2 Ljetopisa 13
1 Osamnaeste godine Jeroboamova kraljevanja zakralji se Abija nad Judejom.
In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abia reigned over Juda.
2 Tri je godine kraljevao u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Mikaja, Urielova kći iz Gabe. Tada izbi rat između Abije i Jeroboama.
Three years he reigned in Jerusalem, and his mother’s name was Michaia, the daughter of Uriel of Gabaa: and there was war between Abia and Jeroboam.
3 Abija je izašao u boj s hrabrim ratnicima, sa četiri stotine tisuća izabranih junaka; Jeroboam je svrstao u bojni red protiv njega osam stotina tisuća ljudi, sve biranih junaka.
And when Abia had begun battle, and had with him four hundred thousand most valiant and chosen men, Jeroboam put his army in array against him, eight hundred thousand men, who were also chosen and most valiant for war.
4 Abija je stao na vrh Semarajimske gore u Efrajimovu gorju i rekao: “Čujte me, Jeroboame i sav Izraele!
And Abia stood upon mount Semeron, which was in Ephraim, and said: Hear me, O Jeroboam, and all Israel:
5 Ne znate li da je Jahve, Bog Izraelov, predao Davidu kraljevstvo nad Izraelom zauvijek, njemu i njegovim sinovima, osoljenim savezom?
Do you not know that the Lord God of Israel gave to David the kingdom over Israel for ever, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
6 Ali se podigao Nebatov sin Jeroboam, sluga Davidova sina Salomona, i pobunio se protiv gospodara.
And Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up: and rebelled against his lord.
7 Skupili su se oko njega ljudi praznovi i nevaljalci i stali prkositi Salomonovu sinu Roboamu, koji je bio mlad i strašljiva srca te se nije umio hrabro braniti od njih.
And there were gathered to him vain men, and children of Belial: and they prevailed against Roboam the son of Solomon: for Roboam was unexperienced, and of a fearful heart, and could not resist them.
8 Pa sada mislite da se možete oprijeti Jahvinu kraljevstvu što je u ruci Davidovih sinova jer vas je veliko mnoštvo i imate kod sebe zlatnu telad koju vam je napravio Jeroboam da vam budu bogovi.
And now you say that you are able to withstand the kingdom of the Lord, which he possesseth by the sons of David, and you have a great multitude of people, and golden calves, which Jeroboam hath made you for gods.
9 Otjerali ste Jahvine svećenike, Aronove sinove i levite, i postavili sebi svećenike kao drugi zemaljski narodi. Tko je god došao s juncem i sa sedam ovnova, postao je svećenik vašim ništavim bogovima.
And you have cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites: and you have made you priests, like all the nations of the earth: whosoever cometh and consecrateth his hand with a bullock of the herd, and with seven rams, is made a priest of those who are no gods.
10 Nama je Bog Jahve, nismo ga ostavili, a svećenici koji služe Jahvi jesu Aronovi sinovi i leviti u svojem poslu.
But the Lord is our God, whom we forsake not, and the priests who minister to the Lord are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites are in their order.
11 Pale Jahvi na kad paljenice svakoga jutra i svake večeri s mirisnim kadom, postavljaju kruhove na čist stol i upaljuju svake večeri zlatan svijećnjak sa svijećama; jer mi držimo naredbu Jahve, svojega Boga, a vi ste ga ostavili.
And they offer holocausts to the Lord, every day, morning and evening, and incense made according to the ordinance of the law, and the leaves are set forth on a most clean table, and there is with us the golden candlestick, and the lamps thereof, to be lighted always in the evening: for we keep the precepts of the Lord our God, whom you have forsaken.
12 Zato je, evo, nama na čelu Bog i njegovi svećenici s glasnim trubama da gromko trube protiv vas. Izraelovi sinovi, ne udarajte na Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca, jer nećete imati sreće!”
Therefore God is the leader in our army, and his priests who sound with trumpets, and resound against you: O children of Israel, fight not against the Lord the God of your fathers, for it is not good for you.
13 Ali Jeroboam zavede zasjedu da im dođe za leđa; tako su Judejcima bili jedni sprijeda, a zasjeda straga.
While he spoke these things, Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind him. And while he stood facing the enemies, he encompassed Juda. who perceived it not, with his army.
14 Kad se Judejci obazreše, a ono, gle, boj im bješe sprijeda i otraga. Tada zavapiše k Jahvi, a svećenici stadoše trubiti u trube.
And when Juda looked back, they saw the battle coming upon them both before and behind, and they cried to the Lord: and the priests began to sound with the trumpets.
15 Uto Judejci snažno povikaše, a kad su počeli vikati, Bog razbi Jeroboama i sav Izrael pred Abijom i Judejcima.
And all the men of Juda shouted: and behold when they shouted, God terrified Jeroboam, and all Israel that stood against Abia and Juda.
16 Izraelovi sinovi pobjegoše pred Judejcima i Bog ih predade njima u ruke.
And the children of Israel fled before Juda, and the Lord delivered them into their hand.
17 Abija je s narodom učinio velik pokolj među njima te je od Izraela palo pobijenih pet stotina tisuća izabranih ljudi.
And Abia and his people slew them with a great slaughter, and there fell wounded of Israel five hundred thousand valiant men.
18 Tako su sinovi Izraelovi bili poniženi u to vrijeme, a Judini su sinovi ojačali, jer su se oslonili na Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca.
And the children of Israel were brought down, at that time, and the children of Juda were exceedingly strengthened, because they had trusted in the Lord the God of their fathers.
19 Abija je potjerao Jeroboama i osvojio od njega gradove Betel sa selima, Ješanu sa selima i Efron sa selima.
And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel and her daughters, and Jesana with her daughters, Ephron also and her daughters.
20 Jeroboam se više nije oporavio za Abijina života; Jahve ga je udario tako da je umro.
And Jeroboam was not able to resist any more, in the days of Abia: and the Lord struck him, and he died.
21 Abija se utvrdio i uzeo sebi četrnaest žena te je rodio dvadeset i dva sina i šesnaest kćeri.
But Abia, being strengthened in his kingdom, took fourteen wives: and begot two and twenty sons, and sixteen daughters.
22 A ostali Abijini doživljaji i njegovi pothvati i besjede zapisani su u tumačenju proroka Adona.
And the rest of the acts of Abia, and of his ways and works, are written diligently in the book of Addo the prophet.
