2 Chronicles 20
1 And it came to pass, after this, that the sons of Moab and the sons of Ammon, and, with them, some of the Meunim, came against Jehoshaphat, to battle.
Kana booddee Moʼaabonnii fi Amoononni Miʼuunota tokko tokko wajjin Yehooshaafaaxin loluuf dhufan.
2 And there came [some] and told Jehoshaphat, saying, There is coming against thee, a great multitude from beyond the sea, from Syria, —and lo! they are in Hazazon-tamar, the same, is Engedi.
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 And Jehoshaphat was afraid, and set his face to seek unto Yahweh, —and proclaimed a fast for all Judah.
Yehooshaafaaxis waan akka malee sodaateef Waaqayyoon waammachuuf murteeffate; guutummaa Yihuudaa keessattis sooma labse.
4 And Judah gathered themselves together, to enquire of Yahweh, —even, out of all the cities of Judah, came they in, to seek Yahweh.
Namoonni Yihuudaas gargaarsa Waaqayyoo barbaacha walitti ni qabaman; isaan dhugumaan isa barbaacha magaalaawwan Yihuudaa hunda keessaa ni dhufan.
5 And Jehoshaphat stood, in the convocation of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of Yahweh, —before the new court;
Yehooshaafaaxis mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa oobdii haaraa dura waldaa Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem gidduu dhaabatee
6 and said, O Yahweh, God of our fathers, art not, thou, God in the heavens? and art, thou, not ruling throughout all the kingdoms of the nations? and, in thy hand, [are there not] strength and might? and is there any who, against thee, can stand?
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 Art not, thou, our God, who didst dispossess the inhabitants of this land, from before thy people Israel, —and didst give it unto the seed of Abraham who loved thee, unto times age-abiding?
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 come upon us calamity, the sword of judgment or pestilence or famine, we will stand before this house and before thee, for, thy Name, is in this house, —that we may make outcry unto thee out of our distress, that thou mayest hear and save.
‘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 Now, therefore, lo! the sons of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom thou didst not suffer Israel to invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, —but they turned away 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 yea lo! they, are requiting us, —by coming to drive us out, from thy possession, which thou didst cause 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 bring judgment upon them, seeing that there is, in us, no strength, before this great multitude, that is coming against us, —we, therefore, know not what we shall do, but, unto thee, are our eyes.
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 Yahweh, —also their little ones, their wives and their children.
Namoonni Yihuudaa hundinuu niitota isaanii, ijoollee fi daaʼimman isaanii wajjin fuula Waaqayyoo dura dhadhaabatanii turan.
14 Now, as for Jahaziel son of Zechariah son of Benaiah son of Jeiel son of Mattaniah a Levite, of the sons of Asaph, there came upon him the spirit of Yahweh, in the midst of the convocation:
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, Give ye heed, all Judah and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat! Thus, saith Yahweh unto you. As for you, do not fear nor be dismayed, by reason of this great multitude, for, not yours, is the battle, but, God’s.
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 To-morrow, go ye down against them, for lo! there they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz, —and ye shall find them at the end of the ravine, facing 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 It is not, for you, to fight in this matter, —take your station, stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh with you, O Judah and Jerusalem, do not fear, nor be dismayed, to-morrow, go ye out to meet them, and, Yahweh, 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 Yahweh, prostrating themselves unto Yahweh.
Yehooshaafaax adda isaatiin lafatti gombifame; namoonni Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem hundinuus fuula Waaqayyoo duratti addaan lafatti gombifamanii ni sagadan.
19 And Levites—of the sons of the Kohathites and of the sons of the Korahites, stood up to offer praise unto Yahweh, God of Israel, with an exceedingly loud voice.
Ergasii immoo garee Qohaatii fi Qooraahi keessaa Lewwonni tokko tokko dhaabatanii, sagalee guddaadhaan Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel ni galateeffatan.
20 So they rose early in the morning, and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa, —and, as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, Trust ye in Yahweh your God, and ye shall be trusted, Trust ye in his prophets, and ye shall 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, when he had given counsel unto the people, he appointed such as should sing unto Yahweh, and offer praise with holy adorning, —as they should be going forth before the armed men, that they should be saying, O give thanks unto Yahweh, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
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, when they began to sing and to praise, Yahweh had set liers-in-wait against the sons of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, who were coming 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 Then rose up the sons of Ammon and Moab against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, to devote and to destroy, —and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to cut off, every man his neighbour.
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 So when, Judah, came near the watch-tower of the wilderness, —they turned towards the multitude, and lo! there they were, dead bodies fallen to the earth, with none to escape.
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, when Jehoshaphat and his people came near to plunder the spoil of them, they found among them, in abundance, both riches and dead bodies and precious jewels, and they stripped off for themselves, beyond what they could carry away, —and they were three days plundering the spoil, for great it was.
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 vale of Beracah, for there they blessed Yahweh, —on this account, was the name of that place called The Vale of Beracah—unto 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 turned every man of Judah and Jerusalem, with, Jehoshaphat, at their head, to go again to Jerusalem with joy, —for Yahweh 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 So they came to Jerusalem, with harps and with lyres, and with trumpets, —unto the house of Yahweh.
Isaanis Yerusaalem seenanii baganaa, kiraaraa fi malakata qabatanii gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ni dhaqan.
29 And it came to pass that, the dread of God, was upon all the kingdoms of the countries, -when they heard, that Yahweh had fought against 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 was quiet, —for his God, gave him rest, round about.
Mootummaan Yehooshaafaaxis waan Waaqni isaa karaa hundaan boqonnaa isaaf kenneef nagaadhaan ni jiraate.
31 Thus Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah, —thirty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, and, twenty-five years, reigned he in Jerusalem, and the, name of his mother, was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.
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 Asa, and turned not from it, —doing that which was right, in the eyes of Yahweh.
Innis karuma abbaa isaa Aasaa irra deeme malee isa irraa hin jalʼanne; fuula Waaqayyoo durattis waan qajeelaa hojjete.
33 Howbeit, the high places, were not taken away, —for as yet, the people, had not fixed their heart 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 But, the rest of the story of Jehoshaphat, first and last, lo! there it is written in the story of Jehu son of Hanani, which hath been added to 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 Yet, after this, did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, —he, was lawless in his doings;
Ergasii Yehooshaafaax mootichi Yihuudaa, Ahaaziyaa mootii Israaʼel kan hojiin isaa jibbisiisaa taʼe sana wajjin walii galtee godhate.
36 and he joined with him, to make ships to go unto Tarshish, —and they made ships in Ezion-geber,
Innis dooniiwwan daldalaa hojjechuuf isaan walii gale; isaanis Eziyoon Geberitti dooniiwwan ni hojjechiisan.
37 Then prophesied, Eliezer son of Dodavahu of Mareshah, against Jehoshaphat, saying, —Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, Yahweh hath broken in pieces thy works. So the ships were wrecked, and were not able to go unto Tarshish.
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.
