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 hnukah tah Moab koca rhoek, Ammon koca neh amih taengkah Ammoni lamkah rhoek loh Jehoshaphat taengah caemtloek hamla pawk uh.
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).
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 Jehoshaphat was alarmed, and set himself to seek to YHWH. He proclaimed a fast throughout 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 Judah gathered themselves together, to seek help from YHWH. They came out of all the cities of Judah to seek YHWH.
Te daengah BOEIPA lamkah te tlap hamla Judah rhoek coi uh thae tih Judah khopuei tom lamloh BOEIPA tlap hamla ha pawk.
5 Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of YHWH, before the new court;
Jehoshaphat tah Jerusalem, BOEIPA im, vongup thai hmai kah Judah hlangping lakli ah pai.
6 and he said, "YHWH, 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.
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 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?
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 They lived in it, and have built you a sanctuary in it for your name, saying,
A khuiah kho a sak uh tih a khuiah namah ham neh na ming hamla rhokso a sak uh.
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.'
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 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;
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 look, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit.
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 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."
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 All Judah stood before YHWH, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
Te vaengah Judah boeih neh camoe rhoek khaw, a yuu rhoek khaw a ca rhoek khaw BOEIPA mikhmuh ah pai uh.
14 Then the Spirit of YHWH 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;
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, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you king Jehoshaphat. Thus says YHWH to you, 'Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.
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 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.
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 You will not need to fight this battle. Set yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of YHWH with you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed. Go out against them tomorrow, for YHWH is 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 Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before YHWH, worshipping YHWH.
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 The Levites, of the descendants of the Kohathites and of the descendants of the Korahites, stood up to praise YHWH, the God of Israel, with an exceeding 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 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 YHWH your God, so you will be established. Believe his prophets, and you 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 When he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who should sing to YHWH, and give praise in holy array, as they went out before the army, and say, Give thanks to YHWH; for his loving kindness endures forever.
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 When they began to sing and to praise, YHWH set ambushers against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were struck.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 On the fourth day they assembled themselves in the Valley of Berachah; for there they blessed YHWH: therefore the name of that place was called The Valley of Berachah to 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 they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in their forefront, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for YHWH had made 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 They came to Jerusalem with stringed instruments and harps and trumpets to the house of YHWH.
Jerusalem la a kun vaengah thangpa neh, rhotoeng neh, olueng neh BOEIPA im la kun uh.
29 The fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries, when they heard that YHWH fought against 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 realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; for his God gave him rest all around.
Te dongah a Pathen loh anih te a kaepvai taengah a duem sak tih Jehoshaphat ram khaw mong.
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.
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 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 YHWH.
A napa Asa kah longpuei ah pongpa tih te lamkah te phael pawh. BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem a saii.
33 However the high places were not taken away; neither as yet had the people set their hearts to 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 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.
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 After this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel. The same did 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 joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish; and they made the ships in Ezion 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 Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, "Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, YHWH has destroyed your works." The ships were broken, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
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.
