2 Cronicas 20
1 Kalpasan daytoy, immay a makigubat kenni Jehosafat dagiti tattao ti Moab ken Ammon agraman dagiti kakaduada a Meunita.
After this, the children of Moab, the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
2 Ket adda sumagmamano a nangipadamag kenni Jehosafat, a kunada, “Adda dakkel a bunggoy nga um-umay manipud iti ballasiw ti Natay a Baybay, manipud Aram tapno umaydaka rauten. Adtoy, addadan idiay Hazazontamar” (dayta ket, Engedi).
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 Nagbuteng ni Jehosafat ket sipapasnek a binirokna ni Yahweh. Imbilinna ti panagayunar iti entero a Juda.
Jehoshaphat was alarmed, and set himself to seek the LORD. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
4 Naguummong ti Juda tapno dawatenda ti pammagbaga ni Yahweh; immayda manipud kadagiti amin a siudad ti Juda tapno dawatenda ti pammagbaga ni Yahweh.
Judah gathered themselves together to seek help from the LORD. They came out of all the cities of Judah to seek the LORD.
5 Timmakder ni Jehosafat iti taripnong ti Juda ken Jerusalem, iti balay ni Yahweh, iti sangoanan ti baro a paraangan.
Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the LORD’s house, before the new court;
6 Kinunana, “O Yahweh a Dios dagiti kapuonanmi, saan kadi a sika ti Dios ti langit? Ken saan kadi a sika ti mangiturturay kadagiti amin a pagarian kadagiti nasion? Adda kadagita imam ti bileg ken pannakabalin, isu nga awan ti siasinoman a makabael a bumusor kenka.
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 O Diosmi, saan kadi a pinapanawmo dagiti agnanaed iti daytoy a daga iti sangoanan dagiti tattaom nga Israel, ket intedmo daytoy kadagiti kaputotan ni Abraham iti agnanayon?
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 Nagnaedda iti daytoy ket nangipatakderda iti nasantoan a lugar para iti naganmo, a kunada,
They lived in it, and have built you a sanctuary in it for your name, saying,
9 'No adda didigra nga umay kadakami-ti gubat, wenno sakit, wenno bisin-tumakderkami iti sangoanan daytoy a balay, ken iti sangoanam (ta ti naganmo ket adda iti daytoy a balay), ket umasogkami kenka iti panagrigatmi, ket denggennakami ket isalakannakami.'
‘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 Kitaem ita, adda ditoy dagiti tattao ti Ammon, Moab, ken Bantay Seir, a saanmo nga impalubos a sakupen ti Israel, idi rimmuarda iti daga ti Egipto; ngem ketdi, naglikaw ti Israel ket saanda ida a dinadael.
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 Kitaem no kasano ti panangsupapakda kadakami; um-umayda a mangpapanaw kadakami iti dagam nga intedmo kadakami a tawidenmi.
behold, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit.
12 O Diosmi, saanmo kadi nga ukomen ida? Ta awan bilegmi a mangsaranget iti daytoy a nakadakdakkel nga armada nga um-umay a mangraut kadakami.” Saanmi nga ammo ti aramidenmi, ngem dumawdawatkami iti tulongmo.”
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 Nagtakder ti amin a Juda iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, a kadduada dagiti ubbingda, assawada, ken annakda.
All Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
14 Ket iti tengnga ti taripnong, immay ti Espiritu ni Yahweh kenni Jahaziel a putot a lalaki ni Zacarias a putot a lalaki ni Benaias a putot a lalaki ni Jeiel a putot a lalaki ni Matanaias a Levita, maysa kadagiti putot a lalaki ni Asap.
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 Kinuna ni Jahaziel, “Dumngegkayo, amin a Juda ken dakayo nga agnanaed iti Jerusalem, ken Ari a Jehosafat: “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh kadakayo: 'Saankayo nga agbuteng; saankayo a maupay gapu iti daytoy a dakkel nga armada. Ta ti gubat ket saan a para kadakayo, ngem iti Dios.
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 Sumalogkayo a mangsaranget kadakuada inton bigat. Kitaenyo, sumangsang-atda idiay bessang ti Ziz. Masarakanyo ida iti pungto ti tanap, sakbay iti let-ang ti Jeruel.
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 Saanen a masapul a makirangetkayo iti daytoy a gubat. Agtalinaedkayo iti puestoyo, aguraykayo, ket kitaenyo ti panangispal ni Yahweh kadakayo, Juda ken Jerusalem. Saankayo nga agbuteng wenno maupay. Inkay makigubat kadakuada inton bigat, ta adda ni Yahweh kadakayo.”
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 Nagrukob ni Jehosafat iti daga. Nagrukob iti sangoanan ni Yahweh ti amin a Juda ken dagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem, ket nagdaydayawda kenkuana.
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 Timmakder dagiti Levita a kaputotan dagiti Koatitas ken Koreitas ket nagdaydayawda kenni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel iti nakapigpigsa a timek.
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 Bimmangonda a nasapa iti kabigatanna ket napanda iti let-ang ti Tekoa. Bayat a rumrummuarda, timmakder ni Jehosafat ket kinunana, “Dumngegkayo kaniak, Juda, ken dakayo nga agnanaed iti Jerusalem! Agtalekkayo kenni Yahweh a Diosyo, ket saranayennakayonto. Agtalekkayo kadagiti profetana, ket agballigikayonto.”
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 Idi nakiuman isuna kadagiti tattao, dinutokanna dagiti agkanta kadagiti panangidaydayaw kenni Yahweh gapu iti nasantoan a dayagna, bayat a magmagnada iti sangoanan ti armada, kankantaenda, “Agyamankami kenni Yahweh; ta agnanayon ti kinapudnona iti tulagna.”
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 Idi rugianda ti agkanta ken agdayaw, pinagririnnanget ni Yahweh dagiti tattao ti Ammon, Moab ken Bantay Seir, nga um-umay a mangraut iti Juda. Naparmekda.
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 Ta dagiti tattao ti Ammon ken Moab ket nakiranget kadagiti agnanaed iti Bantay Seir, tapno naan-anay a mapapatay ken madadaelda ida. Idi naparmekda dagiti tattao ti Bantay Seir, isudan ti nagraranget.
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 Idi nakadanon ti Juda iti lugar a matannawaganda ti let-ang, nakitada dagiti armada. Adtoy, nataydan, napasagda iti daga; awan iti nakalasat.
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 Idi napan ni Jehosafat ken dagiti tattao tapno agsamsamda, nakasarakda kadagiti nakaad-adu a kinabaknang ken napapateg nga alahas, a sinamsamda para kadagiti bagbagida, ad-adu dagitoy ngem iti kabaelanda nga awiten. Tallo nga aldaw a binunagda dagiti samsam, nakaad-adu unay dagitoy.
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 Iti maika-uppat nga aldaw, naguummongda iti tanap ti Beraca. Indaydayawda sadiay ni Yahweh, isu a ti nagan dayta a lugar ket ti “tanap ti Beraca” agingga kadagitoy nga aldaw.
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 Kalpasanna ket indauloan ida ni Jehosafat nga agsubli idiay Jerusalem nga addaan rag-o; ta pinagrag-o ida ni Yahweh kadagiti kabusorda.
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 Simmangpetda idiay Jerusalem ket napanda iti balay ni Yahweh a nabuyogan iti uni dagiti lira, arpa ken trumpeta.
They came to Jerusalem with stringed instruments, harps, and trumpets to the LORD’s house.
29 Nagbuteng iti Dios dagiti amin a pagarian kadagiti nasion idi nadamagda a nakiranget ni Yahweh kadagiti kabusor ti Israel.
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 Natalna ngarud ti pagarian ni Jehosafat, ta inikkan ti Diosna isuna iti kappia iti aglawlawna.
So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest all around.
31 Nagturay ni Jehosafat iti entero a Juda: agtawen isuna iti 35 idi nangrugi nga agturay, ket nagturay isuna idiay Jerusalem iti 25 a tawen. Azuba ti nagan ti inana, a putot a babai ni Silhi.
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 Sinurotna dagiti wagas ni Asa nga amana; saanna a tinallikudan dagitoy; inaramidna ti ummo iti imatang ni Yahweh.
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 Nupay kasta, saan pay a naikkat dagiti lugar a pagdaydayawan, saan pay met a pimmasnek dagiti tattao iti panagdaydayawda iti Dios dagiti kapuonanda.
However the high places were not taken away, and the people had still not set their hearts on the God of their fathers.
34 Dagiti dadduma a banbanag maipanggep kenni Jehosafat, manipud iti rugi agingga iti maudi, ket naisurat iti pakasaritaan ni Jehu a putot a lalaki ni Hanani, a nailanad iti Libro dagiti Ar-ari ti Israel.
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 Kalpasan daytoy, nakitulag ni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda kenni Ahazias nga ari ti Israel, nga adu a kinadakes ti inaramidna.
After this, Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel. The same did very wickedly.
36 Nakitulag isuna kenkuana nga agaramidda kadagiti barko nga aglayag iti taaw. Inaramidda dagiti barko idiay Eziongeber.
He joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish. They made the ships in Ezion Geber.
37 Ket nangipadto ni Eliezer a putot a lalaki ni Dodavahu a taga-Maresias, iti maibusor kenni Jehosafat; kinunana, “Gapu ta nakitulagka kenni Ahazias, dinadael ni Yahweh dagiti inaramidyo.” Nadadael dagiti barko tapno saanda a makapaglayag.
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.
