2 Chronicles 20
1 And it came to pass after this [that] the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them certain of the Maonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
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 and told Jehoshaphat saying, A great multitude is come against thee from beyond the sea, from Syria; and behold, they are in Hazazon-tamar, which is Engedi.
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 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek Jehovah, and proclaimed a fast throughout Judah.
Nípa ìró ìdágìrì, Jehoṣafati pinnu láti wádìí lọ́wọ́ Olúwa, ó sì kéde àwẹ̀ kíákíá fún gbogbo Juda.
4 And Judah gathered themselves together to ask [help] of Jehovah: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek Jehovah.
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 stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Jehovah, before the new court;
Nígbà náà Jehoṣafati dìde dúró níwájú àpéjọ Juda àti Jerusalẹmu ní ilé Olúwa níwájú àgbàlá tuntun.
6 and he said, Jehovah, God of our fathers, art not thou God in the heavens, and rulest thou not over all the kingdoms of the nations? And in thy hand there is power and might, and none can withstand thee.
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 Hast not thou, our God, dispossessed the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and given it for ever to the seed of Abraham, thy friend?
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 have dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,
Wọ́n ti ń gbé nínú rẹ̀ wọ́n sì ti kọ́ sínú rẹ ibi mímọ́ fún orúkọ rẹ wí pé,
9 If evil come upon us, sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, and we stand before this house and before thee — for thy name is in this house — and cry unto thee in our distress, then thou wilt hear and save.
‘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, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab, and those of mount Seir, amongst whom thou wouldest not let Israel go when they came out of the land of Egypt, (for they turned from them, and destroyed them not, )
“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 behold, they reward us, in coming to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to possess.

12 Our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might in presence of this great company which cometh against us, neither know we what to do; but our eyes are upon thee.

13 And all Judah stood before Jehovah, with their little ones, their wives, and their sons.
Gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Juda, pẹ̀lú àwọn aya wọn àti ọmọ wọn àti àwọn kéékèèké, dúró níbẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa.
14 And upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, upon him came the Spirit of Jehovah, in the midst of the congregation;
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, Be attentive, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat! Thus saith Jehovah unto you: Fear not, nor be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle 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 To-morrow go down against them: behold, they come up by the ascent of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
Ní ọ̀la, ẹ sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ̀ wọ́n lọ, wọn yóò gòkè pẹ̀lú, ẹ̀yin yóò sì rí wọn ní ìpẹ̀kun odò náà, níwájú aginjù Jerueli.
17 Ye shall not have to fight on this occasion: set yourselves, stand and see the salvation of Jehovah [who is] with you! Judah and Jerusalem, fear not nor be dismayed; to-morrow go out against them, and Jehovah will be 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 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before Jehovah, worshipping Jehovah.
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, of the sons of the Kohathites, and of the sons of the Korahites, stood up to praise Jehovah the God of Israel with an exceeding 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 they rose early in the morning, and went forth towards the wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in Jehovah your God, and ye shall be established; believe his prophets, and ye shall prosper!
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 he consulted with the people, and appointed singers to Jehovah, and those that should praise in holy splendour, as they went forth before the armed men, and say, Give thanks to Jehovah; for his loving-kindness [endureth] 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 when they began the song of triumph and praise, Jehovah set liers-in-wait against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, who had come against Judah, and they were smitten.
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 stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, to exterminate and destroy [them]; and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.
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 on to the mountain-watch in the wilderness, and they looked toward the multitude; and behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none had escaped.
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 Jehoshaphat and his people came to plunder the spoil of them, and they found among them in abundance, both riches with the dead bodies, and precious things, and they stripped off for themselves more than they could carry away; and they were three days in plundering the spoil, it 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 And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah, for there they blessed Jehovah; therefore the name of that place was called The valley of Berachah, 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 And they returned, all the men of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat at their head, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for Jehovah had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
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 And they came to Jerusalem with lutes and harps and trumpets, to the house of Jehovah.
Wọ́n sì wọ Jerusalẹmu, wọ́n sì lọ sí ilé Olúwa pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin olókùn àti dùùrù àti ìpè.
29 And the terror of God was on all the kingdoms of the lands, when they had heard that Jehovah fought against the enemies of Israel.
Ìbẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run wá si orí gbogbo ìjọba ilẹ̀ náà nígbà tí wọ́n gbọ́ bí Olúwa ti bá àwọn ọ̀tá Israẹli jà.
30 And the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; and his God gave him rest round about.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìjọba Jehoṣafati sì wà ní àlàáfíà, nítorí Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ ti fún un ni ìsinmi ní gbogbo àyíká.
31 And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Azubah, 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 And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and turned not aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of Jehovah.
Ó sì rin ọ̀nà baba rẹ̀ Asa kò sì yà kúrò nínú rẹ̀, ó sì ṣe èyí tí ó tọ́ ní ojú Olúwa.
33 Only, the high places were not removed; and as yet the people had not directed their hearts 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 And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the words of Jehu the son of Hanani, which are inserted 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 And after this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly.
Nígbà tí ó yá, Jehoṣafati ọba Juda da ara rẹ̀ pọ̀ pẹ̀lú Ahasiah, ọba Israẹli, ẹni tí ó jẹ̀bi ìwà búburú.
36 And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish; and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.
Ó sì gbà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ láti kan ọkọ̀ láti lọ sí Tarṣiṣi, lẹ́yìn èyí wọ́n kan ọkọ̀ ní Esioni-Geberi.
37 And Eliezer the son of Dodavah, of Mareshah, prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, Jehovah has broken thy works. And the ships were broken, and could not 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.
