2 Chronicles 20
1 And it came to pass after this, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
Ary nony afaka izany, dia avy hiady tamin’ i Josafata ny taranak’ i Moaba sy ny taranak’ i Amona mbamin’ ny any ankoatry ny Amonita.
2 Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying: 'There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea from Aram; and, behold, they are in Hazazon-tamar' — the same is En-gedi.
Ary nisy tonga ka nanambara tamin’ i Josafata hoe: Indreo, misy olona betsaka avy any an-dafin’ ny ranomasina, dia avy any Syria, ho avy hiady aminao; ary indreo izy ao Hazezon-tamara (Enjedy izany).
3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek unto the LORD; and he proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
Dia natahotra Josafata ka nanatrika tsara hitady an’ i Jehovah sady niantso andro fifadian-kanina ho an’ ny tanin’ ny Joda rehetra.
4 And Judah gathered themselves together, to seek help of the LORD; even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.
Dia niangona ny Joda hangataka famonjena amin’ i Jehovah; eny, avy tamin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda rehetra hitady an’ i Jehovah izy.
5 And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court;
Ary Josafata nitsangana teo amin’ ny fiangonan’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema, Tao amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah, teo anoloan’ ny kianja vaovao,
6 and he said: 'O LORD, the God of our fathers, art not Thou alone God in heaven? and art not Thou ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? and in Thy hand is power and might, so that none is able to withstand Thee.
ka nanao hoe: Ry Jehovah ô, Andriamanitry ny razanay, tsy Hianao va no Andriamanitra any an-danitra? Eny, Hianao no manapaka amin’ ny fanjakan’ ny jentilisa rehetra, ary eo an-tananao ny hery sy ny fahefana, ka tsy misy mahasakana Anao.
7 Didst not Thou, O our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before Thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham Thy friend for ever?
Ry Andriamanitray ô, tsy Hianao va no nandroaka ny mponina tamin’ ity tany ity hiala teo anoloan’ ny Isiraely olonao ka nanome azy mandrakizay ho an’ ny taranak’ i Abrahama sakaizanao?
8 And they dwelt therein, and have built Thee a sanctuary therein for Thy name, saying:
Ary nonina tatỳ izy ka nanao fitoerana masìna teto ho an’ ny anaranao sady nanao hoe:
9 If evil come upon us, the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we will stand before this house, and before Thee — for Thy name is in this house — and cry unto Thee in our affliction, and Thou wilt hear and save.
Raha manjo anay ny loza, na sabatra, na famaliana, na areti-mandringana, na mosary, ary hitsangana manatrika ity trano ity sy eto anatrehanao izahay (fa ny anaranao no amin’ ity trano ity) ka hitaraina aminao amin’ ny fahorianay, dia hihaino Hianao ka hamonjy.
10 And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom Thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned aside from them, and destroyed them not;
Koa indreo ny taranak’ i Amona sy Moaba ary ny avy any an-tendrombohitra, Seïra, dia ilay tsy navelanao hotafihin’ ny Isiraely, fony izy nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, ka nivily fa tsy nandringana azy;
11 behold, they render unto us evil, to come to cast us out of Thy possession, which Thou hast given us to inherit.
nefa indreo izy mamaly ratsy anay ka avy handroaka anay amin’ ny lova nomenao anay.
12 O our God, wilt Thou not execute judgment on them? for we have no might against this great multitude that cometh against us; neither know we what to do; but our eyes are upon Thee.'
Ry Andriamanitray ô, tsy hitsara azy va Hianao? Fa izahay dia tsy manan-kery hanohitra ireo olona betsaka ireo, izay avy hamely anay, koa tsy hitanay izay hataonay; fa Hianao no andrandrain’ ny masonay.
13 And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
Ary ny Joda rehetra mbamin’ ny vadiny aman-janany koa dia samy nitsangana teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
14 Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, came the spirit of the LORD in the midst of the congregation;
Ary Jahaziela, zanak’ i Zakaria, zanak’ i Benaia, zanak’ i Jeiela, zanak’ i Matania, Levita amin’ ny taranak’ i Asafa, dia voatsindrin’ ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah teo amin’ ny fiangonana
15 and he said: 'Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat: thus saith the LORD unto you: Fear not ye, neither be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.
ka nanao hoe: Mihainoa ianareo, ry Joda rehetra sy ry mponina any Jerosalema, ary ianao, ry Josafata mpanjaka: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah aminareo: Aza matahotra na mivadi-po ny amin’ ireo olona betsaka ireo, fa tsy anareo ny ady, fa an’ Andriamanitra.
16 To-morrow go ye 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.
Rahampitso dia midìna hiady aminy ianareo; fa, indreo, hiakatra amin’ ny fiakarana Ziza izy; ary ianareo hahita azy eo amin’ ny faran’ ny lohasahan-driaka tandrifin’ ny efitr’ i Jeroela.
17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle; set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem; fear not, nor be dismayed; to-morrow go out against them; for the LORD is with you.'
Tsy ianareo anefa no hiady amin’ ity; mijanòna tsara, fa ho hitanareo ny hamonjen’ i Jehovah anareo, ry Joda sy Jerosalema. Aza matahotra na mivadi-po, fa rahampitso dia mivoaha hiady aminy; fa Jehovah no momba anareo.
18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before the LORD, worshipping the LORD.
Dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany Josafata; ary ny Joda sy ny mponina rehetra tany Jerosalema niankohoka teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah koa ka nivavaka.
19 And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise the LORD, the God of Israel, with an exceeding loud voice.
Dia nitsangana ny Levita, taranaky ny Kehatita sy taranaky ny Koraïta, mba hidera an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, tamin’ ny feo mahery indrindra.
20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said: 'Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe His prophets, so shall ye prosper.'
Ary nifoha maraina koa izy, dia niainga nankany an-efitr’ i Tekoa; ary nony nivoaka izy, dia nitsangana teo Josafata ka nanao hoe: Mihainoa ahy, ry Joda, sy ianareo, ry mponina eto Jerosalema: Minoa an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, dia ho tafatoetra ianareo; minoa ny mpaminaniny, dia hambinina ianareo.
21 And when he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed them that should sing unto the LORD, and praise in the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and say: 'Give thanks unto the LORD, for His mercy endureth for ever.'
Ary rehefa niara-nihevitra tamin’ ny olona izy, dia nanendry mpihira ho an’ i Jehovah hidera amin’ ny fihaingoana masìna, raha mivoaka eo anoloan’ ny olona efa voaomana hiady, ka hanao hoe: Miderà an’ i Jehovah, fa mandrakizay ny famindram-pony.
22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set liers-in-wait against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, that were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
Ary raha vao nanomboka nihoby sy nidera ireo, dia nasian’ i Jehovah otrika hamely ny taranak’ i Amona sy Moaba sy ny avy any an-tendrombohitra Seïra, izay avy hamely ny Joda, ka dia resy ireo.
23 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them; and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.
Dia nitsangana ny taranak’ i Amona sy Moaba namely ny avy any an-tendrombohitra Seïra ka namono sy nandringana azy; ary nony voaringany ny mponina tany Seïra, dia nifandringana kosa izy samy izy ihany.
24 And when Judah came to the watch-tower of the wilderness, they looked upon the multitude; and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none that escaped.
Ary nony tonga teo amin’ ilay fitazanana any an-efitra ny Joda, dia nijery ireo olona betsaka ireo izy, koa, indreo, nisy faty niampatrampatra tamin’ ny tany, fa tsy nisy afa-nandositra.
25 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away; and they were three days in taking the spoil, it was so much.
Ary avy hamabo azy Josafata sy ny vahoakany, dia nahita harena betsaka sy faty ary fanaka sarobidy teo izy, ka dia namabo mihoatra noho izay zakany ho entina; ary hateloana no nanangonany ny babo, fa be dia be ireny.
26 And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Beracah; for there they blessed the LORD; therefore the name of that place was called The valley of Beracah, unto this day.
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahefatra dia nivory tao amin’ ny lohasaha Beraka izy, fa tany no nisaorany an’ i Jehovah; koa izany no nanaovany izany tany izany hoe Lohasaha Beraka mandraka androany.
27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go back to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
Koa dia niverina ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema, ary Josafata nitarika azy hankany Jerosalema indray tamin’ ny fifaliana, fa Jehovah nampifaly azy ny amin’ ny fahavalony.
28 And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD.
Ary tonga tany Jerosalema izy nitondra valiha sy lokanga ary trompetra ka nankao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
29 And a terror from God was on all the kingdoms of the countries, when they heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.
Ary ny fahatahorana an’ Andriamanitra nahazo ny fanjakana rehetra manodidina, nony efa reny fa Jehovah no niady tamin’ ny fahavalon’ ny Isiraely.
30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; for his God gave him rest round about.
Ary nandry fahizay ny fanjakan’ i Josafata; fa nomen’ Andriamaniny fiadanana tamin’ ny manodidina izy.
31 And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah; he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
Ary Josafata nanjaka tamin’ ny Joda; dimy amby telo-polo taona izy, fony vao nanjaka, ary dimy amby roa-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema, Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Azoba, zanakavavin’ i Sily.
32 And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD.
Ary nandeha tamin’ ny lalana nalehan’ i Asa rainy izy ka tsy niala tamin’ izany, fa nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah.
33 Howbeit the high places were not taken away; neither as yet had the people set their hearts unto the God of their fathers.
Kanefa ny fitoerana avo tsy mba noravana; fa ny olona tsy mbola nampiomana ny fony hitady an’ Andriamanitry ny razany.
34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the words of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is inserted in the book of the kings of Israel.
Ary ny tantaran’ i Josafata sisa, na ny voalohany na ny farany, indro, efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny tenin’ i Jeho, zanak’ i Hanany, izay nakambana ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, izany.
35 And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel; the same did very wickedly;
Nefa nony afaka izany, Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, nikambana tamin’ i Ahazia, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, izay nanao ratsy;
36 and he joined him with himself to make ships to go to Tarshish; and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.
ary nikambana taminy hanao sambo hankany Tarsisy izy, ka tao Ezion-gebera no nanaovany azy.
37 Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying: 'Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath made a breach in thy works.' And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
Ary Eliezera, zanak’ i Dodavaho, avy any Maresa, naminany ny amin’ i Josafata hoe: Noho ny nikambananao tamin’ i Ahazia dia horavan’ i Jehovah ny asanao. Ary nahavakiana ny sambo ka tsy nahazo nankany Tarsisy.
