2 Kronická 13
1 Léta osmnáctého krále Jeroboáma kraloval Abiáš nad Judou.
When Jeroboam had been ruling [Israel] for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
2 Tři léta kraloval v Jeruzalémě, (a jméno matky jeho Michaia, dcera Urielova z Gabaa), a byla válka mezi Abiášem a Jeroboámem.
He ruled in Jerusalem for three years. His mother was Micaiah (OR, Maacah), the daughter of Uriel from Gibeah [town]. There was a war between [the armies of] Abijah and Jeroboam.
3 Pročež sšikoval Abiáš vojsko udatných bojovníků, čtyřikrát sto tisíc mužů výborných, Jeroboám pak sšikoval se proti němu, maje osmkrát sto tisíc mužů výborných, velmi udatných.
Abijah went into the battle, taking 400,000 of his capable soldiers, and Jeroboam prepared to fight them, taking 800,000 of his capable troops.
4 I postavil se Abiáš na vrchu hory Semaraim, kteráž byla mezi horami Efraimskými, a řekl: Slyšte mne, Jeroboáme i všecken Izraeli.
Abijah stood on the top of Zemaraim Mountain, which is in the hilly area that belonged to the tribe of Ephraim, and he shouted, “Jeroboam and all you other people of Israel, listen to me!
5 Zdaliž jste neměli věděti, že Hospodin Bůh Izraelský dal království Davidovi nad Izraelem na věky, jemu i synům jeho smlouvou trvánlivou?
You should know that Yahweh, the God to whom all we Israelis belong, has appointed David and his descendants to be the kings of Israel forever. He has confirmed that by making a permanent agreement.
6 Ale povstal Jeroboám syn Nebatův, služebník Šalomouna syna Davidova, a zprotivil se pánu svému.
But Jeroboam, who was [only] an official of David’s son King Solomon, rebelled against his king.
7 A sebrali se k němu lidé nevážní a bezbožní a zsilili se proti Roboámovi synu Šalomounovu, Roboám pak byv dítě a srdce choulostivého, neodepřel jim zmužile.
And when Solomon’s son Rehoboam became king and was still young and inexperienced, a group of worthless scoundrels gathered around you, Jeroboam, and rebelled against Rehoboam.
8 Tak vy nyní myslíte zsiliti se proti království Hospodinovu, kteréž jest v ruce synů Davidových, a jest vás veliké množství; máte také při sobě telata zlatá, kterýchž vám nadělal Jeroboám, za bohy.
“And now you are planning to fight against the kingdom that Yahweh established to be governed by David’s descendants. It is true that you have a huge army, and you and your soldiers have brought with you the golden [statues of] calves that Jeroboam’s workers made to be gods for all of you.
9 Zdaliž jste nezavrhli kněží Hospodinových, synů Aronových a Levítů, a nadělali jste sobě kněží, tak jako národové jiných zemí? Kdožkoli přichází, aby posvěceny byly ruce jeho volčetem mladým a sedmi skopci, hned je knězem těch, jenž nejsou bohové.
But you expelled the priests that Yahweh [appointed], men who are descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest], and you expelled the descendants of Levi, and you appointed the priests that you wanted, like the people of other countries do. You allow anyone to become a priest of idols that are not gods if he comes to dedicate himself to be a priest by sacrificing a young bull and seven rams.
10 Ale my jsme Hospodina Boha našeho, aniž jsme se ho spustili, kněží pak přisluhující Hospodinu jsou synové Aronovi a Levítové, kteříž konají práci svou,
“As for us, Yahweh is our God, and we have not abandoned him. Our priests who serve Yahweh are descendants of Aaron, and the descendants of Levi assist them.
11 A pálí Hospodinu zápaly každého jitra a každého večera, kadí také vonnými věcmi, zpořádaní také chlebů na stole čistém, a svícen zlatý s lampami jeho spravují, aby hořely každého večera. A tak my ostříháme nařízení Hospodina Boha svého, ale vy strhli jste se jeho.
Every morning and every evening they present to Yahweh offerings to be completely burned [on the altar], and they burn fragrant incense. [Each week] they place the sacred bread on the sacred table, and each morning they light the lamps that are on the gold lampstand. We are obeying what Yahweh our God requires us to do. But you have abandoned him.
12 Protož aj, s námi jest Bůh vůdce náš, a kněží jeho a trouby zvučné, aby zněly proti vám. Synové Izraelští, nebojujte s Hospodinem Bohem otců svých, nebo nepovede se vám šťastně.
Yahweh is with us; he is our leader. The priests whom he has appointed will blow their trumpets to signal [that we are ready] to fight a battle against you. You Israeli men, do not fight against Yahweh, the God to whom your ancestors belonged, because you will not be successful and win the battle against him.”
13 Mezi tím Jeroboám obvedl zálohy, aby po zadu na ně připadli, a tak byli Izraelští před Judskými, a zálohy ty byly jim pozadu.
[While he was speaking, ] Jeroboam sent some of his troops around the army of Judah. So while the soldiers who were with Jeroboam were in front of the army of Judah, the other soldiers of Israel were behind the army of Judah.
14 Tedy spatřiv Juda, an válka jim s předu i s zadu, zvolali k Hospodinu, a kněží troubili v trouby.
When the soldiers of Judah turned and saw that they were going to be attacked from the front and from the rear, they cried out to Yahweh. The priests blew their trumpets,
15 Učinili také pokřik muži Judští. I stalo se v tom pokřiku mužů Judských, ranil Bůh Jeroboáma i všecken Izrael před Abiášem a Judou.
and the men of Judah shouted a loud battle-cry. Then Yahweh [enabled Abijah and the army of Judah to] defeat Jeroboam and [the army of] Israel.
16 A tak utíkali synové Izraelští před Judou, ale dal je Bůh v ruku jejich.
The soldiers of Israel fled from the soldiers of Judah, and God enabled the army of Judah to defeat them.
17 Nebo porazili je Abiáš a lid jeho ranou velikou, tak že padlo zbitých z Izraele pětkrát sto tisíc mužů výborných.
Abijah and his troops struck the capable soldiers of Israel and killed 500,000 of them.
18 Protož sníženi jsou synové Izraelští v ten čas, a zmocnili se synové Judovi, nebo zpolehli na Hospodina Boha otců svých.
So the soldiers of Israel were defeated, and the soldiers of Judah won the battle because they trusted in Yahweh, the God to whom their ancestors belonged.
19 I honil Abiáš Jeroboáma, a vzal mu města, Bethel i vsi jeho, Jesana i vsi jeho, a Efron i vsi jeho.
Abijah’s army pursued the army of Jeroboam, and they captured from the people of Israel the cities of Bethel, Jeshanah, and Ephron, and the surrounding villages.
20 Aniž se mohl zase zsiliti více Jeroboám po všecky dny Abiášovy. I ranil jej Hospodin, tak že umřel.
During the remaining time that Abijah ruled, Jeroboam did not become powerful again. Then Yahweh caused him to become very ill, and he died.
21 Ale Abiáš zmocnil se, kterýž byl sobě pojal žen čtrnáct, a zplodil dvamecítma synů a šestnácte dcer.
But Abijah became more powerful. He married 14 wives and had 22 sons and 16 daughters.
22 Ostatek pak činů Abiášových, a života jeho i řečí jeho, sepsáno jest v knize proroka Iddo.
An account of the other things that Abijah did while he was the king, including what he said and what he did, is in the scroll written by the prophet Iddo.
