2 Kroniku 20
1 Hagi ana'ma hutegeno'a, Moapu vahe'ma, Amoni vahe'ma, mago'a Meuni vahe'ma hu'za Jehosafatina hara eme hunte'za hu'naze.
Later [armies from] Moab and Ammon and some soldiers from [the] Meun [area in Edom] came [to fight] against Jehoshaphat’s [army].
2 Hagi mago'a vahe'mo'za Jehosafatina amanage hu'za eme asami'naze, Tusi'a vahekrerfamo'za ha' hugante'naku hagerimofo kantu kaziga Edomuti e'za Hazazon-tamari emani'naze hu'za eme asmi'naze. (Hazazon-tamaria mago agi'a Engedi'e).
Some men came and told Jehoshaphat, “A huge army is coming to attack your army. They are coming from [the] Edom [region], from the eastern side of the [Dead] Sea. They have already come to Hazazon-Tamar!” Another name for that place is En-Gedi.
3 Ananke'ma Jehosafati'a nentahino'a, tusi koro nehuno Ra Anumzamofo avesi'zankura nunamuna huno antahinegeno, mika Juda vahera ke hige'za ne'zana a'o hu'za Ra Anumzamofontega nunamu hu'naze.
Jehoshaphat became very afraid, so he decided to ask Yahweh [what he should do]. He also proclaimed that all [the people of] Judah should fast.
4 Hagi mika Juda vahetmimo'za emeri atru hu'za Ra Anumzamo'ma zamaza hanigura antahige'naze. Mika Juda rankumapintira Ra Anumzamofontega nunamu hu'za antahige'naku eme atru hu'naze.
The people of Judah gathered together to request Yahweh to help them. They came [to Jerusalem] from every town in Judah to seek help from Yahweh.
5 Hagi mika Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemi vahetmimofo zamavugane Ra Anumzamofo mono nomofo avuga kasefa kuma'ma tro'ma hunte'nazafi Jehosafati'a oti'neno,
Then Jehoshaphat stood up in front of the people of Judah in front of the new courtyard of the temple,
6 amanage huno nunamuna hu'ne, Ra Anumzana Kagra tafahe'i Anumzamoka kagra monafi Anumzana mani'nane. Kagrake'za maka ama mopafi kumatmina kegava hu'nane. Kagri kazampinke maka hihamu hankavea me'neankino, mago vahe'mo'e huno hara hugageteoregahie.
and he prayed this: “Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors belonged to, you are surely the God who [rules from] heaven. You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. You have great power, and no one can successfully oppose you.
7 Kagra Anumzantimoka, Israeli vaheka'a zamavufi ama mopafima ko'ma mani'naza vahera zmahenatitrenka, kanampaka'a Abrahamu agehemofo ama mopa zamagri mopa mevava hugahie hunka zami'nane.
Our God, you expelled the people who lived in this land while your Israeli people advanced, and you certainly gave it to us who are descendants of your friend Abraham, to belong to us forever.
8 Hagi zamagra ama ana mopafi mani'ne'za mono'ma hugantesaza mono nona kintete'za amanage hu'naze,
We have lived here and have built a temple where we, your people, worship you. We said,
9 ha' eme hurante'nazo, hazenke'za fore hanio, ruzahu ruzahu kri fore hanio, agatonto kna fore haniana ama Kagri kagima erisgahu mono nomofo avuga otita Kagritega krafagema hanunkenka, krafagetia antahiraminka knazanpintira tagu'vazigahane hu'none.
'If we experience disasters, either from our enemies attacking us or from you punishing us, or if we experience a plague or a famine, we will stand in your presence in front of this temple that is built to honor you, and we will cry out to you when we are distressed/suffering, and you will hear us and will rescue us.'
10 Hagi tagehemofo Israeli vaheku'ma hanke'za Isipitima ne-eza Moapu vahe'ma, Amoni vahe'ma' Seiri agonafima nemaniza vahera ha'ma huozmante'za zamagatere'za e'naza vahe'mo'za menina ha' hurantenaku neaze.
You would not allow our Israeli ancestors to enter the countries of Ammon and Moab and Edom when they were traveling from Egypt [to Canaan]. So our ancestors turned away from those areas and did not attack the people there and did not destroy them. But now they are coming here [to attack us].
11 Hagi e'i anahu avu'ava'ma huzmante'nonte, miza neramiza erisantihareho hunkama tami'nana mopafintira eme tahenatitre'za ama mopa eri'naku neazafi ko?
[We did not destroy them. But now] look at how they are repaying us by trying to expel us from the land that you gave to our ancestors to belong to them [and their descendants forever]
12 Hagi Anumzantimoka nahanigenka kagra refko hunka keaga ana zantera hunezmantenka hazenkea ozamigahane? Na'ankure tagra ama tusi vahekrerfama neazana knarera osu'nonankita, hara huozmante'gahune. Hagi antahintahi timo'a savari higeta, tazama hanankura kagri kavufinke keteta mani'none.
So, our God, please punish them, because we do not have enough power to resist/defeat this huge army that is coming to attack us. We do not know what to do. But we are pleading for you to help us.”
13 Anage'ma nehigeno'a, mika Juda venenemo'za ne'one mofavrezmine, a'nezamine, mofavre'zmine Ra Anumzamofo avuga oti'za mani'nazageno,
All the men of Judah and their wives and children and babies were standing there in the presence of Yahweh [while Jehoshaphat prayed].
14 ana vahe amu'nompi Zekaraia nemofo Jahazielinte Ra Anumzamofo Avamumo'a e'ne. Hagi Zekaraia'a Benia nemofo'e, Benia'a Jeieli nemofo'e, Jeieli'a Matania nemofo Livae nekino, Asapu ne' mofavreramimpinti ne' mani'ne.
Then the Spirit of Yahweh came upon Jahaziel, who was the son of Zechariah, who was the son of Benaiah, who was the son of Jeiel, who was the son of Mattaniah. He was a descendant of Levi and a descendant of Asaph. He stood up in front of the whole group that was gathered there,
15 Hagi Jahazieli'a amanage hu'ne, Mika Juda vahe'ma, Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'motane kini ne' Jehosafetiganena antahiho, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, ha'ma huramante'naku'ma, tusi'a sondia vahekrerfamo'zama aza vahekura tamahirahikura huta korora osiho, na'ankure ama hara tamagri hara omne'neanki, Anumzamofo ha' me'ne.
and said, “King Jehoshaphat and all you who live in Jerusalem and in other places in Judah, listen! This is what Yahweh says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this huge army [that is coming to attack you], because it is not you who [will win] this battle. It is God [who will win it].
16 Oki'na uramita hara ome huzmanteho. Zamagra Zizi krahopinti marerigahazankita Jerueli hagege kokamofo zage hanati kaziga ome zamagegahaze.
Tomorrow march down toward them. They will be climbing up through Ziz Pass [north of En-Gedi]. You will meet them at the end of the gorge near the Jeruel Desert.
17 Tamagra ama ana hapina hara osugahazanki, oti hankavetita retrohuta manineta Ra Anumzamo'ma tamagritegama anteno tamagu'ma vaziniana keho. Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemi vahe'mota korora nehuta tamahirahikura osiho. Ra Anumzamo'a tamagrane manigahianki, okina hara ome huzmanteho.
But you will not need to fight this battle. You soldiers from Jerusalem and other places in Judah, just take your positions, and then stand still and watch [what will happen]. You will see Yahweh rescue you. Do not be afraid or discouraged. March toward them tomorrow, and Yahweh will be with you.’”
18 Anage'ma higeno'a, Jehosafati'a mopafi renaregeno, Juda vahe'mo'zane, Jerusalemima nemaniza vahe'mo'zanena Ra Anumzamofo avuga zamarena re'za kepri hu'za Ra Anumzamofona monora hunte'naze.
Jehoshaphat prostrated himself with his face touching the ground, and all the people of Jerusalem and other places in Judah [who were there] knelt down to worship Yahweh.
19 Ana hazageno Kohati nagapinti Livae vahe'mo'zane, Kora naga'mo'zanena oti'za Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mofo Anumzana ranke hu'za zagamera hu'za agi'a ahentesga hu'naze.
Then some descendants of Levi who were descendants of both Kohath and Korah stood up and loudly praised Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [belonged to].
20 Hagi nanterame oti'za hagege kokampi Tekoa vu'naze. Hagi anama nevazageno'a, Jehosafati'a otino amanage hu'ne, Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemima nemaniza vahe'enena kama antahiho, Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofonte tamentintia hinkeno tamagu vazino tamaza nehina, Agri kasnampa vahetmimofo kere tamentinti nehuta, knarera huta manigahaze.
Early the next morning the army left to go to the desert near Tekoa [town]. While they were leaving, Jehoshaphat stood up and said to the people, “You people of Jerusalem and other places in Judah, listen to me! Trust in Yahweh our God; if you do that, you will be strong. Trust in [what] his prophets [have said]; if you do that, you will be successful.”
21 Hagi zamavare atru huno ana nanekema zmasamiteno'a, ruotge'ma hu'nea kukena hu'neza vugote'za nevu'za zagamera hu'za Ra Anumzamofoma agima ahentesgama hanaza vahetami zamazeri oti'ne. Hagi anama hutege'za amanage hu'za ana zagamera hu'naze, Ra Anumzamofona susu huntone, na'ankure avesirante'nea zamo'a mevava huno vugahie.
Then, after consulting with some of the people, he appointed some men to go in front of the army, singing to Yahweh and praising him because of his being holy and wonderful. They were singing, “Thank Yahweh, because he faithfully loves us forever.”
22 Anagema hutege'za agafa hu'za zagamera ranke hu'za nehazageno Amoni vahe'ma, Moapu vahe'ma, Seiri agonafima nemaniza vahetaminena Ra Anumzamo'a agafa huno zamazeri savri hige'za, hara zamagra zamagra hu'za ohefri ahefria hu'naze.
When they began to sing and praise Yahweh, Yahweh caused the soldiers from Ammon and Moab and Edom who were invading Judah to panic, with the result that they were defeated.
23 Amoni vahe'ene Moapu vahe'mo'zanena rukrahe hu'za, Seiri agonafi vahera hara huzmante'za zamahe'naze. Hagi Seiri agonafi vahe'ma zamahe vagamarete'za, ete Moapu vahe'mo'zane Amoni vahe'mo'za oti'za zamagra zamagra ohefri ahefri hu'naze.
The soldiers from Ammon and Moab started to fight against the soldiers from Edom, and they completely annihilated the soldiers from Edom. After they finished slaughtering the men from Edom, they started to attack each other.
24 Hagi hagege kokamofoma uruha'ma nehaza agonare Juda vahe'mo'za emarerite'za, kegamanute'za hagege kokantegama kazana mago'mo'e huno atre'nora ofre'neanki ana maka vahetmimo'za fri'za uvase evase hu'nazage'za ke'naze.
When the soldiers from Judah came to the place where they could look down over the desert, they looked toward that huge army [of their enemies], and they saw only corpses lying on the ground. No one had survived.
25 Hagi kini ne' Jehosafati'ene vahe'amo'zanema ana vahetmimofo fenoma erinaku'ma e'za eme kazana, ana fri vahetmimofo fenoma, ne'zama, kukenama, zago'amo mareri zantaminena, tusi feno me'nege'za eri vagaregara osu'naze. Ana fenoma eri'nazana tusi'a fenonkino, 3'a zage knafi fenona hantage'naze.
So Jehoshaphat and his soldiers went to take the possessions of their enemies, and they saw that there was a lot of equipment and clothing and other valuable things; there was more than they could carry away. There were very many things, with the result that it took three days for them to collect it all.
26 Hagi namba 4kna zupa Beraka agupofi emeri tru hu'za muse nehu'za, Ra Anumzamofo agi'a ahentesga hu'naze. E'ina hu'negu ana agupomofo agia Berake (Berakaema hu'nena asomure hu'ne) hu'za hazageno meno eno menina ama knarera ehanati'ne.
The following day they gathered in Beracah Valley and praised Yahweh there. That is why that valley is still called Beracah, [which means praise.]
27 Ana hutazageno Jehosafati'a vugota huzmantege'za maka Juda vahetamine, Jerusalemima nemaniza vahe'mo'zanena Ra Anumzamo'ma ha' vahe'zmima ha'ma huzmagaterea zanku zagame nehu'za tusi muse hume Jerusalemi vu'naze.
Then while Jehoshaphat led them, all the soldiers who were from Jerusalem and other places in Judah returned to Jerusalem. They were happy because Yahweh had enabled them to defeat their enemies.
28 Hagi Jerusalemi kumapima enefre'za, hapu zavenama, laerie nehaza zavenama nehe'za, ufenena nere'za Ra Anumzamofo nompina musenkase hu'za ufre'naze.
When they arrived at Jerusalem, they went to the temple, [playing] harps and lutes and trumpets.
29 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli vahe'ma zamaza huno ha' vahezmima zamaheankema ruga'a kumatmimpi vahe'mo'zama nentahi'za, Anumzamofonkura tusi koro hu'naze.
People in the kingdoms of the nearby countries became very afraid when they heard how Yahweh had fought against the enemies of the Israelis.
30 E'ina higeno Jehosafeti'ma kinima mani'noma vu'nea knafina, agri Anumzamo'a ha'zana eri atrege'za maka kazigatira hara eme huozmantage'za fru hu'za mani'naze.
Then there was peace in the kingdom that was ruled by Jehoshaphat, because God had caused the surrounding nations not to attack it.
31 Hagi Jehosafati'a 35'a kafu hu'neno Juda vahe kinia efore huno mani'neankino, 25'a kafufi Jerusalemi kumatera kinia mani'ne. Hagi nerera agia Azubakino, agra Silhi mofa mani'ne.
Jehoshaphat continued to rule Judah. He was 35 years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 25 years. His mother’s name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
32 Hagi Jehosafati'a ko'ma nefa Asa'ma fatgo avu'ava'ma hu'neaza huno, Ra Anumzamofo avurera fatgo avu'ava hu'ne.
He did things that were pleasing to Yahweh, like his father Asa had done, and he did not stop doing those things.
33 Hianagi havi anumzante'ma mono hunentaza kumatmina eri haviza osu'neanki'za, vahe'mo'za zmafahemofo Anumzantera zamagu'aretira hu'za amagera onte'naze.
But he did not get rid of the shrines on the hilltops, and many of the people still did not faithfully do what the God whom their ancestors belonged to wanted.
34 Hagi Jehosafati'ma agafa huno kinima mani'neretima vuno vagamaretema vu'nea knafima tro'ma hu'nea zantmimofo agenkea, Hanani nemofo Jehu avontafepi krentegeno, Israeli kini vahetmimofo agenkema krentenazafi me'ne.
A record of the other things that Jehoshaphat did while he ruled, from when he began to rule until he died, is in the scrolls written by [the prophet] Jehu, the son of Hanani. They are also in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel.
35 Hagi henka Juda kini ne' Jehosafati'a havi avu'avazama nehia Israeli kini ne' Ahasia'ene eri hagerafino mani'ne.
During his reign, Jehoshaphat made a treaty with Ahaziah, the king of Israel, who was a very wicked king.
36 Hagi ana kini netremokea vente trohuke Tasisi vunaku mago zanarimpa huteke, ana venteramina Ezion-Geba kumate trohu'na'e.
They agreed that their workers would build a fleet of ships to use to buy and sell [things with other countries]. After those ships were built at Ezion-Geber [on the Gulf of Aqaba],
37 Ana'ma nehakeno'a higeno'a Maresa kumateti ne' Dodavahu nemofo Eliezeri'a anage huno Jehosafatina kasnampa kea hunte'ne, Na'ankure kagra Ahasia'ene kea hagerafinankino, tro'ma hana venteramina Ra Anumzamo'a eri haviza hugahie. Higeno ana venteramimo'za haviza hazage'za, Tasisia ovu'naze.
Eliezer the son of Dodavahu from Mareshah [city] warned Jehoshaphat. He said, “You have made an alliance with Ahaziah, [who is a wicked king]. Therefore, Yahweh will destroy the ships that your workers have made.” And the ships were wrecked, and were not able to sail to other countries.
