Natoky An’i Jehovah Josafata

HAINAO va hoe ia lahilahy reo io? Ino raha ataon-droze io? Handeha hialy roze, ka lahilahy alohan-droze reo mihira. Fe mety hanontany iha hoe: ‘Manino mpihira reo tsy manday lefo noho sabatsy hialìa io?’ Ndao ho henteantsika.

Josafata ro mpanjaka’ty foko roe tamin’Israely teo. Velo niarake tamin’i Ahaba noho Jezebela, mpanjaka’ty foko folo tavaratse tany, Josafata. Fe mpanjaka soa Josafata. Mpanjaka soa fanahy biby ty babane, Asa ty anarane. Ka tanaty tao maromaro, le faly ty vahoake nipetrake tamy fanjakà’ty foko roe tantìmo atoy, satria niada sady nana fiaìna soa roze.

Fe hisy raha hiseho, hampatahotse ty olo. Nisy hafatse niavy tamin’i Josafata tao: ‘Ho avy hanafike anareo ty mpanjaka’ty tany Moaba noho Amona voho ty Vohitse Seira.’ Maro ty Israelita nivory ta-Jerosalema tao, mba hila ty fanampian’i Jehovah. Nandeha tamy tempoly tao roze, ka nivavake Josafata hoe: ‘Jehovah Andranaharenay! Tsy hainay lahy ty raha hataonay. Tsy misy afake manavotse anay amy fanafìha tafike mahery reo, ka mba mangatake fanampia baka aminao lahy zahay.’

Nojanjìnin’i Jehovah vavake zay, ka nanirake ty raike tamy mpanompone ie mba hivòla ty vahoake hoe: ‘Tsy ahinareo aly io, fa an’Andranahare. Tsy hialy nareo. Manentea avao, le ho hitanareo ty fomba hamonjean’i Jehovah anareo.’

Ka laha fa niavy ty hamaray maraindray, le hoy ty asan’i Josafata tamy vahoakine: ‘Matokìsa an’i Jehovah nareo!’ Bakeo nasian’i Josafata mpihira nitari-dala taloha miaramilane reo teo. Ka nandeha roze sady nihira hira manome voninahitse an’Andranahare. Hainao va hoe ino ty raha niseho laha fa narinike toera hialìa iny roze? Nataon’i Jehovah ze hifamonòa miaramila fahavalo reny. Laha fa niavy ty Israelita, le nihitan-droze niampatsampatsy teo iaby, ty faty fahavalon-droze reny!

Tsy hitanao hoe hendry va Josafata laha fa natoky an’i Jehovah? Ho hendry kea tsika laha matoky Aze.
