2 Chronicles 20
1 And it comes to pass after this, the sons of Moab have come in, and the sons of Ammon, and with them of the peoples, to battle against Jehoshaphat.
post haec congregati sunt filii Moab et filii Ammon et cum eis de Ammanitis ad Iosaphat ut pugnarent contra eum
2 And [some] come in and declare [it] to Jehoshaphat, saying, “A great multitude has come against you from beyond the sea, from Aram, and behold, they [are] in Hazezon-Tamar—it [is] En-Gedi.”
veneruntque nuntii et indicaverunt Iosaphat dicentes venit contra te multitudo magna de his locis quae trans mare sunt et de Syria et ecce consistunt in Asasonthamar quae est Engaddi
3 And Jehoshaphat fears, and sets his face to seek for YHWH, and proclaims a fast over all Judah;
Iosaphat autem timore perterritus totum se contulit ad rogandum Dominum et praedicavit ieiunium universo Iuda
4 and Judah is gathered to inquire of YHWH; also, from all the cities of Judah they have come to seek YHWH.
congregatusque Iudas ad precandum Dominum sed et omnes de urbibus suis venerunt ad obsecrandum eum
5 And Jehoshaphat stands in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of YHWH, at the front of the new court,
cumque stetisset Iosaphat in medio coetu Iudae et Hierusalem in domo Domini ante atrium novum
6 and says, “O YHWH, God of our fathers, are You not God in the heavens? Indeed, You are ruling over all kingdoms of the nations, and power and might [are] in Your hand, and there is none with You to station himself.
ait Domine Deus patrum nostrorum tu es Deus in caelo et dominaris cunctis regnis gentium in manu tua est fortitudo et potentia nec quisquam tibi potest resistere
7 Are You not our God? You have dispossessed the inhabitants of this land from before Your people Israel, and give it to the seed of Your friend Abraham for all time,
nonne tu Deus noster interfecisti omnes habitatores terrae huius coram populo tuo Israhel et dedisti eam semini Abraham amici tui in sempiternum
8 and they dwell in it, and build a sanctuary in it for You, for Your Name, saying,
habitaveruntque in ea et extruxerunt in illa sanctuarium nomini tuo dicentes
9 If evil comes on us—sword, judgment, and pestilence, and famine—we stand before this house, and before You, for Your Name [is] in this house, and cry to You out of our distress, and You hear and save.
si inruerint super nos mala gladius iudicii pestilentia et fames stabimus coram domo hac in conspectu tuo in qua invocatum est nomen tuum et clamabimus ad te in tribulationibus nostris et exaudies salvosque facies
10 And now, behold, sons of Ammon, and Moab, and Mount Seir, whom You did not grant to Israel to go in against in their coming out of the land of Egypt, for they turned aside from off them and did not destroy them,
nunc igitur ecce filii Ammon et Moab et mons Seir per quos non concessisti Israheli ut transirent quando egrediebantur de Aegypto sed declinaverunt ab eis et non interfecerunt illos
11 and behold, they are repaying to us—to come to drive us out of Your possession that You have caused us to possess.
e contrario agunt et nituntur eicere nos de possessione quam tradidisti nobis
12 O our God, do You not execute judgment on them? For there is no power in us before this great multitude that has come against us, and we do not know what we do, but our eyes [are] on You.”
Deus noster ergo non iudicabis eos in nobis quidem non tanta est fortitudo ut possimus huic multitudini resistere quae inruit super nos sed cum ignoremus quid agere debeamus hoc solum habemus residui ut oculos nostros dirigamus ad te
13 And all Judah is standing before YHWH, also their infants, their wives, and their sons.
omnis vero Iuda stabat coram Domino cum parvulis et uxoribus et liberis suis
14 And the Spirit of YHWH has been on Jahaziel, son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly,
erat autem Hiazihel filius Zacchariae filii Banaiae filii Hiehihel filii Mathaniae Levites de filiis Asaph super quem factus est spiritus Domini in medio turbae
15 and he says, “Attend, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and O King Jehoshaphat, Thus said YHWH to you: You do not fear, nor be afraid of the face of this great multitude, for the battle [is] not for you, but for God.
et ait adtendite omnis Iuda et qui habitatis Hierusalem et tu rex Iosaphat haec dicit Dominus vobis nolite timere nec paveatis hanc multitudinem non est enim vestra pugna sed Dei
16 Tomorrow, go down against them, behold, they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz, and you have found them in the end of the valley, the front of the wilderness of Jeruel.
cras descendetis contra eos ascensuri enim sunt per clivum nomine Sis et invenietis illos in summitate torrentis qui est contra solitudinem Hieruhel
17 [It is] not for you to fight in this; station yourselves, stand, and see the salvation of YHWH with you, O Judah and Jerusalem—do not be afraid nor fear—tomorrow go out before them, and YHWH [is] with you.”
non eritis vos qui dimicabitis sed tantummodo confidenter state et videbitis auxilium Domini super vos o Iuda et Hierusalem nolite timere nec paveatis cras egredimini contra eos et Dominus erit vobiscum
18 And Jehoshaphat bows—face to the earth—and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem have fallen before YHWH, to bow themselves to YHWH.
Iosaphat ergo et Iuda et omnes habitatores Hierusalem ceciderunt proni in terram coram Domino et adoraverunt eum
19 And the Levites, of the sons of the Kohathites, and of the sons of the Korahites, rise to give praise to YHWH, God of Israel, with a loud voice on high.
porro Levitae de filiis Caath et de filiis Core laudabant Dominum Deum Israhel voce magna in excelsum
20 And they rise early in the morning, and go out to the wilderness of Tekoa, and in their going out Jehoshaphat has stood and says, “Hear me, O Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, remain steadfast in your God YHWH, and be steadfast; remain steadfast in His prophets and prosper.”
cumque mane surrexissent egressi sunt per desertum Thecuae profectisque eis stans Iosaphat in medio eorum dixit audite me Iuda et omnes habitatores Hierusalem credite in Domino Deo vestro et securi eritis credite prophetis eius et cuncta evenient prospera
21 And he takes counsel with the people, and appoints singers for YHWH, and those giving praise for the honor of holiness, in the going out before the armed [men], and saying, “Give thanks to YHWH, for His kindness [is] for all time.”
deditque consilium populo et statuit cantores Domini ut laudarent eum in turmis suis et antecederent exercitum ac voce consona dicerent confitemini Domino quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius
22 And at the time they have begun with singing and praise, YHWH has put ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who are coming in to Judah, and they are struck,
cumque coepissent laudes canere vertit Dominus insidias eorum in semet ipsos filiorum scilicet Ammon et Moab et montis Seir qui egressi fuerant ut pugnarent contra Iudam et percussi sunt
23 and the sons of Ammon stand up, and Moab, against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, to devote and to destroy, and at their finishing with the inhabitants of Seir, they helped, a man against his neighbor, to destroy.
namque filii Ammon et Moab consurrexerunt adversum habitatores montis Seir ut interficerent et delerent eos cumque hoc opere perpetrassent etiam in semet ipsos versi mutuis concidere vulneribus
24 And Judah has come to the watchtower in the wilderness, and they look toward the multitude, and behold, they [are] carcasses fallen to the earth, and none [had] an escape,
porro Iudas cum venisset ad speculam quae respicit solitudinem vidit procul omnem late regionem plenam cadaveribus nec superesse quemquam qui necem potuisset evadere
25 and Jehoshaphat comes in, and his people, to seize their spoil, and they find among them, in abundance, both goods and carcasses, and desirable vessels, and they take spoil for themselves without prohibition, and they are seizing the spoil [for] three days, for it [is] abundant.
venit ergo Iosaphat et omnis populus cum eo ad detrahenda spolia mortuorum inveneruntque inter cadavera variam supellectilem vestes quoque et vasa pretiosissima et diripuerunt ita ut omnia portare non possent nec per tres dies spolia auferre pro praedae magnitudine
26 And on the fourth day they have been assembled at the Valley of Blessing, for there they blessed YHWH: therefore they have called the name of that place, “Valley of Blessing,” to this day.
die autem quarto congregati sunt in valle Benedictionis etenim quoniam ibi benedixerant Domino vocaverunt locum illum vallis Benedictionis usque in praesentem diem
27 And they return, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat at their head, to go back to Jerusalem with joy, for YHWH has made them rejoice over their enemies.
reversusque est omnis vir Iuda et habitatores Hierusalem et Iosaphat ante eos in Hierusalem cum laetitia magna eo quod dedisset eis Dominus gaudium de inimicis suis
28 And they come to Jerusalem with psalteries, and with harps, and with trumpets, to the house of YHWH.
ingressique sunt Hierusalem cum psalteriis et citharis et tubis in domum Domini
29 And there is a fear of God on all kingdoms of the lands in their hearing that YHWH has fought with the enemies of Israel,
inruit autem pavor Domini super universa regna terrarum cum audissent quod pugnasset Dominus contra inimicos Israhel
30 and the kingdom of Jehoshaphat is quiet, and his God gives rest to him all around.
quievitque regnum Iosaphat et praebuit ei Deus pacem per circuitum
31 And Jehoshaphat reigns over Judah, a son of thirty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
regnavit igitur Iosaphat super Iudam et erat triginta quinque annorum cum regnare coepisset viginti autem et quinque annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Azuba filia Selachi
32 And he walks in the way of his father Asa, and has not turned aside from it, to do that which is right in the eyes of YHWH.
et ambulavit in via patris sui Asa nec declinavit ab ea faciens quae placita erant coram Domino
33 Only, the high places have not been removed, and still the people have not prepared their heart for the God of their fathers.
verumtamen excelsa non abstulit et adhuc populus non direxerat cor suum ad Dominum Deum patrum suorum
34 And the rest of the matters of Jehoshaphat, the first and the last, behold, they are written among the matters of Jehu son of Hanani, who has been mentioned on the scroll of the kings of Israel.
reliqua autem gestorum Iosaphat priorum et novissimorum scripta sunt in verbis Hieu filii Anani quae digessit in libro regum Israhel
35 And after this Jehoshaphat king of Judah has joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel (he did wickedly in doing [this]),
post haec iniit amicitias Iosaphat rex Iuda cum Ochozia rege Israhel cuius opera fuerunt impiissima
36 and he joins him with himself to make ships to go to Tarshish, and they make ships in Ezion-Geber,
et particeps fuit ut facerent naves quae irent in Tharsis feceruntque classem in Asiongaber
37 and Eliezer son of Dodavah, of Mareshah, prophesies against Jehoshaphat, saying, “For your joining yourself with Ahaziah, YHWH has broken up your works”; and the ships are broken, and have not retained [power] to go to Tarshish.
prophetavit autem Eliezer filius Dodoau de Maresa ad Iosaphat dicens quia habuisti foedus cum Ochozia percussit Dominus opera tua contritaeque sunt naves nec potuerunt ire in Tharsis
