历代志下 13
1 耶罗波安王十八年，亚比雅登基作犹大王，
In the eyghteenth yeere of King Ieroboam began Abiiah to reigne ouer Iudah.
2 在耶路撒冷作王三年。他母亲名叫米该亚，是基比亚人乌列的女儿。 亚比雅常与耶罗波安争战。
He reigned three yere in Ierusalem: (his mothers name also was Michaiah the daughter of Vriel of Gibea) and there was warre betweene Abiiah and Ieroboam.
3 有一次亚比雅率领挑选的兵四十万摆阵，都是勇敢的战士；耶罗波安也挑选大能的勇士八十万，对亚比雅摆阵。
And Abiiah set the battel in aray with the armie of valiant men of warre, euen foure hundreth thousand chosen men. Ieroboam also set the battell in aray against him with eight hundreth thousande chosen men which were strong and valiant.
4 亚比雅站在以法莲山地中的洗玛脸山上，说：“耶罗波安和以色列众人哪，要听我说！
And Abiiah stood vp vpon mount Zemeraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and sayde, O Ieroboam, and all Israel, heare you me,
5 耶和华—以色列的 神曾立盐约，将以色列国永远赐给大卫和他的子孙，你们不知道吗？
Ought you not to know that the Lord God of Israel hath giuen the kingdome ouer Israel to Dauid for euer, euen to him and to his sonnes by a couenant of salt?
6 无奈大卫儿子所罗门的臣仆、尼八儿子耶罗波安起来背叛他的主人。
And Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat the seruant of Salomon the sonne of Dauid is risen vp, and hath rebelled against his lord:
7 有些无赖的匪徒聚集跟从他，逞强攻击所罗门的儿子罗波安；那时罗波安还幼弱，不能抵挡他们。
And there are gathered to him vayne men and wicked, and made themselues strong against Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon: for Rehoboam was but a childe and tender hearted, and coulde not resist them.
8 “现在你们有意抗拒大卫子孙手下所治耶和华的国，你们的人也甚多，你们那里又有耶罗波安为你们所造当作神的金牛犊。
Now therefore ye thinke that yee be able to resist against the kingdome of the Lord, which is in the handes of the sonnes of Dauid, and ye bee a great multitude, and the golden calues are with you which Ieroboam made you for gods.
9 你们不是驱逐耶和华的祭司亚伦的后裔和利未人吗？不是照着外邦人的恶俗为自己立祭司吗？无论何人牵一只公牛犊、七只公绵羊将自己分别出来，就可作虚无之神的祭司。
Haue ye not driuen away the Priestes of the Lord the sonnes of Aaron and the Leuites, and haue made you Priests like the people of other countreis? whosoeuer commeth to consecrate with a yong bullocke and seuen rams, the same may be a Priest of them that are no gods.
10 至于我们，耶和华是我们的 神，我们并没有离弃他。我们有事奉耶和华的祭司，都是亚伦的后裔，并有利未人各尽其职，
But wee belong vnto the Lord our God, and haue not forsaken him, and the Priestes the sonnes of Aaron minister vnto the Lord, and the Leuites in their office.
11 每日早晚向耶和华献燔祭，烧美香，又在精金的桌子上摆陈设饼；又有金灯台和灯盏，每晚点起，因为我们遵守耶和华—我们 神的命；惟有你们离弃了他。
And they burne vnto the Lord euery morning and euery euening burnt offerings and sweete incense, and the breade is set in order vpon the pure table, and the candlesticke of golde with the lampes thereof, to burne euery euening: for we keepe the watch of the Lord our God: but ye haue forsaken him.
12 率领我们的是 神，我们这里也有 神的祭司拿号向你们吹出大声。以色列人哪，不要与耶和华—你们列祖的 神争战，因你们必不能亨通。”
And behold, this God is with vs, as a captaine, and his Priests with the sounding trumpets, to crie an alarme against you. O yee children of Israel, fight not against the Lord God of your fathers: for ye shall not prosper.
13 耶罗波安却在犹大人的后头设伏兵。这样，以色列人在犹大人的前头，伏兵在犹大人的后头。
But Ieroboam caused an ambushment to compasse, and come behind them, when they were before Iudah, and the ambushment behinde them.
14 犹大人回头观看，见前后都有敌兵，就呼求耶和华，祭司也吹号。
Then Iudah looked, and beholde, the battel was before and behinde them, and they cried vnto the Lord, and the Priests blewe with the trumpets,
15 于是犹大人呐喊；犹大人呐喊的时候， 神就使耶罗波安和以色列众人败在亚比雅与犹大人面前。
And the men of Iudah gaue a shoute: and euen as the men of Iudah shouted, God smote Ieroboam and also Israel before Abiiah and Iudah.
16 以色列人在犹大人面前逃跑， 神将他们交在犹大人手里。
And the children of Israel fledde before Iudah, and God deliuered them into their hande.
17 亚比雅和他的军兵大大杀戮以色列人，以色列人仆倒死亡的精兵有五十万。
And Abiiah and his people slewe a great slaughter of them, so that there fel downe wounded of Israel fiue hundreth thousand chosen men.
18 那时，以色列人被制伏了，犹大人得胜，是因倚靠耶和华—他们列祖的 神。
So the children of Israel were brought vnder at that time: and the children of Iudah preuailed, because they stayed vpon the Lord God of their fathers.
19 亚比雅追赶耶罗波安，攻取了他的几座城，就是伯特利和属伯特利的镇市，耶沙拿和属耶沙拿的镇市，以法拉音和属以法拉音的镇市。
And Abiiah pursued after Ieroboam, and tooke cities from him, euen Beth-el, and the villages thereof, and Ieshanah with her villages, and Ephron with her villages.
20 亚比雅在世的时候，耶罗波安不能再强盛；耶和华攻击他，他就死了。
And Ieroboam recouered no strength againe in the dayes of Abiiah, but the Lord plagued him, and he dyed.
21 亚比雅却渐渐强盛，娶妻妾十四个，生了二十二个儿子，十六个女儿。
So Abiiah waxed mightie, and marryed foureteene wiues, and begate two and twentie sonnes, and sixteene daughters.
22 亚比雅其余的事和他的言行都写在先知易多的传上。
The rest of the actes of Abiiah and his maners and his sayings are written in the storie of the Prophet Iddo.
