2 Chronicles 20
1 Then, after this, the Moabites and Ammonites, as well as some of the Meunites, came to attack Jehoshaphat.
Kalpasan daytoy, immay a makigubat kenni Jehosafat dagiti tattao ti Moab ken Ammon agraman dagiti kakaduada a Meunita.
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).
Ket adda sumagmamano a nangipadamag kenni Jehosafat, a kunada, “Adda dakkel a bunggoy nga um-umay manipud iti ballasiw ti Natay a Baybay, manipud Aram tapno umaydaka rauten. Adtoy, addadan idiay Hazazontamar” (dayta ket, Engedi).
3 Jehoshaphat was afraid, and went to ask the Lord what to do. He also ordered everyone throughout Judah to fast.
Nagbuteng ni Jehosafat ket sipapasnek a binirokna ni Yahweh. Imbilinna ti panagayunar iti entero a Juda.
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.
Naguummong ti Juda tapno dawatenda ti pammagbaga ni Yahweh; immayda manipud kadagiti amin a siudad ti Juda tapno dawatenda ti pammagbaga ni Yahweh.
5 Jehoshaphat stood before the assembled people of Judah and Jerusalem at the Temple, in front of the new courtyard,
Timmakder ni Jehosafat iti taripnong ti Juda ken Jerusalem, iti balay ni Yahweh, iti sangoanan ti baro a paraangan.
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!
Kinunana, “O Yahweh a Dios dagiti kapuonanmi, saan kadi a sika ti Dios ti langit? Ken saan kadi a sika ti mangiturturay kadagiti amin a pagarian kadagiti nasion? Adda kadagita imam ti bileg ken pannakabalin, isu nga awan ti siasinoman a makabael a bumusor kenka.
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?
O Diosmi, saan kadi a pinapanawmo dagiti agnanaed iti daytoy a daga iti sangoanan dagiti tattaom nga Israel, ket intedmo daytoy kadagiti kaputotan ni Abraham iti agnanayon?
8 They are living in the land and have built a Temple for you here to honor you, saying,
Nagnaedda iti daytoy ket nangipatakderda iti nasantoan a lugar para iti naganmo, a kunada,
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.’
'No adda didigra nga umay kadakami-ti gubat, wenno sakit, wenno bisin-tumakderkami iti sangoanan daytoy a balay, ken iti sangoanam (ta ti naganmo ket adda iti daytoy a balay), ket umasogkami kenka iti panagrigatmi, ket denggennakami ket isalakannakami.'
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.
Kitaem ita, adda ditoy dagiti tattao ti Ammon, Moab, ken Bantay Seir, a saanmo nga impalubos a sakupen ti Israel, idi rimmuarda iti daga ti Egipto; ngem ketdi, naglikaw ti Israel ket saanda ida a dinadael.
11 See how they're rewarding us, coming to steal the land you gave us to possess forever!
Kitaem no kasano ti panangsupapakda kadakami; um-umayda a mangpapanaw kadakami iti dagam nga intedmo kadakami a tawidenmi.
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.”
O Diosmi, saanmo kadi nga ukomen ida? Ta awan bilegmi a mangsaranget iti daytoy a nakadakdakkel nga armada nga um-umay a mangraut kadakami.” Saanmi nga ammo ti aramidenmi, ngem dumawdawatkami iti tulongmo.”
13 All the men of Judah stood before the Lord, together with their wives and children and babies.
Nagtakder ti amin a Juda iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, a kadduada dagiti ubbingda, assawada, ken annakda.
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.
Ket iti tengnga ti taripnong, immay ti Espiritu ni Yahweh kenni Jahaziel a putot a lalaki ni Zacarias a putot a lalaki ni Benaias a putot a lalaki ni Jeiel a putot a lalaki ni Matanaias a Levita, maysa kadagiti putot a lalaki ni Asap.
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!
Kinuna ni Jahaziel, “Dumngegkayo, amin a Juda ken dakayo nga agnanaed iti Jerusalem, ken Ari a Jehosafat: “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh kadakayo: 'Saankayo nga agbuteng; saankayo a maupay gapu iti daytoy a dakkel nga armada. Ta ti gubat ket saan a para kadakayo, ngem iti Dios.
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.
Sumalogkayo a mangsaranget kadakuada inton bigat. Kitaenyo, sumangsang-atda idiay bessang ti Ziz. Masarakanyo ida iti pungto ti tanap, sakbay iti let-ang ti Jeruel.
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!”
Saanen a masapul a makirangetkayo iti daytoy a gubat. Agtalinaedkayo iti puestoyo, aguraykayo, ket kitaenyo ti panangispal ni Yahweh kadakayo, Juda ken Jerusalem. Saankayo nga agbuteng wenno maupay. Inkay makigubat kadakuada inton bigat, ta adda ni Yahweh kadakayo.”
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.
Nagrukob ni Jehosafat iti daga. Nagrukob iti sangoanan ni Yahweh ti amin a Juda ken dagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem, ket nagdaydayawda kenkuana.
19 Then the Levites from the Kohathites and Korahites stood to praise the Lord, the God of Israel, shouting loudly.
Timmakder dagiti Levita a kaputotan dagiti Koatitas ken Koreitas ket nagdaydayawda kenni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel iti nakapigpigsa a timek.
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.”
Bimmangonda a nasapa iti kabigatanna ket napanda iti let-ang ti Tekoa. Bayat a rumrummuarda, timmakder ni Jehosafat ket kinunana, “Dumngegkayo kaniak, Juda, ken dakayo nga agnanaed iti Jerusalem! Agtalekkayo kenni Yahweh a Diosyo, ket saranayennakayonto. Agtalekkayo kadagiti profetana, ket agballigikayonto.”
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!”
Idi nakiuman isuna kadagiti tattao, dinutokanna dagiti agkanta kadagiti panangidaydayaw kenni Yahweh gapu iti nasantoan a dayagna, bayat a magmagnada iti sangoanan ti armada, kankantaenda, “Agyamankami kenni Yahweh; ta agnanayon ti kinapudnona iti tulagna.”
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.
Idi rugianda ti agkanta ken agdayaw, pinagririnnanget ni Yahweh dagiti tattao ti Ammon, Moab ken Bantay Seir, nga um-umay a mangraut iti Juda. Naparmekda.
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.
Ta dagiti tattao ti Ammon ken Moab ket nakiranget kadagiti agnanaed iti Bantay Seir, tapno naan-anay a mapapatay ken madadaelda ida. Idi naparmekda dagiti tattao ti Bantay Seir, isudan ti nagraranget.
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.
Idi nakadanon ti Juda iti lugar a matannawaganda ti let-ang, nakitada dagiti armada. Adtoy, nataydan, napasagda iti daga; awan iti nakalasat.
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.
Idi napan ni Jehosafat ken dagiti tattao tapno agsamsamda, nakasarakda kadagiti nakaad-adu a kinabaknang ken napapateg nga alahas, a sinamsamda para kadagiti bagbagida, ad-adu dagitoy ngem iti kabaelanda nga awiten. Tallo nga aldaw a binunagda dagiti samsam, nakaad-adu unay dagitoy.
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.
Iti maika-uppat nga aldaw, naguummongda iti tanap ti Beraca. Indaydayawda sadiay ni Yahweh, isu a ti nagan dayta a lugar ket ti “tanap ti Beraca” agingga kadagitoy nga aldaw.
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.
Kalpasanna ket indauloan ida ni Jehosafat nga agsubli idiay Jerusalem nga addaan rag-o; ta pinagrag-o ida ni Yahweh kadagiti kabusorda.
28 They entered Jerusalem and went straight to the Temple of Lord, accompanied by music from harps, lyres, and trumpets.
Simmangpetda idiay Jerusalem ket napanda iti balay ni Yahweh a nabuyogan iti uni dagiti lira, arpa ken trumpeta.
29 All the kingdoms around were in awe of God when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel.
Nagbuteng iti Dios dagiti amin a pagarian kadagiti nasion idi nadamagda a nakiranget ni Yahweh kadagiti kabusor ti Israel.
30 Jehoshaphat and his kingdom were at peace, for God gave him rest—there were no attacks from any direction.
Natalna ngarud ti pagarian ni Jehosafat, ta inikkan ti Diosna isuna iti kappia iti aglawlawna.
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.
Nagturay ni Jehosafat iti entero a Juda: agtawen isuna iti 35 idi nangrugi nga agturay, ket nagturay isuna idiay Jerusalem iti 25 a tawen. Azuba ti nagan ti inana, a putot a babai ni Silhi.
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.
Sinurotna dagiti wagas ni Asa nga amana; saanna a tinallikudan dagitoy; inaramidna ti ummo iti imatang ni Yahweh.
33 However, the high places were not removed, and the people were not committed to the God of their forefathers.
Nupay kasta, saan pay a naikkat dagiti lugar a pagdaydayawan, saan pay met a pimmasnek dagiti tattao iti panagdaydayawda iti Dios dagiti kapuonanda.
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.
Dagiti dadduma a banbanag maipanggep kenni Jehosafat, manipud iti rugi agingga iti maudi, ket naisurat iti pakasaritaan ni Jehu a putot a lalaki ni Hanani, a nailanad iti Libro dagiti Ar-ari ti Israel.
35 Later in his life, Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, allied himself with Ahaziah, king of Israel, who did wicked things.
Kalpasan daytoy, nakitulag ni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda kenni Ahazias nga ari ti Israel, nga adu a kinadakes ti inaramidna.
36 They agreed to work together and send ships to Tarshish. The ships were built in Ezion-geber.
Nakitulag isuna kenkuana nga agaramidda kadagiti barko nga aglayag iti taaw. Inaramidda dagiti barko idiay Eziongeber.
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.
Ket nangipadto ni Eliezer a putot a lalaki ni Dodavahu a taga-Maresias, iti maibusor kenni Jehosafat; kinunana, “Gapu ta nakitulagka kenni Ahazias, dinadael ni Yahweh dagiti inaramidyo.” Nadadael dagiti barko tapno saanda a makapaglayag.
