1 Bwe wayitawo ebbanga, Abamowaabu n’Abamoni nga bali wamu n’abamu ku Bamoni ne balumba Yekosafaati okumulwanyisa.
Bangʼ mano jo-Moab kod jo-Amon kaachiel gi jo-Meun moko nobiro mondo oked gi Jehoshafat.
2 Abasajja abamu ne bagenda ne bategeeza Yekosafaati nti, “Eggye ddene eriva e Busuuli okuva emitala w’Ennyanja ey’Omunnyo, likulumbye, era lituuse mu Kazazonutamali, ye Engedi,”
Jomoko nobiro monyiso Jehoshafat niya, “Oganda lweny maduongʼ moa Edom bironi koa e loka Nam kocha. Gisechopo Hazazon Tamar” (tiende ni, En Gedi).
3 Yekosafaati n’atya nnyo n’amalirira okwebuuza ku Mukama, era n’alangirira okusiiba mu Yuda yonna.
Jehoshafat nobwok omiyo nokwayo Jehova Nyasaye kendo nochiko jo-Juda duto mondo otwe chiemo.
4 Yuda yonna n’ekuŋŋaana okunoonya okubeerwa okuva eri Mukama okuva mu bibuga byonna ebya Yuda.
Jo-Juda duto nobiro kaachiel mondo gikwa Jehova Nyasaye kony, adier negia e mier mag Juda duto mondo gidwar wangʼe.
5 Awo Yekosafaati n’ayimirira mu maaso g’ekkuŋŋaaniro lya Yuda ne Yerusaalemi, mu yeekaalu ya Mukama mu maaso g’oluggya olupya,
Eka Jehoshafat nochungʼ e nyim oganda mar Juda kod Jerusalem e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye e nyim laru manyien
6 n’ayogera nti, “Ayi Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjaffe, si ggwe Katonda ow’omu ggulu? Si ggwe ofuga obwakabaka bwonna mu nsi? Obuyinza n’amaanyi biri mu mukono gwo, n’okubaawo ne watabaawo n’omu ayinza okuyimirira mu maaso go.
mowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kwerewa, donge in e Nyasaye mantie e polo? In ema itelone pinyruodhi duto mag ogendini. Teko gi nyalo ni e lweti, kendo onge ngʼato manyalo siri.
7 Ayi Katonda waffe, si ggwe wagobamu abatuuze abaali mu nsi eno mu maaso g’abantu bo Isirayiri, n’ogiwa ezzadde lya Ibulayimu mukwano gwo okugibeerangamu emirembe gyonna?
Nyasachwa, donge niriembo joma nodak e pinyni ka jo-Israel neno mimiyo nyikwa Ibrahim osiepni pinyni nyaka chiengʼ?
8 Era bagibaddemu ne bazimbamu ekifo ow’okusinziza erinnya lyo, nga boogera nti,
Gisedak e pinyni kendo gisegeroni kama ler mar lemo maluongo Nyingi kagiwacho ni,
9 ‘Bwe tulituukibwako akabi konna, oba ekitala eky’okusala omusango, oba lumbe, oba njala, tunaayimiriranga mu maaso go, ne mu maaso ga yeekaalu eno okuli erinnya lyo, ne tukukaabiriranga mu kulumwa kwaffe n’otuwulira era n’otulokola.’
‘Ka gima rach ogore kuomwa, bed ni en kum gi ligangla kata dera mar tho kata kech, to wabiro chungʼ e nyimi e hekaluni miluongo gi Nyingi kendo wanaywagreni nikech masirani, kendo iniwinjwa mi ireswa.’
10 “Naye kaakano laba, abasajja ba Amoni ne Mowaabu n’ab’oku Lusozi Seyiri, ab’omu kibangirizi kye wagaana Isirayiri okulumba bwe baava mu nsi y’e Misiri, era babeewala ne batagenda kubazikiriza,
“To koro jo-Amon gi jo-Moab kod jo-Got Seir mane ok iyiene jo-Israel mondo omonj pinygi kane gia Misri; kuom mano ne giweyogi ma ok gitiekogi.
11 laba bwe baagala okutusasula nga batugobaganya mu kifo kye watuwa ng’omugabo gwaffe.
Neye gima gitimonwa kuom biro mondo giriembwa e gima nimiyowa kaka girkeni marwa.
12 Ayi Katonda waffe, toobasalire musango? Kubanga tetulina maanyi ga kulwana na ggye lino eddene eritulumbye. Tetumanyi kya kukola, wabula amaaso gaffe gatunuulidde ggwe.”
Nyasachwa, donge dingʼadnegi bura? Wan to waonge kod teko ma wanyalo kedogo kod oganda lweny maduongʼni ma monjowani. Wan ok wangʼeyo gima dwatim, genowa waketo kuomi.”
13 Abasajja bonna aba Yuda, wamu ne bakyala baabwe, n’abaana baabwe, n’abaana abasemberayo ddala obuto, ne bayimirira mu maaso ga Mukama.
Jo-Juda duto gi mondegi gi nyithindgi kod nyithindgi matindo nochungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
14 Awo Omwoyo wa Mukama n’akka ku Yakaziyeeri mutabani wa Zekkaliya, muzzukulu wa Benaya muzzukulu wa Yeyeri, muzzukulu wa Mattaniya, Omuleevi ow’ezzadde lya Asafu ng’ayimiridde wakati mu lukuŋŋaana.
Eka Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nolor kuom Jahaziel wuod Zekaria ma wuod Benaya, ma wuod Jeyel ma wuod Matania ma ja-Lawi kendo nyakwar Asaf kane ochungʼ e dier chokruok.
15 N’ayogera nti, “Kabaka Yekosafaati, ne Yuda yenna, n’abatuuze ba Yerusaalemi, kino Mukama ky’abagamba nti, ‘Temutya era temuggwaamu mwoyo olw’eggye eryo eddene, kubanga olutalo si lwammwe, naye lwa Katonda.
Nowacho niya, “Chik iti in Ruoth Jehoshafat kaachiel gi jogo duto modak Juda gi Jerusalem! Jehova Nyasaye wachoni kama: ‘Kik ibed gi luoro kendo chunyi kik parre nikech oganda lweny maduongʼni, nimar lweny ok maru, to en mar Nyasaye.
16 Enkya muserengete mubasisinkane; laba bajja kwambukira awalinnyirwa e Zizi, era munaabasisinkana ekiwonvu we kikoma mu ddungu lya Yerweri.
Kiny upangru ka udhi irgi. Gibiro biro ka gitwenyo got ka giluwo Holo mar Ziz kendo ubiro yudogi e giko piny mar kamotuo mar Jeruel.
17 Tekijja kubeetagisa kulwana lutalo luno. Mubeere mu bifo byammwe, mube bagumu mulabe obuwanguzi Mukama bw’anaabawa mmwe Yuda ne Yerusaalemi. Temutya wadde okuggwaamu omwoyo; enkya mugende mubasisinkane, Mukama anaabeera nammwe.’”
Ok ochuno ni uked e lwenyni. Kawuru kuondeu, chunguru motegno mondo une loch ma Jehova Nyasaye nomiu, yaye Juda kod Jerusalem. Kik ubed maluor, kendo kik chunyu nyosre. Kiny dhiuru mondo urad kodgi nimar Jehova Nyasaye nobed kodu.’”
18 Awo Yekosafaati n’avuunama amaaso ge ku ttaka, era ne Yuda yenna n’abatuuze bonna ab’e Yerusaalemi ne bavuunama wansi mu maaso ga Mukama ne bamusinza.
Jehoshafat nokulore piny auma kendo jo-Juda duto kod Jerusalem nogoyo chonggi piny e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ka gilame.
19 Abamu ku Baleevi, Abakokasi n’abalala nga Bakoola ne bayimirira okutendereza Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri, n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka.
Eka jo-Lawi moko, jo-Kohath kod jo-Kora nochungo mopako Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach jo-Israel gi dwol maduongʼ ahinya.
20 Ne bakeera mu makya ne bagenda mu ddungu lya Tekowa. Bwe baali nga bagenda Yekosafaati n’ayimirira n’abagamba nti, “Mumpulirize, Yuda n’abantu ab’e Yerusaalemi! Mube n’okukkiriza mu Mukama Katonda wammwe munaanywezebwa; mukkirize bannabbi be, munaalaba omukisa.”
Gokinyi mangʼich negiwuok gidhi e piny Tekoa motwo. Kane giwuok Jehoshafat nochungʼ kawacho niya, “Chikuru itu un jo-Juda kod joma odak Jerusalem! Beduru kod geno kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu eka unukuwo, bende yieuru gi jonabi mage eka unulo.”
21 Awo bwe yamala okwebuuza ku bantu, n’alonda abasajja ab’okuyimbira Mukama, n’okumutendereza olw’ekitiibwa ky’obutuukirivu bwe, abakulemberamu eggye, nga boogera nti, “Mwebaze Mukama kubanga okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna.”
Kane osepimo wach gi joge, Jehoshafat noyiero joma onego owerne Jehova Nyasaye mondo gipak berne mokalo apima mar lerne ka gitelo e nyim jolweny ka giwer niya, “Dwokneuru Jehova Nyasaye erokamano, nikech herane osiko nyaka chiengʼ.”
22 Awo bwe batandika okuyimba n’okutendereza, Mukama n’ataayiza abasajja ba Amoni, n’aba Mowaabu, n’ab’oku Lusozi Seyiri, abaali balumbye Yuda, ne bawangulwa.
Kane gichako wer kendo pake, Jehova Nyasaye norundogi ma jo-Amon kod jo-Moab kaachiel gi jo-Got Seir manomonjo Juda nochako kedo kendgi giwegi mi nologi.
23 Abasajja ba Amoni n’aba Mowaabu ne bagolokokera ku basajja ab’oku Lusozi Seyiri ne babazikiriza, era bwe baamala okubazikiriza, ne bakyukiragana ne battiŋŋana.
Jo-Amon gi jo-Moab noriwore mochako kedo kod jo-Got Seir monegogi kendo otiekogi pep. Kane gitieko nego jo-Got Seir, negikonyore kuom tiekore kendgi giwegi.
24 Awo abasajja aba Yuda bwe baatuuka ku munaala ogw’eddungu, ne batunuulira eggye eddene, laba nga bonna mirambo egigudde, nga tewaliwo n’omu eyawonyeewo.
Kane jo-Juda nobiro kama omanyore gi kama otimo ongoro kendo gingʼiyo oganda lweny maduongʼ, negineno mana ringre joma otho koriere piny kendo ne githo maonge ngʼama notony.
25 Yekosafaati n’abantu be bwe bajja okutwala omunyago, basangawo ebintu bingi n’engoye nnyingi, n’eby’obugagga bingi, okusinga n’ebyo bye baali basobola okwetikka. Baamala ennaku ssatu nga babisomba, olw’obungi bwabyo.
Omiyo Jehoshafat gi joge nodhi mondo giyak mwandu kendo neginwangʼo gige lweny mangʼeny kod lewni kod gik moko ma nengogi tek mangʼeny ma ok neginyal tingʼo duto. Gik miyako ne ngʼeny ahinya mane otieko ndalo adek mondo giyakgi duto.
26 Ku lunaku olwokuna ne bakuŋŋaanira mu kiwonvu ekya Beraka, okutendereza Mukama, kyekyava kituumibwa Ekiwonvu kya Beraka, ne leero.
To chiengʼ mar angʼwen negichokore e Holo mar Beraka kama ne gipakoe Jehova Nyasaye. Ma emomiyo iluonge ni Holo mar Beraka nyaka chil kawuono.
27 Oluvannyuma, buli musajja wa Yuda n’owa Yerusaalemi, nga bakulemberwamu Yekosafaati, ne baddayo e Yerusaalemi nga basanyuse, kubanga Mukama yali abawadde essanyu olw’okuwangula abalabe baabwe.
Eka jo-Juda gi jo-Jerusalem duto kotelnegi kod Jehoshafat nodok Jerusalem ka gimor gi ilo nikech Jehova Nyasaye nomiyogi mor kuom loyo wasikgi.
28 Ne bayingira Yerusaalemi, ne bagenda mu yeekaalu ya Mukama nga bakutte entongooli, n’ennanga, n’amakondeere.
Negidonjo Jerusalem e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye ka gigoyo nyatiti gi asili kod turumbete.
29 Entiisa ya Mukama n’ejja ku bwakabaka bwonna obw’omu mawanga, bwe baawulira nga Mukama yalwana n’abalabe ba Isirayiri.
Luoro mar Nyasaye nomako pinjeruodhi mag pinje kane giwinjo kaka Jehova Nyasaye nokedo gi wasik jo-Israel.
30 Era obwakabaka bwa Yekosafaati ne buba n’emirembe, kubanga Katonda we yamuwa emirembe enjuuyi zonna.
Kamano pinyruoth Jehoshafat ne nigi kwe nikech Nyasache nomiye yweyo kuonde duto.
31 Yekosafaati n’afuga Yuda. Yalina emyaka amakumi asatu mu etaano we yafuukira kabaka wa Yuda, era n’afugira emyaka amakumi abiri mu etaano mu Yerusaalemi, ne nnyina erinnya lye nga ye Azuba muwala wa Siruki.
Mano e kaka Jehoshafat norito Juda. Ne en ja-higni piero adek gabich kane obedo ruodh Juda kendo norito piny kodak Jerusalem kuom higni piero ariyo gabich. Min mare ne nyinge Azuba nyar Shilhi.
32 N’atambulira mu kkubo lya Asa kitaawe, n’atalivaamu, era n’akola ebyali ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama.
Noluwo yore Asa wuon mare kendo ne ok oweyogi, nimar notimo gima kare e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
33 Naye ebifo ebigulumivu teyabiggyaawo, so n’abantu ne bataweerayo ddala mitima gyabwe eri Katonda wa bajjajjaabwe.
To kata kamano kuonde motingʼore gi malo mag lemo ne ok omuki kendo ji ne pok oketo chunygi kuom Nyasach kweregi.
34 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyaliwo mu mulembe gwa Yekosafaati, okuva ku ntandikwa ye okutuusa ku nkomerero ye, byawandiikibwa mu bitabo bya Yeeku mutabani wa Kanani, era biri ne mu kitabo ekya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri.
Gik mamoko manotimore e ndalo loch Jehoshafat aa chakruok nyaka gikogi ondikgi e weche mag ndalo mag Jehu wuod Hanani kaka ochan-gi e kitap ruodhi mag Israel.
35 Bwe waayitawo ebbanga, Yekosafaati kabaka wa Yuda n’akola endagaano ne Akaziya kabaka wa Isirayiri, omukozi w’ebibi.
Bangʼe Jehoshafat ruodh Juda notimo winjruok kod Ahazia ruodh Israel manongʼadne bura nikech timbene maricho.
36 N’ateesa naye okuzimba ebyombo ebyamaguzi biseeyeeyenga okugenda e Talusiisi, era ne babizimbira mu Eziyonigeba.
Ne giwinjore ni gihondho yiedhi mangʼeny mag loko ohala. Bangʼe kane oselosgi Ezion Geber,
37 Mu kiseera ekyo Eryeza mutabani wa Dodavaku ow’e Malesa n’ayogera ebyobunnabbi eri Yekosafaati ng’agamba nti, “Kubanga okoze endagaano ne Akaziya, n’omwegattako, Mukama alizikiriza by’okoze.” Era ebyombo ne bimenyekamenyeka, ne bitasobola kugenda Talusiisi.
Eliezer wuod Dodavahu ma ja-Maresha nokoro wach marach kuom Jehoshafat kowacho niya, “Nikech isetimo winjruok kod Ahazia, Jehova Nyasaye biro ketho gigo ma iseloso.” Yiedhigo nobarore kendo ne ok ginyal kwangʼ mondo gitim ohala.
