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.
Kana booddee Moʼaabonnii fi Amoononni Miʼuunota tokko tokko wajjin Yehooshaafaaxin loluuf dhufan.
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.
Namoonni tokko tokkos dhufanii, “Waraanni akka malee guddaan isaa Edoom gama Galaanaatii sitti dhufaa jira. Duulli kunis kunoo Een Gaadii lafa Hazezoon Taamaar jedhamu gaʼee jira” jedhanii Yehooshaafaaxitti himan.
3 Then became Jehoshaphat afraid, and he directed his face to seek the Lord; and he proclaimed a fast over all Judah.
Yehooshaafaaxis waan akka malee sodaateef Waaqayyoon waammachuuf murteeffate; guutummaa Yihuudaa keessattis sooma labse.
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.
Namoonni Yihuudaas gargaarsa Waaqayyoo barbaacha walitti ni qabaman; isaan dhugumaan isa barbaacha magaalaawwan Yihuudaa hunda keessaa ni dhufan.
5 And Jehoshaphat stood forward in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court.
Yehooshaafaaxis mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa oobdii haaraa dura waldaa Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem gidduu dhaabatee
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.
akkana jedhe: “Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa abbootii keenyaa, ati Waaqa samii keessa jiraattu mitii? Ati mootummoota sabootaa hunda bulchita; humnii fi jabinni si harka jiru; namni siin mormuu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
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.
Yaa Waaqa keenya, ati jiraattota biyya kanaa fuula saba kee Israaʼel duraa baaftee biyyattii bara baraan sanyiiwwan Abrahaam michuu kee sanaaf hin kenninee?
8 And they have dwelt therein, and have built for thee therein a sanctuary for thy name, saying,
Isaanis biyya sana keessa jiraatanii Maqaa keetiif mana qulqullummaa ni ijaaran; akkanas jedhan:
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.
‘Yoo wanni hamaan nutti dhufe, yoo goraadeen, murtiin yookaan dhaʼichi yookaan beelli nutti dhufe, nu fuula kee dura mana qulqullummaa kan Maqaa keetiin waamamu kana dura dhaabannee dhiphina keenya keessatti sitti iyyanna; atis nu dhageessee nu oolchitta.’
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: —
“Amma garuu namoonni Amoon, kan Moʼaabii fi kan Gaara Seeʼiir kanneen ati akka Israaʼeloonni yeroo Gibxii dhufanitti isaan hin tuqne gootee akkasiin badiisa oolan sun as jiru.
11 And behold, they recompense us, by coming to drive us out of thy inheritance, which thou hast given us to possess.
Kunoo akka isaan biyya ati dhaala gootee nuu kennite keessaa nu baasuudhaan galata keenya nuu deebisuuf dhufan ilaali.
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].
Yaa Waaqa keenya ati isaanitti hin murtuu? Nu waraana guddaa nutti dhufe kana of irraa deebisuudhaaf humna hin qabnu. Nu waan goonu hin beeknu; iji keenya garuu sirra jira.”
13 And all Judah were standing before the Lord, also their little ones, their wives, and their sons.
Namoonni Yihuudaa hundinuu niitota isaanii, ijoollee fi daaʼimman isaanii wajjin fuula Waaqayyoo dura dhadhaabatanii turan.
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;
Yahiziiʼeel ilma Zakkaariyaas ilma Benaayaa, ilma Yeʼiiʼeel ilma Mataan Lewwicha sanyii Asaaf sana utuma inni waldaa keessa dhabatuu Hafuurri Waaqayyoo isa irra buʼe.
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.
Innis akkana jedhe; “Yehooshaafaax yaa mootii, warri Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem keessa jiraattan hundinuu dhagaʼaa! Waaqayyo akkana isiniin jedha: ‘Isin sababii waraana guddaa kanaatiif jettanii hin sodaatinaa yookaan abdii hin kutatinaa. Lolli kun kan Waaqaa ti malee kan keessan miti.
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.
Bor isaanitti gad buʼaa. Isaan karaa malkaa Ziizi ol baʼu; isin immoo gammoojjii Yiruuʼeel keessatti qarqara sululichaa irratti isaan argattu.
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.
Lola kana loluu isin hin barbaachisu. Isin iddoo iddoo keessan qabadhaa; yaa Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem jabaadhaa dhaabadhaatii moʼannoo Waaqayyo isiniif kennu ilaalaa. Hin sodaatinaa; abdiis hin kutatinaa. Bor isaanitti baʼaa; Waaqayyo isin wajjin dhaabata.’”
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.
Yehooshaafaax adda isaatiin lafatti gombifame; namoonni Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem hundinuus fuula Waaqayyoo duratti addaan lafatti gombifamanii ni sagadan.
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.
Ergasii immoo garee Qohaatii fi Qooraahi keessaa Lewwonni tokko tokko dhaabatanii, sagalee guddaadhaan Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel ni galateeffatan.
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.
Isaanis guyyaa itti aanu ganamaan kaʼanii gammoojjii Teqooʼaatti ni qajeelan. Yehooshaafaaxis akkuma isaan baʼaniin dhaabatee, “Namoonni Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem na dhaggeeffadhaa! Isin ni jabaattuutii Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan amanadhaa; raajota isaa illee amanaa isin ni milkooftuutii” jedhe.
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.
Yehooshaafaax erga namoota wajjin mariʼatee booddee akka isaan loltoota dura deemanii, “Waaqayyoon galateeffadhaa; jaalalli isaa bara baraan jiraataatii” jechaa Waaqayyoon faarfatanii sababii ulfina qulqullummaa isaatiif isa leellisaniif faarfattoota muude.
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.
Akkuma isaan faarfachuu fi galateeffachuu jalqabaniinis Waaqayyo namoota Amoon kan Moʼaabii fi kan Gaara Seeʼiir kanneen Yihuudaatti duulan sana dura waraana riphee eeggatu tokko ni kaaʼe; isaanis ni moʼataman.
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.
Namoonni Amoonii fi Moʼaab namoota Tulluu Seeʼiir irraa dhufan guutumaan guutuutti barbadeessuudhaaf itti kaʼan. Isaanis erga namoota Seeʼiir dhufan sana fixanii booddee deebiʼanii wal fixan.
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.
Namoonni Yihuudaas yommuu iddoo gara gammoojjiitti garagalee jiru gaʼanii waraana guddaa sana ilaalanitti reeffa lafatti kufe qofa argan; namni tokko iyyuu hin miliqne.
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.
Kanaafuu Yehooshaafaaxii fi namoonni isaa boojuu isaanii guurrachuu dhaqan; isaanis miʼa lolaa hedduu fi uffata akkasumas miʼoota gatii guddaa baasan kan guurratanii fixuu hin dandeenye achitti ni argatan. Boojuun argames waan akka malee baayʼee tureef walitti qabuuf bultii sadii fudhate.
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.
Bultii afuraffaatti lafa itti Waaqayyoof galata dhiʼeessan sana Sulula Beraakaa keessatti walitti qabaman. Kanaafuu iddoon suni hamma harʼaatti Sulula Beraakaa jedhamee waamama.
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.
Namoonni Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem sababii Waaqayyo waan isaan ittiin diinota isaanii irratti gammadan isaaniif kenneef Yehooshaafaaxiin hoogganamanii gammachuudhaan Yerusaalemitti deebiʼan.
28 And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and with harps and with trumpets unto the house of the Lord.
Isaanis Yerusaalem seenanii baganaa, kiraaraa fi malakata qabatanii gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ni dhaqan.
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.
Mootummoonni biyyoota hundaas yommuu akka itti Waaqayyo diinota Israaʼel lole dhagaʼanitti Waaqa sodaachuun isaan qabate.
30 So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat had repose, and his God gave him rest all round about.
Mootummaan Yehooshaafaaxis waan Waaqni isaa karaa hundaan boqonnaa isaaf kenneef nagaadhaan ni jiraate.
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.
Akkasiin Yehooshaafaax mootii taʼee Yihuudaa ni bulche. Inni yeroo mootii Yihuudaa taʼetti nama umuriin isaa waggaa soddomii shan ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa digdamii shan ni bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Azuubaa ture; isheenis intala Shilhii turte.
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.
Innis karuma abbaa isaa Aasaa irra deeme malee isa irraa hin jalʼanne; fuula Waaqayyoo durattis waan qajeelaa hojjete.
33 Nevertheless the high-places were not removed; for the people had not yet directed their heart firmly unto the God of their fathers.
Taʼus iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa hin diigamne ture; namoonnis qalbii isaanii gara Waaqa abbootii isaaniitti hin deebine ture.
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.
Wantoonni bara mootummaa Yehooshaafaax keessa jalqabaa hamma dhumaatti hojjetaman kanneen biraa seenaa Yehuu ilma Hanaanii kan kitaaba mootota Israaʼel keessatti galmeeffame sana keessatti barreeffamaniiru.
35 And after this did Jehoshaphat the king of Judah connect himself with Achazyah the king of Israel, the same who acted very wickedly;
Ergasii Yehooshaafaax mootichi Yihuudaa, Ahaaziyaa mootii Israaʼel kan hojiin isaa jibbisiisaa taʼe sana wajjin walii galtee godhate.
36 And he connected himself with him to make ships to go to Tharshish: and they made ships in 'Ezyon-geber.
Innis dooniiwwan daldalaa hojjechuuf isaan walii gale; isaanis Eziyoon Geberitti dooniiwwan ni hojjechiisan.
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.
Eliiʼezer raajichi ilmi Doodaawaahuu namichi Maareeshaa sun, “Sababii ati Ahaaziyaa wajjin walii galtee godhatteef Waaqayyo hojii kee ni diiga” jedhee Yehooshaafaaxiin mormee raajii ni dubbate. Dooniiwwanis ni caccaban; gara Tarshiishis dhaquu hin dandeenye.
