2 Chronicles 13
1 In the eighteenth year of Jeroboam’s reign, Abijah became king of Judah,
耶罗波安王十八年，亚比雅登基作犹大王，
2 and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Micaiah daughter of Uriel; she was from Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
在耶路撒冷作王三年。他母亲名叫米该亚，是基比亚人乌列的女儿。 亚比雅常与耶罗波安争战。
3 Abijah went into battle with an army of 400,000 chosen men, while Jeroboam drew up in formation against him with 800,000 chosen and mighty men of valor.
有一次亚比雅率领挑选的兵四十万摆阵，都是勇敢的战士；耶罗波安也挑选大能的勇士八十万，对亚比雅摆阵。
4 Then Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim in the hill country of Ephraim and said, “Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel!
亚比雅站在以法莲山地中的洗玛脸山上，说：“耶罗波安和以色列众人哪，要听我说！
5 Do you not know that the LORD, the God of Israel, has given the kingship of Israel to David and his descendants forever by a covenant of salt?
耶和华—以色列的 神曾立盐约，将以色列国永远赐给大卫和他的子孙，你们不知道吗？
6 Yet Jeroboam son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon son of David, rose up and rebelled against his master.
无奈大卫儿子所罗门的臣仆、尼八儿子耶罗波安起来背叛他的主人。
7 Then worthless and wicked men gathered around him to resist Rehoboam son of Solomon when he was young, inexperienced, and unable to resist them.
有些无赖的匪徒聚集跟从他，逞强攻击所罗门的儿子罗波安；那时罗波安还幼弱，不能抵挡他们。
8 And now you think you can resist the kingdom of the LORD, which is in the hands of David’s descendants. You are indeed a vast army, and you have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made for you as gods.
“现在你们有意抗拒大卫子孙手下所治耶和华的国，你们的人也甚多，你们那里又有耶罗波安为你们所造当作神的金牛犊。
9 But did you not drive out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites? And did you not make priests for yourselves as do the peoples of other lands? Now whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams can become a priest of things that are not gods.
你们不是驱逐耶和华的祭司亚伦的后裔和利未人吗？不是照着外邦人的恶俗为自己立祭司吗？无论何人牵一只公牛犊、七只公绵羊将自己分别出来，就可作虚无之神的祭司。
10 But as for us, the LORD is our God. We have not forsaken Him; the priests who minister to the LORD are sons of Aaron, and the Levites attend to their duties.
至于我们，耶和华是我们的 神，我们并没有离弃他。我们有事奉耶和华的祭司，都是亚伦的后裔，并有利未人各尽其职，
11 Every morning and every evening they present burnt offerings and fragrant incense to the LORD. They set out the rows of showbread on the ceremonially clean table, and every evening they light the lamps of the gold lampstand. We are carrying out the requirements of the LORD our God, while you have forsaken Him.
每日早晚向耶和华献燔祭，烧美香，又在精金的桌子上摆陈设饼；又有金灯台和灯盏，每晚点起，因为我们遵守耶和华—我们 神的命；惟有你们离弃了他。
12 Now behold, God Himself is with us as our head, and His priests with their trumpets sound the battle call against you. O children of Israel, do not fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers, for you will not succeed.”
率领我们的是 神，我们这里也有 神的祭司拿号向你们吹出大声。以色列人哪，不要与耶和华—你们列祖的 神争战，因你们必不能亨通。”
13 Now Jeroboam had sent troops around to ambush from the rear, so that while he was in front of Judah, the ambush was behind them.
耶罗波安却在犹大人的后头设伏兵。这样，以色列人在犹大人的前头，伏兵在犹大人的后头。
14 When Judah turned and discovered that the battle was both before and behind them, they cried out to the LORD. Then the priests blew the trumpets,
犹大人回头观看，见前后都有敌兵，就呼求耶和华，祭司也吹号。
15 and the men of Judah raised the battle cry. And when they raised the cry, God routed Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
于是犹大人呐喊；犹大人呐喊的时候， 神就使耶罗波安和以色列众人败在亚比雅与犹大人面前。
16 So the Israelites fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hands.
以色列人在犹大人面前逃跑， 神将他们交在犹大人手里。
17 Then Abijah and his people struck them with a mighty blow, and 500,000 chosen men of Israel fell slain.
亚比雅和他的军兵大大杀戮以色列人，以色列人仆倒死亡的精兵有五十万。
18 Thus the Israelites were subdued at that time, and the men of Judah prevailed because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers.
那时，以色列人被制伏了，犹大人得胜，是因倚靠耶和华—他们列祖的 神。
19 Abijah pursued Jeroboam and captured some cities from him: Bethel, Jeshanah, and Ephron, along with their villages.
亚比雅追赶耶罗波安，攻取了他的几座城，就是伯特利和属伯特利的镇市，耶沙拿和属耶沙拿的镇市，以法拉音和属以法拉音的镇市。
20 Jeroboam did not again recover his power during the days of Abijah, and the LORD struck him down and he died.
亚比雅在世的时候，耶罗波安不能再强盛；耶和华攻击他，他就死了。
21 But Abijah grew strong, married fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
亚比雅却渐渐强盛，娶妻妾十四个，生了二十二个儿子，十六个女儿。
22 Now the rest of the acts of Abijah, along with his ways and his words, are written in the Treatise of the Prophet Iddo.
亚比雅其余的事和他的言行都写在先知易多的传上。
