And they come in and declare to Jehoshaphat, saying, 'Come against thee hath a great multitude from beyond the sea, from Aram, and lo, they [are] in Hazezon-Tamar — it [is] En-Gedi.'

And Jehoshaphat feareth, and setteth his face to seek to Jehovah, and proclaimeth a fast over all Judah;
4 Nifanontoñe amy zao t’Iehoda, nipay imba am’ Iehovà; le boak’ amy ze hene rova’ Iehoda ty nivoria’ iareo hitsoeke Iehovà.
and Judah is gathered to inquire of Jehovah; also, from all the cities of Judah they have come in to seek Jehovah.
5 Nijohañe amy fivori’ Iehoda naho Ierosalaimey t’Iehosafate, añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà aolo’ i kiririsa vaoy;
And Jehoshaphat standeth in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Jehovah, at the front of the new court,
6 nanao ty hoe; Ry Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ay, tsy Ihe hao t’i Andrianañahare andindimoneñe ao? Tsy Ihe hao ty Mpifehe ze fonga fifehea’ o kilakila’ ondatio? Le am-pità’o ty hafatrarañe naho ty haozarañe vaho tsy eo ty hahafitroatse ama’o.
and saith, 'O Jehovah, God of our fathers, art not Thou — God in the heavens? yea, Thou art ruling over all kingdoms of the nations, and in Thy hand [is] power and might, and there is none with Thee to station himself.
7 Tsy Ihe hao, ry Andrianañahare’ay, ty nandroake o mpimoneñe an-tane atoio aolo’ ondati’o Israeleo vaho natolo’o amo tiri’ i Avrahame rañe’oo ho nainai’e donia?
'Art not Thou our God? Thou hast dispossessed the inhabitants of this land from before Thy people Israel, and dost give it to the seed of Abraham Thy friend to the age,
8 Aa le nimoneñe ao iereo vaho nandranjy toe-masiñe ho amy tahina’oy ami’ty hoe:
and they dwell in it, and build to Thee in it a sanctuary for Thy name, saying,
9 Ie mifetsak’ ama’ay ty hankàñe, i fibaray, i zakay, ke angorosy, he hasalikoañe, le hijohañe añatrefa’ ty anjomba toy naho aolo’o eo zahay (amy te añ’anjomba atoy ty tahina’o) naho itoreova’ay ty haembera’aiy, le hijanjin-dRehe vaho handrombake.
If evil doth come upon us — sword, judgment, and pestilence, and famine — we stand before this house, and before Thee, for Thy name [is] in this house, and cry unto Thee out of our distress, and Thou dost hear and save.
10 Ie amy zao, vazohò o ana’ i Amoneo naho i Moabeo vaho i Vohi-Seirey, ie tsy nado’o ho tamè’ Israele niavotse an-tane Mitsraime añe, naho niary tsy nirotsaheñe;
'And now, lo, sons of Ammon, and Moab, and mount Seir, whom Thou didst not grant to Israel to go in against in their coming out of the land of Egypt, for they turned aside from off them and destroyed them not,
11 hehe ty atolo’ iareo ama’ay henaneo, ie mb’ etoa hañary anay amy fanaña’o natolo’o anay ho lovay.
and lo, they are recompensing to us — to come in to drive us out of Thy possession, that Thou hast caused us to possess.
12 Ry Andrianañahare’ay, Tsy Ihe hao ty hametsa-jaka am’ iereo? tsy ama’ay ty hafatrarañe hahafitroatse amo valobohòke jabajaba mb’ etoañe hiatreatre ama’aio, vaho tsy hai’ay ty hanoeñe, fe ama’o o fihaino’aio.
'O our God, dost Thou not execute judgment upon them? for there is no power in us before this great multitude that hath come against us, and we know not what we do, but on Thee [are] our eyes.'
13 Le fonga nijohañe añatrefa’ Iehovà t’Iehodà naho o keleia’eo, o vali’eo vaho o amori’eo.
And all Judah are standing before Jehovah, also their infants, their wives, and their sons.
14 Aa le nivotrak’ am’ Iakaziele, ana’ i Zekarià, ana’ i Benaià, ana’ Ieiele, ana’ i Matanià nte-Levy amo ana’ i Asafeo, ty Arofo’ Iehovà añivo’ i fivoriy;
And upon Jahaziel, son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, hath the Spirit of Jehovah been, in the midst of the assembly,
15 le hoe re: Mijanjiña, ry Iehoda naho o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo naho ry Iehosafate mpanjaka; Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà ama’ areo: Ko hembañe, ko miroreke ty amy valobohòke ra’elahiy; toe tsy anahareo i hotakotakey, fa an’ Andrianañahare.
and he saith, 'Attend, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and O king Jehoshaphat, Thus said Jehovah to you, Ye fear not, nor are afraid of the face of this great multitude, for not for you [is] the battle, but for God.
16 Mizotsoa mb’am’ iereo mb’eo hamaray; Inao! hionjomb’ am-pitroara’ i Zize iereo, le ho tendrek’ama’ areo amy figadoña’ i vavataney, aolo’ i fatrambei’ Ieroeley.
To-morrow, go ye down against them, lo, they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz, and ye have found them in the end of the valley, the front of the wilderness of Jeruel.
17 Tsy inahareo ty hialy amy hotakotakey, mijadoña eo, mijohaña an-kanintsiñe vaho isaho ty fandrombaha’ Iehovà, ry Iehodà naho Ierosalaime, ko mirevendreveñe, ko mangetraketrake, miavota hiatreke iareo hamaray; fa hañimba anahareo t’Iehovà.
Not for you to fight in this; station yourselves, stand, and see the salvation of Jehovah with you, O Judah and Jerusalem — be not afraid nor fear ye — to-morrow go out before them, and Jehovah [is] with you.'
18 Aa le nidròdreke, laharañe mb’ an-tane t’Iehosafate; le nibabok’ añatrefa’ Iehovà iaby t’Iehoda naho o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo, nitalaho am’ Iehovà.
And Jehoshaphat boweth — face to the earth — and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem have fallen before Jehovah, to bow themselves to Jehovah.

And the Levites, of the sons of the Kohathites, and of the sons of the Korhites, rise to give praise to Jehovah, God of Israel, with a loud voice on high.
20 Aa le nañaleñaleñe amy loak’ androy iereo, nionjomb’ an-diolio’ i Tekoà mb’eo; ie nañavelo iereo le nijohañe eo t’Iehosafate, nanao ty hoe; Janjiño raho, ry Iehoda naho ry mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo; iatò t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo le hijadoñe; iantofo o mpitoki’eo le hahatafetetse.
And they rise early in the morning, and go out to the wilderness of Tekoa, and in their going out Jehoshaphat hath stood and saith, 'Hear me, O Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem, remain stedfast in Jehovah your God, and be stedfast; remain stedfast in His prophets, and prosper.'
21 Ie fa nisafiry am’ondatio le tinendre’e o hisabo amy Iehovào naho o handrenge am-pihaminañe miavakeo, hiaolo o lahindefoñeo, ami’ty hoe: Andriaño t’Iehovà, fa nainai’e ty fiferenaiña’e.
And he taketh counsel with the people, and appointeth singers to Jehovah, and those giving praise to the honour of holiness, in the going out before the armed [men], and saying, 'Give ye thanks to Jehovah, for to the age [is] His kindness.'

And at the time they have begun with singing and praise, Jehovah hath put ambushments against the sons of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, who are coming in to Judah, and they are smitten,
23 Amy te nitroatse amo mpimoneñe am-bohi-Seireio o ana’ i Amone naho Moabeo, nanjamañe naho nandrotsake; aa ie fonga finongo’ iereo o mpimone’ i Seireo le songa nifanjamañe ka.
and the sons of Ammon stand up, and Moab, against the inhabitants of mount Seir, to devote and to destroy, and at their finishing with the inhabitants of Seir, they helped, a man against his neighbour, to destroy.
24 Aa ie niheo mb’amy fitilik’ abom-patrambeiy mb’eo t’Iehodà, le niisa’ iereo i valobohòkey; hehe te lolo avao ty nifitak’ an-tane eo, leo raike tsy nibotitsike.
And Judah hath come in unto the watch-tower, to the wilderness, and they look unto the multitude, and lo, they [are] carcases fallen to the earth, and there is none escaped,

And on the fourth day they have been assembled at the valley of Blessing, for there they blessed Jehovah: therefore they have called the name of that place, 'Valley of Blessing,' unto this day.
27 Songa nimpoly amy zao ze ondati’ Iehodà naho Ierosalaime, Iehosafate ty niaolo, nibalike mb’e Ierosalaime am-pirebehañe; ie nampirebehe’ Iehovà ty amo rafelahio.
And they turn back, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat at their head, to go back unto Jerusalem with joy, for Jehovah hath made them rejoice over their enemies.

And there is a fear of God on all kingdoms of the lands in their hearing that Jehovah hath fought with the enemies of Israel,
30 Toe nianjiñe ty fifehea’ Iehosafate; amy te nampitofàn’ Añahare’e o añariary azeo.
and the kingdom of Jehoshaphat is quiet, and his God giveth rest to him round about.
31 Aa le nifehe Iehoda t’Iehosafate; niorotse nifehe amy tao’e faha telopolo-lime ambiy, le nifeleke e Ierosalaime ao roapolo taoñe lime amby, i Azobà ana’ i Silhý ty tahinan-drene’e.
