2 Hou Olelesu 13
1 Yelouboua: me da Isala: ili fi hina bagade hamone, ode 18 agoane ouligilalu, Abaidia da Yuda hina bagade hamoi.
Now 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. His mother's name also 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 set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being 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 upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou 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 YHWH Elohim of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even 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.
Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his master.
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 there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand 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 withstand the kingdom of YHWH in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for elohim.
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 YHWH, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no elohim.
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, YHWH is our Elohim, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto YHWH, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business:
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 unto YHWH every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of YHWH our Elohim; 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, Elohim himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against YHWH Elohim 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 ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was 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 when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto YHWH, 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.
Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that Elohim 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 Elohim 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: so 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.
Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon YHWH Elohim 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 the towns thereof, and Jeshnah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof.
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.
Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and YHWH struck 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 waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and 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 story of the prophet Iddo.
