Luo Chronicle 20
1 In kutu pacl tok un mwet mweun lun acn Moab ac Ammon, wi mwet Meunim su welulosyang, elos tuku mweuni acn Judah.
And it comes to pass after this, the sons of Moab have come in, and the sons of Ammon, and with them of the peoples, to battle against Jehoshaphat.
2 Oasr mwet utuk kas tuku ac fahk nu sel Tokosra Jehoshaphat, “Sie un mwet mweun lulap lun acn Edom tuku lafalyat ke Meoa Misa in mweuni kom. Elos sruokya tari acn Hazazon Tamar.” (Sie pac inen acn se ingan pa Engedi.)
And [some] come in and declare [it] to Jehoshaphat, saying, “A great multitude has come against you from beyond the sea, from Aram, and behold, they [are] in Hazezon-Tamar—it [is] En-Gedi.”
3 Jehoshaphat el sangeng, ac el pre nu sin LEUM GOD in suk kasru. Na el sap mwet in mutunfacl sac nufon in lalo.
And Jehoshaphat fears, and sets his face to seek for YHWH, and proclaims a fast over all Judah;
4 Mwet in siti nukewa lun Judah elos sulaklak tuku nu Jerusalem in siyuk kasru sin LEUM GOD.
and Judah is gathered to inquire of YHWH; also, from all the cities of Judah they have come to seek YHWH.
5 Na mwet Jerusalem ac mwet nukewa tuku saya me elos tukeni nu ke acn in tukeni sasu oan likin Tempul. Tokosra Jehoshaphat el som tu ye mutalos,
And Jehoshaphat stands in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of YHWH, at the front of the new court,
6 ac el pre, “O LEUM GOD lun papa tumasr, kom muta inkusrao ac leum fin mutunfacl nukewa. Kom arulana fulat ac ku; ac wangin mwet ku in lain kom.
and says, “O YHWH, God of our fathers, are You not God in the heavens? Indeed, You are ruling over all kingdoms of the nations, and power and might [are] in Your hand, and there is none with You to station himself.
7 Kom God lasr. Ke mwet lom Israel tuku nu in acn se inge, kom lusla mwet su muta inge, ac sang acn uh nu sin fita lal Abraham, mwet kawuk lom, in ma lalos ma pahtpat.
Are You not our God? You have dispossessed the inhabitants of this land from before Your people Israel, and give it to the seed of Your friend Abraham for all time,
8 Elos nuna muta inge ac musaela sie tempul in akfulatye kom, ke sripen elos etu
and they dwell in it, and build a sanctuary in it for You, for Your Name, saying,
9 lah fin oasr mwe lokoalok lulap sikyak nu selos — ke mweun, ku mas upa, ku sracl — na elos ac ku in tuku ac tu ke mutun Tempul se inge, yen mwet uh alu nu sum we. Elos ac pre nu sum ke mwe lokoalok sikyak nu selos, na kom ac porongalos ac molelosla.
If evil comes on us—sword, judgment, and pestilence, and famine—we stand before this house, and before You, for Your Name [is] in this house, and cry to You out of our distress, and You hear and save.
10 “Inge mwet Ammon, mwet Moab, ac mwet Edom elos mweuni kut. Ke pacl se papa tumasr elos ilme liki acn Egypt, kom tia lela elos in utyak nu in acn ingan. Na papa tumasr elos kuhfla liki acn selos inge, ac tia kunauselosla.
And now, behold, sons of Ammon, and Moab, and Mount Seir, whom You did not grant to Israel to go in against in their coming out of the land of Egypt, for they turned aside from off them and did not destroy them,
11 Na inge elos folokin nu sesr ke ouiya se inge — elos tuku in liskutla liki acn se inge, su kom tuh ase nu sesr.
and behold, they are repaying to us—to come to drive us out of Your possession that You have caused us to possess.
12 Kom God lasr! Sang kai fal nu selos, mweyen kut tia ku in lain un mwet mweun na lulap se su mweuni kut inge. Kut tia etu lah mea kut ac oru, na pa kut nget nu sum in kasre kut.”
O our God, do You not execute judgment on them? For there is no power in us before this great multitude that has come against us, and we do not know what we do, but our eyes [are] on You.”
13 Mukul nukewa in acn Judah, wi mutan kialos ac tulik natulos, elos tu ke mutun Tempul.
And all Judah is standing before YHWH, also their infants, their wives, and their sons.
14 Ngun lun LEUM GOD ilyak nu in sie mwet Levi su muta inmasrlon u lulap sac. Inel pa Jahaziel, wen natul Zechariah. El sie sin mwet in sou lal Asaph, mweyen el ma in fwil natul Mattaniah, Jeiel, ac Benaiah, su fita lal Asaph.
And the Spirit of YHWH has been on Jahaziel, son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly,
15 Jahaziel el fahk, “Leum Fulat, ac mwet nukewa lun Judah ac Jerusalem, LEUM GOD El fahk tuh kowos in tia fosrnga ku sangeng in lain un mwet mweun na pus se inge. Mweun uh oan inpoun God, ac tia inpouwos.
and he says, “Attend, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and O King Jehoshaphat, Thus said YHWH to you: You do not fear, nor be afraid of the face of this great multitude, for the battle [is] not for you, but for God.
16 Mweunelos lutu, ke elos ac tuku ke Innek In Utyak Nu Ziz. Kowos ac sonolos ke saflaiyen infahlfal se ma fahla nwe uten acn ma oan apkuran nu Jeruel.
Tomorrow, go down against them, behold, they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz, and you have found them in the end of the valley, the front of the wilderness of Jeruel.
17 Kowos ac fah tia mweun ke mweun se inge. Akola na ac soano; kowos ac liye ke LEUM GOD El ac asot kutangla nu suwos. Mwet Judah ac mwet Jerusalem, kowos in tia alolo ku sangeng. Fahsrot na nu ke mweun an, ac LEUM GOD El ac wi kowos!”
[It is] not for you to fight in this; station yourselves, stand, and see the salvation of YHWH with you, O Judah and Jerusalem—do not be afraid nor fear—tomorrow go out before them, and YHWH [is] with you.”
18 Na Tokosra Jehoshaphat el srimi nwe ten ac mutal sun infohk ah, ac mwet nukewa welul srimi ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD.
And Jehoshaphat bows—face to the earth—and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem have fallen before YHWH, to bow themselves to YHWH.
19 Mwet Levi in sou lal Kohath ac Korah elos tuyak ac wola ke sie pusra lulap, ac kaksakin LEUM GOD lun Israel.
And the Levites, of the sons of the Kohathites, and of the sons of the Korahites, rise to give praise to YHWH, God of Israel, with a loud voice on high.
20 Toang na ke lotutang se tok ah, mwet uh som nu wut in acn apkuran nu Tekoa. Ke elos mukuiyak, Jehoshaphat el fahk kas inge nu selos: “Mwet Judah ac mwet Jerusalem, kowos filiya lulalfongi lowos in LEUM GOD lowos, ac kowos fah tiana mukuikui. Lulalfongi ma mwet palu lal an fahk nu suwos, na ac fah wo ouiya nu suwos.”
And they rise early in the morning, and go out to the wilderness of Tekoa, and in their going out Jehoshaphat has stood and says, “Hear me, O Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, remain steadfast in your God YHWH, and be steadfast; remain steadfast in His prophets and prosper.”
21 Tukun tokosra el pwapa yurin mwet uh, el sap kutu mwet on in nokomang nuknuk loeloes ma elos nukum ke pacl in akfulat lalos, ac fahsr meet liki mwet mweun, ac on, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD, tuh lungse lal oan ma pahtpat!”
And he takes counsel with the people, and appoints singers for YHWH, and those giving praise for the honor of holiness, in the going out before the armed [men], and saying, “Give thanks to YHWH, for His kindness [is] for all time.”
22 Ke elos mutawauk in on, LEUM GOD El arulana akfohsyauk mwet mweun ma tuku in lainulos.
And at the time they have begun with singing and praise, YHWH has put ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who are coming in to Judah, and they are struck,
23 Mwet Ammon ac mwet Moab elos forang lain mwet Edom, ac onelosla nufon. Na elos forani amweuni inmasrlolos sifacna.
and the sons of Ammon stand up, and Moab, against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, to devote and to destroy, and at their finishing with the inhabitants of Seir, they helped, a man against his neighbor, to destroy.
24 Ke mwet mweun lun Judah elos sun sie tower su oan yen mwesis, elos ngetla nu yen mweun orek we ac liye tuh na mwet nukewa topelik infohk ah misa, ac wanginna sie selos kaingla.
And Judah has come to the watchtower in the wilderness, and they look toward the multitude, and behold, they [are] carcasses fallen to the earth, and none [had] an escape,
25 Jehoshaphat ac mwet lal ah fahsryak in eis ma wap, ac elos liye lah pukanten cow, mwe mongo, nuknuk, ac kutu pac ma yohk sripa. Elos sisla len tolu in orani ma wap, ac ke arulana pukanten elos tia ku in us nufon.
and Jehoshaphat comes in, and his people, to seize their spoil, and they find among them, in abundance, both goods and carcasses, and desirable vessels, and they take spoil for themselves without prohibition, and they are seizing the spoil [for] three days, for it [is] abundant.
26 In len se akakosr, elos tukeni Infahlfal Beracah ac kaksakin LEUM GOD ke ma nukewa El orala. Pa inge sripa se sis pangpang infahlfal se inge “Beracah.”
And on the fourth day they have been assembled at the Valley of Blessing, for there they blessed YHWH: therefore they have called the name of that place, “Valley of Blessing,” to this day.
27 Jehoshaphat el kol un mwet mweun lal ac folokla nu Jerusalem ke engan lulap, mweyen LEUM GOD El kutangla fin mwet lokoalok lalos.
And they return, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat at their head, to go back to Jerusalem with joy, for YHWH has made them rejoice over their enemies.
28 Ke elos sun siti uh, elos alla na nwe ke Tempul, wi pusren on ke harp ac mwe ukuk.
And they come to Jerusalem with psalteries, and with harps, and with trumpets, to the house of YHWH.
29 Mutunfacl nukewa su lohng ke LEUM GOD El kutangla mwet lokoalok lun mwet Israel, elos arulana sangeng.
And there is a fear of God on all kingdoms of the lands in their hearing that YHWH has fought with the enemies of Israel,
30 Ouinge Jehoshaphat el leum in misla, ac God El oru in oasr misla inmasrlol ac facl nukewa su apnulla.
and the kingdom of Jehoshaphat is quiet, and his God gives rest to him all around.
31 Jehoshaphat el tokosrala fin acn Judah ke el yac tolngoul limekosr, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke lusen yac longoul limekosr. Inen nina kial ah pa Azubah, acn natul Shilhi.
And Jehoshaphat reigns over Judah, a son of thirty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
32 Jehoshaphat el oru ma suwohs ye mutun LEUM GOD, oana ke Asa, papa tumal, el oru.
And he walks in the way of his father Asa, and has not turned aside from it, to do that which is right in the eyes of YHWH.
33 Tusruktu nien alu lun mwet pegan tiana kunausyukla. Mwet uh tiana forla ke insialos nufon in alu nu sin LEUM GOD lun papa tumalos.
Only, the high places have not been removed, and still the people have not prepared their heart for the God of their fathers.
34 Ma nukewa saya ma Jehoshaphat el oru, ke mutaweyen pacl el tokosra nwe ke safla, simla ke [Sramsram Matu lal Jehu Wen Natul Hanani, ] su oasr in [Sramsram Matu ke Tokosra lun Israel.]
And the rest of the matters of Jehoshaphat, the first and the last, behold, they are written among the matters of Jehu son of Hanani, who has been mentioned on the scroll of the kings of Israel.
35 Sie pacl ah Tokosra Jehoshaphat el orala sie pwapa in akupasri nu sel Ahaziah, tokosra lun acn Israel, su oru ma koluk na pus.
And after this Jehoshaphat king of Judah has joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel (he did wickedly in doing [this]),
36 Eltal musaela oak in kalkal meoa ke nien oai in siti Eziongeber.
and he joins him with himself to make ships to go to Tarshish, and they make ships in Ezion-Geber,
37 Tusruktu Eliezer wen natul Dodavahu, sie mwet Mareshah, el sensenkakinul Jehoshaphat ac fahk, “Ke sripen kom kupasr nu sel Ahaziah, LEUM GOD El ac kunausla ma kom musaela.” Ouinge, oak inge nukewa musalla ac tiana orekmakinyuk.
and Eliezer son of Dodavah, of Mareshah, prophesies against Jehoshaphat, saying, “For your joining yourself with Ahaziah, YHWH has broken up your works”; and the ships are broken, and have not retained [power] to go to Tarshish.
