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.
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.
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).
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).
3Jehoshaphat was alarmed, and set himself to seek to Yahweh. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
3 Kala Yehosafat humburu. A na nga bina daŋ Rabbi ceeciyaŋ gaa. A binde fe Yahuda kulu ra ka ne i ma mehaw.
4Judah gathered themselves together, to seek help from Yahweh. They came out of all the cities of Judah to seek Yahweh.
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.
5Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Yahweh, before the new court;
5 Yehosafat kay mo Yahuda nda Urusalima jama game ra Rabbi windo ra, windo batama tajo jine.
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.
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.
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?
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?
8They lived in it, and have built you a sanctuary in it for your 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:
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.’
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.
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;
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, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit.
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, 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.”
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.»
13All Judah stood before Yahweh, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
13 Yahuda kulu mo go ga kay Rabbi jine, ngey nda ngey attaciriyey nda ngey wandey, da ngey zankey.
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;
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, “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.
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.
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.
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.
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.’”
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.»
18Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before Yahweh, worshipping Yahweh.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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.»
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.
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!»
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
28They came to Jerusalem with stringed instruments and harps and trumpets to the house of Yahweh.
28 I kaa Urusalima da moolo kayna da moola beeri yaŋ da hilliyaŋ ka koy Rabbi windo do.
29The fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries, when they heard that Yahweh 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.
30So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; for his God gave him rest all around.
30 Yehosafat mayra binde du laakal kanay zama a Irikoyo n'a no fulanzamay kuray kulu.
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.
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.
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.
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.
33However the high places were not taken away; neither as yet had the people set 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.
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.
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.
35After this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel. The same 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.
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.
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.
