Jehoshafat oloyo jo-Moab kod jo-Amon
1 Bangʼ mano jo-Moab kod jo-Amon kaachiel gi jo-Meun moko nobiro mondo oked gi Jehoshafat.
2 Jomoko nobiro monyiso Jehoshafat niya, “Oganda lweny maduongʼ moa Edom bironi koa e loka Nam kocha. Gisechopo Hazazon Tamar” (tiende ni, En Gedi). 3 Jehoshafat nobwok omiyo nokwayo Jehova Nyasaye kendo nochiko jo-Juda duto mondo otwe chiemo. 4 Jo-Juda duto nobiro kaachiel mondo gikwa Jehova Nyasaye kony, adier negia e mier mag Juda duto mondo gidwar wangʼe.
5 Eka Jehoshafat nochungʼ e nyim oganda mar Juda kod Jerusalem e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye e nyim laru manyien 6 mowacho niya,
“Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kwerewa, donge in e Nyasaye mantie e polo? In ema itelone pinyruodhi duto mag ogendini. Teko gi nyalo ni e lweti, kendo onge ngʼato manyalo siri. 7 Nyasachwa, donge niriembo joma nodak e pinyni ka jo-Israel neno mimiyo nyikwa Ibrahim osiepni pinyni nyaka chiengʼ? 8 Gisedak e pinyni kendo gisegeroni kama ler mar lemo maluongo Nyingi kagiwacho ni, 9 ‘Ka gima rach ogore kuomwa, bed ni en kum gi ligangla kata dera mar tho kata kech, to wabiro chungʼ e nyimi e hekaluni miluongo gi Nyingi kendo wanaywagreni nikech masirani, kendo iniwinjwa mi ireswa.’
10 “To koro jo-Amon gi jo-Moab kod jo-Got Seir mane ok iyiene jo-Israel mondo omonj pinygi kane gia Misri; kuom mano ne giweyogi ma ok gitiekogi. 11 Neye gima gitimonwa kuom biro mondo giriembwa e gima nimiyowa kaka girkeni marwa. 12 Nyasachwa, donge dingʼadnegi bura? Wan to waonge kod teko ma wanyalo kedogo kod oganda lweny maduongʼni ma monjowani. Wan ok wangʼeyo gima dwatim, genowa waketo kuomi.”
13 Jo-Juda duto gi mondegi gi nyithindgi kod nyithindgi matindo nochungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
14 Eka Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nolor kuom Jahaziel wuod Zekaria ma wuod Benaya, ma wuod Jeyel ma wuod Matania ma ja-Lawi kendo nyakwar Asaf kane ochungʼ e dier chokruok.
15 Nowacho niya, “Chik iti in Ruoth Jehoshafat kaachiel gi jogo duto modak Juda gi Jerusalem! Jehova Nyasaye wachoni kama: ‘Kik ibed gi luoro kendo chunyi kik parre nikech oganda lweny maduongʼni, nimar lweny ok maru, to en mar Nyasaye. 16 Kiny upangru ka udhi irgi. Gibiro biro ka gitwenyo got ka giluwo Holo mar Ziz kendo ubiro yudogi e giko piny mar kamotuo mar Jeruel. 17 Ok ochuno ni uked e lwenyni. Kawuru kuondeu, chunguru motegno mondo une loch ma Jehova Nyasaye nomiu, yaye Juda kod Jerusalem. Kik ubed maluor, kendo kik chunyu nyosre. Kiny dhiuru mondo urad kodgi nimar Jehova Nyasaye nobed kodu.’ ”
18 Jehoshafat nokulore piny auma kendo jo-Juda duto kod Jerusalem nogoyo chonggi piny e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ka gilame. 19 Eka jo-Lawi moko, jo-Kohath kod jo-Kora nochungo mopako Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach jo-Israel gi dwol maduongʼ ahinya.
20 Gokinyi mangʼich negiwuok gidhi e piny Tekoa motwo. Kane giwuok Jehoshafat nochungʼ kawacho niya, “Chikuru itu un jo-Juda kod joma odak Jerusalem! Beduru kod geno kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu eka unukuwo, bende yieuru gi jonabi mage eka unulo.” 21 Kane osepimo wach gi joge, Jehoshafat noyiero joma onego owerne Jehova Nyasaye mondo gipak berne mokalo apima mar lerne ka gitelo e nyim jolweny ka giwer niya,
“Dwokneuru Jehova Nyasaye erokamano,
nikech herane osiko nyaka chiengʼ.”
22 Kane gichako wer kendo pake, Jehova Nyasaye norundogi ma jo-Amon kod jo-Moab kaachiel gi jo-Got Seir manomonjo Juda nochako kedo kendgi giwegi mi nologi. 23 Jo-Amon gi jo-Moab noriwore mochako kedo kod jo-Got Seir monegogi kendo otiekogi pep. Kane gitieko nego jo-Got Seir, negikonyore kuom tiekore kendgi giwegi.
24 Kane jo-Juda nobiro kama omanyore gi kama otimo ongoro kendo gingʼiyo oganda lweny maduongʼ, negineno mana ringre joma otho koriere piny kendo ne githo maonge ngʼama notony. 25 Omiyo Jehoshafat gi joge nodhi mondo giyak mwandu kendo neginwangʼo gige lweny mangʼeny kod lewni kod gik moko ma nengogi tek mangʼeny ma ok neginyal tingʼo duto. Gik miyako ne ngʼeny ahinya mane otieko ndalo adek mondo giyakgi duto. 26 To chiengʼ mar angʼwen negichokore e Holo mar Beraka kama ne gipakoe Jehova Nyasaye. Ma emomiyo iluonge ni Holo mar Beraka nyaka chil kawuono.
27 Eka jo-Juda gi jo-Jerusalem duto kotelnegi kod Jehoshafat nodok Jerusalem ka gimor gi ilo nikech Jehova Nyasaye nomiyogi mor kuom loyo wasikgi. 28 Negidonjo Jerusalem e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye ka gigoyo nyatiti gi asili kod turumbete.
29 Luoro mar Nyasaye nomako pinjeruodhi mag pinje kane giwinjo kaka Jehova Nyasaye nokedo gi wasik jo-Israel. 30 Kamano pinyruoth Jehoshafat ne nigi kwe nikech Nyasache nomiye yweyo kuonde duto.
