2 Chronicles 13
1 In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah.
Anno octavodecimo regis Ieroboam, regnavit Abia super Iudam.
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.
Tribus annis regnavit in Ierusalem, nomenque matris eius Michaia, filia Uriel de Gabaa: et erat bellum inter Abiam et Ieroboam.
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.
Cumque iniisset Abia certamen, et haberet bellicosissimos viros, et electorum quadraginta millia: Ieroboam instruxit econtra aciem octoginta millia virorum, qui et ipsi electi erant, et ad bella fortissimi.
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.
Stetit ergo Abia super montem Semeron, qui erat in Ephraim, et ait: Audi Ieroboam, et omnis 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?
Num ignoratis quod Dominus Deus Israel dederit regnum David super Israel in sempiternum, ipsi et filiis eius in pactum salis?
6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.
Et surrexit Ieroboam filius Nabat, servus Salomonis filii David: et rebellavit contra dominum suum.
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.
Congregatique sunt ad eum viri vanissimi, et filii Belial: et praevaluerunt contra Roboam filium Salomonis: porro Roboam erat rudis, et corde pavido, nec potuit resistere eis.
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.
Nunc ergo vos dicitis quod resistere possitis regno Domini, quod possidet per filios David, habetisque grandem populi multitudinem, atque vitulos aureos, quos fecit vobis Ieroboam in deos.
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.
Et eiecistis Sacerdotes Domini, filios Aaron, atque Levitas: et fecistis vobis Sacerdotes sicut omnes populi terrarum: quicumque venerit, et initiaverit manum suam in tauro de bobus, et in arietibus septem, fit sacerdos eorum, qui non sunt dii.
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.
Noster autem Dominus, Deus est, quem non relinquimus, Sacerdotesque ministrant Domino de filiis Aaron, et Levitae sunt in ordine suo:
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.
Holocausta quoque offerunt Domino per singulos dies mane et vespere, et thymiama iuxta legis praecepta confectum, et proponuntur panes in mensa mundissima, estque apud nos candelabrum aureum, et lucernae eius, ut accendantur semper ad vesperam: nos quippe custodimus praecepta Domini Dei nostri, quem vos reliquistis.
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.
Ergo in exercitu nostro dux Deus est, et Sacerdotes eius, qui clangunt tubis, et resonant contra vos: filii Israel nolite pugnare contra Dominum Deum patrum vestrorum, quia non vobis expedit.
13 But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come around behind them, so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.
Haec illo loquente, Ieroboam retro moliebatur insidias. Cumque ex adverso hostium staret, ignorantem Iudam suo ambiebat exercitu.
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.
Respiciensque Iudas vidit instare bellum ex adverso et post tergum, et clamavit ad Dominum: ac Sacerdotes tubis canere coeperunt.
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.
Omnesque viri Iuda vociferati sunt: et ecce illis clamantibus, perterruit Deus Ieroboam, et omnem Israel qui stabat ex adverso Abia et Iuda.
16 And the sons of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.
Fugeruntque filii Israel Iudam, et tradidit eos Deus in manu eorum.
17 And Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter. So there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
Percussit ergo eos Abia, et populus eius plaga magna: et corruerunt vulnerati ex Israel quinquaginta millia virorum fortium.
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.
Humiliatique sunt filii Israel in tempore illo, et vehementissime confortati filii Iuda eo quod sperassent in Domino Deo patrum suorum.
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.
Persecutus est autem Abia fugientem Ieroboam, et cepit civitates eius, Bethel et filias eius, et Iesana cum filiabus suis, Ephron quoque et filias eius:
20 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah. And Jehovah smote him, and he died.
nec valuit ultra resistere Ieroboam in diebus Abia: quem percussit Dominus, et mortuus est.
21 But Abijah grew mighty, and took to himself fourteen wives, and begot twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters.
Igitur Abia, confortato imperio suo, accepit uxores quattuordecim: procreavitque viginti duos filios, et sedecim filias.
22 And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
Reliqua autem sermonum Abia, viarumque et operum eius, scripta sunt diligentissime in Libro Addo Prophetae.
