And there came messengers, and told Josaphat, saying: There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea, and out of Syria, and behold they are in Asasonthamar, which is Engaddi.

And Josaphat stood in the midst of the assembly of Juda, and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord before the new court,
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 God of our fathers, thou art God in heaven, and rulest over all the kingdoms and nations, in thy hand is strength and power, and no one can resist thee.
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?
Didst not thou our God kill all the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?
8 Sun yi zama a cikinta suka kuma yi gina wuri mai tsarki a cikinta domin Sunanka cewa,
And they dwelt in it, and built in it a sanctuary to thy name, 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 evils fall upon us, the sword of judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we will stand in thy presence before this house, in which thy name is called upon: and we will cry to thee in our afflictions, and thou wilt hear, and save us.
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.
Now therefore behold the children of Ammon, and of Moab, and mount Seir, through whose lands thou didst not allow Israel to pass, when they came out of Egypt, but they turned aside from them, and slew them not,
11 Yau ga yadda suke so su biya mu. Su suke so su kore mu daga ƙasar da ka ba mu gādo.
Do the contrary, and endeavour to cast us out of the possession which thou hast delivered to us.
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, wilt thou not then judge them? as for us we have not strength enough, to be able to resist this multitude, which cometh violently upon us. But as we know not what to do, we can only turn our eyes to thee.

And Jahaziel the son of Zacharias, the son of Banaias, the son of Jehiel, the son of Mathanias, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, was there, upon whom the spirit of the Lord came in the midst of the multitude,
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: Attend ye, all Juda, and you that dwell in Jerusalem, and thou king Josaphat: Thus saith the Lord to you: Fear ye not, and be not dismayed at this multitude: for the battle 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.
Tomorrow you shall go down against them: for they will come up by the ascent named Sis, and you shall find them at the head of the torrent, which is over against the wilderness of Jeruel.
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.’”
It shall not be you that shall fight, but only stand with confidence, and you shall see the help of the Lord over you, O Juda, and Jerusalem: fear ye not, nor be you dismayed: tomorrow you shall go out against them, and the Lord will be with you.

And the Levites of the sons of Caath, and of the sons of Core praised the Lord the God of Israel with a loud voice, on high.
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 they rose early in the morning, and went out through the desert of Thecua: and as they were marching, Josaphat standing in the midst of them, said: Hear me, ye men of Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be secure: believe his prophets, and all things shall succeed well.
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.”

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 when they began to sing praises, the Lord turned their ambushments upon themselves, that is to say, of the children of Ammon, and of Moab, and of mount Seir, who were come out to fight against Juda, and they were slain.

For the children of Ammon, and of Moab, rose up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, to kill and destroy them: and when they had made an end of them, they turned also against one another, and destroyed one another.
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 when Juda came to the watch tower, that looketh toward the desert, they saw afar off all the country, for a great space, full of dead bodies, and that no one was left that could escape death.
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.
Then Josaphat came, and all the people with him to take away the spoils of the dead, and they found among the dead bodies, stuff of various kinds, and garments, and most precious vessels: and they took them for themselves, insomuch that they could not carry all, nor in three days take away the spoils, the booty was so great.

28 Suka shiga Urushalima suka shiga haikalin Ubangiji da kiɗin molaye da sarewa da kuma garayu.
And they came into Jerusalem with psalteries, and harps, and trumpets into the house of the Lord.

And the fear of the Lord fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel.
30 Mulkin Yehoshafat kuwa ya zauna lafiya, gama Allahnsa ya ba shi hutu a kowane gefe.
And the kingdom of Josaphat was quiet, and God gave him peace round about.
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 Josaphat reigned over Juda, and he was five and thirty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned five and twenty years in Jerusalem: and the name of his mother was Azuba the daughter of Selahi.

And Eliezer the son of Dodau of Maresa prophesied to Josaphat, saying: Because thou hast made a league with Ochozias, the Lord hath destroyed thy works, and the ships are broken, and they could not go to Tharsis.
