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.
three years, reigned he in Jerusalem, and, the name of his mother, was Maacah, 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 a force of heroes of war, four hundred thousand chosen men, —and, Jeroboam, set in array against him to battle, with eight hundred thousand chosen men, heroes 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 the hill country of Ephraim, —and said, Hear me, O 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.
Is it not yours to know, that, Yahweh God of Israel gave the kingdom to David, over Israel, unto times age-abiding, —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 hath Jeroboam son of Nebat, servant of Solomon son of David, risen 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 there are gathered unto him vain men, sons of the Abandoned One, who emboldened themselves against Rehoboam son of Solomon, -when, Rehoboam, was young and tender of heart, and had not strengthened himself to meet 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.
Now, therefore, ye, are thinking to strengthen yourselves against the kingdom of Yahweh, in the hand of the sons of David, —and, ye, are a great multitude, and, with you, are calves of gold, which Jeroboam hath 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 driven out the priests of Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, —and made for yourselves priests like the peoples of the countries? Whosoever cometh to install himself with a young bullock, and seven rams, then becometh he a priest unto the, no-gods.
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, Yahweh, is our God, and we have not forsaken him, —and, the priests who are waiting upon Yahweh, are sons of Aaron, with Levites in the 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 are making a perfume unto Yahweh, with ascending-sacrifices morning by morning, and evening by evening and an incense of sweet spices, and are putting in order bread upon the pure table, and the lampstand of gold with the lamps thereof, for lighting up evening by evening, for, observant, are we of the charge of Yahweh our God, —whereas, 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 lo! with us as Head, is God himself, and his priests, and the trumpets of alarm, to sound an alarm against you, —O sons of Israel! do not fight against Yahweh 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, sent round an ambush, to come up from behind them, —so they were before Judah and, the ambush, did come up from 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 turned and lo! as for them, the battle was before and behind, then made they outcry unto Yahweh, —and, the priests, kept on blowing 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 it came to pass, when the men of Judah shouted, then, God himself, 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 sons of Israel fled from 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 smote among them with a great smiting, —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.
Thus were the sons of Israel subdued at that time, —and the sons of Judah prevailed, because they leaned upon Yahweh 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 captured from him, cities, even Bethel, with the villages thereof, and Jeshanah, with the villages thereof, —and Ephron, with the villages 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 was Jeroboam strong any more, in the days of Abijah, —and Yahweh smote him that 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.
And Abijah strengthened himself, and took him, fourteen wives, —and begat 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 story of Abijah, both his ways and his words, —are written, in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
