¹And it came to pass after this [that] the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them certain of the Maonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.

¹ A ciya mo woodin banda, kala Mowab izey da Amon izey, da Amonance fooyaŋ ngey banda, i kaa zama ngey ma wongu nda Yehosafat.

²And they came and told Jehoshaphat saying, A great multitude is come against thee from beyond the sea, from Syria; and behold, they are in Hazazon-tamar, which is Engedi.

² Boro fooyaŋ mo kaa ka ci Yehosafat se ka ne: «Wongu marga kunda bambata fo goono ga kaa ka fun Suriya yongo haro banda. I goono ga kande ni gaa wongu. Guna mo, i go Hazazon-Tamar ra» (sanda En-Gedi nooya).

³And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek Jehovah, and proclaimed a fast throughout Judah.

³ Kala Yehosafat humburu. A na nga bina daŋ Rabbi ceeciyaŋ gaa. A binde fe Yahuda kulu ra ka ne i ma mehaw.

⁴And Judah gathered themselves together to ask [help] of Jehovah: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek Jehovah.

⁴ Yahuda binde margu zama ngey ma gaakasinay ceeci Rabbi do. I fun Yahuda galley kulu ra ka kaa mo zama ngey ma Rabbi ceeci se.

⁵And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Jehovah, before the new court;

⁵ Yehosafat kay mo Yahuda nda Urusalima jama game ra Rabbi windo ra, windo batama tajo jine.

⁶and he said, Jehovah, God of our fathers, art not thou God in the heavens, and rulest thou not over all the kingdoms of the nations? And in thy hand there is power and might, and none can withstand thee.

⁶ A ne: «Ya Rabbi, iri kaayey Irikoyo, manti nin no ga ti Irikoy kaŋ go beena ra, wala? Manti nin no ga dumi cindey mayrayey kulu may? Ni kambe ra mo no hina da gaabi go, hala boro kulu si gaaba nda nin ka te zaama.

⁷Hast not thou, our God, dispossessed the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and given it for ever to the seed of Abraham, thy friend?

⁷ Ya iri Irikoyo, manti nin no ka laabo wo borey gaaray ni jama Israyla jine bo? Manti ni na laabo nooyandi mo ni cora Ibrahim banda se tubu hal abada?

⁸And they have dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,

⁸ I binde goro a ra hala i na nangu hanante cina ni se a ra, ni maa sabbay se. Ni mo ne:

⁹If evil come upon us, sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, and we stand before this house and before thee -- for thy name is in this house -- and cry unto thee in our distress, then thou wilt hear and save.

⁹ Hala day hay fo laalo kaŋ iri boŋ, da takuba no, wala ciiti, wala balaaw, wala haray, iri mo, d'iri kay fuwo wo jine, da ni jine mo (zama ni maa go fuwo wo ra), d'iri n'iri jinde tunandi ni gaa iri taabo ra, ni mo ga maa ka faaba te.

¹⁰And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab, and those of mount Seir, amongst whom thou wouldest not let Israel go when they came out of the land of Egypt, (for they turned from them, and destroyed them not,)

¹⁰ Sohõ binde, a go, Amon da Mowab izey, da Seyir tondo waney, borey kaŋ yaŋ ni mana naŋ Israyla izey ma wurrandi te i laabey ra waato kaŋ i fun Misira laabo ra, amma i kamba ka fay d'ey, i man'i halaci --

¹¹behold, they reward us, in coming to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to possess.

¹¹ guna, sohõ haŋ kaŋ i go g'iri bana nd'a! I kaa zama ngey m'iri kaa ni mayray haro ra, kaŋ ni n'iri no tubu.

¹²Our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might in presence of this great company which cometh against us, neither know we what to do; but our eyes are upon thee.

¹² Ya iri Irikoyo, ni si ciiti nd'ey no? Zama iri wo, iri sinda hina fo jama bambata wo gaa kaŋ goono ga kaa k'iri wongu. Iri si bay mo hay kulu kaŋ iri ga te. Amma iri moy go ni gaa.»

¹³And all Judah stood before Jehovah, with their little ones, their wives, and their sons.

¹³ Yahuda kulu mo go ga kay Rabbi jine, ngey nda ngey attaciriyey nda ngey wandey, da ngey zankey.

¹⁴And upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, upon him came the Spirit of Jehovah, in the midst of the congregation;

¹⁴ Saaya din ra Rabbi Biya kaa Lawi bora Yahaziyel Zakariya izo, Benaya ize, Yeyel ize, Mattaniya ize boŋ; Asaf izey boro no. A go jama bindo ra.

¹⁵and he said, Be attentive, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat! Thus saith Jehovah unto you: Fear not, nor be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.

¹⁵ A ne: «Wa hanga jeeri, ya araŋ Yahuda kulu, d'araŋ mo Urusalima gorokoy, da ni bumbo mo Bonkoono Yehosafat: Yaa no Rabbi ci araŋ se: Wa si humburu, araŋ biney ma si pati mo marga bambata woone se, zama wongo manti araŋ wane no, amma Irikoy wane no.

¹⁶To-morrow go down against them: behold, they come up by the ascent of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel.

¹⁶ Suba araŋ ma koy ka wongu nd'ey. Wa guna, i goono ga kaaru Ziz zijiyaŋo do, araŋ g'i gar gooro bananta, Yeruwel saajo jine.

¹⁷Ye shall not have to fight on this occasion: set yourselves, stand and see the salvation of Jehovah [who is] with you! Judah and Jerusalem, fear not nor be dismayed; to-morrow go out against them, and Jehovah will be with you.

¹⁷ Araŋ sinda wongu teeyaŋ laami. Araŋ ma soola ka kay ka dangay siw! Ya Yahuda da Urusalima, araŋ ga di Rabbi faaba araŋ sabbay se. Wa si humburu, araŋ ma si joote mo. Suba araŋ ma fatta k'i kubay, zama Rabbi go araŋ banda.»

¹⁸And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before Jehovah, worshipping Jehovah.

¹⁸ Kala Yehosafat na nga boŋo sumbal, a moyduma go ganda. Yahuda kulu da Urusalima gorokoy kulu ye ganda Rabbi jine, i goono ga sududu Rabbi se.

¹⁹And the Levites, of the sons of the Kohathites, and of the sons of the Korahites, stood up to praise Jehovah the God of Israel with an exceeding loud voice.

¹⁹ Lawi borey da Kohat borey izey da Kora izey mo tun ka kay zama ngey ma Rabbi Israyla Irikoyo sifa da jinde gaabikooni nda cimi.

²⁰And they rose early in the morning, and went forth towards the wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in Jehovah your God, and ye shall be established; believe his prophets, and ye shall prosper!

²⁰ I tun susubay za da hinay ka furo Tekowa saajo ra. Waato kaŋ cine i goono ga fatta, Yehosafat tun ka kay ka ne: «Yahuda, d'araŋ mo Urusalima gorokoy, wa maa ay se: wa Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo cimandi, yaadin gaa no araŋ ga sinji. Araŋ m'a annabey mo cimandi, yaadin gaa no araŋ ga te zaama.»

²¹And he consulted with the people, and appointed singers to Jehovah, and those that should praise in holy splendour, as they went forth before the armed men, and say, Give thanks to Jehovah; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever!

²¹ Waato kaŋ a saaware jama gaa, a ne borey kaŋ yaŋ ga baytu Rabbi se m'a sifa, zama a gonda darza hanno. Saaya kaŋ i goono ga fun taray wongu marga jine, i ma ne: «Wa saabu Rabbi se, zama a baakasinay suujo ga tondo hal abada!»

²²And when they began the song of triumph and praise, Jehovah set liers-in-wait against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, who had come against Judah, and they were smitten.

²² Amon da Mowab da Seyir tondo izey goono ga kaa ngey ma Yahuda wongu se. Waato kaŋ Yahuda sintin ka baytu nda sifayaŋ te, kala Rabbi na gumandi ize yaŋ daŋ i ma ibarey batandi k'i ŋwa.

²³And the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, to exterminate and destroy [them]; and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.

²³ Zama Amon da Mowab izey, ngey no ka tun ka wongu nda Seyir tondo gorokoy, zama ngey m'i wi, ngey m'i halaci parkatak. Waato kaŋ i na Seyir gorokoy ban, gaa no i ye care gaa, afo kulu gurjay nga ma afo halaci.

²⁴And Judah came on to the mountain-watch in the wilderness, and they looked toward the multitude; and behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none had escaped.

²⁴ Waato kaŋ Yahuda borey kaa ka to batuyaŋ cinari kuuko kaŋ ga saajo guna do, i na jama guna. I go buukoyaŋ ga furu ganda. A sinda boro kaŋ yana, baa afo.

²⁵And Jehoshaphat and his people came to plunder the spoil of them, and they found among them in abundance, both riches with the dead bodies, and precious things, and they stripped off for themselves more than they could carry away; and they were three days in plundering the spoil, it was so much.

²⁵ Waato kaŋ cine Yehosafat da nga jama kaa zama ngey m'i ku, i na arzaka nda bankaaray, da jinay caadante yaŋ boobo gar, kaŋ yaŋ i sambu ngey boŋ se, hal a bisa haŋ kaŋ i ga hin ka sambu. I te jirbi hinza i goono ga wongu arzaka ku, a baayaŋo sabbay se.

²⁶And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah, for there they blessed Jehovah; therefore the name of that place was called The valley of Berachah, to this day.

²⁶ Waati din gaa, jirbi taacanta hane no i margu Beraka gooro ra, zama noodin no i na Rabbi albarka sifa. Woodin se no i na nango din maa daŋ Albarka gooru hala hunkuna.

²⁷And they returned, all the men of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat at their head, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for Jehovah had made them to rejoice over their enemies.

²⁷ Waato din gaa no Yahuda borey da Urusalima waney kulu ye fu. Yehosafat mo go i se jina, zama i ma ye ka koy Urusalima nda farhã, zama Rabbi n'i biney kaanandi i se i ibarey boŋ.

²⁸And they came to Jerusalem with lutes and harps and trumpets, to the house of Jehovah.

²⁸ I kaa Urusalima da moolo kayna da moola beeri yaŋ da hilliyaŋ ka koy Rabbi windo do.

²⁹And the terror of God was on all the kingdoms of the lands, when they had heard that Jehovah fought against the enemies of Israel.

²⁹ Irikoy humburkumay go laabey mayrayey kulu boŋ, saaya kaŋ i maa baaru kaŋ Rabbi wongu nda Israyla ibarey.

³⁰And the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; and his God gave him rest round about.

³⁰ Yehosafat mayra binde du laakal kanay zama a Irikoyo n'a no fulanzamay kuray kulu.

³¹And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.

³¹ Yehosafat na Yahuda may. A gonda jiiri waranza cindi gu waato kaŋ cine a sintin ka may, a may jiiri waranka cindi gu mo Urusalima ra. A nyaŋo maa ga ti Azuba, Silhi ize way no.

³²And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and turned not aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of Jehovah.

³² A na nga baabo Asa fonda gana. A mana kamba ka fay d'a, a ga ba nga ma te haŋ kaŋ ga saba Rabbi diyaŋ gaa.

³³Only, the high places were not removed; and as yet the people had not directed their hearts to the God of their fathers.

³³ Amma kulu nda yaadin i mana tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ harey kaa. Borey mo mana ngey biney sinji ngey kaayey Irikoyo gaa jina.

³⁴And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the words of Jehu the son of Hanani, which are inserted in the book of the kings of Israel.

³⁴ Yehosafat goy cindey binde, za sintinay wano ka koy kokor banda wano, a go, i n'i hantum Yehu Hanani izo tira ra kaŋ i daŋ Israyla bonkooney tira ra.

³⁵And after this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly.

³⁵ Woodin banda Yahuda bonkoono Yehosafat ye ka te me fo da Israyla bonkoono Ahaziya. Woodin mo laala no gumo.

³⁶And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish; and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.

³⁶ A na nga boŋ margu nd'a mo ngey ma hiyaŋ te kaŋ yaŋ ga koy Tarsis. I na hiyey te Eziyon-Geber ra.

³⁷And Eliezer the son of Dodavah, of Mareshah, prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, Jehovah has broken thy works. And the ships were broken, and could not go to Tarshish.

³⁷ Alwaato din ra no Eliyezer Dodabahu, Maresa wano ize na annabitaray te Yehosafat boŋ ka ne: «Za kaŋ ni na ni boŋ margu nda Ahaziya, Rabbi na ni goyey halaci.» Hiyey binde bagu, hal i si hin ka koy Tarsis koyne.
