20 Kupwa bene Moabu+ ne bene Amone,+ pamo ne bene Amonime* bamo, baiya kulwa divita na Yehoshafata.
2 Ebiya basapwila Yehoshafata’mba: “Kibumbo kikatampe kibaiya kulwa nobe kitamba ku ntanda ya dijiba,* ku Edoma,+ badi mu Hazazona-Tamala, ko kunena’mba Ene-Ngedi.”+
3 Pa kino Yehoshafata wakwatwa moyo, wasumininwa* kukimba Yehova.+ Ebiya waela lubila’mba bantu bonso ba Yuda bashikilwe na nzala.
4 Penepo bantu ba Yuda bebungila pamo mwanda wa kwipangula Yehova,+ batambile ku bibundi byonso bya Yuda mwanda wa kwipangula Yehova.
5 Ebiya Yehoshafata waimana mu kipwilo kya Yuda ne Yelusalema mu njibo ya Yehova ku meso a kipango kipya,
6 kanena’mba:
“A Yehova Leza wa bakulutuba betu, mwene abe wi Leza wa mūlu;+ mwene ubikele pa malopwe onso a mizo?+ Mu kuboko kobe mudi lupusa ne bukomo, kadi i kutupu nansha umo ubwanya kukukomena.+
7 A Leza wetu, mwene wapangile bekadi ba ino ntanda ku meso a bantu bobe bene Isalela kupwa wapa’yo lutundu* lwa Abalahama mulunda nobe+ bu kintu kya myaka na myaka?
8 Baikele’mo, bakūbakila’mo ne kipandulwe mwanda wa dijina dyobe,+ kebanena’mba,
9 ‘Shi kimpengele kibetuponena, ekale na kipete, na butyibi bubi, na kipupo kya misongo, nansha na kipupo kya nzala, nabya twimane ku meso a ino njibo ne ku meso obe (mwanda dijina dyobe didi mu ino njibo)+ kadi tukwabije witukwashe mu tusua twetu, nobe witwivwane ne kwitupandija.’+
10 Pano tala bantu ba Amone, ne Moabu, ne ntanda ya ngulu ya Seila,+ bokwalekelepo bene Isalela batwele’mo pobadi batamba mu ntanda ya Edipito. Bebakongolokele kadi kebebatukijepo fututu.+
11 Pano kebetulubwila na kwiya kwitupanga mu kintu kyobe kyowetupele bu bupyani.+
12 A Leza wetu, ubulwepo kufikidija butyibi pobadi?+ Mwanda ketudipo na bukomo ku meso a kino kibumbo kikatampe kīya kwitulwa, kadi ketuyukilepo kya kulonga,+ ino meso etu adi kodi.”+
13 Kine kitatyi’kya, bantu bonso ba Yuda badi bemene ku meso a Yehova, pamo ne babo bana batyetye, ne babo bakaji, ne babo bana.*
14 Penepo mu bukata mwa kipwilo, mushipiditu wa Yehova waiya padi Yahaziele mwanā Zekadia mwanā Benaya mwanā Yeiele mwanā Matania mwine Levi wa mu bana ba Asafa.
15 Wanena’mba: “Banwe bantu bonso ba Yuda ne bekadi ba Yelusalema ne Mulopwe Yehoshafata tejai! Yehova wemunena namino amba, ‘Kemwakikwatwai moyo nansha kutuyuka pa mwanda wa kino kibumbo kikatampe, ke-pantu bulwi ke bwenupo ino i bwa Leza.+
16 Kesha tūkai mukebatambe. Basa kukanda mu kashinda ka Zize, kadi musa kwibatana ku mfulo kwa musanza* kampalampala na mu ntanda mutuputupu ya Yeluele.
17 Kemusapo kulwa buno bulwi. Imanai, imanai kujina mpika,+ mumone lupandilo lwa Yehova pomudi.*+ A Yuda ne Yelusalema, kemwakikwatwai moyo nansha kutuyuka.+ Kesha endai mukebatambe, Yehova ukekala nenu.’”+
18 Ponkapo Yehoshafata wafukata, mpala yandi pa nshi, kadi bantu bonso ba Yuda ne bekadi ba Yelusalema bapona panshi ku meso a Yehova kebatōta Yehova.
19 Penepo bene Levi lutundu lwa bene Kohata+ ne bene Kola baimana kebatendela Yehova Leza wa Isalela na diwi dikatampe bininge.+
20 Dya kesha babūka lubanga bwē baenda mu ntanda mutuputupu ya Tekoa.+ Abo benda, Yehoshafata waimana kanena’mba: “A Yuda ne bekadi ba Yelusalema ngivwanei! Ikalai na lwitabijo mudi Yehova Leza wenu amba mubwanye kwimanija pototo.* Ikalai na lwitabijo mudi bapolofeto bandi,+ musa kunekenya.”
21 Aye pa kupwa kukala ñeni na bantu, watonga bana-balume ba kwimbila+ Yehova ne kutendela bavwele bivwalwa bya dyangi bijila pobadi benda kumeso kwa bana-balume bavwele byabulwi, amba: “Fwijai’ko Yehova, mwanda buswe bwandi bwa ndamatyidile bulādilanga nyeke.”+
22 Pobashilwile kwimba mitendelo na nsangaji, Yehova wajikila bana-balume ba Amone, ba Moabu, ne ba ntanda ya ngulu ya Seila batwelele mu Yuda, kebeipaya abo bene na bene.+
23 Ebiya bene Amone ne bene Moabu baalamuka kebalu na bekadi ba ntanda ya ngulu ya Seila+ mwanda wa kwibonakanya ne kwibatukija fututu; abo pa kupwa kutukija bekadi ba Seila, kebeonakanya abo bene na bene.+
24 Ino Yuda pa kwiya ku kiteba kya mulami kya mu ntanda mutuputupu,+ watala kibumbo, bamona’ko imbidi yabo mifwe ilēle pa nshi;+ kekwadipo nansha umo wapandile.
25 Ebiya Yehoshafata ne bantu bandi baiya kwibasela bitūtwa, batana mu bukata mwabo bintu bivule, ne bisandi, ne bintu bilumbuluke, byobebavūdile kufika ne byobakomenwe kwibisela.+ Baselele bitūtwa mu mafuku asatu, mwanda byadi bingi.
26 Bebungila pamo mu Musanza* wa Belaka mu difuku dya buná, mwanda batendele’mo* Yehova. O mwanda baityile kifuko’kya bu Musanza wa Belaka*+—kufika ne dyalelo.
27 Penepo Bana-balume bonso ba Yuda ne Yelusalema, batangidilwe na Yehoshafata, bajokela ku Yelusalema na nsangaji, mwanda Yehova webasangeje pa balwana nabo.+
28 Penepa batwela mu Yelusalema na byombanwa bya myonji, na nsense,+ ne na bimpungidi,+ baenda ku njibo ya Yehova.+
29 Kityino kya Leza kyaponena malopwe onso a matanda pobaivwene amba Yehova walwile na balwana na Isalela.+
30 Ebiya bulopwe bwa Yehoshafata kebwakambakanibwepo, kadi Leza wandi wamupēle nyeke kukōkolokwa ku mitamba yonso.+
31 Penepo Yehoshafata waendelela kubikala pa Yuda. Wadi na myaka 35 paabikele, wabikele myaka 25 mu Yelusalema. Dijina dya inandi i Azuba mwanā Shidi.+
32 Wadi unangila’nka mu dishinda dya shandi Asa.+ Kasāsukile’mopo, walongele byoloke ku meso a Yehova.+
33 Inoko mitenta keyafundwilwepo,+ kadi bantu badi kebateakenye mityima yabo pa mwanda wa Leza wa bakulutuba babo.+
34 Myanda mikwabo ya mānga ya Yehoshafata, tamba ku ngalwilo kutūla ne ku mfulo, i milembwe mu binenwa bya Yehu+ mwanā Hanani,+ byatwejibwe mu Mukanda wa Balopwe ba Isalela.
35 Kupwa Yehoshafata mulopwe wa Yuda wasamba kipwano na Ahazia mulopwe wa Isalela, muntu wadi ulonga bibi.+
36 Ebiya wapwana nandi kebapunga byombo bya kwenda ku Talashishi,+ kadi balonga byombo mu Eziona-Kebele.+
37 Inoko, Ediezela mwanā Dodawahu wa ku Malēsha wanenena Yehoshafata bupolofeto bubi, amba: “Byowasamba kipwano na Ahazia, Yehova usa konakanya mingilo yobe.”+ Ebiya byombo byaoneka,+ byakomenwa kwenda ku Talashishi.
