2 أخبار 13
| وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّامِنَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ حُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ يَرُبْعَامَ اعْتَلَى أَبِيَّا عَرْشَ يَهُوذَا، | ١ 1 |
In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah.
| وَدَامَ مُلْكُهُ ثَلاثَ سَنَوَاتٍ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ مِيخَايَا ابْنَةُ أُورِيئِيلَ مِنْ جَبْعَةَ، وَنَشَبَتْ حَرْبٌ بَيْنَ أَبِيَّا وَيَرُبْعَامَ. | ٢ 2 |
He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
| وَخَاضَ أَبِيَّا الْحَرْبَ بِجَيْشٍ مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الأَشِدَّاءِ، بَلَغَ عَدَدُهُمْ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ أَلْفٍ مِنْ خِيرَةِ الْمُقَاتِلِينَ. وَاصْطَفَّ يَرُبْعَامُ لِمُحَارَبَتِهِ بِجَيْشٍ بَلَغَ عَدَدُهُ ثَمَانِي مِئَةِ أَلْفٍ مِنْ نُخْبَةِ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الأَشِدَّاءِ. | ٣ 3 |
Abijah joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men; and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, who were mighty men of valor.
| وَوَقَفَ أَبِيَّا عَلَى جَبَلِ صَمَارَايِمَ فِي مُرْتَفَعَاتِ أَرْضِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَهَتَفَ: «أَصْغِ إِلَيَّ يَا يَرُبْعَامُ وَيَا كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ: | ٤ 4 |
Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, “Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel:
| أَلَمْ تُدْرِكُوا بَعْدُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ عَهِدَ بِالْمُلْكِ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى دَاوُدَ وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ بِعَهْدِ مِلْحٍ، | ٥ 5 |
Ought you not to know that the LORD, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
| فَقَامَ يَرُبْعَامُ بْنُ نَبَاطَ عَبْدُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ، وَتَمَرَّدَ عَلَى سَيِّدِهِ. | ٦ 6 |
Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.
| فَالْتَفَّ حَوْلَهُ رِجَالٌ بَطَّالُونَ أَشْرَارٌ، وَثَارُوا عَلَى رَحُبْعَامَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، فَلَمْ يَثْبُتْ رَحُبْعَامُ أَمَامَهُمْ لِحَدَاثَتِهِ وَقِلَّةِ خِبْرَتِهِ. | ٧ 7 |
Worthless men were gathered to him, wicked fellows who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender hearted, and could not withstand them.
| وَالآنَ أَنْتُمْ تَدَّعُونَ أَنَّكُمْ قَادِرُونَ عَلَى الثَّبَاتِ أَمَامَ قُوَّاتِ مَمْلَكَةِ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي أَرْسَاهَا بِيَدِ دَاوُدَ، حَاشِدِينَ جَيْشاً كَبِيراً، وَحَامِلِينَ مَعَكُمْ عُجُولَ ذَهَبٍ صَنَعَهَا لَكُمْ يَرُبْعَامُ لِتَكُونَ لَكُمْ آلِهَةً. | ٨ 8 |
“Now you intend to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David. You are a great multitude, and the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods are with you.
| أَلَمْ تَطْرُدُوا كَهَنَةَ الرَّبِّ أَبْنَاءَ هرُونَ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ، وَأَقَمْتُمْ لأَنْفُسِكُمْ كَهَنَةً كَالأُمَمِ الأُخْرَى، فَيُصْبِحَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَأْتِي لِيُكَرِّسَ عِجْلاً وَسَبْعَةَ كِبَاشٍ كَاهِناً لِمَنْ لَيْسُوا آلِهَةً؟ | ٩ 9 |
Haven’t you driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves according to the ways of the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may be a priest of those who are no gods.
| وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَالرَّبُّ هُوَ إِلَهُنَا لَمْ نَتَخَلَّ عَنْهُ، وَخُدَّامُ الرَّبِّ الْكَهَنَةُ الْقَائِمُونَ بِخِدْمَةِ الْعِبَادَةِ هُمْ ذُرِّيَّةُ هرُونَ، وَمَعَهُمُ اللّاوِيُّونَ، | ١٠ 10 |
“But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him. We have priests serving the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work.
| يُوْقِدُونَ لِلرَّبِّ مُحْرَقَاتٍ كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ وَمَسَاءٍ، وَيُحْرِقُونَ بَخُورَ أَطْيَابٍ، وَيُعِدُّونَ خُبْزَ التَّقْدِمَةِ عَلَى الْمَائِدَةِ الطَّاهِرَةِ، وَيُضِيئُونَ مَنَارَةَ الذَّهَبِ وَسُرُوجَهَا كُلَّ مَسَاءٍ، وَهَكَذَا نَقُومُ بِالْمُحَافَظَةِ عَلَى فَرَائِضِ الرَّبِّ. وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَقَدْ تَخَلَّيْتُمْ عَنْهُ. | ١١ 11 |
They burn to the LORD every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. They also set the show bread in order on the pure table, and care for the gold lamp stand with its lamps, to burn every evening; for we keep the instruction of the LORD our God, but you have forsaken him.
| هَا الرَّبُّ مَعَنَا فِي طَلِيعَتِنَا، وَسَيَهْتِفُ كَهَنَتُهُ بِأَبْوَاقِهِمْ هُتَافَ الْحَرْبِ ضِدَّكُمْ. فَيَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا تُحَارِبُوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِكُمْ لأَنَّكُمْ لَا تُفْلِحُونَ». | ١٢ 12 |
Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the shofars of alarm to sound an alarm against you. Children of Israel, don’t fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers; for you will not prosper.”
| وَكَانَ يَرُبْعَامُ قَدْ أَعَدَّ كَمِيناً لِيَدُورَ وَيُهَاجِمَهُمْ مِنَ الْخَلْفِ، فَأَصْبَحَ جَيْشُ يَهُوذَا وَاقِعاً بَيْنَ الْقُوَّاتِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيَّةِ وَالْكَمِينِ. | ١٣ 13 |
But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them; so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them.
| وَتَبَيَّنَ جَيْشُ يَهُوذَا أَنَّهُمْ مُحَاطُونَ بِالْحَرْبِ مِنْ أَمَامٍ وَمِنْ خَلْفٍ، فَاسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ وَنَفَخَ الْكَهَنَةُ بِالأَبْوَاقِ. | ١٤ 14 |
When Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to the LORD, and the priests sounded with the shofars.
| وَهَتَفَ مُقَاتِلُو يَهُوذَا بِصَيْحَاتِ الْحَرْبِ، عِنْدَئِذٍ هَزَمَ الرَّبُّ يَرُبْعَامَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ أَمَامَ أَبِيَّا وَجَيْشِ يَهُوذَا. | ١٥ 15 |
Then the men of Judah gave a shout. As the men of Judah shouted, God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
| وَانْكَسَرَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ وَأَسْلَمَهُمُ الرَّبُّ لِقُوَّاتِ يَهُوذَا. | ١٦ 16 |
The children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.
| وَتَمَكَّنَ أَبِيَّا وَجَيْشُهُ مِنَ الْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْهِمْ قَضَاءً مُبْرَماً، فَسَقَطَ مِنَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ خَمْسُ مِئَةِ أَلْفٍ مِنْ خِيرَةِ الْمُحَارِبِينَ. | ١٧ 17 |
Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter, so five hundred thousand chosen men of Israel fell down slain.
| فَذَلَّ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ، وَانْتَصَرَ رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا لأَنَّهُمُ اتَّكَلُوا عَلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِهِمْ. | ١٨ 18 |
Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers.
| وَتَعَقَّبَ أَبِيَّا يَرُبْعَامَ وَاسْتَوْلَى مِنْهُ عَلَى مُدُنِ بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَضِيَاعِهَا وَيَشَانَةَ وَضِيَاعِهَا وَعَفْرُونَ وَضِيَاعِهَا. | ١٩ 19 |
Abijah pursued Jeroboam, and took cities from him: Bethel with its villages, Jeshanah with its villages, and Ephron with its villages.
| وَلَمْ يَسْتَعِدْ يَرُبْعَامُ قُوَّتَهُ مُدَّةَ حُكْمِ أَبِيَّا، وَأَخِيراً ضَرَبَهُ الرَّبُّ وَمَاتَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Jeroboam didn’t recover strength again in the days of Abijah. The LORD struck him, and he died.
| وَازْدَادَ أَبِيَّا قُوَّةً. وَتَزَوَّجَ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ امْرَأَةً انْجَبْنَ لَهُ اثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ ابْناً وَسِتَّ عَشْرَةَ بِنْتاً. | ٢١ 21 |
But Abijah grew mighty and took for himself fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
| أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ أَبِيَّا وَطُرُقُهُ وَمُنْجَزَاتُهُ أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي تَارِيخِ النَّبِيِّ عِدُّو؟ | ٢٢ 22 |
The rest of the acts of Abijah, his ways, and his sayings are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
