2 Weche Mag Ndalo 13

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

In the eighteenth year of king Jerobo'am became Abiyah king 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.

Three years he reigned in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Michayahu the daughter of Uriel of Gib'ah. And there was war between Abiyah and Jerobo'am.

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

And Abiyah joined the battle with an army of valiant men of war, even of four hundred thousand chosen men: Jerobo'am also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valor.

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

And Abiyah stood up above mount Zemarayim, which is in the mountain of Ephraim, and said, Hear me, O Jerobo'am, 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 the Lord the God of Israel hath given the kingdom over Israel to David for eternity, yea, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salts?

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

But there rose up Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, 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 there were gathered unto him idle men, worthless persons, and put themselves in violent resistance against Rehobo'am the son of Solomon: while Rehobo'am was young and tender hearted, and could not sustain himself before 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 sustain yourselves before the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David; and ye are a great multitude; and with you are golden calves, which Jerobo'am hath made for you as 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 the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made yourselves priests like the people of the [various] lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams can become a priest to things that are no gods?

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, the Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, who minister unto the Lord, are the sons of Aaron; and the Levites are at their [appointed] 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 unto the Lord burnt-offerings every morning and every evening and incense of sweet spices; and the rows of the show-bread [do they place] upon the pure table; and there is the candlestick of gold with its lamps, to light the same every evening; for we keep the charge of the Lord our God, while ye have truly 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, with us at our head, is the [true] God, with his priests with trumpets for blowing the alarm, to sound an alarm against you. O children of Israel, do not fight against the Lord the God of your fathers; for ye will 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 Jerobo'am caused an ambush to come around behind them: so they themselves were before Judah, and the ambush was 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 when Judah turned round, behold, they had the battle before and behind: and they cried unto the Lord, and the priests blew 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 then gave the men of Judah a shout: and it came to pass, as the men of Judah shouted, that God struck down Jerobo'am and all Israel before Abiyah 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 from before Judah, and God gave them up 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 Abiyah and his people smote them with a great defeat, 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.

Thus were the children of Israel humbled at that time: and the children of Judah became powerful, because they relied upon the Lord the God of their fathers.

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

And Abiyah made pursuit after Jerobo'am, and captured cities from him, Bethel with its villages, and Jeshanah with its villages, and 'Ephrayin with its villages.

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

And Jerobo'am did not recover strength again in the days of Abiyahu: 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 Abiyahu became strong, and he took himself fourteen wives, and begat twenty and 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 Abiyah, and his ways, and his speeches, are written in the writing of the prophet 'Iddo.
