¹Shure kwaizvozvo vana vaMoabhu, navana vaAmoni, navamwe vasiri vaAmoni pamwechete navo, vakasvika kuzorwa naJehoshafati.

¹Oo taas dabadeedna waxaa Yehooshaafaad ku soo kacay inay la diriraan reer Moo'aab iyo reer Cammoon iyo qaar kale oo reer Cammoon ahaa.

²Ipapo vamwe vakasvika, vakaudza Jehoshafati, vachiti, Vanhu vazhinji vanouya, vachibva Siria mhiri kwegungwa, kuzorwa nemi; tarirai, vari paHazazonitamari (ndiro Enigedi).

²Markaasaa 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.

³Ipapo Jehoshafati akatya, akashingaira kundobvunza Jehovha; akatara zuva rokutsanya panyika yose yavaJudha.

³Kolkaasaa Yehooshaafaad cabsaday, oo wuxuu isu diyaariyey inuu Rabbiga doondoono, oo dalkii Yahuudah oo dhanna soon buu ku naadiyey.

⁴VaJudha vakaungana kuzotsvaka rubatsiro kuna Jehovha; vakabva kumaguta ose aJudha kuzotsvaka Jehovha.

⁴Markaasay 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.

⁵Jehoshafati akasimuka paungano yavaJudha navanhu veJerusaremu, mumba maJehovha, pamberi poruvazhe rutsva;

⁵Markaasa Yehooshaafaad isdhex taagay shirkii dadka Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem iyagoo jooga guriga Rabbiga iyo barxadda cusub horteeda,

⁶akati, Haiwa, Jehovha Mwari wamadzibaba edu, imwi hamuzi Mwari ari kudenga here? Imwi hamuzi mubati woushe hwose bwendudzi here? Paruoko rwenyu pane simba noushe, naizvozvo hapano munhu angakudzivisai.

⁶oo 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.

⁷Imi Mwari wedu, hamuna kudzinga here vaigara panyika ino pamberi pavanhu venyu vaIsiraeri, mukaipa vana vaAbhurahamu shamwari yenyu nokusingaperi?

⁷Ilaahayagow, dadkii dalkan degganaa sow kama aad eryin dadkaaga reer binu Israa'iil hortooda, oo weligiisba sow ma aadan siin saaxiibkaagii Ibraahim farcankiisii?

⁸Vakagaramo, vakakuvakiraimo imba tsvene yezita renyu, vachiti,

⁸Haddaba iyagu way dhex degganaan jireen, oo waxay magacaaga aawadiis uga dhex dhiseen meel quduus ah, oo waxay yidhaahdeen,

⁹Kana tikawirwa nezvakaipa, kana munondo wokutonga, kana denda, kana nzara, tichamira pamberi peimba ino napamberi penyu (nokuti zita renyu riri muimba ino), tigochema kwamuri tiri pakutambudzika kwedu; ipapo muchatinzwa nokutirwira,

⁹Markii wax shar ahu ay nagu dhacaan hadday yihiin seef ama xukum 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.

¹⁰Zvino tarirai vana vaAmoni navaMoabhu navapagomo reSeiri, vamusina kutendera vaIsiraeri kupinda pakati pavo nguva yavakabva panyika yeEgipita, asi vakavarega, vakasavaparadza;

¹⁰Haddaba 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.

¹¹tarirai votitsiva, vachiuya kuzotidzinga panyika yenyu, yamakatipa ive nhaka yedu.

¹¹Bal eeg siday noogu abaal gudeen oo ay noogu soo baxeen iyagoo doonaya inay naga tuuraan hantidaadii aad dhaxal ahaan noo siisay.

¹²Haiwa, Mwari wedu, hamungavatongi here? nekuti hatine simba rokurwa navazhinji ava vanouya kuzorwa nesu; hatizivi chatingaita, asi meso edu akatarira kwamuri.

¹²Ilaahayagow, 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.

¹³Ipapo vaJudha vose vakamira pamberi paJehovha, pamwechete nepwere dzavo, navakadzi vavo, navana vavo.

¹³Oo weliba dadka Yahuudah oo dhammu Rabbigay hor taagnaayeen iyaga iyo dhallaankoodii iyo naagahoodii iyo carruurtoodiiba.

¹⁴Mweya waJehovha ukauya pamusoro paJahazieri, mwanakomana waZekariya, mwanakomana waBhenaya, mwanakomana waJeieri, mwanakomana waMatanya, muRevhi, wavanakomana vaAsafi, pakati peungano;

¹⁴Markaasaa 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.

¹⁵iye akati, Teererai, imwi vaJudha mose, nemwi mugere paJerusaremu, nemwi mambo Jehoshafati; zvanzi naJehovha kwamuri: Nemwi musatya, kana kuvhunduka nokuda kwavanhu ava vazhinji, nekuti kurwa hakuzi kwenyu, asi ndokwaMwari.

¹⁵Markaasuu 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.

¹⁶Burukai mangwana mundorwa navo; tarirai vanokwira napamukwidza weRizi; muchavawana pakuguma komupata, pamberi perenje reJerueri.

¹⁶Haddaba 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.

¹⁷imwi hamungafaniri henyu kurwapo; zvigadzireipo, murambe mumire henyu, muone kurwirwa kwenyu naJehovha, imwi vaJudha naveJerusaremu; musatya kana kuvhunduswa; budai mangwana mundorwa navo, nekuti Jehovha anemi.

¹⁷Idinku 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.

¹⁸Ipapo Jehoshafati akakotamisa musoro wake, chiso chakatarira pasi; vaJudha vose navakanga vagere Jerusaremu vakawira pasi pamberi paJehovha, vakanamata Jehovha.

¹⁸Markaasaa Yehooshaafaad madaxa foororshay oo wejiga dhulka saaray, oo dadkii Yahuudah iyo dadkii Yeruusaalem degganaa oo dhammuna Rabbiga hortiisay isku tuureen oo u sujuudeen.

¹⁹NavaRevhi vavana vavaKohati, navana vavaKora, vakasimuka vakarumbidza Jehovha Mwari waIsiraeri nenzwi guru kwazvo.

¹⁹Kolkaasaa 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.

²⁰Vakamuka mangwanani, ndokubudira kurenje reTekoa; zvino vakati vachibuda, Jehoshafati akamira, akati, Chindinzwai imwi vaJudha nemwi mugere Jerusaremu; tendai Jehovha Mwari wenyu, mugosimbiswa; tendai vaporofita vake, mugokunda.

²⁰Markaasay 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.

²¹Zvino akati arangana navanhu, akagadza vaifanira kuimbira Jehovha, nokumurumbidza nenguvo tsvene, vakafamba pamberi pehondo, vachiti, Vongai Jehovha, nekuti nyasha dzake hadziperi.

²¹Oo 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 mahad naqa, waayo, naxariistiisu weligeedba way waartaa.

²²Zvino vakati vachitanga kuimba nokurumbidza, Jehovha akaisa vavandiri kuzorwa navana vaAmoni, navaMoabhu, navapagomo reSeiri, ivo vakanga vauya kuzorwa navaJudha; vakakundwa.

²²Oo 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.

²³Nekuti vana vaAmoni nevaMoabhu vakamukira vakanga vagere pagomo reSeiri kuti vavauraye nokuvaparadza chose; zvino vakati vapedza avo vakanga vagere paSeiri, mumwe nomumwe ndokubatsira pakuurayana.

²³Waayo, 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.

²⁴Zvino vaJudha vakati vachisvika kurusvingo rwenharirire rwokurenje, vakatarira vanhu vazhinji, ndokuona zvava zvitunha zvawira pasi, kwakanga kusina akapukunyuka.

²⁴Oo 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.

²⁵Zvino Jehoshafati navanhu vake vakati vachisvika kuzotora zvavakanga vapamba, vakawana pakati pavo zvizhinji: zvipfeko, nezvinhu zvinokosha, vakazvitorera izvo, asi vakakoniwa kuzvitakura zvose nokuwanda kwazvo; vakaita mazuva matatu vachitora mhambara, nokuda kokuwanda kwazvo.

²⁵Oo 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.

²⁶Zvino pazuva rechina vakaungana pamupata weBheraka; nekuti vakandokudza Jehovha ipapo; naizvozvo zita renzvimbo iyo rakatumidzwa Mupata weBheraka kusvikira zuva ranhasi.

²⁶Oo 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.

²⁷Ipapo vanhu vose vaJudha naveJerusaremu vakadzoka, Jehoshafati akavatungamirira, vakadzokera Jerusaremu nomufaro; nekuti Jehovha akanga avafadza pamusoro pavavengi vavo.

²⁷Markaasaa 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.

²⁸Vakasvika Jerusaremu nemitengeramwa, nembira, nehwamanda, kusvikira paimba yaJehovha.

²⁸Oo Yeruusaalem iyo gurigii Rabbiga ayay soo galeen iyagoo ka dhawaajinaya shareerado, iyo kataarado, iyo turumbooyin.

²⁹Ipapo ushe hwose bwenyika iyo hwakatya Mwari kwazvo, pakunzwa kwavo kuti Jehovha akarwa navavengi vaIsiraeri.

²⁹Oo boqortooyooyinkii dalalka oo dhan waxaa ku soo degtay Ilaah cabsidiis markay maqleen in Rabbigu la diriray cadaawayaashii dadkii Israa'iil.

³⁰Zvino ushe hwaJehoshafati hwakava norugare; nekuti Mwari wake akamuzorodza pamativi ose.

³⁰Sidaas daraaddeed Yehooshaafaad boqortooyadiisii way xasilloonayd, waayo, Ilaahiis ayaa ka nasiyey hareerihiisa oo dhan.

³¹Jehoshafati akabata ushe hwaJudha; akanga asvika makore makumi matatu namashanu pakutanga kwake kubata ushe; akabata ushe paJerusaremu makore makumi maviri namashanu; zita ramai vake rakanga riri Azubha, mukunda waShirihi.

³¹Yehooshaafaad 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.

³²Akafamba nenzira yababa vake Asa; haana kutsauka pairi, akaramba achiita zvakarurama pamberi paJehovha.

³²Oo wuxuu ku socday jidkii aabbihiis Aasaa oo geesna ugama uu leexan, oo wixii Rabbiga hortiisa ku qummanaa ayuu sameeyey.

³³Kunyange zvakadaro matunhu akakwirira haana kubviswa, navanhu vakanga vachigere kutevera Mwari wamadzibaba avo nomoyo wose.

³³Habase yeeshee meelihii sarsare lama baabbi'in, oo dadkuna weli qalbigooda oo dhan ulama ay jeesan Ilaahii awowayaashood.

³⁴Zvino mamwe mabasa aJehoshafati, okutanga nookupedzisira, tarirai akanyorwa pamashoko aJehu, mwanakomana waHanani, akaiswa mubhuku yamadzimambo aIsiraeri.

³⁴Haddaba Yehooshaafaad falimihiisii kale, intii hore iyo intii dambeba, waxay ku qoran yihiin taariikhdii Yeehuu ina Xanaanii taasoo ku qoran kitaabkii boqorrada dalka Israa'iil.

³⁵Shure kwaizvozvi Jehoshafati mambo waJudha wakasungana naAhazia mambo waIsiraeri; iye aifamba nenzira yakaipa kwazvo;

³⁵Oo 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,

³⁶akasungana naye pakuvaka zvikepe zvaienda Tarishishi; vakavaka zvikepe paEZiyonigebheri.

³⁶oo wuxuu isagii kula heshiiyey inay samaystaan doonniyo Tarshiish u dhoofa, oo doonniyihii waxay ku samaysteen Cesyoon Geber.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.

³⁷Ipapo Eriezeri mwanakomana waDhodhavhahu weMaresha akaporofita pamusoro paJehoshafati, akati, Zvawasungana naAhazia, Jehovha waparadza mabasa ako. Zvikepe zvikaputsika, zvikakoniwa kuenda Tarishishi.

³⁷Markaasaa 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.
