< 2 Chronicles 20 >

1 It happened after this, that the people of Moab, and the people of Ammon, and with them some of the Meunites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
A MAHOPE iho o keia mau mea, hiki mai la ka Moaba, a me ka Amona, a me lakou pu kekahi poe e ae, aole no ka Amona, e kaua mai ia Iehosapata.
2 Then some came who told Jehoshaphat, saying, "A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea from Edom. Look, they are in Hazazon Tamar" (that is, En Gedi).
Hele mai la kekahi poe a hai mai ia Iehosapata, i mai la, E hiki mai ana i ou la he poe nui, mai kela aoao mai o ke kai mai Suria mai; aia hoi lakou ma Hazezona-tamara, oia o Enegedi.
3 Jehoshaphat was alarmed, and set himself to seek to Jehovah. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
A makau iho la o Iehosapata, a halalo iho la kona maka e imi ia Iehova, a kukala aku la i la hookeai ma Iuda a pau loa.
4 Judah gathered themselves together, to seek help from Jehovah. They came out of all the cities of Judah to seek Jehovah.
A hoakoakoa mai la ka Iuda e imi ia Iehova; noloko mai o na kulanakauhale a pau o Iuda i hele mai ai lakou e imi ia Iehova.
5 Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Jehovah, before the new court;
Alaila, ku iluna o Iehosapata iloko o ka ahakanaka o Iuda a me Ierusalema, iloko o ka hale o Iehova imua o ka pahale hou;
6 and he said, "Jehovah, the God of our fathers, aren't you God in heaven? Aren't you ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in your hand, so that no one is able to withstand you.
Olelo aku la, E Iehova ke Akua o ko makou poe kupuna, aole anei oe ke Akua o ka lani? aole anei oe e noho alii ana maluna o na aupuni a pau o na lahuikanaka, a iloko hoi o kou lima ka mana, a me ka ikaika, i hiki ole i kekahi ke ku e ia oe?
7 Did you not, our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham your friend?
Aole anei oe ko makou Akua, ka mea nana i kipaku i ko keia aina imua o kou poe kanaka o ka Iseraela, a haawi ia mea i ka poe mamo a Aberahama kou mea i aloha ai, i mea mau loa.
8 They lived in it, and have built you a sanctuary in it for your name, saying,
A noho lakou malaila, a kukulu lakou no kou inoa i luakini, me ka i ana aku,
9 'If evil comes on us—the sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine—we will stand before this house, and before you, (for your name is in this house), and cry to you in our affliction, and you will hear and save.'
I ka hiki ana mai o ka mea ino maluna o makou, o ka pahi kaua, o ka hoopaiia mai, o ke ahulau, a o ka wi, a ku makou imua o keia hale, a imua ou, (no ka mea, aia iloko o keia hale kou inoa, ) a kahea aku ia oe i ko makou wa pilikia, alaila e hoolohe mai oe, a e hoola.
10 Now, look, the people of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom you would not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned aside from them, and did not destroy them;
Ano, eia hoi ka Amona, a me ka Moaba, a me ko ka mauna o Seira, ka poe au i haawi ole ai i ka Iseraela e hele io lakou la, i ko lakou hele ana mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, no ia mea, huli lakou mai o lakou aku, aole i luku ia lakou.
11 look, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit.
Eia hoi ko lakou uku ana mai ia makou, hele mai lakou e kipaku mai ia makou mai ko makou ainahooili aku, ka mea au i haawi mai ai ia makou.
12 Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that comes against us; neither know we what to do, but our eyes are on you."
E ko makou Akua e, aole anei oe e hoopai ia lakou? no ka mea, aole o makou mana imua o keia poe nui, ka poe i hele ku e mai ia makou; aole makou i ike i ka mea e pono ai makou ke hana, aka, ia oe ko makou mau maka.
13 All Judah stood before Jehovah, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
A ku imua o Iehova ka Iuda a pau loa, me ko lakou poe uuku, a me ka lakou poe wahine, a me ka lakou poe kamalii.
14 Then the Spirit of Jehovah came on Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly;
Alaila, i ke ku ana o Iahaziela iwaena o ka ahakanaka, kau mai la ka Uhane o Iehova maluna ona, oia ke keiki a Zekaria, ke keiki a Benaia, ke keiki a Matanaia ka Levi, no ka poe mamo a Asapa.
15 and he said, "Listen, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you king Jehoshaphat. Thus says Jehovah to you, 'Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.
Olelo mai la oia, E hoolohe oukou, e ka Iuda a pau, a me ko Ierusalema, a o oe kekahi, e ke alii, e Iehosapata, penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova, Mai makau oukou, aole hopohopo imua o keia poe nui; no ka mea, aole ia oukou ke kaua. i ke Akua no.
16 Tomorrow go down against them. Look, they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz. You shall find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
I ka la apopo e iho ku e oukou io lakou la, aia hoi lakou e pii mai ana i ka pali o Ziza; a e loaa lakou ia oukou ma ke kapa o ke kahawai imua o ka waonahele o Ieruela.
17 You will not need to fight this battle. Set yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of Jehovah with you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed. Go out against them tomorrow, for Jehovah is with you.'"
Aole oukou e kaua i keia manawa, e hoomakaukau oukou, e ku malie, a e nana i ko Iehova hoola ana mai ia oukou, e ka Iuda, a me ko Ierusalema; mai makau oukou, mai hopohopo; i ka la apopo, e hele ku e aku oukou io lakou la. O Iehova pu kekahi me oukou.
18 Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before Jehovah, worshipping Jehovah.
Alaila, kulou iho la o Iehosapata ilalo kona maka i ka honua; a o ka Iuda a pau, a me ko Ierusalema, haule iho la lakou ilalo imua o Iehova, e hoomana aku ia Iehova.
19 The Levites, of the descendants of the Kohathites and of the descendants of the Korahites, stood up to praise Jehovah, the God of Israel, with an exceeding loud voice.
Ku iluna na Levi, no na Kohata, a me na Kora, o hoolea aku ia Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela me ka leo kiekie.
20 They rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Listen to me, Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem. Believe in Jehovah your God, so you will be established. Believe his prophets, and you will prosper."
Ala lakou i ke kakahiaka nui, a hele lakou i ka waonahele o Tekoa; a i ko lakou bele ana aku, ku iluna o Iehosapata, olelo aku la, E hoolohe mai ia'u e ka Iuda, a me ko Ierusalema; e manaoio ia Iehova i ko oukou Akua, i hookupaaia oukou; e manaoio i kana poe kaula, i lanakila oukou.
21 When he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who should sing to Jehovah, and give praise in holy array, as they went out before the army, and say, Give thanks to Jehovah; for his loving kindness endures forever.
A kukakuka pu oia me na kanaka, a hoonoho oia i kekahi poe hoolea mele ia Iehova o hoomaikai aku i ka nani o kona hemolele, i ko lakou hele ana imua o ka poe kaua, i ka i ana aku, E hoolea aku ia Iehova; no ka mea, ua mau loa kona aloha.
22 When they began to sing and to praise, Jehovah set ambushers against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were struck.
A i ka wa o ko lakou hoolea ana, a hoomaikai aku, hoonoho iho la o Iehova i poe hoohalua mahope o na mamo a Amona, a me Moaba, a me ko ka mauna o Seira, i ko lakou hele ku e ana ia Iuda; a ua lukuia lakou.
23 For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, utterly to kill and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, everyone helped to destroy another.
O ka poe mamo a Amona a me ka Moaba, ku e lakou i ko ka mauna o Seira, a luku, a pepehi ia lakou a pau loa, a hoopau lakou i ko Seira; alaila, mokuahana iho la lakou, a pepehi lakou i kekahi i kekahi.
24 When Judah came to the place overlooking the wilderness, they looked at the multitude; and look, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none who escaped.
A hiki ka Iuda i ka halekiai ma ka waonahele, nana aku la i ka lehulehu, aia hoi, na heana o ka poe i haule i ka honua, aole wahi mea pakele.
25 When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their spoil, 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.
A hiki o Iehosapata a me kona poe kanaka e lawe aku i ka waiwai pio, ua loaa ia lakou ka waiwai nui loa ma ka ili o na heana, a me na mea maikai loa, a ua hao iho la lakou ia mau mea no lakou iho, aole pau i ka haliia; a ekolu la o ko lakou hali ana i ka waiwai pio, no ka mea, ua nui loa ia.
26 On the fourth day they assembled themselves in the Valley of Berachah; for there they blessed Jehovah: therefore the name of that place was called The Valley of Berachah to this day.
A i ka po aha, hoakoakoaia lakou ma ke awawa o Beraka; no ka mea, malaila lakou i hoomaikai aku ai ia Iehova; no ia mea, ua kapaia ka inoa o ia wahi, o ke awawa o I Beraka a hiki i keia la.
27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in their forefront, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for Jehovah had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
Alaila, hoi ka Iuda a pau a me ko Ierusalema, a o Iehosapata ka mea mamua, i ka hoi ana i Ierusalema, me ka olioli; no ka mea, ua hoohauoli o Iehova ia lakou maluna o ko lakou poe enemi.
28 They came to Jerusalem with stringed instruments and harps and trumpets to the house of Jehovah.
A hoi mai lakou i Ierusalema me na mea kani, a me na mea ukeke, a me na pu, i ka hale o Iehova.
29 The fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries, when they heard that Jehovah fought against the enemies of Israel.
A kau mai ka weliweli i ke Akua maluna o na aupuni o ka honua, i ko lakou lohe ana, ua kaua aku o Iehova i ka poe enemi o ka Iseraela.
30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; for his God gave him rest all around.
A ua maluhia ke aupuni o Iehosapata, a ua hoomalu mai kona Akua ia ia a puni.
31 Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
A noho alii o Iehosapata maluna o ka Iuda. He kanakolukumamalima makahiki kona i kona hoomaka ana e noho alii, a noho alii ia i na makahiki he iwakaluakumamalima, a o ka inoa o kona makuwahine, o Azuba, ke kaikamahine a Silehi.
32 He walked in the way of Asa his father, and did not turn aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah.
A hele ia ma ka aoao o kona makuakane o Asa, aole i huli mai ia aoao aku; ua hana oia i na mea pololei i na maka o Iehova.
33 However the high places were not taken away; neither as yet had the people set their hearts to the God of their fathers.
Aka, aole i hoohioloia na wahi kiekie: aole hoomakaukau na kanaka i ko lakou mau naau no ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna.
34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, look, they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is inserted in the book of the kings of Israel.
A o ke koena o na hana a Iehosapata, na mea mua, a me na mea hope, aia hoi, ua kakauia iloko o ka buke a Iehu ko keiki a Henani, ka mea i oleloia'i iloko o ka buke o na'lii o ka Iseraela.
35 After this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel. The same did very wickedly:
A mahope aku, hui pu o Iehosapata ke alii o Iuda me Ahazia, ko alii o ka Iseraela, ka mea i hana hewa.
36 and he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish; and they made the ships in Ezion Geber.
Huipu oia me ia e hana i mau moku e holo i Taresa. A hana no laua i mau moku ma Eziona-gebera.
37 Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, "Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, Jehovah has destroyed your works." The ships were broken, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
Alaila, wanana mai la o Eliezera ke keiki a Dodava no Maresa, ia Iehosapata, i mai la, I kou huipu ana me Ahazia, e wawahi auanei o Iehova i ka mea au i hana'i. A naha iho la na moku, aole i hiki ia lakou ke holo i Taresa.
