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 'Ammonim, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
A hnukah tah Moab koca rhoek, Ammon koca neh amih taengkah Ammoni lamkah rhoek loh Jehoshaphat taengah caemtloek hamla pawk uh.
2 And there came some and told unto Jehoshaphat, saying, There is coming against thee a great multitude from beyond the sea, from Syria; and, behold, they are in Chazazon-thamar, which is 'En-gedi.
Te dongah a pha uh neh Jehoshaphat taengla puen uh tih, “Nang taengah tuipuei rhalvangan lamkah, Aram lamkah hlangping muep ha pawk. Amih tah Engedi Hazezontamar ah om uh coeng ke,” a ti nah.
3 Then became Jehoshaphat afraid, and he directed his face to seek the Lord; and he proclaimed a fast over all Judah.
Tedae a rhih dongah BOEIPA te dawt hamla Jehoshaphat loh a maelhmai a hoi. Te phoeiah Judah pum hamla yaehnah hnin khaw a hoe pah.
4 And [the people of] Judah gathered themselves together, to ask [help] of the Lord: also out of all the cities of Judah did they come to seek the Lord.
Te daengah BOEIPA lamkah te tlap hamla Judah rhoek coi uh thae tih Judah khopuei tom lamloh BOEIPA tlap hamla ha pawk.
5 And Jehoshaphat stood forward in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court.
Jehoshaphat tah Jerusalem, BOEIPA im, vongup thai hmai kah Judah hlangping lakli ah pai.
6 And he said, O Lord, the God of our fathers, thou art God in the heavens, and thou rulest over all the kingdoms of the nations; and in thy hand are the power and might, and there is none that can withstand thee.
Te vaengah, “A pa rhoek kah Pathen YAHWEH, vaan kah Pathen khaw namah moenih a? Namah loh namtom ram boeih na taemrhai. Na kut ah thadueng neh thayung thamal om tih nang aka pai thil thai a om moenih.
7 Behold, it is thou, O our God, who hast driven out the inhabitants of this land from before thy people Israel; and thou gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend to eternity.
Namah te kaimih kah Pathen moenih a? Khohmuen kah khosa rhoek he na pilnam Israel mikhmuh lamloh na haek tih na lungnah Abraham tiingan taengah kumhal duela na paek.
8 And they have dwelt therein, and have built for thee therein a sanctuary for thy name, saying,
A khuiah kho a sak uh tih a khuiah namah ham neh na ming hamla rhokso a sak uh.
9 If there should come over us any evil, the sword, punishment, or pestilence, or famine, [then] will we stand before this house, and in thy presence, for thy name is in this house, and we will cry unto thee out of our distress, and thou wilt hear and help.
Kaimih soah tholhphu yoethae cunghang, duektahaw, khokha a pai atah he im hmai ah ka pai uh tih, he im kah namah mikhmuh ah na ming neh ka pai uh ni. Kaimih kah citcai khuiah nang te kang khue uh vaengah na yaak vetih nan khang ni.
10 And now, behold, the children of 'Ammon and Moab and mount Se'ir, against whom thou wouldst not suffer Israel to come, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned aside from them, and destroyed them not: —
Tedae Ammon koca, Moab neh Seir tlang ke ne. Egypt khohmuen lamloh na coe uh vaengah amih taengla kun ham Israel te na paek moenih. Amih taeng lamloh a nong uh dongah khaw amih te a mitmoeng uh moenih.
11 And behold, they recompense us, by coming to drive us out of thy inheritance, which thou hast given us to possess.
Te phoeiah amih loh kaimih haek ham neh kaimih taengah ha pawk hamla n'thuung uh coeng he. Te te na rho khui lamkah ni kaimih nan pang sak.
12 O our God, wilt thou not execute justice on them? for there is no power in us against this great multitude that is coming against us; and we indeed know not what we are to do: but upon thee are our eyes [directed].
Kaimih kah Pathen aw, amih taengah lai na tloek mahpawt nim? Kaimih taengla aka pawk hlangping he yet mikhmuh ah kaimih he thadueng tal coeng. Kaimih loh metla ka saii uh ham ka ming pawt dae kaimih mik loh namah taengla hooi uh,” a ti.
13 And all Judah were standing before the Lord, also their little ones, their wives, and their sons.
Te vaengah Judah boeih neh camoe rhoek khaw, a yuu rhoek khaw a ca rhoek khaw BOEIPA mikhmuh ah pai uh.
14 And upon Jachaziel the son of Zecharyahu, the son of Benayah, the son of Je'iel, the son of Matthanyah, the Levite, of the sons of Assaph, came the spirit of the Lord in the midst of the assembly;
Zekhariah capa Jahaziel, Benaiah capa, Jeiel capa, Asaph koca lamkah Levi Mattaniah capa khaw pai. BOEIPA mueihla tah hlangping lakli ah anih soah a om pah.
15 And he said, Listen ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus hath said the Lord unto you, Be ye not afraid and be not dismayed because of this great multitude; for not unto you belongeth the battle, but unto God.
Te dongah, “Judah boeih neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek neh manghai Jehoshaphat, hnatung uh lah. BOEIPA loh nangmih taengah he ni a thui. Nangmih loh rhih uh boeh. Hlangping he yet mikhmuh ah rhihyawp uh boeh. Caemtloek he nangmih kah pawt tih Pathen hut ni.
16 Tomorrow go ye down against them behold, they come up by the ascent of Ziz; and ye will find them at the end of the valley, in front of the wilderness of Jeruel.
Thangvuen ah amih te suntlak thil uh, amih tah Ziz kham ah cet uh coeng ke. Amih te Jeruel khosoek hmai kah soklong bawt ah na hmuh uh bitni.
17 Ye shall not need to fight in this place: stand firmly, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, and be not dismayed; tomorrow go out to meet them, and the Lord will be with you.
Tahae kah vathoh ham he nangmih hut moenih, na pai cak sak uh lamtah nangmih ham BOEIPA kah khangnah te hmu uh. Judah neh Jerusalem aw rhih uh boeh rhihyawp uh boeh. Thangvuen ah amih mikhmuh la cet uh, nangmih taengah BOEIPA om,” a ti nah.
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, to prostrate themselves unto the Lord.
Jehoshaphat loh diklai la a maelhmai a buluk vaengah Judah pum neh Jerusalem kah khosa rhoek khaw BOEIPA te bawk hamla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah ba kop uh.
19 And then arose the Levites, of the children of the Kehathites, and of the children of the Korehites, to praise the Lord the God of Israel with a very loud voice.
Te phoeiah Kohathi koca lamkah Levi rhoek neh Korah koca lamkah khaw Israel Pathen BOEIPA taengah thangthen hamla thoo uh tih ol a len la a huel hang uh.
20 And they rose up early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Thekoa': and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood forward and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; believe in the Lord your God, and ye will have permanence; believe his prophets, and ye will prosper.
Te phoeiah mincang ah thoo uh tih Tekoa khosoek la pawk uh. Amih a hlah uh vaengah Jehoshaphat te pai tih, “Judah neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek kai ol he hnatun uh. Na Pathen BOEIPA te tangnah. A tonghma rhoek te uepom la tangnah lamtah thaihtak uh lah,” a ti.
21 And he consulted with his people, and he appointed singers unto the Lord, and those that should praise in the holy ornaments, as they went out before the armed array, and said, Give thanks unto the Lord; for unto everlasting endureth his kindness.
Pilnam a uen phoeiah tah BOEIPA te aka hlai la, hmuencim kah rhuepomnah te aka thangthen la, aka pumcum uh kah a hmai ah cet tih, “A sitlohnah kumhal ham dongah BOEIPA te uem uh,” aka ti la a khueh.
22 And at the time when they began with the song and the praise, the Lord set an ambush against the children of 'Ammon, Moab, and mount Se'ir, who were come against Judah, and they were smitten.
A tue te tamlung neh koehnah neh a tong uh. BOEIPA loh Moab kah Ammon koca rhoek neh Judah la aka pawk rhoek te Seir tlang ah rhongngol a khueh thil dongah yawk uh.
23 And the children of 'Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Se'ir, utterly to annihilate and to destroy them; and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Se'ir, they helped to destroy one another.
Ammon koca rhoek neh Moab loh Seir tlang kah khosa rhoek te thup ham neh mitmoeng sak ham thoo uh. Seir khosa rhoek te a khah uh phoeiah tah hlang loh amah hui te kutcaihnah hamla bom uh thae.
24 And when Judah came toward the watchtower in the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none had escaped.
Judah te khosoek kah rhaltoengim la pawk tih hlangping taengla mael. Tedae amih te diklai ah a rhok la tarha a yalh pah tih rhalyong om pawh.
25 And then came Jehoshaphat and his people to plunder their booty, and they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies, and costly vessels, which they stript off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in plundering the booty, for it was so much.
Te dongah Jehoshaphat neh a pilnam tah amih kah kutbuem te poelyoe hamla cet. Te vaengah amih taengah khuehtawn khaw rhok khaw, naikap hnopai khaw, a cungkuem la a hmuh uh tih hnophueih a tloel nah hil amamih ham a pit uh. Te te a yet dongah kutbuem a poelyoe uh te hnin thum koe uh.
26 And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the Lord: therefore did they call the name of this place, The valley of Berachah [[Blessing]], until this day.
A hnin li dongah tah Berakah kol ah tingtun uh tih BOEIPA te pahoi a uum uh. Te dongah te hmuen ming te tihnin hil Berakah kol la a khue uh.
27 Then returned all the men of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat at their head, to return to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had caused them to rejoice over their enemies.
Te phoeiah Judah neh Jerusalem hlang boeih te mael uh. BOEIPA loh amih te a thunkha rhoek soah ko a hoe sak dongah Jehoshaphat tah amih hmai ah Jerusalem la kohoenah neh mael.
28 And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and with harps and with trumpets unto the house of the Lord.
Jerusalem la a kun vaengah thangpa neh, rhotoeng neh, olueng neh BOEIPA im la kun uh.
29 And a dread from God was on all the kingdoms of [those] countries, when they heard that the Lord had fought with the enemies of Israel.
Israel kah thunkha taengah BOEIPA loh a vathoh thil te a yaak vaengah diklai ram boeih te Pathen taengah birhihnah om.
30 So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat had repose, and his God gave him rest all round about.
Te dongah a Pathen loh anih te a kaepvai taengah a duem sak tih Jehoshaphat ram khaw mong.
31 And [so] did Jehoshaphat reign over Judah; thirty and five years old was he when he became king, and twenty and five years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was 'Azubah the daughter of Shilchi.
Te dongah Jehoshaphat te sawmthum kum nga a lo ca vaengah Judah ah manghai coeng. A manghai vaengah Jerusalem ah kum kum kul neh kum nga manghai tih a manu ming tah Shilhi canu Azubah ni.
32 And he walked in the way of his father Assa, and turned not aside from it, doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord.
A napa Asa kah longpuei ah pongpa tih te lamkah te phael pawh. BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem a saii.
33 Nevertheless the high-places were not removed; for the people had not yet directed their heart firmly unto the God of their fathers.
Tedae hmuensang te khoe uh pawh. Pilnam loh a thinko te a napa rhoek kah Pathen taengah a cikngae mueh la om pueng.
34 And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Chanani, which was entered into the book of the kings of Israel.
Jehoshaphat kah ol noi khaw a kung neh a dong khaw Hanani capa Jehu kah olka khuiah a daek uh coeng ke. Te te Israel manghai rhoek kah cabu khuiah khaw a hlum.
35 And after this did Jehoshaphat the king of Judah connect himself with Achazyah the king of Israel, the same who acted very wickedly;
Tedae a hnukah tah Judah manghai Jehoshaphat te Israel manghai Ahaziah neh cong uh rhoi tih a saii khaw poehlip.
36 And he connected himself with him to make ships to go to Tharshish: and they made ships in 'Ezyon-geber.
Te vaengah amah neh amah te sangpho sak ham neh Tarshish la caeh ham patai uh rhoi tih Eziongeber ah sangpho a saii rhoi.
37 Then prophesied Eli'ezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast connected thyself with Achazyahu, the Lord hath broken down thy works. And the ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to go to Tharshish.
Te vaengah Mareshah lamkah Dodavahu capa Eliezer loh Jehoshaphat te a tonghma thil tih, “Ahaziah neh na patai uh rhoi dongah na bibi te BOEIPA loh a phae ni,” a ti nah. Te dongah sangpho te rhek tih Tarshish la caeh ham coeng rhoi voel pawh.
