1It happened after this, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
1Mokon chic eb li soldado aj Moab ut eb li soldado aj Amón queßxjunaji ribeb riqßuineb laj meunita ut queßcôeb chi pletic riqßuin laj Josafat.
2Then some came who told Jehoshaphat, saying, “A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea from Syria. Behold, they are in Hazazon Tamar” (that is, En Gedi).
2Queßcuulac li takl riqßuin laj Josafat ut queßxye re: —Nabaleb li yôqueb chak chi châlc chi pletic âcuiqßuin. Yôqueb chi châlc li cuanqueb jun pacßal li palau Mar Muerto ut yôqueb chi châlc li cuanqueb Siria. Ac cuanqueb Hazezon-tamar. Li naßajej aßan nequeßxye “En-gadi” re, chanqueb.
3Jehoshaphat was alarmed, and set himself to seek to Yahweh. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
3Cßajoß nak qui-oc xxiu laj Josafat. Quixcubsi rib ut quixpatzß xnaßleb riqßuin li Kâcuaß ut quixye nak teßxbânu lix ayûn saß chixjunil li naßajej Judá.
4Judah gathered themselves together, to seek help from Yahweh. They came out of all the cities of Judah to seek Yahweh.
4Ut eb li tenamit queßxchßutub ribeb ut queßxpatzß xtenkßanquileb chiru li Dios. Quilajeßchal saß chixjunileb li tenamit li cuanqueb Judá chi tijoc chiru li Kâcuaß.
5Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Yahweh, before the new court;
5Ut laj Josafat quixakli chiruheb laj Judá ut eb laj Jerusalén li chßutchßûqueb saß lix templo li Kâcuaß chiru li nebâl li tojeß xyâloß.
6and he said, “Yahweh, the God of our fathers, aren’t you God in heaven? Aren’t you ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in your hand, so that no one is able to withstand you.
6Ut quixye: —At Kâcuaß, at kaDios, lâat lix Dioseb li kaxeßtônil yucuaß. ¿Ma mâcuaß ta biß lâat li Dios li cuancat saß choxa? ¿Ma mâcuaß ta biß lâat li nacattaklan saß xbêneb chixjunileb li xnînkal tenamit? Saß âcuukß lâat cuan li metzßêu ut li cuanquilal. Mâ ani naru tânumtâk châcuu.
7Didn’t you, our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it to the seed of Abraham your friend forever?
7At kaDios, ¿ma mâcuaß ta biß lâat cat-isin reheb li cuanqueb saß li naßajej aßin nak yôqueb chi oc arin eb laj Israel lâ tenamit? Ut caqßue li naßajej aßin reheb re teßcuânk chi junelic xban nak eb aßan ralal xcßajol laj Abraham li raro âban.
8They lived in it, and have built you a sanctuary in it for your name, saying,
8Ut anakcuan arin cuanqueb laj Israel. Queßxyîb jun li templo re teßxlokßoni cuiß lâ cßabaß ut queßxye,
9‘If evil comes on us—the sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine—we will stand before this house, and before you, (for your name is in this house), and cry to you in our affliction, and you will hear and save.’
9Cui tâchâlk raylal saß kabên nak teßchâlk chi pletic kiqßuin, malaj li caki yajel, malaj ut cueßej xban li mâc takabânu, lâo toxaklîk châcuu chiru li templo aßin li nacatkalokßoni cuiß ut takayâba lâ cßabaß xban li raylal li yôko chixcßulbal. Ut lâat tâcuabi li katij ut toâcol, chanqueb.
10Now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom you would not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned aside from them, and didn’t destroy them;
10Anakcuan yôqueb chi châlc chi pletic kiqßuin eb laj Amón, eb laj Moab, ut eb li cuanqueb saß li tzûl Seir. Xeßchal saß eb li naßajej li incßaß cacuaj nak teßnumekß eb laj Israel nak queßel chak Egipto. Joßcan nak eb laj Israel incßaß queßxsach ruheb li tenamit aßan.
11behold, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit.
11Chaqßue taxak retal chanru nak yôqueb chixkßajcâmunquil chiku nak incßaß xkabânu raylal reheb. Teßraj nak toeßrisi saß li naßajej li xaqßue chokß ke chi junelic.
12Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that comes against us; neither know we what to do, but our eyes are on you.”
12At Kâcuaß, at kaDios, ¿ma incßaß tatrakok âtin saß xbêneb? Lâo mâcßaß kametzßêu re takacol kib chiruheb xban nak kßaxal nabaleb li yôqueb chi châlc chikasachbal. Incßaß nacanau cßaßru takabânu. Joßcan nak yôco chixyâbanquil lâ cßabaß,” chanqueb.
13All Judah stood before Yahweh, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
13Chixjunileb li cuînk aj Judá xakxôqueb aran chiru li Kâcuaß rochbeneb li rixakil ut eb li ralal xcßajol, joß nînk, joß cocß.
14Then the Spirit of Yahweh came on Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly;
14Ut lix musikß li Kâcuaß quichal riqßuin laj Jahaziel nak chßutchßûqueb aran eb laj Judá. Laj Jahaziel, aßan li ralal laj Zacarías. Laj Zacarías, aßan li ralal laj Benaía. Laj Benaía, aßan li ralal laj Jeiel. Laj Jeiel, aßan li ralal laj Matanías. Laj Jahaziel, aßan aj levita xcomoneb li ralal xcßajol laj Asaf.
15and he said, “Listen, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you king Jehoshaphat. Thus says Yahweh to you, ‘Don’t be afraid, neither be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
15Laj Jahaziel quixye reheb: —Chacuabihak, at rey Josafat. Ut cherabihak ajcuiß lâex li cuanquex Judá ut Jerusalén. Li Kâcuaß yô chixyebal êre chi joßcaßin, “Mexxucuac, chi moco chi-oc êcßaßux chirilbal li qßuila tenamit li xeßchal chi pletic êriqßuin xban nak mâcuaß lâex texpletik. Li Dios ban tâpletik riqßuineb.”
16Tomorrow go down against them. Behold, they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz. You shall find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
16Cuulaj texxic chixcßulbaleb ut teßpletik riqßuineb. Cuânkeb chak saß li taksînc Sis. Aran têtauheb cuan cuiß li rok haß nak toj mâjiß texcuulak saß li chaki chßochß re Jeruel.
17You will not need to fight this battle. Set yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh with you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed. Go out against them tomorrow, for Yahweh is with you.’”
17Lâex incßaß texpletik. Têxakab êrib aran ut incßaß tex-ecßânk. Cauhak taxak êchßôl xban nak têril chanru nak li Dios texcol lâex aj Judá ut aj Jerusalén. Mexxucuac chi moco tâchßinânk êchßôl. Texxic cuulaj chixcßulbaleb ut li Dios cuânk êriqßuin, chan.
18Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before Yahweh, worshipping Yahweh.
18Laj Josafat quixxulub rib saß chßochß. Ut chixjunileb laj Judá ut eb laj Jerusalén queßxcuikßib ribeb chiru li Kâcuaß ut queßxlokßoni.
19The Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel, with an exceeding loud voice.
19Chirix aßan eb laj levita, li ralal laj Coat ut eb li ralal laj Coré, queßxakli ut queßxlokßoni li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb laj Israel chi cau xyâb xcuxeb.
20They rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in Yahweh your God, so you shall be established! Believe his prophets, so you shall prosper.”
20Cuulajak chic nak toj ekßela queßcuacli ut queßcôeb saß li chaki chßochß Tecoa. Nak ac êlqueb re, laj Josafat quixakli chiruheb ut quixye reheb: —Cherabihak lâex aj Judá ut lâex aj Jerusalén. Chepâb li Kâcuaß lê Dios re nak aßan tâtenkßânk êre. Ut cßojobomak êchßôl riqßuineb lix profetas re nak us tex-êlk, chan.
21When he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who should sing to Yahweh, and give praise in holy array, as they went out before the army, and say, Give thanks to Yahweh; for his loving kindness endures forever.
21Nak quirakeß chi âtinac riqßuineb li tenamit, cuanqueb li queßxakabâc xban laj Josafat chi bichânc re xqßuebal xlokßal li Kâcuaß. Tiktôqueb riqßuin li akßej li kßaxtesinbil re li Kâcuaß. Aßaneb li yôqueb chi cßamoc be nak queßcôeb chiruheb li soldados ut yôqueb chixyebal, “Cheqßuehak taxak xlokßal li nimajcual Dios xban nak aßan châbil ut kßaxal nim li ruxtân saß kabên junelic.”
22When they began to sing and to praise, Yahweh set ambushers against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were struck.
22Saß li hônal nak queßxtiquib bichânc laj Judá ut laj Jerusalén re xqßuebal xlokßal li Kâcuaß, eb laj Amón ut eb laj Moab joß ajcuiß eb li queßchal chak saß li tzûl Seir, eb li yôqueb chi châlc chi pletic riqßuineb laj Judá, queßoc chixpletinquil ribeb chi ribileb rib xban nak li Dios quixsach xnaßlebeb.
23For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, utterly to kill and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, everyone helped to destroy another.
23Eb laj Moab ut eb laj Amón queßxjunaji ribeb ut queßxcamsiheb laj Seir. Nak ac queßxsach ruheb, queßxcamsi ribeb chi ribileb rib.
24When Judah came to the place overlooking the wilderness, they looked at the multitude; and behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none who escaped.
24Nak eb laj Judá queßcuulac saß li cab li najt xteram li cuan saß li chaki chßochß queßril nak tßantßôqueb saß chßochß chixjunileb li xicß queßiloc reheb laj Judá. Ac camenakeb chic chixjunileb. Mâ jun chic reheb yoßyôqueb.
25When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their spoil, they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in taking the spoil, it was so much.
25Laj Josafat ut eb lix soldado queßcôeb chixxocbal li cßaßru queßrêchani saß li plêt. Nabal li cßanjelebâl ut li châbil tßicr ut li cßaßak re ru li queßrêchani. Oxib cutan queßbay xxocbal chixjunil.
26On the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Beracah; for there they blessed Yahweh: therefore the name of that place was called The valley of Beracah to this day.
26Saß li xcâ cutan queßxchßutub ribeb laj Judá saß li ru takßa re Beraca ut queßxlokßoni li Kâcuaß. Joßcan nak toj chalen anakcuan “Ru Takßa re Beraca” nequeßxye re li naßajej aßan.
27Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in their forefront, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for Yahweh had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
27Chirix chic aßan laj Josafat quicßamoc be chiruheb laj Judá ut laj Jerusalén nak queßsukßi cuißchic Jerusalén chi kßaxal sa saß xchßôleb xban nak li Kâcuaß quicoloc reheb saß rukßeb li xicß nequeßiloc reheb.
28They came to Jerusalem with stringed instruments and harps and trumpets to the house of Yahweh.
28Nak queßcuulac Jerusalén, queßoc saß lix templo li Kâcuaß ut yôqueb chixchßeßbaleb li arpa ut li salterio ut yôqueb chixyâbasinquil lix trompeta.
29The fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries, when they heard that Yahweh fought against the enemies of Israel.
29Ut chixjunileb li nînki tenamit cßajoß nak queßxucuac nak queßrabi resil chanru nak li Kâcuaß quipletic riqßuineb li xicß nequeßiloc reheb laj Israel.
30So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; for his God gave him rest all around.
30Ut laj Josafat quicuan saß xcuanquil chi sa saß xchßôl xban nak li Kâcuaß quixqßueheb chi cuânc saß tuktûquil usilal eb li cuanqueb chi xjun sutam laj Judá.
31Jehoshaphat 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 the daughter of Shilhi.
31Oßlaju xcaßcßâl chihab cuan re laj Josafat nak qui-oc chokß xreyeb laj Judá. Ôb xcaßcßâl chihab quicuan saß xcuanquil aran Jerusalén. Lix naß, aßan lix Azuba, lix rabin laj Silhi.
32He walked in the way of Asa his father, and didn’t turn aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh.
32Laj Josafat quicuan saß tîquilal chiru li Kâcuaß joß laj Asa lix yucuaß. Ut incßaß quixcanab xbânunquil li us.
33However the high places were not taken away; neither as yet had the people set their hearts to the God of their fathers.
33Abanan incßaß queßisîc li naßajej li najt xteram li queßlokßonîc cuiß li jalanil dios. Ut eb li tenamit incßaß queßxsicß chi anchaleb xchßôl li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb lix xeßtônil yucuaß.
34Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is inserted in the book of the kings of Israel.
34Chixjunil li quilajxbânu laj Josafat nak cuan saß xcuanquil, chalen saß xticlajic toj saß rosoßjic, tzßîbanbil retalil saß li hu li quixtzßîba laj Jehú li ralal laj Hanani. Ut tzßîbanbil ajcuiß saß li hu li tzßîbanbil cuiß retalil li quilajeßxbânu lix reyeb laj Israel.
35After this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel. The same did very wickedly:
35Mokon chic laj Josafat lix reyeb laj Judá quixcßam rib saß usilal riqßuin laj Ocozías lix reyeb laj Israel. Laj Ocozías, aßan incßaß us lix naßleb chiru li Kâcuaß.
36and he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish; and they made the ships in Ezion Geber.
36Laj Josafat ut laj Ocozías queßxcßûb ru nak saß cuibal teßxyîb li nînki jucub re teßxic Tarsis. Ut queßxyîbeb li jucub aran Ezión-geber.Ut li profeta Eliezer, li ralal laj Dodava re Maresa, quixye cßaßru tixcßul li rey Josafat. Quixye: —Xban nak xacßam âcuib saß usilal riqßuin laj Ocozías, li Kâcuaß Dios tixsach ruheb li jucub li xayîb, chan. Ut eb li nînki jucub queßxtochß ribeb ut queßjoreß ut incßaß queßru chi xic Tarsis.
37Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, Yahweh has destroyed your works.” The ships were broken, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
37Ut li profeta Eliezer, li ralal laj Dodava re Maresa, quixye cßaßru tixcßul li rey Josafat. Quixye: —Xban nak xacßam âcuib saß usilal riqßuin laj Ocozías, li Kâcuaß Dios tixsach ruheb li jucub li xayîb, chan. Ut eb li nînki jucub queßxtochß ribeb ut queßjoreß ut incßaß queßru chi xic Tarsis.
