2 Chronicles 20
1 After this also came the children of Moab and the children of Ammon, and with them of the Ammonites against Iehoshaphat to battell.
Pea hili ʻae meʻa ni, naʻe hoko ʻo pehē foki, ko e fānau ʻa Moape, mo e fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, mo e tokolahi naʻe fakataha mo e kau ʻAmoni, naʻa nau haʻu ke tauʻi ʻa Sihosafate:
2 Then there came that tolde Iehoshaphat, saying, There commeth a great multitude against thee from beyonde the Sea, out of Aram: and beholde, they bee in Hazzon Tamar, which is En-gedi.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae niʻihi naʻe lea kia Sihosafate, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku haʻu ʻae fuʻu tokolahi ke tauʻi koe mei he tuʻa tahi ʻi he potu mai ki heni ʻo Silia: pea vakai, ʻoku nau ʻi Hesasonitea, ʻaia ko Eniketi.”
3 And Iehoshaphat feared, and set him selfe to seeke the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Iudah.
Pea naʻe manavahē ʻa Sihosafate, pea naʻa ne hanga ia ke kumi kia Sihova, pea ne fekau ke fai ʻae ʻaukai ʻi Siuta kotoa pē.
4 And Iudah gathered them selues together to aske counsel of the Lord: they came euen out of all the cities of Iudah to inquire of the Lord,
Pea naʻe fakakātoa ʻa Siuta kotoa pē, ke kole ʻae tokoni meia Sihova: ʻio, naʻa nau haʻu mei he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta ke kumi kia Sihova.
5 And Iehoshaphat stoode in the Congregation of Iudah and Ierusalem in the house of the Lord before the new court,
Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻa Sihosafate ʻi he fakataha ʻo Siuta mo Selūsalema, ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻi he potu ki muʻa ʻoe lotoʻā foʻou,
6 And saide, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heauen? and reignest not thou on all the kingdomes of the heathen? and in thine hande is power and might, and none is able to withstand thee.
ʻO ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻemau ngaahi tamai, ʻikai ko e ʻOtua koe ʻi he langi? Pea ʻikai ʻoku ke pule ʻa koe ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe hiteni? Pea ʻikai ʻoku ʻi ho nima ʻae mālohi mo e mafai, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa faʻa angatuʻu ha tokotaha kiate koe?
7 Diddest not thou our God cast out ye inhabitants of this lande before thy people Israel, and gauest it to the seede of Abraham thy friende for euer?
ʻIkai ko homau ʻOtua ʻa koe? Naʻa ke kapusi kituaʻā ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua ni mei he ʻao ʻo ho kakai ko ʻIsileli, mo ke foaki ia ki he hako ʻo ʻEpalahame ko ho kāinga ke taʻengata?
8 And they dwelt therein, and haue built thee a Sanctuarie therein for thy Name, saying,
Pea naʻa nau nofo ai, pea kuo nau langa ʻi ai ʻae fale nofoʻanga moʻou ki ho huafa, ʻo pehē,
9 If euill come vpon vs, as the sworde of iudgement, or pestilence, or famine, we will stande before this house and in thy presence (for thy name is in this house) and will crie vnto thee in our tribulation, and thou wilt heare and helpe.
ʻOka hoko ʻae kovi kiate kimautolu, ko e heletā, pe ko e fakamalaʻia, pe ko e mahaki lahi, pe ko e honge, kapau te mau tuʻu ʻi he mata fale ni, pea ʻi ho ʻao, (he ʻoku ʻi he fale ni ʻa ho huafa, ) pea [mau ]tangi kiate koe ʻi heʻemau tuʻutāmaki, pea te ke ongoʻi mo ke tokoni.
10 And now beholde, the children of Ammon and Moab, and mount Seir, by whome thou wouldest not let Israel goe, when they came out of the land of Egypt: but they turned aside from them, and destroyed them not:
Pea ko eni, vakai, ko e fānau ʻa ʻAmoni mo Moape mo e moʻunga ko Seia, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai te ke tuku ʻa ʻIsileli ke nau tauʻi, ʻi heʻenau haʻu kituaʻā mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ka naʻa nau tafoki meiate kinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu:
11 Behold, I say, they reward vs, in comming to cast vs out of thine inheritance, which thou hast caused vs to inherit.
Vakai, ki he anga ʻo ʻenau totongi kiate kimautolu, kuo haʻu ʻakinautolu ke kapusi ʻakimautolu mei ho tofiʻa, ʻaia kuo ke foaki kiate kimautolu ke mau maʻu.
12 O our God, wilt thou not iudge them? for there is no strength in vs to stand before this great multitude that commeth against vs, neither doe wee knowe what to doe: but our eyes are toward thee.
ʻE homau ʻOtua, ʻe ʻikai te ke fakamaauʻi ʻakinautolu? He ʻoku ʻikai ha mālohi ʻiate kimautolu ki he fuʻu tokolahi ni ʻoku haʻu ke tauʻi ʻakimautolu: pea ʻoku ʻikai te mau ʻilo foki ʻae meʻa ke fai: ka ʻoku hanga homau mata kiate koe.”
13 And all Iudah stoode before the Lord with their yong ones, their wiues, and their children.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Siuta kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, fakataha mo ʻenau ngaahi fānau siʻi, mo honau ngaahi uaifi, mo ʻenau ngaahi fānau.
14 And Iahaziel the sonne of Zechariah the sonne of Benaiah, the sonne of Ieiel, the sonne of Mattaniah, a Leuite of the sonnes of Asaph was there, vpon whome came the Spirite of ye Lord, in the middes of the Congregation.
Pea naʻe hoko ai ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova kia Saesieli ko e foha ʻo Sakalia, ko e foha ʻo Penaia, ko e foha ʻo Seieli, ko e foha ʻo Matania, ko e tangata Livai ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻAsafi, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fakataha:
15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Iudah, and ye inhabitantes of Ierusalem, and thou, King Iehoshaphat: thus saith the Lord vnto you, Feare you not, neither be afraide for this great multitude: for the battel is not yours, but Gods.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Mou fanongo mai, ʻa Siuta kotoa pē, mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema, mo koe ʻae tuʻi ko Sihosafate, ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu, ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē pe ilifia koeʻuhi ko e fuʻu kakai tokolahi ni: he ʻoku ʻikai ʻamoutolu ʻae tau, ka ʻoku ʻi he ʻOtua ia.
16 To morowe goe yee downe against them: beholde, they come vp by the cleft of Ziz, and ye shall finde them at the ende of the brooke before the wildernesse of Ieruel.
Mou ʻalu hifo ʻapongipongi kiate kinautolu: vakai, ʻoku nau ʻalu hake ʻi he tahifohifo ʻo Sisi: pea te mou maʻu atu ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe vaitafe, ʻi he mata toafa ʻo Silueli.
17 Ye shall not neede to fight in this battell: stand still, moue not, and behold the saluation of the Lord towardes you: O Iudah, and Ierusalem, feare ye not, neither be afraid: to morow goe out against them, and the Lord wilbe with you.
ʻE ʻikai te mou tau ʻi he tau ni: kae tuʻumaʻu pe, ʻE Siuta mo Selūsalema, pea tuʻu longo pe, pea mamata ki he fakamoʻui ʻa Sihova maʻamoutolu: ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē pe ilifia: ʻalu atu kiate kinautolu ʻapongipongi: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa Sihova.”
18 Then Iehoshaphat bowed downe with his face to the earth, and all Iudah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem fell downe before the Lord, worshipping the Lord.
Pea naʻe punou hifo hono fofonga ʻe Sihosafate mo hono mata ki he kelekele: pea naʻe tō fakafoʻohifo ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻa Siuta kotoa pē mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻo Selūsalema, ʻonau hū kia Sihova.
19 And the Leuites of the children of the Kohathites and of the childre of the Corhites stood vp to prayse the Lord God of Israel with a loude voyce on hie.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau Livai, ʻoe fānau ʻae kau Kohate, pea ʻi he fānau ʻa Kola, ke nau fakamālō kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi ʻo māʻolunga.
20 And when they arose early in the morning, they went forth to the wildernesse of Tekoa: and as they departed, Iehoshaphat stoode and sayde, Heare ye me, O Iudah, and ye inhabitants of Ierusalem: put your trust in the Lord your God, and ye shalbe assured: beleeue his Prophets, and ye shall prosper.
Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he ʻapongipongi, ʻo ʻalu atu ki he toafa ʻo Tikoa: pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu atu, naʻe tuʻu ʻa Sihosafate ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Siuta, mo kimoutolu ʻae kakai ʻo Selūsalema, tokanga kiate au: Tui kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ko ia ʻe fakatuʻumaʻu ai ʻakimoutolu: tui ki heʻene kau palōfita, ko ia te mou monūʻia ai.”
21 And when he had consulted with the people, and appoynted singers vnto the Lord, and them that should prayse him that is in the beautifull Sanctuarie, in going forth before the men of armes, and saying, Prayse ye the Lord, for his mercy lasteth for euer,
Pea hili ʻa ʻene fakakaukau fakataha mo e kakai, naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe ia ʻae kau hiva kia Sihova, ke nau fakaongo lelei ʻae matamatalelei ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, ʻi heʻenau ʻalu kituaʻā ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tau, mo nau lea ʻo pehē, “Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: he ʻoku tolonga taʻengata ʻene angaʻofa.”
22 And when they began to shoute, and to prayse, the Lord layed ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Iudah, and they slewe one another.
Pea ʻi heʻenau kamata ʻae hiva mo fai ʻae fakafetaʻi, naʻe fakatoka ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi malumu ki he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, mo Moape, mo e moʻunga ko Seia naʻe haʻu ke tauʻi ʻa Siuta: pea naʻe teʻia ʻakinautolu.
23 For the children of Ammon and Moab rose against the inhabitants of mount Seir, to slay and to destroy them and when they had made an end of the inhabitantes of Seir, euery one helped to destroy another.
He naʻe tuʻu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni mo Moape ʻo tauʻi ʻae kakai ʻoe moʻunga ko Seia, pea taaʻi mo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu: pea hili ʻenau fakangata ʻae kakai ʻo Seia, ʻaia nau fai ʻo fetokoniʻaki ʻi he fetāmateʻaki ʻakinautolu.
24 And when Iudah came towarde Mizpah in the wildernes, they looked vnto the multitude: and behold, the carkeises were fallen to the earth, and none escaped.
Pea ʻi he hoko ʻa Siuta ʻo ofi ki he fale leʻo ʻi he toafa, pea nau fakasio atu ki he kakai, pea ʻiloange, ko e ngaahi sino mate pe ʻakinautolu, kuo nau tō ki he kelekele, pea naʻe ʻikai ha niʻihi kuo hao.
25 And when Iehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoyle of them, they founde among them in abundance both of substance and also of bodies laden with precious iewels, which they tooke for themselues, till they could cary no more: they were three dayes in gathering of the spoyle: for it was much.
Pea ʻi he hoko ʻa Sihosafate mo hono kakai ke ʻave ʻae vete ʻonautolu, naʻa nau ʻilo ʻiate kinautolu ʻae koloa lahi ʻi honau ngaahi sino mate, mo e ngaahi teunga maʻongoʻonga, ʻaia naʻa nau vete maʻanautolu, naʻe lahi hake ʻi heʻenau mafai ke fetuku ʻo ʻave: pea naʻa nau ʻaho tolu ʻi he tānaki ʻae koloa vete, he naʻe lahi ia.
26 And in the fourth day they assembled themselues in the valley of Berachah: for there they blessed the Lord: therefore they called the name of that place, The valley of Berachah vnto this day.
Pea ʻi hono ʻaho fā, naʻa nau fakakātoa ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa ko Pelaka: he naʻa nau fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻi ai, ko ia naʻe fakahingoa ai ʻae potu ko ia ko “Pelaka,” ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
27 Then euery man of Iudah and Ierusalem returned with Iehoshaphat their head, to goe againe to Ierusalem with ioy: for the Lord had made them to reioyce ouer their enemies.
Pea naʻe tafoki ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻo Siuta mo Selūsalema, pea muʻomuʻa ʻa Sihosafate ʻiate kinautolu, ke nau toe ʻalu ki Selūsalema ʻi he fiefia: he naʻe fakafiefiaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ki honau ngaahi fili.
28 And they came to Ierusalem with viols and with harpes, and with trumpets, euen vnto the house of the Lord.
Pea naʻa nau haʻu ki Selūsalema, mo e ngaahi ūtete mo e ngaahi haʻape mo e ngaahi meʻa lea ki he fale ʻo Sihova.
29 And the feare of God was vpon all the kingdomes of the earth, whe they had heard that the Lord had fought against ye enemies of Israel.
Pea naʻe [tō ]ʻae manavahē ki he ʻOtua ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi fonua ko ia, ʻi heʻenau ongoʻi naʻe tau ʻe Sihova ki he ngaahi fili ʻo ʻIsileli.
30 So the kingdom of Iehoshaphat was quiet, and his God gaue him rest on euery side.
Ko ia naʻe fiemālie ʻae puleʻanga ʻo Sihosafate: he naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻe hono ʻOtua ʻae fiemālie ʻi he potu kotoa pē.
31 And Iehoshaphat reigned ouer Iudah, and was fiue and thirtie yeere olde, when he began to reigne: and reigned fiue and twentie yeere in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
Pea naʻe pule ʻa Sihosafate ki Siuta: naʻe tolungofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe nima ia ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu ma nima ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko ʻAsupa ko e ʻofefine ʻo Sili.
32 And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not therefrom, doing that which was right in the sight of the Lord.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo ʻAsa ko ʻene tamai, pea naʻe ʻikai tafoki mei ai, ka naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
33 Howbeit the hie places were not taken away: for the people had not yet prepared their hearts vnto the God of their fathers.
Ka ko e moʻoni naʻe ʻikai liʻaki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga: koeʻuhi naʻe teʻeki ai teuteu honau loto ʻe he kakai ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.
34 Concerning the rest of the actes of Iehoshaphat first and last, beholde, they are written in the booke of Iehu the sonne of Hanani, which is mentioned in the booke of the kings of Israel.
Pea ko eni ko hono toe ʻoe ngāue ʻa Sihosafate, ko e ʻuluaki mo e kimui, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻa Sehu, ko e foha ʻo Hanani, ʻaia kuo lau ia ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
35 Yet after this did Iehoshaphat King of Iudah ioyne himselfe with Ahaziah King of Israel, who was giuen to do euill.
Pea hili ʻae meʻa ni naʻe fakakau ia ʻe Sihosafate kia ʻAhasia ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe fai angakovi lahi:
36 And he ioyned with him, to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the shippes in Ezion Gaber.
Pea naʻa ne kau taha mo ia ke faʻu ʻae ngaahi vaka ke ʻalu ki Tasisi: pea naʻa nau faʻu ʻae ngaahi vaka ʻi Esioni-Kepa.
37 Then Eliezer ye sonne of Dodauah of Mareshah prophecied against Iehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast ioyned thy selfe with Ahaziah, the Lord hath broken thy workes. and the shippes were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
Pea naʻe lea ai ʻa ʻEliesa ko e foha ʻo Totava mei Malesa ʻo valoki ʻa Sihosafate, ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo kau koe kia ʻAhasia, kuo maumau hoʻo ngaahi ngāue ʻe Sihova. Pea naʻe maumau ʻae ngaahi vaka, ko ia naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa folau ki Tasisi.”
