2 Chronicles 13
1 In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah.
I Kong Jeroboams attende Regeringsaar blev Abija Konge over Juda.
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
Tre Aar herskede han i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Mikaja og var Datter af Uriel fra Gibea. Abija og Jeroboam laa i Krig med hinanden.
3 And Abijah joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men. And Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men who were mighty men of valor.
Abija aabnede Krigen med en krigsdygtig Hær, 400 000 udsøgte Mænd, og Jeroboam mødte ham med 800 000 udsøgte Mænd, dygtige Krigere,
4 And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said, Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel.
Da stillede Abija sig paa Bjerget Zemarajim, der hører til Efraims Bjerge, og sagde: »Hør mig, Jeroboam og hele Israel!
5 Should ye not know that Jehovah, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
Burde I ikke vide, at HERREN, Israels Gud, har givet David og hans Efterkommere Kongemagten over Israel til evig Tid ved en Saltpagt?
6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.
Men Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, Davids Søn Salomos Træl, rejste sig og gjorde Oprør mod sin Herre,
7 And there were gathered to him worthless men, base fellows, who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon when Rehoboam was young and tender-hearted, and could not withstand them.
og daarlige Folk, Niddinger, samlede sig om ham og bød Rehabeam, Salomos Søn, Trods; og Rehabeam var ung og veg og kunde ikke hævde sig over for dem.
8 And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the sons of David, and ye are a great multitude, and there are with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods.
Og nu mener I at kunne hævde eder over for HERRENS Kongedømme i Davids Efterkommeres Haand, fordi I er en stor Hob og paa eders Side har de Guldkalve, Jeroboam lod lave eder til Guder!
9 Have ye not driven out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for you after the manner of the peoples of other lands? So that whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods.
Har I ikke drevet HERRENS Præster, Arons Sønner, og Leviterne bort og skaffet eder Præster paa samme Maade som Hedningefolkene? Enhver, der kommer med en ung Tyr og syv Vædre for at indsættes, bliver Præst for Guder, der ikke er Guder!
10 But as for us, Jehovah is our God, and we have not forsaken him. And we have priests ministering to Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work.
Men vor Gud er HERREN, og vi har ikke forladt ham; de Præster, der tjener HERREN, er Arons Sønner og Leviterne udfører den øvrige Tjeneste;
11 And they burn to Jehovah every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. Also they set the showbread in order upon the pure table, and the lampstand of gold with the lamps of it to burn every evening. For we keep the charge of Jehovah our God, but ye have forsaken him.
de antænder hver Morgen og Aften Brændofre til HERREN og vellugtende Røgelse, lægger Skuebrødene til Rette paa Guldbordet og tænder Guldlysestagen og dens Lamper Aften efter Aften, thi vi holder HERREN vor Guds Forskrifter, men I har forladt ham!
12 And, behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. O sons of Israel, fight ye not against Jehovah, the God of your fathers. For ye shall not prosper.
Se, med os, i Spidsen for os er Gud og hans Præster og Alarmtrompeterne, med hvilke der skal blæses til Kamp imod eder! Israeliter, indlad eder ikke i Kamp med HERREN, eders Fædres Gud, thi I faar ikke Lykken med eder!«
13 But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come around behind them, so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.
Jeroboam lod imidlertid Bagholdet gøre en omgaaende Bevægelse for at komme i Ryggen paa dem, og saaledes havde Judæerne Hæren foran sig og Bagholdet i Ryggen.
14 And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them. And they cried to Jehovah, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
Da Judæerne vendte sig om og saa, at Angreb truede dem baade forfra og bagfra, raabte de til HERREN, medens Præsterne blæste i Trompeterne.
15 Then 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.
Saa udstødte Judæerne Krigsskriget, og da Judæerne udstødte Krigsskriget, slog Gud Jeroboam og hele Israel foran Abija og Juda.
16 And the sons of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.
Israeliterne flygtede for Judæerne, og Gud gav dem i deres Haand;
17 And Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter. So there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
og Abija og hans Folk tilføjede dem et stort Nederlag, saa der af Israeliterne faldt 500 000 udsøgte Krigere.
18 Thus the sons of Israel were brought under at that time, and the sons of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon Jehovah, the God of their fathers.
Saaledes ydmygedes Israeliterne den Gang, men Judæerne styrkedes, fordi de støttede sig til HERREN, deres Fædres Gud.
19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns of it, and Jeshanah with the towns of it, and Ephron with the towns of it.
Og Abija forfulgte Jeroboam og fratog ham flere Byer, Betel med Smaabyer, Jesjana med Smaabyer og Efrajin med Smaabyer.
20 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah. And Jehovah smote him, and he died.
Jeroboam kom ikke til Kræfter mere, saa længe Abija levede; og HERREN slog ham, saa han døde.
21 But Abijah grew mighty, and took to himself fourteen wives, and begot twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters.
Men Abijas Magt voksede. Han ægtede fjorten Hustruer og avlede to og tyve Sønner og seksten Døtre.
22 And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Abija, hans Færd og Ord, staar jo optegnet i Profeten Iddos Udlægning.
