2 Hou Olelesu 13
1 Yelouboua: me da Isala: ili fi hina bagade hamone, ode 18 agoane ouligilalu, Abaidia da Yuda hina bagade hamoi.
In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
2 E da ode udiana Yelusalemega esala, Yuda fi ouligisu. Ea ame da Ma: iaga (Iuliele idiwi). E da Gibia moilai bai bagadega misi. Abaidia amola Yelouboua: me da ha lale gegei.
He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Michaiah, the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
3 Abaidia ea dadi gagui dunu idi da 400,000 agoane. Ema gegemusa: , Yelouboua: me da dadi gagui dunu 800,000 agoane gilisi.
And Abijah began the war with an army of men of war, four hundred thousand chosen men; and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, mighty men of valour.
4 Amo dadi gagui wa: i aduna da Ifala: ime agolo sogega wa: i fi. Hina bagade Abaidia da Semala: imi goumia heda: le, Yeloubouma: ne amola Isala: ili dunuma amane wele sia: i, “Na sia: be nabima!
And Abijah stood up on the top of mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, Jeroboam, and all Israel!
5 Dilia amo hou hame dawa: bela: ? Isala: ili Hina Gode da eso huluane dialoma: ne gousa: su, Da: ibidi amola egaga fi ilima hamoi. E amane ilegele sia: i, ‘Da: ibidi amola egaga fi da mae fisili, eso huluane Isala: ili fi ouligilalumu.
Ought ye not to know that Jehovah the God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, to him and to his sons [by] a covenant of salt?
6 Be Yelouboua: me (Niba: de egefe) da ea hina bagade Soloumanema odoga: i.
But Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up and rebelled against his lord.
7 Fa: no, e da hamedei wadela: i hamosu dunu gilisili, ilia da Soloumane egefe Lihouboua: me ema odoga: i. Lihouboua: me da ayeligi amola buluduiba: le, ilima dabe gegemu hamedei ba: i.
And vain men, sons of Belial, gathered to him and strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, and Rehoboam was young and faint-hearted, and did not shew himself strong against them.
8 Be wali di da nama gegemusa: dawa: beba: le, di da ouligisu hou amo Hina Gode da Da: ibidi amola egaga fi ilima ilegei, ilima gegemusa: dawa: lala. Di da dadi gagui wa: i bagadedafa oule misi, amola gouliga hamoi bulamagau gawali agoai Yelouboua: me ea loboga hamoi ‘gode’ amola gaguli misi.
And now ye think to shew yourselves strong against the kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the sons of David; and ye are a great multitude, and ye have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made you for gods.
9 Di da Hina Godema gobele salasu dunu Elane egaga fi amola Lifai fi dunu huluane sefasi. Di da eno fifi lai dunu defele, dia hanaiga ogogosu gobele salasu dunu ilegei. Nowa dunu da bulamagau gawali o sibi fesuale agoane gaguli masea, di da e ‘gobele salasu’ dunu ilegesa. Amasea, e da dia ogogosu loboga hamoi ‘gode’ ilima gobele salasu hou hamosa.
Have ye not cast out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made you priests as the peoples of the lands? whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, he becomes a priest of what is not God.
10 Be ninia da Hina Godedafa Ea hawa: hamonana. Ninia da E hame fisiagai. Elane egaga fi dunu da gobele salasu hawa: hamonana, amola Lifai fi dunu da ili fidisa.
But as for us, Jehovah is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests that serve Jehovah are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites are at their work:
11 Hahabe amola daeya huluane, ilia da Hina Godema gabusiga: manoma gobele sala, amola oloda da: iya ohe gogo gobele sala. Ilia da agi ga: gi Godema ima: ne, amo noga: le dodofei fafai da: iya ligisisa amola daeya huluane gamali amo da gouliga hamoi bai da: iya lela, amo wa: sa. Ninia da Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele hamonana. Be dilia da Hina Gode fisiagai dagoi.
and they burn to Jehovah every morning and every evening burnt-offerings and sweet incense; the loaves also are set in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with its lamps to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of Jehovah our God; but ye have forsaken him.
12 Gode Hisu da ninia bisilua, amola Ea gobele salasu dunu da dalabede gaguiwane, ninia dima gegema: ne fulabomusa: momagele lela. Isala: ili fi dunu! Dilia aowalalia Hina Godema mae gegema! Dilia nini hasalimu da hamedei ba: mu.”
And behold, we have God with us at our head, and his priests, and the loud-sounding trumpets to sound an alarm against you. Children of Israel, do not fight with Jehovah the God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.
13 Amogaluwane, Yelouboua: me da ea dadi gagui dunu mogili, ili Yuda dadi gagui wa: i baligia logo legema: ne asunasi. E da eno dadi gagui amo Yuda wa: i midadi doagala: ma: ne asunasi.
But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them; and they were before Judah, and the ambush behind them.
14 Yuda dadi gagui dunu da ba: le gagaloba, ili eale disi ba: i. Ilia da Hina Godema ili fidima: ne disa wele sia: i, amola gobele salasu dunu da dalabede fulaboi.
And Judah looked back, and behold, they had the battle in front and behind; and they cried to Jehovah, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
15 Yuda dadi gagui dunu da ha: giwane wele sia: ne, Isala: ili dadi gagui wa: i doagala: i. Abaidia hi bisili doagala: i. Gode da Yelouboua: me amola Isala: ili dadi gagui wa: i hasali.
And the men of Judah gave a shout; and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16 Isala: ili dunu da Yuda dadi gagui dunuba: le hobeale asi. Gode da ili fidiba: le, Yuda dadi gagui ilia Isala: ili hasali.
And the children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand.
17 Abaidia amola ea dadi gagui wa: i da Isala: ili dadi gagui wa: i dafawanedafa hasali. Ilia da Isala: ili bisilua dadi gagui dunu 500,000 agoane medole legei.
And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter; and there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
18 Yuda dunu da ilia aowalalia Hina Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, amo Ea fidima: ne adole ba: beba: le, ilima ha lai dunu amo hasali dagoi ba: i.
And the children of Israel were humbled at that time, and the children of Judah were strengthened, because they relied upon Jehovah the God of their fathers.
19 Abaidia da Yelouboua: me ea dadi gagui wa: i se bobogele, Isala: ili moilai bai bagade mogili susugui. Amo da Bedele, Yesiana, Ifalone amola moilai fonobahadi amo sisiga: le dialu.
And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him: Bethel with its dependent villages, and Jeshanah with its dependent villages, and Ephron with its dependent villages.
20 Yeleboua: me ea gasa da fisi ba: i. Abaidia da Yuda soge ouligiloba, Yelouboua: me da ea gasa hou bu hame lai. Fa: nowane, Hina Gode da e fane legei dagoi.
And Jeroboam did not recover strength again in the days of Abijah; and Jehovah smote him, and he died.
21 Be Abaidia ea gasa da bu bagade heda: i. E da uda ba: lisi agoane lai amola egefelali idi da 22 agoane amola idiwilali idi da silisi agoane.
But Abijah strengthened himself, and took fourteen wives, and begot twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
22 Abaidia ea eno hamonanusu amola ea sia: amo da “Balofede Dunu Idou ea Hamonanu” meloa dedei amo ganodini dedene legei.
And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways and his sayings, are written in the treatise of the prophet Iddo.
