Josafat ta taataa Ovamoab nOvaammoni
1 Konima yoinima ei ovana vaMoab novana vaAmmoni napamwe navo ovanhu vamwe vehe fi Ovaammoni ve uya okulwifa Josafat. 2 Josafat eshi a shiivifilwa oshinima eshi taku tiwa: “Eengudu dihapu tadi di kombinga inya yefuta, kuEdom, tadi uya oku ku lwifa, ndele tala, vo aveshe ve li muHaseson-Tamar, nokutya muEngedi,” 3 Josafat okwa tila nokwe liameka okukonga Omwene nokwa vilikila muJuda ashishe efiku lelidiliko. 4 NOvajuda va ongala va ka konge ekwafo lOmwene; moilando aishe yomuJuda ove uya okukonga Omwene. 5 Opo nee Josafat okwa ya, ta kala ofika mokati koshiongalele shomuJuda noshomuJerusalem, mongulu yOmwene, komesho yolupale lipe, 6 ndele ta ti: “Omwene Kalunga kootate, Oove Kalunga komeulu, ndele Oove omupangeli woilongo aishe yoiwana. Heeno, meke loye omu neenghono nouladi, onghee hano kape na ou ta dulu oku ku kondjifa. 7 Haave Kalunga ketu, wa taataa oonakukalamo medu eli komesho yovanhu voye Ovaisraeli, ndele we li yandja fiyo alushe koludalo laAbraham, kaume koye? 8 Ndele va tula mo mulo, ndele ve ku tungila mo otembeli okefimano ledina loye, tava ti: 9 ‘Ngeenge hatu hangika komupya ile keongamukonda ile kehandukilo ile koudu u nolutapo ile kondjala, opo hatu holoka komesho yongulu ei nokoshipala shoye, osheshi edina loye li li mongulu ei noku ku ifana moudjuu wetu, opo Ove u tu kwafe noku tu xupifa.’ 10 Ndele tala, ovana vaAmmoni novana vaMoab novanhu vokeemhunda daSeir paife ove li apa, monhele yavo Ove ino itavela Ovaisraeli va taulule mo, vo eshi va dja medu laEgipiti. Ndelenee ve va dingilila ndele inave va hanauna po. 11 Heeno, tala, paife tave uya ve tu alulile owii noku tu taataa mo moshilongo shetu, osho twe shi pewa kwOove. 12 Kalunga ketu, ito va tokola? Osheshi mufye kamu neenghono okulwifa ongudu inene tai tu homona. Ndele inatu shiiva eshi tu nokuninga, ndelenee omesho etu taa tale kwoove.”
13 NOvajuda aveshe va kala ofika koshipala shOmwene pamwe nounona vavo novalikadi vavo novana vavo ovamati. 14 Opo nee Omhepo yOmwene ye uya mokati koshiongalele, kuJahasiel yaSakaria yaBenaja yaJeiel yaMattanja, Omulevi, womoludalo laAsaf, 15 ndele ye ta ti: “Pwilikineni amushe nye vomuJuda noonakukalamo muJerusalem, naave yo, ohamba Josafat! Omwene te mu lombwele ngaha: ‘Inamu tila, inamu haluka molwongudu oyo inene, osheshi olwoodi kali fi leni, ndelenee olaKalunga. 16 Mongula indeni mu ke va lwife. Tala, vo tave uya noshikulundu shaSis, ndele tamu ke va shakeneka komunghulo wefilu koushilo wombuwa yaJeruel. 17 Hanye tamu ka lwa. Fikameni, kaleni mu li ofika ndele taleni nhumbi Omwene te mu xupifa, nye Ovajuda noonakukalamo muJerusalem.’ Inamu tila ndele inamu haluka. Mongula fikameni mu va homone, nOmwene ta ka kala pamwe nanye.”
18 Opo nee Josafat e linyongamena oshipala shaye poshi, nOvajuda aveshe noonakukalamo muJerusalem va wila eombe koshipala shOmwene, va ilikana Omwene. 19 NOvalevi vomovana Ovakohati novomovana Ovakora, va kala ofika va hambelele Omwene, Kalunga kaIsrael nondaka inene.
20 Va fikama ongula inene ndele va ya mombuwa yaTekoa. Ndele fimbo tava fikama Josafat a kala ofika ndele ta ti: “Pwilikinei nge, nye Ovajuda noonakukala muJerusalem! Itaveleni Omwene, Kalunga keni, opo nee tamu ka kala mwa pama. Itaveleni ovaxunganeki vaye, opo nee tamu ka kala nelao.” 21 Ndele ye okwa kundafana novanhu nokwa tula ovaimbi okuhambelela Omwene, va djala omidjalo diyapuki ndele tava piti komesho yovakwaita tava imbi tava ti: “Hambeleleni Omwene, osheshi onghenda yaye tai kalelele fiyo alushe!” 22 Ndele eshi va hovela okunyakukwa nokwiimba eimbilo lehambelelo, Omwene okwa tula ovanhu va ninge ekulwila konima yovana vaAmmoni novaMoab novovanhu vokeemhunda daSeir, ava ve uya okulwifa Ovajuda, ndele va tewa po. 23 Shaashi ovana vaAmmoni novaMoab va hovela okulwifa ovanhu vokeemhunda daSeir, ve va hanaunune po noku va mana po. Ndele eshi va mana po ovanhu vokeemhunda daSeir, ove lipilukila mokulidipaa. 24 NOvajuda eshi ve uya monhele omo va dula okutala ombuwa, ndele eshi va tala ongudu, va mona oimhu ya nangala pedu, ndele kapa li nande umwe a xupa po. 25 Opo nee Josafat novakwaita vaye ve uya okutinha oixuulwa, ndele va mona oinima ihapu, oikutu noinima i nondilo. Ndele va tinha ihapu unene, va nyengwa oku i humbata. Nomafiku atatu va ongela oixuulwa, oyo ya li ihapu. 26 Ndele mefiku etine va ongala mEfilu lehambelelo, osheshi oko va hambelela Omwene, onghee hano va ifana onhele oyo Efilu lEhambelelo fiyo onena eli. 27 Opo nee ovalumenhu aveshe vomuJuda novomuJerusalem naJosafat komesho yavo va shuna nehafo kuJerusalem. Osheshi Omwene e va hafifa molwovatondadi vavo. 28 Ndele ve uya kongulu yOmwene muJerusalem nokushika ouxumbafeta neenyalilo nomanghuma. 29 Ehaluko linene okutila Kalunga la li kombada yoilongo aishe yoiwana, eshi va uda nokutya, Omwene okwa lwifa ovatondadi vaIsrael. 30 Opo nee oshilongo shaJosafat sha mona ombili, naKalunga kaye e mu pa etulumuko keembinga adishe.

31 Ndele Josafat okwa pangela Juda. Omido daye da li omilongo nhatu nanhano eshi a ninga ohamba, nokwa pangela omido omilongo mbali nanhano muJerusalem. Nedina laina la li Asuba yaSilhi. 32 Ndele ye okwa enda nondjila yaxe Asa, ndele ina yapuka mo nande nokwa ninga eshi sha yuka moipafi yOmwene. 33 Noikulundu yokuyambela ye ine i hanauna po. Ovanhu inava ameka natango omitima davo kuKalunga kooxe. 34 Noinima imwe tai hepaulula Josafat, inya yotete naai yaxuuninwa, tala, yo oya shangwa mehepaululo laJehu yaHanani, lo la tulwa membo leehamba daIsrael.
35 Ndelenee konima yoinima ei Josafat, ohamba yaJuda, ya ninga ehangano naAhasia, ohamba yaIsrael, yo ya li ihe na Kalunga mokukala kwayo. 36 Vo ova udafana va pangele eeskepa di ye kuTarsis. Ndele va pangela eeskepa muEsion-Geber. 37 Ndelenee Elieser yaDodava womuMaresa a xunganekela Josafat te mu popi ta ti: “Ove eshi wa ninga ehangano naAhasia, Omwene ota teya po oshilonga shoye.” Neeskepa oda nyonauka, onghee da nyengwa okuya kuTarsis.
Iita nAaedom
1 Konima yaambika omatangakwiita gAamoabi nAayammoni pamwe noshipambu shimwe shAameuni, oga ponokele Juda. 2 Oontumwa dhimwe odhe ya tadhi lombwele omukwaniilwa Jehosafat tadhi ti: “Etangakwiita enene lya za kuEdom olye ya lya ziilile handiyaka yEfuta lya sa, li ku ponokele. Olya kwata po nokuli Hazazon Tamar.” (Edhina ndika olyaEn-gedi.) 3 Jehosafat okwa li a haluka e ta galikana Omuwa, e mu wilike. Nena okwa gandja elaka, aantu yi idhilike iikulya moshilongo ashihe. 4 Aantu ya kongoloka ya zi miilando ayihe yaJuda ye ya kuJerusalem, ya konge ekwatho. 5 Oyo nAajerusalem oya gongala mehale epe lyotempeli. Omukwaniilwa Jehosafat okwa thikama komeho gawo 6 e ta galikana muule ta ti: “Omuwa, Kalunga kootatekulu, ongoye to lele megulu iigwana ayihe yomuuyuni. Ongoye u na oonkondo noonkondopangelo, nokape na ngoka te ku itakeke. 7 Ongoye Kalunga ketu. Aantu yoye Aaisraeli sho ye ya mevi ndika, owa tidha mo aantu mboka ya li mo, e to li gandja koluvalo lwaAbraham, kuume koye, li ninge lyalwo sigo aluhe. 8 Oya kala muka e taa tungu otempeli yoku ku simaneka, noya tseya 9 kutya ngele oshiponga shasha tashi ya adha, shi ya yone po — ongele iita, elega nenge ondjala yekomba — nena otaa ya e taa thikama komeho gotempeli ndjika moka to simanekelwa. Otaa vulu oku ku galikana muudhigu wawo, ongoye noto ya uvu e to ya hupitha.
10 “Ngashingeyi Aayammoni, Aamoabi nAaedom oye tu ponokele. Ootatekulu sho ya zi muEgipiti, ino ya pitikila ya pite momavi ngoka, onkee ootatekulu oye ga kunkula noinaye ga hanagula po. 11 Shika osho taye tu galulile nena — oye ya, ye tu tidhe mevi we li tu pa. 12 Ongoye Kalunga ketu! Ya geela, oshoka tse itatu vulu okukondjitha etangakwiita li thike mpoka tali tu matukile. Katu shi nokuli shoka tu na okuninga, ihe otatu kongo ekwatho kungoye.”
13 Aajuda ayehe, aalumentu naakiintu yawo noyana, oya li ya thikama potempeli. 14 Ombepo yOmuwa oya lambele Omulevi ngoka a li mokati kongundu. Edhina lye oJahasiel yaSakaria; okwa li gwomoludhi lwaAsaf nokwa li gwomoluvalo okuza kuAsaf sigo Mattania, Jeiel naBenaia. 15 Jahasiel okwa ti: “Nkeyama nAajuda ne amuhe nAajerusalem, Omuwa ota ti: ‘Inamu tila, mu tyololoke nenge mu mbandapale okutsakaneka etangakwiita ndika enene. Olugodhi kalu shi lweni, ihe olwOmuwa. 16 Ya matukileni ngula, sho taa ya taa tokola Ziz. Otamu ke ya tsakaneka pehulilo lyolusilu ndoka lu uka lwokombuga popepi naJeruel. 17 Itamu pumbwa okukondja. Thikameni owala mwa tegelela: Otamu ka tala, nkene Omuwa te mu pe esindano.’ Aajuda nAajerusalem, inamu tenguka nenge mu haluke. Indeni kolugodhi, nOmuwa ota ka kala pamwe nane!”
18 Omukwaniilwa Jehosafat okwi isizimike e ta tsu oshipala she mevi, naantu ayehe oyi inyongamene pevi e taa simaneke Omuwa. 19 Aalevi yomoludhi lwaKohat nolwaKora oya thikama noya hambelele Omuwa, Kalunga kaIsrael, newi lyopombanda.
20 Ongula onene aantu oya meneka ya yi kombuga popepi naTekoa. Sho ya tameke okuya, Jehosafat okwe ya lombwele ta ti: “Aajuda ne nAajerusalem! Inekeleni Omuwa, Kalunga keni, thikameni mwa kola. Itaaleni shoka aahunganeki ye taye mu lombwele, one notamu ka sindana.” 21 Sho ya pulathana omayele, omukwaniilwa okwa lombwele aaimbi, ya zale oonguwo dhoshituthi yo ya kwatele komeho etangakwiita taa imbi taa ti: “Hambeleleni Omuwa, oshoka esilohenda lye ohali kala aluheluhe.”
22 Sho ya tameke okwiimba, Omuwa okwa vundakanitha aahomoni nayi. 23 Aayammoni nAamoabi oya matukile Aaedom e taye ya kombo po thilu. Nena oya pilukilathana molugodhi olululu. 24 Etangakwiita lyAajuda sho lya thiki koshungo ndjoka yi li mombuga, oya tala lwokaatondi noya mono omidhimba dha langathana pevi. Inapu za nando ondhi.
25 Jehosafat naakwiita ye oya yi, ya ka yuge iihakanwa, e taa mono oongombe odhindji, omaliko, oonguwo niinima yilwe yi na ondilo. Oshe ya pula omasiku gatatu taa gongele iihakanwa, ihe iinima oya li oyindjiyindji, noinaa vula we okukutha shaa shoka. 26 Mesiku etine oya gongala molusilu lwaBeraka e taa hambelele Omuwa molwaayihe mbyoka a longo. Omolwashoka olusilu ndoka lwa lukwa “Beraka”. 27 Jehosafat nomatanga ge oya shuna kuJerusalem mekandanga, oshoka Omuwa okwa dhenge aatondi yawo. 28 Sho ya adha oshilando, oya yi kotempeli taa hiki uuharpa, iiketala nomankuma. 29 Oshigwana kehe shoka sha kundana kutya Omuwa a dhenga aatondi yAaisraeli, osha sholola. 30 Molwashika Jehosafat okwa lele nombili, Kalunga okwe mu vululukitha koombinga adhihe dhe mu kunduka.
Ehulilo lyepangelo lyaJehosafat
(1 Aak. 22:41-50)31 Jehosafat okwa ningi omukwaniilwa gwaJuda mepipi lyomimvo omilongo ndatu nantano.
