia inpouwos.
16 To-morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the ascent of Assis, and ye shall find them at the extremity of the river of the wilderness of Jeriel.
Mweunelos lutu, ke elos ac tuku ke Innek In Utyak Nu Ziz. Kowos ac sonolos ke saflaiyen infahlfal se ma fahla nwe uten acn ma oan apkuran nu Jeruel.
17 It is not for you to fight: understand these things, and see the deliverance of the Lord with you, Juda and Jerusalem: fear not, neither be afraid to go forth to-morrow to meet them; and the Lord shall be with you.
Kowos ac fah tia mweun ke mweun se inge. Akola na ac soano; kowos ac liye ke LEUM GOD El ac asot kutangla nu suwos. Mwet Judah ac mwet Jerusalem, kowos in tia alolo ku sangeng. Fahsrot na nu ke mweun an, ac LEUM GOD El ac wi kowos!”
18 And Josaphat bowed with his face [to the ground] with all Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem, [and] they fell before the Lord to worship the Lord.
Na Tokosra Jehoshaphat el srimi nwe ten ac mutal sun infohk ah, ac mwet nukewa welul srimi ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD.
19 And the Levites of the children of Caath, and [they] of the sons of Core, rose up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a loud voice on high.
Mwet Levi in sou lal Kohath ac Korah elos tuyak ac wola ke sie pusra lulap, ac kaksakin LEUM GOD lun Israel.
20 And they rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Thecoe: and as they went out, Josaphat stood and cried, and said, Hear me, Juda, and the dwellers in Jerusalem; put your trust in the Lord God, and your trust shall be honored; trust in his prophet, and ye shall prosper.
Toang na ke lotutang se tok ah, mwet uh som nu wut in acn apkuran nu Tekoa. Ke elos mukuiyak, Jehoshaphat el fahk kas inge nu selos: “Mwet Judah ac mwet Jerusalem, kowos filiya lulalfongi lowos in LEUM GOD lowos, ac kowos fah tiana mukuikui. Lulalfongi ma mwet palu lal an fahk nu suwos, na ac fah wo ouiya nu suwos.”
21 And he took counsel with the people, and set appointed men to sing psalms and praises, to give thanks, and sing the holy songs of praise in going forth before the host: and they said, Give thanks to the Lord, for his mercy [endures] for ever.
Tukun tokosra el pwapa yurin mwet uh, el sap kutu mwet on in nokomang nuknuk loeloes ma elos nukum ke pacl in akfulat lalos, ac fahsr meet liki mwet mweun, ac on, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD, tuh lungse lal oan ma pahtpat!”
22 And when they began the praise and thanksgiving, the Lord caused the children of Ammon to fight against Moab, and [the inhabitants of] mount Seir that came out against Juda; and they were routed.
Ke elos mutawauk in on, LEUM GOD El arulana akfohsyauk mwet mweun ma tuku in lainulos.
23 Then the children of Ammon and Moab rose up against the dwellers in mount Seir, to destroy and consume them; and when they had made an end of [destroying] the inhabitants of Seir, they rose up against one another so that they were utterly destroyed.
Mwet Ammon ac mwet Moab elos forang lain mwet Edom, ac onelosla nufon. Na elos forani amweuni inmasrlolos sifacna.
24 And Juda came to the watch-tower of the wilderness, and looked, and saw the multitude, and, behold, [they were] all fallen dead upon the earth, not one escaped.
Ke mwet mweun lun Judah elos sun sie tower su oan yen mwesis, elos ngetla nu yen mweun orek we ac liye tuh na mwet nukewa topelik infohk ah misa, ac wanginna sie selos kaingla.
25 And Josaphat and his people went out to spoil them, and they found much cattle, and furniture, and spoils, and precious things: and they spoiled them, and they were three days gathering the spoil, for it was abundant.
Jehoshaphat ac mwet lal ah fahsryak in eis ma wap, ac elos liye lah pukanten cow, mwe mongo, nuknuk, ac kutu pac ma yohk sripa. Elos sisla len tolu in orani ma wap, ac ke arulana pukanten elos tia ku in us nufon.
26 And it came to pass on the fourth day they were gathered to the Valley of Blessing; for there they blessed the Lord: therefore they called the name of the place the Valley of Blessing, until this day.
In len se akakosr, elos tukeni Infahlfal Beracah ac kaksakin LEUM GOD ke ma nukewa El orala. Pa inge sripa se sis pangpang infahlfal se inge “Beracah.”
27 And all the men of Juda returned to Jerusalem, and Josaphat led them with great joy; for the Lord gave them joy over their enemies.
Jehoshaphat el kol un mwet mweun lal ac folokla nu Jerusalem ke engan lulap, mweyen LEUM GOD El kutangla fin mwet lokoalok lalos.
28 And they entered into Jerusalem with lutes and harps and trumpets, [going] into the house of the lord.
Ke elos sun siti uh, elos alla na nwe ke Tempul, wi pusren on ke harp ac mwe ukuk.
29 And there was a terror of the Lord upon all the kingdoms of the land, when they heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel.
Mutunfacl nukewa su lohng ke LEUM GOD El kutangla mwet lokoalok lun mwet Israel, elos arulana sangeng.
30 And the kingdom of Josaphat was at peace; and his God gave him rest round about.
Ouinge Jehoshaphat el leum in misla, ac God El oru in oasr misla inmasrlol ac facl nukewa su apnulla.
31 And Josaphat reigned over Juda, being thirty-five years [old] when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Azuba, daughter of Sali.
Jehoshaphat el tokosrala fin acn Judah ke el yac tolngoul limekosr, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke lusen yac longoul limekosr. Inen nina kial ah pa Azubah, acn natul Shilhi.
32 And he walked in the ways of his father Asa, and turned not aside from doing that which was right in the sight of the Lord.
Jehoshaphat el oru ma suwohs ye mutun LEUM GOD, oana ke Asa, papa tumal, el oru.
33 nevertheless the high places yet remained; and as yet the people did not direct their heart to the Lord God of their fathers.
Tusruktu nien alu lun mwet pegan tiana kunausyukla. Mwet uh tiana forla ke insialos nufon in alu nu sin LEUM GOD lun papa tumalos.
34 And the rest of the acts of Josaphat, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the history of Jeu [the son] of Anani, who wrote the book of the kings of Israel.
Ma nukewa saya ma Jehoshaphat el oru, ke mutaweyen pacl el tokosra nwe ke safla, simla ke [Sramsram Matu lal Jehu Wen Natul Hanani, ] su oasr in [Sramsram Matu ke Tokosra lun Israel.]
35 And afterwards Josaphat king of Juda entered into an alliance with Ochozias king of Israel, (now this was an unrighteous man, )
Sie pacl ah Tokosra Jehoshaphat el orala sie pwapa in akupasri nu sel Ahaziah, tokosra lun acn Israel, su oru ma koluk na pus.
36 by acting [with] and going to him, to build ships to go to Tharsis: and he built ships in Gasion Gaber.
Eltal musaela oak in kalkal meoa ke nien oai in siti Eziongeber.
37 And Eliezer thee [son] of Dodia of Marisa prophesied against Josaphat, saying, Forasmuch as thou hast allied thyself with Ochozias, the Lord has broken thy work, and thy vessels have been wrecked. And they could not go to Tharsis.
Tusruktu Eliezer wen natul Dodavahu, sie mwet Mareshah, el sensenkakinul Jehoshaphat ac fahk, “Ke sripen kom kupasr nu sel Ahaziah, LEUM GOD El ac kunausla ma kom musaela.” Ouinge, oak inge nukewa musalla ac tiana orekmakinyuk.
