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 Moabites and Ammonites, together with some of the Meunites, came to make war against Jehoshaphat.
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 men came and told Jehoshaphat, “A vast army is coming against you from Edom, from beyond the Sea; they are already 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 his face to seek the LORD. And he proclaimed a fast throughout 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.
So the people of Judah gathered to seek the LORD, and indeed, they came from all the cities of Judah to seek Him.
5 Timmakder ni Jehosafat iti taripnong ti Juda ken Jerusalem, iti balay ni Yahweh, iti sangoanan ti baro a paraangan.
Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of the LORD in front of the new courtyard
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 said, “O LORD, God of our fathers, are You not the God who is in heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in Your hand, and no one can stand against 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?
Our God, did You not drive out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham Your friend?
8 Nagnaedda iti daytoy ket nangipatakderda iti nasantoan a lugar para iti naganmo, a kunada,
They have lived in the land and have built in it a sanctuary 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 disaster comes upon us—whether sword or judgment, plague or famine—we will stand before this temple and before You, for Your Name is in this temple. We will cry out to You in our distress, and You will hear us and save us.’
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.
And now, here are the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, whom You did not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt; but Israel 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.
See how they are repaying us by coming to drive us out of the possession that You gave us as an inheritance.
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 are powerless before this vast army that comes against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.”
13 Nagtakder ti amin a Juda iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, a kadduada dagiti ubbingda, assawada, ken annakda.
Meanwhile all the men of Judah, with their wives and children and little ones, were standing before the LORD.
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 Spirit of the LORD came upon Jahaziel son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite from Asaph’s descendants, as he stood in the midst 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 you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the LORD says: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army, for the battle does not belong to you, but to God.
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 you are to march down against them. You will see them coming up the Ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the valley facing 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 need not fight this battle. Take up your positions, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out and face 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.
Then Jehoshaphat bowed facedown, and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem fell down before the LORD to worship Him.
19 Timmakder dagiti Levita a kaputotan dagiti Koatitas ken Koreitas ket nagdaydayawda kenni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel iti nakapigpigsa a timek.
And the Levites from the Kohathites and Korahites stood up to praise the LORD, the God of Israel, shouting in a very 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.”
Early in the morning they got up and left for the Wilderness of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood up and said, “Hear me, O people of Judah and Jerusalem. Believe in the LORD your God, and you will be upheld; believe in His prophets, and you will succeed.”
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.”
Then Jehoshaphat consulted with the people and appointed those who would sing to the LORD and praise the splendor of His holiness. As they went out before the army, they were singing: “Give thanks to the LORD, for His loving devotion 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.
The moment they began their shouts and praises, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir who had come against Judah, and they were defeated.
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.
The Ammonites and Moabites rose up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, devoting them to destruction. And when they had made an end to the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.
24 Idi nakadanon ti Juda iti lugar a matannawaganda ti let-ang, nakitada dagiti armada. Adtoy, nataydan, napasagda iti daga; awan iti nakalasat.
When the men of Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked for the vast army, but there were only corpses lying on the ground; no one had 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.
Then Jehoshaphat and his people went to carry off the plunder, and they found on the bodies an abundance of goods and valuables —more than they could carry away. They were gathering the plunder for three days because there 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 in the Valley of Beracah, where they blessed the LORD. Therefore that place is called the Valley of Beracah 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 all the men of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat at their head, returned joyfully to Jerusalem, for the LORD had made them rejoice over their enemies.
28 Simmangpetda idiay Jerusalem ket napanda iti balay ni Yahweh a nabuyogan iti uni dagiti lira, arpa ken trumpeta.
So they entered Jerusalem and went into the house of the LORD with harps, lyres, and trumpets.
29 Nagbuteng iti Dios dagiti amin a pagarian kadagiti nasion idi nadamagda a nakiranget ni Yahweh kadagiti kabusor ti Israel.
And the fear of God came upon all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the LORD had fought against the enemies of Israel.
30 Natalna ngarud ti pagarian ni Jehosafat, ta inikkan ti Diosna isuna iti kappia iti aglawlawna.
Then Jehoshaphat’s kingdom was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side.
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 became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
32 Sinurotna dagiti wagas ni Asa nga amana; saanna a tinallikudan dagitoy; inaramidna ti ummo iti imatang ni Yahweh.
And Jehoshaphat walked in the way of his father Asa and did not turn away from it; he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD.
33 Nupay kasta, saan pay a naikkat dagiti lugar a pagdaydayawan, saan pay met a pimmasnek dagiti tattao iti panagdaydayawda iti Dios dagiti kapuonanda.
The high places, however, were not removed; the people had not yet 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.
As for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, from beginning to end, they are indeed written in the Chronicles of Jehu son of Hanani, which are recorded 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.
Later, Jehoshaphat king of Judah made an alliance with Ahaziah king of Israel, who acted wickedly.
36 Nakitulag isuna kenkuana nga agaramidda kadagiti barko nga aglayag iti taaw. Inaramidda dagiti barko idiay Eziongeber.
They agreed to make ships to go to Tarshish, and these were built 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 son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works.” So the ships were wrecked and were unable to sail to Tarshish.
