2 Dungkrhoekhaih 13
1 Jeroboam singpahrang ah ohhaih saning hatlaitazetto naah, Abijah Judah siangpahrang ah oh amtong.
In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, began Abijah to reign over Judah:
2 Anih mah Jerusalem to saning thumto thung uk. Anih ih amno loe Gibeah kami, Uriel ih canu, Mikhaiah. To naah Abijah hoi Jeroboem loe misa ah oh hoi.
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 Abijah loe a qoih ih misatuh kami sang cumvai palito hoiah misa tuk, Jeroboam doeh a qoih ih misatuh thaih kami sang cumvai tazetto hoiah misa tuk toeng.
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 Abijah loe Ephraim mae ah kaom, Zemaraim mae nuiah angdoet moe, Jeroboam hoi Israel kaminawk boih, ka lok hae tahngai oh!
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 Israel Angraeng Sithaw mah paloi hoi lokkamhaih sak baktih toengah, Israel prae to David hoi a caanawk hanah dungzan khoek to paek boeh, tiah na panoek o ai maw?
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 Toe David capa Solomon ih tamna, Nebat capa Jeroboam loe angthawk moe, angmah ih angraeng to tuk.
Yet hath Jeroboam son of Nebat, servant of Solomon son of David, risen up, —and rebelled against his lord.
7 Solomon capa Rehoboam loe poekhaih nawkta moe, misatuh thai ai naah, tidoeh avang ai kami hnukbang kaminawk mah amkhueng o moe, Rehoboam to tuk o.
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 Vaihi David ih caanawk ban ah kaom, Angraeng ih prae to tuk hanah nam sak o; misatuh kami paroeai na tawnh o, Jeroboam mah sithawnawk hanah, sui hoiah ang sak pae o ih, maitawnawk doeh na tawnh o.
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 Angraeng ih qaimanawk, Aaron ih capanawk hoi Levinawk to na haek o moe, prae kalah kaminawk mah sak o ih hmuen baktih toengah, nangmacae hanah qaima na suek o na ai maw? Saning kanawk maitaw tae maeto, tuucaa sarihto hoiah angbawnhaih sak han angzo kami to, sithaw ah kaom ai hmuennawk khaeah qaima tok to na sak o sak.
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 Angraeng loe kaicae hanah Sithaw ah oh pongah, kaicae loe Anih to ka pahnawt o ai; Aaron ih capanawk loe Angraeng toksah qaima ah oh o, Levinawk doeh angmacae ih tok to sak o.
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 Aduem akhawn angbawnhaih sak o moe, Angraeng hmaa ah hmuihoih tui to a thlaek o; kaciim caboi nuiah takaw a suek o moe, aduem kruek hmai pa-aanghaih sui tung pongah hmai-im to paaang o; kaicae ih Angraeng Sithaw mah hnik ih hmuennawk to ka sak o boih; toe nangcae loe Angraeng to na pahnawt o ving boeh.
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 Khenah, kaicae khaeah Sithaw oh moe, anih loe kaicae zaehoikung ah oh; anih ih qaimanawk loe nangcae tuk hanah mongkah to ueng o tih; Aw Israel caanawk, nam panawk ih Angraeng Sithaw to tuh o hmah; na pazawk o mak ai, tiah a naa.
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 Toe Jeroboam mah Judah kaminawk to ahnukbang hoiah takui hanah angmah ih misatuh kaminawk to patoeh boeh; anih loe Judahnawk hmaa ah oh nathuem ah, nihcae to a hnuk bang hoiah ven o khoep boeh.
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 Judahnawk hnukbang angqoi o naah, khenah, misanawk mah ahnuk ahmaa takui khoep boeh, tiah panoek o; to naah Angraeng khaeah hang o, qaimanawk mah mongkah to uengh o.
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 Judah kaminawk hangh o; tha hoi a hangh o naah, Sithaw mah Jeroboam hoi Israelnawk to Abijah hoi Judahnawk hmaa hoiah cawnsak boih.
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 Israelnawk loe Judahnawk hmaa ah cawnh o; Sithaw mah nihcae to Judahnawk ban ah paek.
And the sons of Israel fled from before Judah, —and God delivered them into their hand.
17 Abijah hoi anih ih kaminawk mah nihcae to hum o moe, paroeai duek o; qoih ih Israelcaanawk sang cumvai pangato duek o.
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 Misa angtuk naah Israel kaminawk to sung o; Judahnawk loe angmacae ampanawk ih, Angraeng Sithaw nuiah amha o pongah misa pazawk o.
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 Abijah mah Jeroboam to patom moe, Bethel, Jeshanah hoi Ephraim vangpuinawk to lak pae.
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 Jeroboam loe Abijah dung thungah thacak thai ai boeh; Angraeng mah anih to hum moe, duek.
neither was Jeroboam strong any more, in the days of Abijah, —and Yahweh smote him that he died.
21 Toe Abijah loe thacak aep aep; zu hatlai palito a lak moe, capa pumphae hnetto hoi canu hatlai tarukto sak.
And Abijah strengthened himself, and took him, fourteen wives, —and begat twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters.
22 Abijah siangpahrang toksakhaihnawk, a sak ih hmuennawk hoi a thuih ih loknawk boih loe tahmaa Iddo ih ruici cabu thungah tarik o.
And, the rest of the story of Abijah, both his ways and his words, —are written, in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
