Taariikhdii Labaad 20
1 Oo taas dabadeedna waxaa Yehooshaafaad ku soo kacay inay la diriraan reer Moo'aab iyo reer Cammoon iyo qaar kale oo reer Cammoon ahaa.
Later [armies from] Moab and Ammon and some soldiers from [the] Meun [area in Edom] came [to fight] against Jehoshaphat’s [army].
2 Markaasaa qaar yimid oo waxay Yehooshaafaad u soo sheegeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Waxaa kugu soo socda col faro badan oo ka imanaya badda shishadeeda iyo dalka Suuriya, oo bal eeg haatan waxay joogaan Xasason Taamaar oo ah Ceyn Gedii.
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 Kolkaasaa Yehooshaafaad cabsaday, oo wuxuu isu diyaariyey inuu Rabbiga doondoono, oo dalkii Yahuudah oo dhanna soon buu ku naadiyey.
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 Markaasay dadkii Yahuudah oo dhammu iswada urursadeen inay Rabbiga caawimaad ka weyddiistaan, oo xataa magaalooyinkii dalka Yahuudah oo dhan way uga soo baxeen inay Rabbiga doondoonaan.
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 Markaasa Yehooshaafaad isdhex taagay shirkii dadka Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem iyagoo jooga guriga Rabbiga iyo barxadda cusub horteeda,
Then Jehoshaphat stood up in front of the people of Judah in front of the new courtyard of the temple,
6 oo wuxuu yidhi, Rabbiyow Ilaahii awowayaashayow, sow ma ahid Ilaaha samada ku jira? Oo sow ma ahid kan u taliya kulli boqortooyooyinka quruumaha oo dhan? Oo gacantaadana waxaa ku jira xoog iyo itaal oo sidaas daraaddeed ninna kuma hor istaagi karo.
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 Ilaahayagow, dadkii dalkan degganaa sow kama aad eryin dadkaaga reer binu Israa'iil hortooda, oo weligiisba sow ma aadan siin saaxiibkaagii Ibraahim farcankiisii?
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 Haddaba iyagu way dhex degganaan jireen, oo waxay magacaaga aawadiis uga dhex dhiseen meel quduus ah, oo waxay yidhaahdeen,
We have lived here and have built a temple where we, your people, worship you. We said,
9 Markii wax shar ahu ay nagu dhacaan hadday yihiin seef ama xukun ama belaayo ama abaar, annagu waxaan soo hor istaagi doonnaa gurigan iyo adiga, (waayo, magacaagu wuxuu ku jiraa gurigan), markaasaannu kuu qayshan doonnaa annagoo dhib ku jirna, oo adna waad na maqli doontaa oo waad na badbaadin doontaa.
'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 Haddaba bal eeg reer Cammoon iyo reer Moo'aab iyo reer Buur Seciir oo aad reer binu Israa'iil markay dalka Masar ka soo baxeen u diidday inay dalkooda galaan, laakiinse gees bay uga leexdeen oo mana ay baabbi'in.
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 Bal eeg siday noogu abaalgudeen oo ay noogu soo baxeen iyagoo doonaya inay naga tuuraan hantidaadii aad dhaxal ahaan noo siisay.
[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 Ilaahayagow, miyaadan iyaga xukumi doonayn? Waayo, annagu itaal uma hayno guutadan weyn oo nagu soo socota, oo weliba wax aannu samaynona ma naqaan, laakiinse indhahayagu adigay kuu soo jeedaan.
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 Oo weliba dadka Yahuudah oo dhammu Rabbigay hor taagnaayeen iyaga iyo dhallaankoodii iyo naagahoodii iyo carruurtoodiiba.
All the men of Judah and their wives and children and babies were standing there in the presence of Yahweh [while Jehoshaphat prayed].
14 Markaasaa ruuxii Rabbigu wuxuu ku soo degay Yaxasii'eel ina Sekaryaah, kaasoo ahaa ina Benaayaah, oo ahaa ina Yecii'eel, oo ahaa ina Matanyaah, oo reer Aasaaf ahaa, oo reer Laawi ka sii ahaa, isagoo shirka ku dhex jira.
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 Markaasuu yidhi, Kulligiin dadka Yahuudah, iyo kuwiinna Yeruusaalem deggan, iyo adiga Boqor Yehooshaafaad ahowba, wada maqla. Rabbigu wuxuu idinku leeyahay, Dadkan faraha badan daraaddiis ha u cabsanina, hana u qalbi jabina, waayo, dagaalka ma lihidin, laakiinse Ilaah baa iska leh.
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 Haddaba idinku berrito u dhaadhaca iyaga, oo bal eeg, waxay soo korayaan jiirta Siis, oo waxaad ka heli doontaan meesha dooxadu ku dhammaato oo ka horraysa cidlada Yeruu'eel.
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 Idinku uma baahnaan doontaan inaad dagaalkan gashaan, haddaba dadkii Yahuudah iyo dadkii Yeruusaalemow, joogsada, oo iska taagnaada, oo eega badbaadada Rabbigu idin badbaadinayo; berrito iyaga u baxa, oo ha cabsanina, hana qalbi jabina, maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga ayaa idinla jira.
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 Markaasaa Yehooshaafaad madaxa foororshay oo wejiga dhulka saaray, oo dadkii Yahuudah iyo dadkii Yeruusaalem degganaa oo dhammuna Rabbiga hortiisay isku tuureen oo u sujuudeen.
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 Kolkaasaa kuwii reer Laawi oo ahaa reer Qohaad iyo reer Qorax waxay u istaageen inay Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil cod aad iyo aad u weyn ku ammaanaan.
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 Markaasay aroor hore kaceen oo waxay u ambabbaxeen xagga cidladii Teqooca, oo intay baxayeen ayaa Yehooshaafaad istaagay oo yidhi, Dadka Yahuudah iyo kuwiinna Yeruusaalem degganow, i maqla, rumaysta Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah oo waad xoogaysan doontaan, oo rumaysta nebiyadiisa oo waad liibaani doontaan.
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 Oo markuu dadkii la tashaday ayuu doortay kuwii Rabbiga u gabyi lahaa oo ammaani lahaa iyagoo dhar quduus ah qaba oo ciidanka hor socda oo leh, Rabbiga ku mahadnaqa, waayo, naxariistiisu weligeedba way waartaa.
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 Oo markay bilaabeen inay gabyaan oo Ilaah ammaanaan ayaa Rabbigu rag gaadmo ah ku soo kiciyey reer Cammoon iyo reer Moo'aab iyo reer Buur Seciir oo ku soo kacay dadkii Yahuudah, oo iyagii waa la laayay.
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 Waayo, reer Cammoon iyo reer Moo'aab ayaa is hortaageen dadkii degganaa Buur Seciir inay dhammaantood laayaan oo wada baabbi'iyaan, oo markay wada baabbi'iyeen dadkii Buur Seciir degganaa ayaa mid kastaaba kan kale ku caawiyey inuu nin kale dilo.
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 Oo dadkii Yahuudah markay yimaadeen meeshii dheerayd ee cidlada ee wax laga dhawro ayay fiiriyeen dadkii faraha badnaa, oo waxay arkeen inay yihiin meydad dhulka ku dhacay, oo midna ma baxsan.
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 Oo Yehooshaafaad iyo dadkiisii markay u yimaadeen inay iyaga furtaan waxay dhexdoodii ka heleen maal badan oo meydadka la yaal iyo alaab qaali ah oo ay nafsaddooda u furteen, oo waxaasuna waxay qaadan karaan waa ka badnaayeen, oo intii saddex maalmood ah ayay dhicii guranayeen, maxaa yeelay, aad iyo aad buu u badnaa.
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 Oo maalintii afraad ayay ku shireen dooxada Barako, waayo, halkaasay Rabbiga ku ammaaneen, sidaas daraaddeed meeshaas magaceedii waxaa loo bixiyey Dooxadii Barako, oo ilaa maantadanna waa loo yaqaan.
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 Markaasaa dadkii Yahuudah iyo dadkii Yeruusaalem oo dhammu iyagoo Yehooshaafaad u horreeyo waxay ku noqdeen Yeruusaalem iyagoo faraxsan, waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu kaga farxiyey libtii ay cadaawayaashoodii ka heleen.
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 Oo Yeruusaalem iyo gurigii Rabbiga ayay soo galeen iyagoo ka dhawaajinaya shareerado, iyo kataarado, iyo turumbooyin.
When they arrived at Jerusalem, they went to the temple, [playing] harps and lutes and trumpets.
29 Oo boqortooyooyinkii dalalka oo dhan waxaa ku soo degtay Ilaah cabsidiis markay maqleen in Rabbigu la diriray cadaawayaashii dadkii Israa'iil.
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 Sidaas daraaddeed Yehooshaafaad boqortooyadiisii way xasilloonayd, waayo, Ilaahiis ayaa ka nasiyey hareerihiisa oo dhan.
Then there was peace in the kingdom that was ruled by Jehoshaphat, because God had caused the surrounding nations not to attack it.
31 Yehooshaafaad boqor buu ka ahaa dalka Yahuudah, oo markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray shan iyo soddon sannadood, oo Yeruusaalemna shan iyo labaatan sannadood buu boqor ku ahaa, oo hooyadiis magaceedana waxaa la odhan jiray Casuubaah ina Shilxii.
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 Oo wuxuu ku socday jidkii aabbihiis Aasaa oo geesna ugama uu leexan, oo wixii Rabbiga hortiisa ku qummanaa ayuu sameeyey.
He did things that were pleasing to Yahweh, like his father Asa had done, and he did not stop doing those things.
33 Habase yeeshee meelihii sarsare lama baabbi'in, oo dadkuna weli qalbigooda oo dhan ulama ay jeesan Ilaahii awowayaashood.
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 Haddaba Yehooshaafaad falimihiisii kale, intii hore iyo intii dambeba, waxay ku qoran yihiin taariikhdii Yeehuu ina Xanaanii taasoo ku qoran kitaabkii boqorrada dalka Israa'iil.
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 Oo taas dabadeedna Yehooshaafaad oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah xidhiidh buu la yeeshay Axasyaah oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Israa'iil kaasoo shuqulkiisii aad iyo aad u xumaa,
During his reign, Jehoshaphat made a treaty with Ahaziah, the king of Israel, who was a very wicked king.
36 oo wuxuu isagii kula heshiiyey inay samaystaan doonniyo Tarshiish u dhoofa, oo doonniyihii waxay ku samaysteen Cesyoon Geber.
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 Markaasaa Eliiceser ina Dodaawaahuu oo ahaa reer Maareeshaah ayaa Yehooshaafaad wax ka sii sheegay oo yidhi, Heshiiska aad Axasyaah la heshiisay aawadiis ayaa Rabbigu u burburiyey shuqulkaagii. Oo doonniyihiina way wada jajabeen, oo way kari waayeen inay Tarshiish u dhoofaan.
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.
