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.
Bangʼ mano jo-Moab kod jo-Amon kaachiel gi jo-Meun moko nobiro mondo oked gi Jehoshafat.
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.
Jomoko nobiro monyiso Jehoshafat niya, “Oganda lweny maduongʼ moa Edom bironi koa e loka Nam kocha. Gisechopo Hazazon Tamar” (tiende ni, En Gedi).
3 Then became Jehoshaphat afraid, and he directed his face to seek the Lord; and he proclaimed a fast over all Judah.
Jehoshafat nobwok omiyo nokwayo Jehova Nyasaye kendo nochiko jo-Juda duto mondo otwe chiemo.
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.
Jo-Juda duto nobiro kaachiel mondo gikwa Jehova Nyasaye kony, adier negia e mier mag Juda duto mondo gidwar wangʼe.
5 And Jehoshaphat stood forward in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court.
Eka Jehoshafat nochungʼ e nyim oganda mar Juda kod Jerusalem e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye e nyim laru manyien
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.
mowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kwerewa, donge in e Nyasaye mantie e polo? In ema itelone pinyruodhi duto mag ogendini. Teko gi nyalo ni e lweti, kendo onge ngʼato manyalo siri.
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.
Nyasachwa, donge niriembo joma nodak e pinyni ka jo-Israel neno mimiyo nyikwa Ibrahim osiepni pinyni nyaka chiengʼ?
8 And they have dwelt therein, and have built for thee therein a sanctuary for thy name, saying,
Gisedak e pinyni kendo gisegeroni kama ler mar lemo maluongo Nyingi kagiwacho ni,
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.
‘Ka gima rach ogore kuomwa, bed ni en kum gi ligangla kata dera mar tho kata kech, to wabiro chungʼ e nyimi e hekaluni miluongo gi Nyingi kendo wanaywagreni nikech masirani, kendo iniwinjwa mi ireswa.’
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: —
“To koro jo-Amon gi jo-Moab kod jo-Got Seir mane ok iyiene jo-Israel mondo omonj pinygi kane gia Misri; kuom mano ne giweyogi ma ok gitiekogi.
11 And behold, they recompense us, by coming to drive us out of thy inheritance, which thou hast given us to possess.
Neye gima gitimonwa kuom biro mondo giriembwa e gima nimiyowa kaka girkeni marwa.
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].
Nyasachwa, donge dingʼadnegi bura? Wan to waonge kod teko ma wanyalo kedogo kod oganda lweny maduongʼni ma monjowani. Wan ok wangʼeyo gima dwatim, genowa waketo kuomi.”
13 And all Judah were standing before the Lord, also their little ones, their wives, and their sons.
Jo-Juda duto gi mondegi gi nyithindgi kod nyithindgi matindo nochungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
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;
Eka Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nolor kuom Jahaziel wuod Zekaria ma wuod Benaya, ma wuod Jeyel ma wuod Matania ma ja-Lawi kendo nyakwar Asaf kane ochungʼ e dier chokruok.
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.
Nowacho niya, “Chik iti in Ruoth Jehoshafat kaachiel gi jogo duto modak Juda gi Jerusalem! Jehova Nyasaye wachoni kama: ‘Kik ibed gi luoro kendo chunyi kik parre nikech oganda lweny maduongʼni, nimar lweny ok maru, to en mar Nyasaye.
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.
Kiny upangru ka udhi irgi. Gibiro biro ka gitwenyo got ka giluwo Holo mar Ziz kendo ubiro yudogi e giko piny mar kamotuo mar Jeruel.
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.
Ok ochuno ni uked e lwenyni. Kawuru kuondeu, chunguru motegno mondo une loch ma Jehova Nyasaye nomiu, yaye Juda kod Jerusalem. Kik ubed maluor, kendo kik chunyu nyosre. Kiny dhiuru mondo urad kodgi nimar Jehova Nyasaye nobed kodu.’”
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.
Jehoshafat nokulore piny auma kendo jo-Juda duto kod Jerusalem nogoyo chonggi piny e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ka gilame.
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.
Eka jo-Lawi moko, jo-Kohath kod jo-Kora nochungo mopako Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach jo-Israel gi dwol maduongʼ ahinya.
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.
Gokinyi mangʼich negiwuok gidhi e piny Tekoa motwo. Kane giwuok Jehoshafat nochungʼ kawacho niya, “Chikuru itu un jo-Juda kod joma odak Jerusalem! Beduru kod geno kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu eka unukuwo, bende yieuru gi jonabi mage eka unulo.”
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.
Kane osepimo wach gi joge, Jehoshafat noyiero joma onego owerne Jehova Nyasaye mondo gipak berne mokalo apima mar lerne ka gitelo e nyim jolweny ka giwer niya, “Dwokneuru Jehova Nyasaye erokamano, nikech herane osiko nyaka chiengʼ.”
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.
Kane gichako wer kendo pake, Jehova Nyasaye norundogi ma jo-Amon kod jo-Moab kaachiel gi jo-Got Seir manomonjo Juda nochako kedo kendgi giwegi mi nologi.
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.
Jo-Amon gi jo-Moab noriwore mochako kedo kod jo-Got Seir monegogi kendo otiekogi pep. Kane gitieko nego jo-Got Seir, negikonyore kuom tiekore kendgi giwegi.
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.
Kane jo-Juda nobiro kama omanyore gi kama otimo ongoro kendo gingʼiyo oganda lweny maduongʼ, negineno mana ringre joma otho koriere piny kendo ne githo maonge ngʼama notony.
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.
Omiyo Jehoshafat gi joge nodhi mondo giyak mwandu kendo neginwangʼo gige lweny mangʼeny kod lewni kod gik moko ma nengogi tek mangʼeny ma ok neginyal tingʼo duto. Gik miyako ne ngʼeny ahinya mane otieko ndalo adek mondo giyakgi duto.
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.
To chiengʼ mar angʼwen negichokore e Holo mar Beraka kama ne gipakoe Jehova Nyasaye. Ma emomiyo iluonge ni Holo mar Beraka nyaka chil kawuono.
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.
Eka jo-Juda gi jo-Jerusalem duto kotelnegi kod Jehoshafat nodok Jerusalem ka gimor gi ilo nikech Jehova Nyasaye nomiyogi mor kuom loyo wasikgi.
28 And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and with harps and with trumpets unto the house of the Lord.
Negidonjo Jerusalem e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye ka gigoyo nyatiti gi asili kod turumbete.
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.
Luoro mar Nyasaye nomako pinjeruodhi mag pinje kane giwinjo kaka Jehova Nyasaye nokedo gi wasik jo-Israel.
30 So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat had repose, and his God gave him rest all round about.
Kamano pinyruoth Jehoshafat ne nigi kwe nikech Nyasache nomiye yweyo kuonde duto.
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.
Mano e kaka Jehoshafat norito Juda. Ne en ja-higni piero adek gabich kane obedo ruodh Juda kendo norito piny kodak Jerusalem kuom higni piero ariyo gabich. Min mare ne nyinge Azuba nyar Shilhi.
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.
Noluwo yore Asa wuon mare kendo ne ok oweyogi, nimar notimo gima kare e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
33 Nevertheless the high-places were not removed; for the people had not yet directed their heart firmly unto the God of their fathers.
To kata kamano kuonde motingʼore gi malo mag lemo ne ok omuki kendo ji ne pok oketo chunygi kuom Nyasach kweregi.
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.
Gik mamoko manotimore e ndalo loch Jehoshafat aa chakruok nyaka gikogi ondikgi e weche mag ndalo mag Jehu wuod Hanani kaka ochan-gi e kitap ruodhi mag Israel.
35 And after this did Jehoshaphat the king of Judah connect himself with Achazyah the king of Israel, the same who acted very wickedly;
Bangʼe Jehoshafat ruodh Juda notimo winjruok kod Ahazia ruodh Israel manongʼadne bura nikech timbene maricho.
36 And he connected himself with him to make ships to go to Tharshish: and they made ships in 'Ezyon-geber.
Ne giwinjore ni gihondho yiedhi mangʼeny mag loko ohala. Bangʼe kane oselosgi Ezion Geber,
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.
Eliezer wuod Dodavahu ma ja-Maresha nokoro wach marach kuom Jehoshafat kowacho niya, “Nikech isetimo winjruok kod Ahazia, Jehova Nyasaye biro ketho gigo ma iseloso.” Yiedhigo nobarore kendo ne ok ginyal kwangʼ mondo gitim ohala.
