2 Chronicles 20
1 After this the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them of the Ammonites, were gathered together to fight against Josaphat.
In kutu pacl tok un mwet mweun lun acn Moab ac Ammon, wi mwet Meunim su welulosyang, elos tuku mweuni acn Judah.
2 And there came messengers, and told Josaphat, saying: There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea, and out of Syria, and behold they are in Asasonthamar, which is Engaddi.
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 being seized with fear betook himself wholly to pray to the Lord, and he proclaimed a fast for 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 pray to the Lord: and all came out of their cities to make supplication to him.
Mwet in siti nukewa lun Judah elos sulaklak tuku nu Jerusalem in siyuk kasru sin LEUM GOD.
5 And Josaphat stood in the midst of the assembly of Juda, and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord before 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 said: O Lord God of our fathers, thou art God in heaven, and rulest over all the kingdoms and nations, in thy hand is strength and power, and no one 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 Didst not thou our God kill all the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend 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 evils fall upon us, the sword of judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we will stand in thy presence before this house, in which thy name is called upon: and we will cry to thee in our afflictions, and thou wilt hear, and save us.
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 Now therefore behold the children of Ammon, and of Moab, and mount Seir, through whose lands thou didst not allow Israel to pass, when they came out of Egypt, but they turned aside from them, and slew them not,
“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 Do the contrary, and endeavour to cast us out of the possession which thou hast delivered to 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 our God, wilt thou not then judge them? as for us we have not strength enough, to be able to resist this multitude, which cometh violently upon us. But as we know not what to do, we can only turn our eyes to 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 stood before the Lord with their little ones, and their wives, and their children.
Mukul nukewa in acn Judah, wi mutan kialos ac tulik natulos, elos tu ke mutun Tempul.
14 And Jahaziel the son of Zacharias, the son of Banaias, the son of Jehiel, the son of Mathanias, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, was there, upon whom the spirit of the Lord came in the midst of the multitude,
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: Attend ye, all Juda, and you that dwell in Jerusalem, and thou king Josaphat: Thus saith the Lord to you: Fear ye not, and be not dismayed at this multitude: for the battle is not yours, 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 Tomorrow you shall go down against them: for they will come up by the ascent named Sis, and you shall find them at the head of the torrent, which is over against the wilderness of Jeruel.
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 shall not be you that shall fight, but only stand with confidence, and you shall see the help of the Lord over you, O Juda, and Jerusalem: fear ye not, nor be you dismayed: tomorrow you shall go out against them, and the Lord will 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 Then Josaphat, and Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell hat on the ground before the Lord, and adored him.
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 sons of Caath, and of the sons of Core praised the Lord the 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 through the desert of Thecua: and as they were marching, Josaphat standing in the midst of them, said: Hear me, ye men of Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be secure: believe his prophets, and all things shall succeed well.
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 gave counsel to the people, and appointed the singing men of the Lord, to praise him by their companies, and to go before the army, and with one voice to say: Give glory to the Lord, for his mercy endureth 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 to sing praises, the Lord turned their ambushments upon themselves, that is to say, of the children of Ammon, and of Moab, and of mount Seir, who were come out to fight against Juda, and they were slain.
Ke elos mutawauk in on, LEUM GOD El arulana akfohsyauk mwet mweun ma tuku in lainulos.
23 For the children of Ammon, and of Moab, rose up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, to kill and destroy them: and when they had made an end of them, they turned also against one another, and destroyed one another.
Mwet Ammon ac mwet Moab elos forang lain mwet Edom, ac onelosla nufon. Na elos forani amweuni inmasrlolos sifacna.
24 And when Juda came to the watch tower, that looketh toward the desert, they saw afar off all the country, for a great space, full of dead bodies, and that no one was left that could escape death.
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 Then Josaphat came, and all the people with him to take away the spoils of the dead, and they found among the dead bodies, stuff of various kinds, and garments, and most precious vessels: and they took them for themselves, insomuch that they could not carry all, nor in three days take away the spoils, the booty was so great.
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 on the fourth day they were assembled in the valley of Blessing: for there they blessed the Lord, and therefore they called that 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 every man of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem returned, and Josaphat at their head, into Jerusalem with great joy, because the Lord had made them rejoice 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 came into Jerusalem with psalteries, and harps, and trumpets 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 the fear of the Lord fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the Lord had 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 quiet, and God gave him peace 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, and he was five and thirty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned five and twenty years in Jerusalem: and the name of his mother was Azuba the daughter of Selahi.
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 way of his father Asa, and departed not from it, doing the things that were pleasing before the Lord.
Jehoshaphat el oru ma suwohs ye mutun LEUM GOD, oana ke Asa, papa tumal, el oru.
33 But yet he took not away the high places, and the people had not yet turned their heart to the Lord the 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 But the rest of the acts of Josaphat, first and last, are written in the words of Jehu the son of Hanani, which he digested into the books 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 After these things Josaphat king of Juda made friendship with Ochozias king of Israel, whose works were very wicked.
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 And he was partner with him in making ships, to go to Tharsis: and they made the ships in Asiongaber.
Eltal musaela oak in kalkal meoa ke nien oai in siti Eziongeber.
37 And Eliezer the son of Dodau of Maresa prophesied to Josaphat, saying: Because thou hast made a league with Ochozias, the Lord hath destroyed thy works, and the ships are broken, 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.
