2 Weche Mag Ndalo 13

1 E higa mar apar gaboro mar loch Jeroboam, Abija nobedo ruodh Juda,

In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam Abia began to reign over Juda.

2 kendo norito piny kuom higni adek kodak Jerusalem. Min mare ne nyinge Maaka ma nyar Uriel ja-Gibea. Ne nitiere lweny e kind Abija kod Jeroboam.

He reigned three years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Maacha, daughter of Uriel of Gabaon. And there was war between Abia and Jeroboam.

3 Abija nodhi e kedo ka en gi jolweny molony alufu mia angʼwen to Jeroboam nochano jolweny moyier marateke alufu mia aboro.

And Abia set the battle in array with an army, with mighty men of war, [even] four hundred thousand mighty men: and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand, [they were] mighty warriors of the host.

4 Abija nochungo e Got Zemaraim e piny gode mag Efraim kowacho niya, “Winjauru in Jeroboam kod jo-Israel duto!

And Abia rose up from the mount Somoron, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear you, Jeroboam, and all Israel:

5 Donge ungʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach jo-Israel nomiyo Daudi kod nyikwaye loch Israel nyaka chiengʼ kotimo kodgi singruok ma ok tow?

[Is it] not for you to know that the Lord God of Israel has given a king over Israel for ever to David, and to his sons, by a covenant of salt?

6 To kata obedo kamano Jeroboam wuod Nebat jatelo mar Solomon wuod Daudi nongʼanyo ni ruodhe.

But Jeroboam the [son] of Nabat, the servant of Solomon [the son] of David, is risen up, and has revolted from his master:

7 Ji moko ma timbegi mono noriwore kode mi negikwedo Rehoboam wuod Solomon kane pod en rawera mayom yom kendo ne ok otek monyalo sirogi.

and there are gathered to him pestilent men, transgressors, and he has risen up against Roboam the [son] of Solomon, while Roboam was young and fearful in heart, and he withstood him not.

8 “To koro sani ichano mondo itamri loch Jehova Nyasaye mantiere e lwet nyikwa Daudi. Adieri un kod jolweny mangʼeny kendo un kod nyiroye mag dhahabu mane Jeroboam oloso mondo obed nyisecheu.

And now you profess to resist the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David; and you [are] a great multitude, and with you are golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.

9 To donge nuriembo jodolo mag Jehova Nyasaye ma yawuot Harun kaachiel gi jo-Lawi kendo ne uyiero jodolo magu kaka jopinje mamoko timo? Ngʼato angʼata mobiro opwodhore gi nyarwath kod imbe abiriyo nyalo bedo jadolo mar gik ma ok nyiseche.

Did you not cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and make to yourselves priests of the people of any [other] land? whoever came to consecrate himself with a calf of the heard and seven rams, he forthwith became a priest to that which is no god.

10 “Wan to Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasachwa kendo ok waseweye ngangʼ. Jodolo matiyone Jehova Nyasaye gin yawuot Harun kendo jo-Lawi konyogi e tijno.

But we have not forsaken the Lord our God, and his priests, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, minister to the Lord; and in their daily courses

11 Okinyi godhiambo gichiwone Jehova Nyasaye misengini miwangʼo pep kod gik mangʼwe ngʼar kendo giketo makati e mesa mopwodhi kendo gimoko teche moket e rachungi taya mar dhahabu godhiambo pile ka pile. Wan warito chike Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, un to useweye.

they sacrifice to the Lord whole burnt offering, morning and evening, and compound incense, and [set] the show bread on the pure table; and [there is] the golden candlestick, and the lamps for burning, to light in the evening: for we keep the charge of the Lord God of our fathers; but you have forsaken him.

12 Nyasaye ni kodwa; en e jatendwa. Jodolo mage biro goyo turumbete miluong ji mondo oked kodu. Jo-Israel, kik uked gi Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kwereu nikech ok ubiloyo.”

And, behold, the Lord and his priests are with us at our head, and the signal trumpets to sound an alarm over us. Children of Israel, fight not against the Lord God of our fathers; for you shall not prosper.

13 Jeroboam noseoro jolweny mondo oluor e tokgi mondo ni kane en e nyim Juda to jolweny moko mondo omonjgi gi ka tokgi.

Now Jeroboam had caused an ambush to come round upon him from behind: and he [himself] was before Juda, and the ambush behind.

14 Kane jo-Juda olokore moneno nine imonjogi gi ka tokgi kod e nyimgi eka negiywagore ni Jehova Nyasaye. To jodolo bende nogoyo turumbete

And Juda looked back, and, behold, the battle [was] against them before and behind: and they cried to the Lord, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.

15 eka jo-Juda nongʼiyo kendo kane gigiyo kamano Nyasaye nokeyo Jeroboam kaachiel gi jo-Israel duto e nyim Abija kod jo-Juda.

And the men of Juda shouted: and it came to pass, when the men of Juda shouted, that the Lord struck Jeroboam and Israel before Abia and Juda.

16 Jo-Israel noringo akeya nono e nyim jo-Juda nikech Nyasaye nochiwogi e lwet jo-Juda.

And the children of Israel fled from before Juda; and the Lord delivered them into their hands.

17 Abija kod joge nonegogi malich ahinya ma joma nohinyore kuom jo-Israel marateke moyier ne gin ji alufu mia abich.

And Abia and his people struck them with a great slaughter: and there fell slain of Israel five hundred thousand mighty men.

18 Kamano e kaka ne olo jo-Israel chiengʼno, jo-Juda nolocho nikech negigeno kuom Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kweregi.

So the children of Israel were brought low in that day, and the children of Juda prevailed, because they trusted on the Lord God of their fathers.

19 Abija nolawo Jeroboam mokawo mieche kaka Bethel gi Jeshana kod Efron kod mier matindo mokiewo kode.

And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and he took from him the cities, Baethel and her towns, and Jesyna and her towns, and Ephron and her towns.

20 Loch Jeroboam ne ok ochako obedo motegno e kinde Abija. Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye nogoye motho.

And Jeroboam did not recover strength again all the days of Abia: and the Lord struck him, and he died.

21 Loch Abija nomedo gurore motegno. Nokendo mon apar gangʼwen kendo ne en gi yawuowi piero ariyo gariyo kod nyiri apar gauchiel.

But Abia strengthened himself, and took to himself fourteen wives, and he begot twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters.

22 Weche moko mag loch Abija, timbene duto kod gik mane owacho ondiki e kitap Ido janabi.

And the rest of the acts of Abia, and his deeds, and his sayings, are written in the book of the prophet Addo.
