II Oihanaalii 20
1 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.
After this, the children of Moab, the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
2 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.
Then some came who told Jehoshaphat, saying, “A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea from Syria. Behold, they are in Hazazon Tamar” (that is, En Gedi).
3 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.
Jehoshaphat was alarmed, and set himself to seek the LORD. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
4 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.
Judah gathered themselves together to seek help from the LORD. They came out of all the cities of Judah to seek the LORD.
5 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;
Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the LORD’s house, before the new court;
6 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?
and he said, “LORD, the God of our fathers, are not you God in heaven? Are not 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.
7 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.
Did not you, our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it to the offspring of Abraham your friend forever?
8 A noho lakou malaila, a kukulu lakou no kou inoa i luakini, me ka i ana aku,
They lived in it, and have built you a sanctuary in it for your name, saying,
9 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.
‘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.’
10 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.
Now, behold, the children 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 away from them, and did not destroy them;
11 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.
behold, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit.
12 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.
Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that comes against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”
13 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.
All Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
14 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.
Then the LORD’s Spirit 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 middle of the assembly;
15 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.
and he said, “Listen, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat. The LORD says to you, ‘Do not be afraid, and do not be dismayed because of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
16 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.
Tomorrow, go down against them. Behold, they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz. You will find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
17 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.
You will not need to fight this battle. Set yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed. Go out against them tomorrow, for the LORD is with you.’”
18 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.
Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before the LORD, worshiping the LORD.
19 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.
The Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise the LORD, the God of Israel, with an exceedingly loud voice.
20 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.
They rose early in the morning and went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. As they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in the LORD your God, so you will be established! Believe his prophets, so you will prosper.”
21 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.
When he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who were to sing to the LORD and give praise in holy array as they go out before the army, and say, “Give thanks to the LORD, for his loving kindness endures forever.”
22 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.
When they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushers against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were struck.
23 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.
For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. When they had finished the inhabitants of Seir, everyone helped to destroy each other.
24 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.
When Judah came to the place overlooking the wilderness, they looked at the multitude; and behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none who escaped.
25 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.
When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their plunder, they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies with precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away. They took plunder for three days, it was so much.
26 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.
On the fourth day, they assembled themselves in Beracah Valley, for there they blessed the LORD. Therefore the name of that place was called “Beracah Valley” to this day.
27 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.
Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat in front of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
28 A hoi mai lakou i Ierusalema me na mea kani, a me na mea ukeke, a me na pu, i ka hale o Iehova.
They came to Jerusalem with stringed instruments, harps, and trumpets to the LORD’s house.
29 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.
The fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries when they heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.
30 A ua maluhia ke aupuni o Iehosapata, a ua hoomalu mai kona Akua ia ia a puni.
So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest all around.
31 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.
So Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he began to reign. He reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
32 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.
He walked in the way of Asa his father, and did not turn away from it, doing that which was right in the LORD’s eyes.
33 Aka, aole i hoohioloia na wahi kiekie: aole hoomakaukau na kanaka i ko lakou mau naau no ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna.
However the high places were not taken away, and the people had still not set their hearts on the God of their fathers.
34 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.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is included in the book of the kings of Israel.
35 A mahope aku, hui pu o Iehosapata ke alii o Iuda me Ahazia, ko alii o ka Iseraela, ka mea i hana hewa.
After this, Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel. The same did very wickedly.
36 Huipu oia me ia e hana i mau moku e holo i Taresa. A hana no laua i mau moku ma Eziona-gebera.
He joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish. They made the ships in Ezion Geber.
37 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.
Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works.” The ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
