2 Whakapapa 20
1 Na i muri i tenei ka haere mai nga tama a Moapa, ratou ko nga tama a Amona, a hei hoa mo ratou ko etahi o nga Amoni, ki te whawhai ki a Iehohapata.
And it cometh to pass after this, the sons of Moab have come in, and the sons of Ammon, and with them of the peoples, against Jehoshaphat to battle.
2 Katahi ka haere mai etahi, ka korero ki a Iehohapata, ka mea, He ope nui tenei te haere mai nei ki a koe i tera taha o te moana, i Hiria. Nana, kei Hatetono Tamara ratou, ara kei Enekeri.
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.'
3 Na ka wehi a Iehohapata, a ka tahuri tona aroaro ki te rapu i a Ihowa: i karangatia ano e ia he nohopuku puta noa i a Hura.
And Jehoshaphat feareth, and setteth his face to seek to Jehovah, and proclaimeth a fast over all Judah;
4 Na ka huihuia a Hura ki te rapu i ta Ihowa. I puta ratou i nga pa katoa o Hura ki te rapu i ta Ihowa.
and Judah is gathered to inquire of Jehovah; also, from all the cities of Judah they have come in to seek Jehovah.
5 Na ka tu a Iehohapata i roto i te huihui o Hura, o Hiruharama, i te whare o Ihowa, i mua i te marae hou,
And Jehoshaphat standeth in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Jehovah, at the front of the new court,
6 A ka mea, E Ihowa, e te Atua o o matou matua, he teka ianei ko koe te Atua i te rangi, ko koe hoki te kaiwhakahaere tikanga mo nga kingitanga katoa mo nga tauiwi? kei tou ringa te kaha me te marohirohi; kahore hoki tetahi hei tu atu ki a koe.
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 He teka ianei ko koe to matou Atua i peia ai nga tangata o tenei whenua i te aroaro o tau iwi, o Iharaira, a homai ana e koe ki nga uri o Aperahama, o tou hoa aroha a ake ake?
'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 Na noho ana ratou ki konei; hanga ana e ratou ki konei he wahi tapu mo tou ingoa; i mea hoki ratou,
and they dwell in it, and build to Thee in it a sanctuary for Thy name, saying,
9 Ki te puta he aitua ki a matou, he hoari, he whakawakanga, he mate uruta, he matekai ranei, a ka tu matou ki te aronga o tenei whare, ki tou aroaro, kei tenei whare hoki tou ingoa, a ka karanga ki a koe, i a matou ka mate nei, na, mau e whakarong o mai, e whakaora.
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 Na tenei nga tama a Amona, a Moapa, a Maunga Heira, kihai nei i homai e koe ki a Iharaira kia whakaekea e ratou i to ratou haerenga mai i te whenua o Ihipa; i peka ke hoki ratou i a ratou, kihai hoki i huna i a ratou;
'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 Nana, ko ta ratou utu tenei ki a matou, e haere mai ana ki te pei i a matou i tou kainga tupu i homai nei e koe hei kainga tupu mo matou.
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 E to matou Atua, e kore ianei koe e whakawa ki a ratou? kahore hoki o matou kaha i te aroaro o tenei ope nui e haere mai nei ki a matou; kahore hoki matou e mohio me aha matou: otiia e anga ana o matou kanohi ki a koe.
'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 Na tu tonu a Hura katoa ki te aroaro o Ihowa, a ratou kohungahunga, a ratou wahine, me a ratou tamariki.
And all Judah are standing before Jehovah, also their infants, their wives, and their sons.
14 I reira ka tau ki a Tahatiere tama a Hakaraia, tama a Penaia, tama a Teiere, tama a Matania, he Riwaiti, no nga tama a Ahapa, te wairua o Ihowa i waenganui o te whakaminenga.
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 Na ka mea ia, Whakarongo, e Hura katoa, koutou ko nga tangata o Hiruharama, me koe ano hoki, e Kingi Iehohapata; ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa ki a Koutou, Kaua e wehi, kaua e pawera ki tenei ope nui; no te mea ehara i a koutou te whawhai, engari na te Atua.
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 Apopo ka haere ki raro ki te tu i a ratou: nana, kei te piki mai ratou i te pikitanga i Titi; a ka kite koutou i a ratou i te pito o te awaawa, i te ritenga o te koraha o Ieruere.
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 Kahore he rawa i whawhai ai koutou i tenei pakanga. Whakatikatika i a koutou, ka ata tu, ka matakitaki i ta Ihowa whakaoranga mo koutou, e Hura, e Hiruharama. Kaua e wehi, kaua e pawera. Apopo ka haere ki to ratou aroaro; a ko Ihowa hei hoa mo k outou.
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 Na piko tonu te kanohi o Iehohapata ki te whenua: a takoto ana a Hura katoa, ratou ko nga tangata o Hiruharama, ki te aroaro o Ihowa, koropiko ana ki a Ihowa.
And Jehoshaphat boweth — face to the earth — and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem have fallen before Jehovah, to bow themselves to Jehovah.
19 Na kua tu nga Riwaiti, nga tama a nga Kohati, nga tama a nga Korahi; kei te whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira; nui atu te reo.
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 Na ka maranga wawe ratou i te ata, a ka haere ki te koraha o Tekoa; a, i a ratou e haere ana, ka tu a Iehohapata, ka mea, Whakarongo, e Hura, koutou ko nga tangata o Hiruharama, whakapono ki ta Ihowa, ki ta to koutou Atua, a ka u koutou; whakapo no ki ta ana poropiti, a ka kake koutou.
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 Na ka whakatakoto whakaaro ia ki te iwi, a whakaritea ana e ia etahi hei waiata ki a Ihowa, hei whakamoemiti ki te ataahua o te tapu, i a ratou e haere ana i mua i te ope, hei mea, Whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa, he mau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu.
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.'
22 Na ka timata nei ratou te waiata, te whakamoemiti, ka whakatakotoria e Ihowa he pehipehi mo nga tama a Amona, a Moapa, mo o Maunga Heira i haere mai nei ki te whawhai ki a Hura; a ka patua ratou.
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 I whakatika hoki nga tama a Amona raua ko Moapa ki nga tangata o Maunga Heira, ki te huna, ki te whakangaro i a ratou; a ka poto i a ratou nga tangata o Heira, na kua piri tenei ki tenei, hei whakangaro ratou i a ratou ano.
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 A, no te taenga o Hura ki te pourewa i te koraha, te tirohanga ki te ope, nana, o ratou tinana e takoto ana i te whenua, kihai tetahi i ora.
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,
25 Na, i te haerenga o Iehohapata ratou ko tona iwi ki te tango i o ratou taonga, he tini nga taonga i kitea ki a ratou, me nga tupapaku, me nga mea e matenuitia ana; huia ana mo ratou; kihai i taea te pikau; na e toru o ratou ra e tango ana i nga taonga, i te tini hoki.
and Jehoshaphat cometh in, and his people, to seize their spoil, and they find among them, in abundance, both goods and carcases, and desirable vessels, and they take spoil to themselves without prohibition, and they are three days seizing the spoil, for it [is] abundant.
26 A i te wha o nga ra ka huihui ratou ki te raorao o Peraka: i whakapai hoki ratou ki a Ihowa ki reira; koia i tapa ai te ingoa o taua wahi, ko te raorao o Peraka, a tae noa ki tenei ra.
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 Katahi ka hoki nga tangata katoa o Hura, o Hiruharama, me Iehohapata ano i mua i a ratou; hoki koe ana ki Hiruharama; na Ihowa hoki ratou i mea kia koa ki a ratou hoariri.
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.
28 Na ka tae ratou ki Hiruharama me nga hatere, me nga hapa, me nga tetere ki te whare o Ihowa.
And they come in to Jerusalem with psalteries, and with harps, and with trumpets, unto the house of Jehovah.
29 Na tau ana te wehi o te Atua ki nga kingitanga katoa o nga whenua i to ratou rongonga kua whawhai a Ihowa ki nga hoariri o Iharaira.
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 Heoi ata takoto ana te kingitanga o Iehohapata; kua meinga hoki ia e tona Atua kia whai tanga manawa a tawhio noa.
and the kingdom of Jehoshaphat is quiet, and his God giveth rest to him round about.
31 Na kingi ana a Iehohapata ki a Hura. E toru tekau ma rima ona tau i tona kingitanga; a e rua tekau ma rima ona tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. Na ko te ingoa hoki o tona whaea ko Atupa, he tamahine na Hirihi.
And Jehoshaphat reigneth over Judah, a son of thirty and five years in his reigning, and twenty and five years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
32 I haere ano hoki ia i te ara o tona papa, o Aha, kihai hoki i peka ke i tera; i mahia e ia te mea e tika ana ki te titiro a Ihowa.
And he walketh in the way of his father Asa, and hath not turned aside from it, to do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah.
33 Otiia kihai nga wahi tiketike i whakakahoretia; kiano hoki te iwi i i whakaanga i o ratou ngakau ki te Atua o o ratou matua.
Only, the high places have not turned aside, and still the people have not prepared their heart for the God of their fathers.
34 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Iehohapata, o mua, me o muri, nana, kei te tuhituhi i roto i te pukapuka a Iehu tama a Hanani, e korerotia na i roto i te pukapuka o nga kingi o Iharaira.
And the rest of the matters of Jehoshaphat, the first and the last, lo, they are written among the matters of Jehu son of Hanani, who hath been mentioned on the book of the kings of Israel.
35 I muri i tenei ka huihuia nga whakaaro o Iehohapata kingi o Hura raua ko Ahatia kingi o Iharaira; he kino rawa ano nga mahi a tenei.
And after this hath Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, (he did wickedly in [so] doing),
36 I huihuia hoki o raua whakaaro kia hanga he kaipuke hei rere ki Tarahihi. Na hanga ana e raua nga kaipuke ki Ehiono Kepere.
and he joineth him with himself to make ships to go to Tarshish, and they make ships in Ezion-Geber,
37 Katahi a Erietere tama a Rorawa o Mareha ka poropiti i te he mo Iehohapata, ka mea, Kua huihuia na o korua whakaaro ko Ahatia, mo reira kua pakaru au mahi i a Ihowa. Na kua pakura nga kaipuke, a kihai i ahei te rere ki Tarahihi.
and prophesy doth Eliezer son of Dodavah, of Mareshah, against Jehoshaphat, saying, 'For thy joining thyself with Ahaziah, Jehovah hath broken up thy works;' and the ships are broken, and have not retained [power] to go unto Tarshish.
