2 Weche Mag Ndalo 13

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

In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.

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 Michaiah, the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah 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 Abijah began the war with an army of men of war, four hundred thousand chosen men; and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, mighty men of valour.

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

And Abijah stood up on the top of mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, 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?

Ought ye not to know that Jehovah the God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, to him 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 Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up and rebelled against his lord.

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 vain men, sons of Belial, gathered to him and strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, and Rehoboam was young and faint-hearted, and did not shew himself strong against them.

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 ye think to shew yourselves strong against the kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the sons of David; and ye are a great multitude, and ye have with you the golden calves that 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.

Have ye not cast out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made you priests as the peoples of the lands? whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, he becomes a priest of what is not 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 as for us, Jehovah is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests that serve Jehovah are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites are at their work:

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.

and they burn to Jehovah every morning and every evening burnt-offerings and sweet incense; the loaves also are set in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with its lamps to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of Jehovah our God; but ye 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, we have God with us at our head, and his priests, and the loud-sounding trumpets to sound an alarm against you. Children of Israel, do not fight with Jehovah the God of your fathers; for ye 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.

But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them; and they were before Judah, and the ambush behind them.

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 Judah looked back, and behold, they had the battle in front and behind; and they cried to Jehovah, 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 Judah gave a shout; and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

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

And the children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand.

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

And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter; and there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.

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

And the children of Israel were humbled at that time, and the children of Judah were strengthened, because they relied upon Jehovah the God of their fathers.

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

And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him: Bethel with its dependent villages, and Jeshanah with its dependent villages, and Ephron with its dependent villages.

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

And Jeroboam did not recover strength again in the days of Abijah; and Jehovah smote 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 Abijah strengthened himself, and took fourteen wives, and 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 Abijah, and his ways and his sayings, are written in the treatise of the prophet Iddo.
