2 Ljetopisa 13
1 Osamnaeste godine Jeroboamova kraljevanja zakralji se Abija nad Judejom.
In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah reigns over Judah;
2 Tri je godine kraljevao u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Mikaja, Urielova kći iz Gabe. Tada izbi rat između Abije i Jeroboama.
he has reigned three years in Jerusalem (and the name of his mother [is] Michaiah daughter of Uriel, from Gibeah), and there has been war between Abijah 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 Abijah directs the war with a force of mighty men of war, four hundred thousand chosen men, and Jeroboam has set in array [for] battle with him, with eight hundred thousand chosen men, mighty men of valor.
4 Abija je stao na vrh Semarajimske gore u Efrajimovu gorju i rekao: “Čujte me, Jeroboame i sav Izraele!
And Abijah rises up on the hill of Zemaraim that [is] in the hill-country of Ephraim, and says, “Hear me, 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?
Is it not for you to know that YHWH, God of Israel, has given the kingdom over Israel to David for all time, to him and to his sons—a covenant of salt?
6 Ali se podigao Nebatov sin Jeroboam, sluga Davidova sina Salomona, i pobunio se protiv gospodara.
And Jeroboam, son of Nebat, servant of Solomon son of David, rises up and rebels 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 vain men are gathered to him, sons of worthlessness, and they strengthen themselves against Rehoboam son of Solomon, and Rehoboam was a youth, and tender of heart, and has not strengthened himself against 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 are saying to strengthen yourselves before the kingdom of YHWH in the hand of the sons of David, and you [are] a numerous multitude, and calves of gold [are] with you that Jeroboam has made for 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.
Have you not cast out the priests of YHWH, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and make priests for yourselves like the peoples of the lands? Everyone who has come to fill his hand with a bullock, a son of the herd, and seven rams, even he has been a priest for [those which are] not gods!
10 Nama je Bog Jahve, nismo ga ostavili, a svećenici koji služe Jahvi jesu Aronovi sinovi i leviti u svojem poslu.
As for us, YHWH [is] our God, and we have not forsaken Him, and priests are ministering to YHWH, sons of Aaron and the Levites, in the work,
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 are making incense to YHWH, burnt-offerings morning by morning, and evening by evening, and incense of spices, and the arrangement of bread [is] on the pure table, and the lampstand of gold, and its lamps, to burn evening by evening, for we are keeping the charge of our God YHWH, and you have forsaken Him.
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!”
And behold, with us—at [our] head—[is] God, and His priests and trumpets of shouting to shout against you; O sons of Israel, do not fight with YHWH, God of your fathers, for you do not prosper.”
13 Ali Jeroboam zavede zasjedu da im dođe za leđa; tako su Judejcima bili jedni sprijeda, a zasjeda straga.
And Jeroboam has brought around the ambush to come in from behind them, and they are before Judah, and the ambush [is] behind them.
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 Judah turns, and behold, the battle [is] against them, before and behind, and they cry to YHWH, and the priests are blowing with trumpets,
15 Uto Judejci snažno povikaše, a kad su počeli vikati, Bog razbi Jeroboama i sav Izrael pred Abijom i Judejcima.
and the men of Judah shout; and it comes to pass, at the shouting of the men of Judah, that God has struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16 Izraelovi sinovi pobjegoše pred Judejcima i Bog ih predade njima u ruke.
And the sons of Israel flee from the face of Judah, and God gives 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 Abijah and his people strike among them a great striking, and five hundred thousand chosen men of Israel fall wounded.
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 sons of Israel are humbled at that time, and the sons of Judah are strong, for they have leaned on YHWH, 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 Abijah pursues after Jeroboam and captures cities from him: Beth-El and its small towns, and Jeshanah and its small towns, and Ephraim and its small towns.
20 Jeroboam se više nije oporavio za Abijina života; Jahve ga je udario tako da je umro.
And Jeroboam has not retained power anymore in the days of Abijah, and YHWH strikes him, and he dies.
21 Abija se utvrdio i uzeo sebi četrnaest žena te je rodio dvadeset i dva sina i šesnaest kćeri.
And Abijah strengthens himself, and takes fourteen wives for himself, and begets twenty-two 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 matters of Abijah, and his ways, and his words, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
