2 Chronicles 20
1 Then, after this, the Moabites and Ammonites, as well as some of the Meunites, came to attack Jehoshaphat.
Hathnukkhu, Moabnaw hoi Ammonnaw, hothloilah tami alouknaw hoi Jehoshaphat tuk hanelah a tho awh.
2 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).
Taminaw a tho teh Jehosaphat koevah, nang tuk hanelah tamihupui tuipui namran Siria lahoi a tho. Khenhaw! Hazezontamar vah ao awh, (hot teh Engedi doeh) telah atipouh awh.
3 Jehoshaphat was afraid, and went to ask the Lord what to do. He also ordered everyone throughout Judah to fast.
Jehoshaphat ni a taki teh BAWIPA tawng hanelah a kâpoe. Judah ram pueng dawk rawcahai hanelah a pathang.
4 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.
Hottelah Judahnaw ni BAWIPA kabawpnae tawng hanelah a kamkhueng awh teh, Judah kho tangkuem lahoi BAWIPA tawng hanelah a tho awh.
5 Jehoshaphat stood before the assembled people of Judah and Jerusalem at the Temple, in front of the new courtyard,
Jehoshaphat teh BAWIPA e im thongma katha hmalah, Judahnaw hoi Jerusalem kamkhuengnaw e hmalah a kangdue teh,
6 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!
Oe mintoenaw e Cathut Jehovah, nang teh kalvan kaawm e Cathut nahoehmaw, miphun tangkuem e uknaeram pueng ka uk e nahoehmaw. Na kut dawk hnotithainae hoi bahu ao teh, apinihai khang thai hoeh.
7 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?
Nang teh kaimae Cathut lah na o. Na tami Isarelnaw hete ram dawk a tho navah, hete ram dawk kaawm e alouke miphunnaw na takhoe teh, na hui Abraham e catounnaw koe hete ram teh, yungyoe e ram lah o hanelah na poe nahoehmaw.
8 They are living in the land and have built a Temple for you here to honor you, saying,
Athung vah kho a sak awh teh, athung vah nang hane hoi na min hanelah hmuen kathoung a sak awh.
9 ‘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.’
Kaimouh koevah hawihoehnae, tahloi, lawkcengnae, lacik hoi takang a tho navah, hete im hoi na hmalah ka kangdue awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nange na min teh hete im dawk ao. Ka temdeng navah nang koe ka hram awh vaiteh, nang ni na thai pouh vaiteh na rungngang han.
10 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.
Khenhaw! Ammon, Moab hoi Seir mon dawk e taminaw, Izip ram dawk hoi a tâco awh navah, Isarelnaw ni tuk hanelah na pasoung hoeh niteh, a ban takhai e taminaw ni,
11 See how they're rewarding us, coming to steal the land you gave us to possess forever!
coe hanelah na poe e ram thung hoi pâlei teh moipathung hanelah a noe awh e na thai pouh haw.
12 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.”
Oe kaimae Cathut, ahnimouh koe lawk na ceng mahoeh maw. Kaimouh tuk hanelah ka tho e hete taminaw heh ka ngang thai awh mahoeh. Bangtelamaw ti han ka panuek awh hoeh. Nang dueng doeh na khet awh telah a ratoum.
13 All the men of Judah stood before the Lord, together with their wives and children and babies.
Judahnaw abuemlah camo, yu, canaw hoi BAWIPA hmalah a kangdue awh.
14 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.
Hat torei teh, tamimaya rahak kaawm e Jahziel koevah, BAWIPA e Muitha teh a tho. Ahni teh Zekhariah e capa doeh. Zekhariah teh Benaiah e capa doeh. Benaiah teh Jeiel e capa doeh. Jeiel teh Mattaniah e capa doeh. Mattaniah teh Levih miphun Asaph e catoun doeh.
15 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!
Ahni ni Judahnaw abuemlah, Jerusalem kaawm e abuemlah hoi siangpahrang Jehoshaphat nangmanaw ni thai awh haw, BAWIPA ni nangmouh koe telah lawk a dei, taket hanh awh. Na lungpout hanh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tarantuknae teh nangmae nahoeh, BAWIPA e doeh.
16 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.
Tangtho vah tuk awh. Khenhaw! Ziz kho dawk luennae lam dawk hoi a tho awh navah, Jeruel kahrawng teng, thingyei apoutnae koe na kâhmo awh han.
17 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!”
Hete taran teh nangmouh ni na tuk ngai mahoeh. Kacaklah kangdout awh. Nangmouh koe kaawm e BAWIPA e rungngangnae ma hah khen awh. Oe Judahnaw hoi Jerusalem e taminaw, taket hanh awh, na lungpout hanh awh. Tangtho vah tuk hanelah tho awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA teh nangmouh koe ao telah atipouh.
18 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.
Hottelah Jehoshaphat teh minhmai talai dawk kâbet lah a tabo teh, Judahnaw abuemlah hoi Jerusalem e taminaw abuemlah BAWIPA e hmalah a tabo awh teh, BAWIPA a bawk awh.
19 Then the Levites from the Kohathites and Korahites stood to praise the Lord, the God of Israel, shouting loudly.
Levih miphun Kohath catounnaw hoi Korah catounnaw teh kacaipounglah BAWIPA Cathut pholen hanelah a kangdue awh.
20 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.”
Tangtho amom vah a thaw awh. Tekoa kahrawngum vah a cei awh. A cei laihoi Jehoshaphat a kangdue teh, Oe Judahnaw hoi Jerusalem e taminaw, ka lawk thai awh haw. Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut hah yuem awh haw, caksak lah na o awh han. Profetnaw yuem awh haw tânae na hmu awh han, telah atipouh.
21 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!”
Taminaw pueng lawk a thui hnukkhu, ransanaw hmalah a cei laihoi BAWIPA pholennae la hoi thoungnae la ka sak hanelah a pouk awh. BAWIPA pholen awh, bangkongtetpawiteh a lungmanae teh a yungyoe a kangning, telah sak awh atipouh.
22 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.
La saknae hoi pholennae a kamtawng navah, Judah taranlahoi ka tho e Ammon, Moab hoi Seir mon e taminaw BAWIPA ni a sung sak.
23 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.
Ammonnaw hoi Moabnaw ni Seir mon dawk kaawm e taminaw thei hane hoi raphoe hanelah a taran awh. Seir mon dawk e taminaw koung a raphoe hnukkhu, amamouh hoi amamanaw kâtuk hanelah bout a kamtawng awh.
24 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.
Judahnaw kahrawngum ramvengim a pha awh navah, taminaw koelah a kangvawi awh teh, khenhaw! tamiro teh talai dawk petkâkahai, ka yawng e buet touh boehai awm hoeh.
25 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.
Hottelah Jehoshaphat hoi a taminaw ni hnopai a ceitakhai awh e la hanelah a cei awh. Ahnimouh koe e hnopai, khohna hoi talung aphu kaawm e moi a hmu awh. Phu thai hoeh totouh a la awh. Apap lawi a la awhnae koe hnin thum touh a ro awh.
26 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.
A hnin pali navah Berakah yawn dawk a kamkhueng awh. Hote hmuen koe BAWIPA a pholen awh. Hatdawkvah, atu totouh hote hmuen teh Berakah yawn telah ati awh.
27 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.
Hottelah tarannaw kong dawk BAWIPA ni lunghawinae a poe dawkvah, Jehoshaphat ni hma ahman teh, Jerusalem e taminaw hoi Judahnaw teh lunghawi laihoi Jerusalem khopui lah a ban awh.
28 They entered Jerusalem and went straight to the Temple of Lord, accompanied by music from harps, lyres, and trumpets.
Hahoi tamawi, ratoung hoi mongka tumkhawng laihoi Jerusalem BAWIPA im dawk a pha awh.
29 All the kingdoms around were in awe of God when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel.
BAWIPA ni Isarel ka taran e naw a tuk tie a thai awh navah, uknaeram tangkuem kaawm e taminaw ni Cathut a taki awh.
30 Jehoshaphat and his kingdom were at peace, for God gave him rest—there were no attacks from any direction.
Hottelah Jehoshaphat uknae teh karoumcalah ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, atengpam e taminaw koehoi BAWIPA ni roumnae a poe.
31 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.
Hottelah kum 35 navah, Jehoshaphat teh Judahnaw koe siangpahrang thaw tawknae a kamtawng teh Jerusalem vah kum 25 touh a bawi. A manu e min teh Silhi canu Azubah doeh.
32 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.
BAWIPA e hmaitung vah, hnokahawi a sak teh, a na pa Asa e lamthung phen laipalah a dawn.
33 However, the high places were not removed, and the people were not committed to the God of their forefathers.
Hatei hmuenrasangnaw a takhoe hoeh dawkvah, taminaw pueng ni mintoenaw e Cathut koe pouknae hrueng awh hoeh.
34 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.
Khenhaw! Jehoshaphat e a tawksaknae pueng teh, kamtawngnae koehoi apout totouh, Hanani capa Jehu kong thutnae dawk thut lah ao. Hottelah Isarel siangpahrangnaw e cauk dawk pakhum lah ao.
35 Later in his life, Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, allied himself with Ahaziah, king of Israel, who did wicked things.
Hathnukkhu Judah siangpahrang Jehoshaphat teh, Isarel siangpahrang Ahaziah hoi a kambawng roi, ahni ni hawihoehnae ouk a sak.
36 They agreed to work together and send ships to Tarshish. The ships were built in Ezion-geber.
Eziongeber vah Tarsis lah cei nahane lawng cungtalah rei a sak roi.
37 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.
Hatei, Moreshah tami Dodavah capa Eliezer ni Jehoshaphat koevah, Ahaziah hoi na kambawng roi dawkvah, BAWIPA ni sak han na noe e na raphoe pouh e doeh, telah atipouh. Hottelah lawng koung a raphoe pouh teh Tarsis lah cet thai hoe toe.
