MSG ^(1-3)“In those days, yes, at that very time
  when I put life back together again for Judah and Jerusalem,
I’ll assemble all the godless nations.
  I’ll lead them down into Judgment Valley
And put them all on trial, and judge them one and all
  because of their treatment of my own people Israel.

  and used them for barter.
They would trade a boy for a whore,
  sell a girl for a bottle of wine when they wanted a drink.

The word Jehoshaphat is the name of a valley. In your translation, you could spell it the way it sounds in your language, as the ULT does, or you could use a word or phrase from your language that expresses the meaning of this name, which is “Yahweh judges.” Alternate translation: “the Valley of Yahweh-Judges”

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word inheritance tells what kind of people the Israelites are to Yahweh. In this context, the word inheritance refers to a portion that someone would choose for himself. Alternate translation: “my chosen people, Israel”

Yahweh is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and because they divided up my land”
