2 Cronicas 20
1 Kalpasan daytoy, immay a makigubat kenni Jehosafat dagiti tattao ti Moab ken Ammon agraman dagiti kakaduada a Meunita.
After these things, the sons of Moab, and the sons of Ammon, and with them some from the Ammonites, gathered together so that they might fight against him.
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).
And messengers arrived and reported to Jehoshaphat, saying: “A great multitude has arrived against you, from those places that are across the sea, and from Syria. And behold, they are standing together at Hazazon-tamar, which is Engedi.”
3 Nagbuteng ni Jehosafat ket sipapasnek a binirokna ni Yahweh. Imbilinna ti panagayunar iti entero a Juda.
Then Jehoshaphat, being terrified with fear, gave himself entirely to petitioning the Lord, and he proclaimed a fast for all of 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.
And Judah gathered together to pray to the Lord. Moreover, everyone from their cities came to beseech him.
5 Timmakder ni Jehosafat iti taripnong ti Juda ken Jerusalem, iti balay ni Yahweh, iti sangoanan ti baro a paraangan.
And when Jehoshaphat had stood up in the midst of the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new atrium,
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.
he said: “O Lord, God of our fathers, you are God in heaven, and you rule over all the kingdoms of the Gentiles. In your hand is strength and power, and 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, put to death all the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel? And you gave it to the offspring of your friend Abraham, for all time.
8 Nagnaedda iti daytoy ket nangipatakderda iti nasantoan a lugar para iti naganmo, a kunada,
And they lived in it. And they built a Sanctuary to your name in it, 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 evils will have fallen upon us, the sword of judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we will stand in your sight before this house, in which your name is invoked, and we will cry out to you in our tribulations. And you will heed us and accomplish our salvation.’
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 therefore, behold the sons of Ammon, and of Moab, and mount Seir, through whose lands you did not permit Israel to cross when they were departing from Egypt. Instead, they turned aside from them, and they did not put them to death.
11 Kitaem no kasano ti panangsupapakda kadakami; um-umayda a mangpapanaw kadakami iti dagam nga intedmo kadakami a tawidenmi.
They are doing the contrary, and they are striving to cast us from the possession which you delivered to us.
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.”
Therefore, will you, our God, not judge them? Certainly, in us there is not enough strength so that we would be able to withstand this multitude, which rushes against us. But although we do not know what we ought to do, we have this alone remaining, that we direct our eyes to you.”
13 Nagtakder ti amin a Juda iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, a kadduada dagiti ubbingda, assawada, ken annakda.
Truly, all of Judah was standing before the Lord with their little ones and wives and 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.
But there was Jahaziel, the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite from the sons of Asaph, upon whom the Spirit of the Lord went, in the midst of the crowd.
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: “Pay attention, all of Judah, and you who live in Jerusalem, and you, king Jehoshaphat. Thus says the Lord to you: Do not be afraid. Neither should you be dismayed by this multitude. For the fight 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, you shall descend against them. For they will ascend along the incline named Ziz, and will find them at the summit of the torrent, which is opposite 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.”
It will not be you who will fight. Instead, only stand with confidence, and you will see the help of the Lord over you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid. Neither should you be dismayed. Tomorrow you shall go forth against them, and the Lord will be 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, and Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell prone on the ground before the Lord, and they adored 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 sons of Kohath, and from the sons of Korah, were praising the Lord, the God of Israel, with a great voice, on high.
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.”
And when they had risen up in the morning, they went out through the desert of Tekoa. And as they were setting out, Jehoshaphat, standing in their midst, said: “Listen to me, men of Judah and all inhabitants of Jerusalem. Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be secure. Believe in his prophets, and everything will come to prosperity.”
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.”
And he gave counsel to the people. And he appointed the singing men of the Lord, so that they would praise him by their companies, and so that they would go before the army, and with one voice say: “Confess to the Lord. For his mercy is eternal.”
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.
And when they had begun to sing praises, the Lord turned their ambushes upon themselves, that is, those of the sons of Ammon, and of Moab, and of mount Seir, who had gone forth so that they might fight against Judah. And they were struck down.
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 sons of Ammon and of Moab rose up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, so that they might slay and destroy them. And when they had perpetrated this work, now also turning upon themselves, they cut one another with wounds.
24 Idi nakadanon ti Juda iti lugar a matannawaganda ti let-ang, nakitada dagiti armada. Adtoy, nataydan, napasagda iti daga; awan iti nakalasat.
Then, when Judah had gone to the high point that looks out toward the desert, they saw, from far away, the entire wide region filled with dead bodies. Neither was there anyone who was left alive and had been able to escape death.
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.
Therefore, Jehoshaphat went, and all the people with him, in order to take away the spoils of the dead. And they found, among the dead bodies, diverse equipment, and also garments, and very precious vessels. And they despoiled these, to such an extent that they were unable to carry everything. Neither could they, over three days, take away the spoils because of the magnitude of the plunder.
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.
Then, on the fourth day, they were gathered together in the Valley of Blessing. For they had blessed the Lord there, and therefore they called that place the Valley of Blessing, even to the present day.
27 Kalpasanna ket indauloan ida ni Jehosafat nga agsubli idiay Jerusalem nga addaan rag-o; ta pinagrag-o ida ni Yahweh kadagiti kabusorda.
And every man of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, returned, with Jehoshaphat before them, to Jerusalem, with great rejoicing. For the Lord had granted to them gladness concerning their enemies.
28 Simmangpetda idiay Jerusalem ket napanda iti balay ni Yahweh a nabuyogan iti uni dagiti lira, arpa ken trumpeta.
And they entered into Jerusalem with psalteries, and harps, and trumpets, into the house of the Lord.
29 Nagbuteng iti Dios dagiti amin a pagarian kadagiti nasion idi nadamagda a nakiranget ni Yahweh kadagiti kabusor ti Israel.
Then the fear of the Lord fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands, when they had 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.
And the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was quiet. And God granted to him peace on all sides.
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.
And so Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. And he was thirty-five years old when he had begun to reign. Then he reigned for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother 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.
And he walked in the way of his father, Asa, and he did not decline from it, doing the things that were pleasing before 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.
Yet truly, he did not take away the high places, and the people still had not directed their heart to the Lord, 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.
But the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, the first and the last, have been written in the words of Jehu, the son of Hanani, which he digested into the books 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 these things, Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, formed a friendship with Ahaziah, the king of Israel, whose works were very impious.
36 Nakitulag isuna kenkuana nga agaramidda kadagiti barko nga aglayag iti taaw. Inaramidda dagiti barko idiay Eziongeber.
And he was a partner in the making of ships, which would go to Tarshish. And they made the fleet at Eziongeber.
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, from Mareshah, prophesied to Jehoshaphat, saying: “Because you have made a pact with Ahaziah, the Lord has struck your works, and the ships have been broken, and they have not been able to go to Tarshish.”
