2 Tarihi 20
1 Bayan wannan, Mowabawa da Ammonawa tare da waɗansu Meyunawa suka zo su yaƙi Yehoshafat.
Now after this, the children of Moab and the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Meunim, made war against Jehoshaphat.
2 Sai waɗansu mutane suka zo suka faɗa wa Yehoshafat, “Ga babban runduna tana zuwa a kanka daga Edom, daga ƙetaren Teku, daga Aram. Ta ma kai Hazazon Tamar” (wato, En Gedi).
And they came to Jehoshaphat with the news, saying, A great army is moving against you from Edom across the sea; and now they are in Hazazon-tamar (which is En-gedi).
3 A firgice, Yehoshafat ya yanke shawara yă nemi nufin Ubangiji, ya kuma yi shelar azumi a dukan Yahuda.
Then Jehoshaphat, in his fear, went to the Lord for directions, and gave orders all through Judah for the people to go without food.
4 Mutanen Yahuda suka taru gaba ɗaya don su nemi taimako daga wurin Ubangiji, tabbatacce suka fito daga kowane garin Yahuda don su neme shi.
And Judah came together to make prayer for help from the Lord; from every town of Judah they came to give worship to the Lord.
5 Sa’an nan Yehoshafat ya miƙe tsaye a taron Yahuda da Urushalima a haikalin Ubangiji a sabon filin
And Jehoshaphat took his place in the meeting of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord in front of the new open space,
6 ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji Allah na kakanninmu, ba kai ne Allah wanda yake sama ba? Kana mulki a bisa dukan mulkokin ƙasashe. Iko da girma suna a hannunka, kuma ba wanda zai iya tsayayya da kai.
And said, O Lord, the God of our fathers, are you not God in heaven? are you not ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? and in your hands are power and strength so that no one is able to keep his place against you.
7 Ya Allahnmu, ba kai ba ne ka kore mazaunan wannan ƙasa a gaban mutanenka Isra’ila ka kuma ba da ita har abada ga zuriyar Ibrahim abokinka?
Did you not, O Lord our God, after driving out the people of this land before your people Israel, give it to the seed of Abraham, your friend, for ever?
8 Sun yi zama a cikinta suka kuma yi gina wuri mai tsarki a cikinta domin Sunanka cewa,
And they made it their living-place, building there a holy house for your name, and saying,
9 ‘In masifa ta zo mana, ko takobin hukunci, ko annoba ko yunwa, za mu tsaya a gabanka a gaban wannan haikalin da yake ɗauke da Sunanka, mu kuma yi kuka gare ka cikin azaba, za ka kuwa ji mu, ka cece mu.’
If evil comes on us, the sword, or punishment, or disease, or need of food, we will come to this house and to you, (for your name is in this house, ) crying to you in our trouble, and you will give us salvation in answer to our cry.
10 “Yanzu kuma ga mutanen Ammon, da na Mowab, da na Dutsen Seyir, waɗanda ka hana Isra’ilawa su kai musu yaƙi sa’ad da suka fito daga ƙasar Masar, su ne mutanen da Isra’ila suka ƙyale, ba su hallaka su ba.
And now, see, the children of Ammon and Moab and the people of Mount Seir, whom you kept Israel from attacking when they came out of Egypt, so that turning to one side they did not send destruction on them:
11 Yau ga yadda suke so su biya mu. Su suke so su kore mu daga ƙasar da ka ba mu gādo.
See now, how as our reward they have come to send us out of your land which you have given us as our heritage.
12 Ya Allahnmu, ba za ka hukunta su ba? Gama ba mu da ƙarfin fuskantar wannan babbar rundunar da take so ta yaƙe mu. Ba mu san abin da za mu yi ba, mu dai mun zuba maka ido.”
O our God, will you not be their judge? for our strength is not equal to this great army which is coming against us; and we are at a loss what to do: but our eyes are on you.
13 Dukan mazan Yahuda, tare da matansu da yaransu da ƙananansu, suka tsaya a gaban Ubangiji.
And all Judah were waiting before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
14 Sa’an nan Ruhun Ubangiji ya sauko a kan Yahaziyel ɗan Zakariya, ɗan Benahiya, ɗan Yehiyel, ɗan Mattaniya, wani Balawe kuma zuriyar Asaf, yayinda yake tsaye a cikin taron.
Then, before all the meeting, the spirit of the Lord came on Jahaziel, the son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, a Levite and one of the family of Asaph;
15 Ya ce, “Saurara, Sarki Yehoshafat da dukan waɗanda suke zama a Yahuda da Urushalima! Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce muku, ‘Kada ku ji tsoro ko ku fid da zuciya saboda wannan babbar runduna. Gama yaƙin ba naku ba ne, amma na Allah.
And he said, Give ear, O Judah, and you people of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat: the Lord says to you, Have no fear and do not be troubled on account of this great army; for the fight is not yours but God's.
16 Gobe ku fito ku gangara ku yaƙe su. Za su yi ta haurawa ta Mashigin Ziz, ku kuwa za ku same su a ƙarshen kwari a Hamadan Yeruwel.
Go down against them tomorrow: see, they are coming up by the slope of Ziz; at the end of the valley, before the waste land of Jeruel, you will come face to face with them.
17 Ba lalle ba ne ku yi wannan yaƙi. Ku dai, ku ja dāgā, ku tsaya kurum ku ga nasarar da Ubangiji zai ba ku, ya Yahuda da Urushalima. Kada ku ji tsoro; kada ku karai. Ku fito don ku fuskance su gobe, Ubangiji kuwa zai kasance tare ku.’”
There will be no need for you to take up arms in this fight; put yourselves in position, and keep where you are, and you will see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: have no fear and do not be troubled: go out against them tomorrow, for the Lord is with you.
18 Yehoshafat ya rusuna da fuskarsa har ƙasa, dukan mutanen Yahuda da Urushalima suka fāɗi rubda ciki suka yi sujada a gaban Ubangiji.
Then Jehoshaphat went down with his face to the earth, and all Judah and the people of Jerusalem gave worship to the Lord, falling down before him.
19 Sa’an nan waɗansu Lawiyawa daga Kohatawa da Korayawa suka tashi tsaye suka yabe Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, da babbar murya sosai.
And the Levites, the children of the Kohathites and the Korahites, got to their feet and gave praise to the Lord, the God of Israel, with a loud voice.
20 Da sassafe suka tashi suka nufi Hamadan Tekowa. Yayinda suka kama hanya, Yehoshafat ya tsaya ya ce, “Ku saurare ni, Yahuda da mutanen Urushalima! Ku amince da Ubangiji Allahnku za a kuwa kafa ku; ku amince da annabawansa za ku kuwa yi nasara.”
And early in the morning they got up and went out to the waste land of Tekoa: and when they were going out, Jehoshaphat took his station and said to them, Give ear to me, O Judah and you people of Jerusalem: have faith in the Lord your God and you will be safe; have faith in his prophets and all will go well for you.
21 Bayan suka yi shawara tare da shugabanni, sai ya zaɓi mutanen da za su ja gaban sojoji suna waƙa ga Ubangiji suna yabonsa saboda tsarkinsa suna cewa, “Ku yi godiya ga Ubangiji, gama ƙaunarsa dawwammamiya ce har abada.”
And after discussion with the people, he put in their places those who were to make melody to the Lord, praising him in holy robes, while they went at the head of the army, and saying, May the Lord be praised, for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
22 Da suka fara waƙa, suna kuma yabo, sai Ubangiji ya kai hari a kan mutanen Ammon da Mowab da Dutsen Seyir, waɗanda suka kawo hari a Yahuda, aka kuwa ci su da yaƙi.
And at the first notes of song and praise the Lord sent a surprise attack against the children of Ammon and Moab and the people of Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were overcome.
23 Mutanen Ammon da Mowab suka tasar wa mazaunan Dutsen Seyir, suka hallaka su ƙaƙaf. Sa’ad da suka karkashe mazaunan Seyir sai suka fāɗa wa juna, suka yi ta hallaka juna.
And the children of Ammon and Moab made an attack on the people of Mount Seir with a view to their complete destruction; and when they had put an end to the people of Seir, everyman's hand was turned against his neighbour for his destruction.
24 Sa’ad da mutanen Yahuda suka zo wurin da yake fuskantar hamada, suka duba ta wajen babban rundunar, sai suka ga gawawwaki birjik a ƙasa; babu wani wanda ya kuɓuta.
And Judah came to the watchtower of the waste land, and looking in the direction of the army, they saw only dead bodies stretched on the earth; no living man was to be seen.
25 Sa’ad da Yehoshafat da jama’arsa suka je kwasar ganima, sai suka sami shanu masu yawan gaske, da kayayyaki, da tufafi, da abubuwa masu daraja, waɗanda suka yi ta kwasa har suka gaji. Kwana uku suka yi suna kwasar ganimar saboda yawanta.
And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their goods from them, they saw beasts in great numbers, and wealth and clothing and things of value, more than they were able to take away; all this they took for themselves, and they were three days getting it away, there was so much.
26 A rana ta huɗu sai suka taru a Kwarin Beraka, inda suka yabi Ubangiji. Wannan ne ya sa ake kiransa Kwarin Beraka har wa yau.
On the fourth day they all came together in the Valley of Blessing, and there they gave blessing to the Lord; for which cause that place has been named the Valley of Blessing to this day.
27 Sa’an nan Yehoshafat ya jagoranci dukan mutanen Yahuda da Urushalima suka dawo da farin ciki zuwa Urushalima, gama Ubangiji ya ba su dalilin farin ciki a kan abokan gābansu.
Then all the men of Judah and Jerusalem went back, with Jehoshaphat at their head, coming back to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had made them glad over their haters.
28 Suka shiga Urushalima suka shiga haikalin Ubangiji da kiɗin molaye da sarewa da kuma garayu.
So they came to Jerusalem with corded instruments and wind-instruments into the house of the Lord.
29 Tsoron Allah ya kama dukan mulkokin ƙasashe sa’ad da suka ji yadda Ubangiji ya yi yaƙi a kan abokan gāban Isra’ila.
And the fear of God came on all the kingdoms of the lands, when they had news of how the Lord made war on those who came against Israel.
30 Mulkin Yehoshafat kuwa ya zauna lafiya, gama Allahnsa ya ba shi hutu a kowane gefe.
So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for the Lord gave him rest on every side.
31 Ta haka Yehoshafat ya yi mulki a bisa Yahuda. Yana da shekara talatin da biyar sa’ad da ya zama sarkin Yahuda, ya kuma yi mulki a Urushalima shekara ashirin da biyar. Sunan mahaifiyarsa Azuba ce,’yar Shilhi.
And Jehoshaphat was king over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling for twenty-five years in Jerusalem: his mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
32 Ya yi tafiya a hanyoyin mahaifinsa Asa bai kuwa kauce daga gare su ba; ya yi abin da yake daidai a gaban Ubangiji.
He went in the ways of his father Asa, not turning away, but doing right in the eyes of the Lord.
33 Duk da haka ba a kawar da masujadai kan tudu ba, domin har yanzu mutanen ba su tsayar da zukatansu ga Allahn kakanninsu ba.
The high places, however, were not taken away, and the hearts of the people were still not true to the God of their fathers.
34 Sauran ayyukan mulkin Yehoshafat, daga farko zuwa ƙarshe, an rubuta su a tarihin Yehu ɗan Hanani, waɗanda aka rubuta a littafin sarakunan Isra’ila.
Now as for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, they are recorded in the words of Jehu, the son of Hanani, which were put in the book of the kings of Israel.
35 Daga baya, Yehoshafat sarkin Yahuda ya haɗa kai da Ahaziya sarkin Isra’ila, wanda yake da laifin mugunta.
After this Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became friends with Ahaziah, king of Israel, who did much evil:
36 Ya yarda da shi su gina jiragen ruwan kasuwanci. Bayan aka gina waɗannan a Eziyon Geber,
Together they made ships to go to Tarshish, building them in Ezion-geber.
37 Eliyezer ɗan Dodabahu na Maresha ya yi annabci a kan Yehoshafat cewa, “Domin ka haɗa kai da Ahaziya, Ubangiji zai hallaka abin da ka yi.” Jiragen ruwan kuwa suka farfashe, ba a kuwa iya sa su je kasuwanci ba.
Then the word of Eliezer the prophet, the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah, came against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you have let yourself be joined with Ahaziah, the Lord has sent destruction on your works. And the ships were broken and were not able to go to Tarshish.
