2 Chronicles 13
1 In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abia reigned over Juda.
Sa ika-labingwalong taon ni Haring Jeroboam, nagsimulang maghari si Abias sa Judah.
2 Three years he reigned in Jerusalem, and his mother’s name was Michaia, the daughter of Uriel of Gabaa: and there was war between Abia and Jeroboam.
Naghari siya ng tatlong taon sa Jerusalem. Ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Maacah na anak ni Uriel na taga-Gibea. Nagkaroon ng digmaan sa pagitan ni Abias at Jeroboam.
3 And when Abia had begun battle, and had with him four hundred thousand most valiant and chosen men, Jeroboam put his army in array against him, eight hundred thousand men, who were also chosen and most valiant for war.
Nagtungo si Abias sa digmaan dala ang malakas na hukbo, magigiting na mga kawal at 400, 000 na piniling mga kalalakihan. Humanay naman si Jeroboam laban sa kaniya ng 800, 000 na piling mga kalalakihan, malalakas at magigiting na mga kawal.
4 And Abia stood upon mount Semeron, which was in Ephraim, and said: Hear me, O Jeroboam, and all Israel:
Tumayo si Abias sa Bundok ng Zemaraim, sa may lupaing maburol ng Efraim at nagsabi, “Makinig ka sa akin Jeroboam at lahat ng Israel!
5 Do you not know that the Lord God of Israel gave to David the kingdom over Israel for ever, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
Hindi ba ninyo alam na si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel, ang nagbigay kay David ng pamumuno sa buong Israel magpakailanman, sa kaniya at sa kaniyang mga anak sa pamamagitan ng isang kasunduan?
6 And Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up: and rebelled against his lord.
Ngunit si Jeroboam na anak na lalaki ni Nebat, ang lingkod ni Solomon na anak ni David ay nakipaglaban at naghimagsik sa kaniyang panginoon.
7 And there were gathered to him vain men, and children of Belial: and they prevailed against Roboam the son of Solomon: for Roboam was unexperienced, and of a fearful heart, and could not resist them.
Mga walang kabuluhang lalaki na mga hamak na tao ang nakipagtipon sa kaniya. Dumating sila laban kay Rehoboam na anak ni Solomon, nang bata pa si Rehoboam at walang pang karanasan at hindi sila kayang tapatan.
8 And now you say that you are able to withstand the kingdom of the Lord, which he possesseth by the sons of David, and you have a great multitude of people, and golden calves, which Jeroboam hath made you for gods.
Ngayon ay sinasabi ninyo na kaya ninyong labanan ang makapangyarihang pamumuno ni Yahweh sa kamay ng mga kaapu-apuhan ni David. Kayo ay isang malaking hukbo at kasama ninyo ang mga ginintuang guya na ginawa ni Jeroboam bilang mga diyos ninyo.
9 And you have cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites: and you have made you priests, like all the nations of the earth: whosoever cometh and consecrateth his hand with a bullock of the herd, and with seven rams, is made a priest of those who are no gods.
Hindi ba't pinaalis ninyo ang mga pari ni Yahweh na mga anak ni Aaron at ang mga Levita? Hindi ba gumawa kayo ng mga pari para sa inyong sarili ayon sa pamamaraan ng ibang lahi ng ibang lupain? Ang sinumang dumarating upang italaga ang kaniyang sarili sa pamamagitan ng isang batang toro at pitong lalaking tupa ay maaaring maging isang pari sa mga hindi tunay na diyos.
10 But the Lord is our God, whom we forsake not, and the priests who minister to the Lord are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites are in their order.
Ngunit para sa amin, si Yahweh ang aming Diyos at hindi namin siya tinalikuran. Mayroon kaming mga pari na mga anak ni Aaron na naglilingkod kay Yahweh at ang mga Levita na nasa kanilang mga gawain.
11 And they offer holocausts to the Lord, every day, morning and evening, and incense made according to the ordinance of the law, and the leaves are set forth on a most clean table, and there is with us the golden candlestick, and the lamps thereof, to be lighted always in the evening: for we keep the precepts of the Lord our God, whom you have forsaken.
Nagsusunog sila sa bawat umaga at gabi ng mga alay na susunugin at mga mababangong insenso para kay Yahweh. Sila rin ay naghahanda ng tinapay na handog sa ibabaw ng dinalisay na hapag. Sinisindihan rin nila ang ilawang gintong patungan upang ang mga ito ay magliwanag sa bawat gabi. Sinusunod namin ang mga kautusan ni Yahweh na aming Diyos, ngunit tinalikuran ninyo siya.
12 Therefore God is the leader in our army, and his priests who sound with trumpets, and resound against you: O children of Israel, fight not against the Lord the God of your fathers, for it is not good for you.
Tingnan ninyo, kasama namin ang Diyos na siyang namumuno at ang kaniyang mga pari ay narito dala ang mga trumpeta upang magpatunog ng babala laban sa inyo. Bayang Israel, huwag ninyong labanan si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng inyong mga ninuno, sapagkat hindi kayo magtatagumpay.”
13 While he spoke these things, Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind him. And while he stood facing the enemies, he encompassed Juda. who perceived it not, with his army.
Ngunit naghanda si Jeroboam ng isang lihim na pagsalakay sa kanilang likuran. Ang kaniyang hukbo ay nasa harapan ng Juda at ang lihim na pagsalakay ay nasa kanilang likuran.
14 And when Juda looked back, they saw the battle coming upon them both before and behind, and they cried to the Lord: and the priests began to sound with the trumpets.
Nang lumingon sa likuran ang mga taga-Juda, nakita nila na ang labanan ay parehong nasa kanilang harapan at likuran. Sumigaw sila ng malakas kay Yahweh at hinipan ng mga pari ang mga trumpeta.
15 And all the men of Juda shouted: and behold when they shouted, God terrified Jeroboam, and all Israel that stood against Abia and Juda.
At sumigaw ang mga kalalakihan ng Juda at habang sumisigaw sila, nangyari nga na hinampas ng Diyos si Jeroboam at ang lahat ng Israel sa harapan ni Abias at ng taga-Juda.
16 And the children of Israel fled before Juda, and the Lord delivered them into their hand.
Tumakas ang mga Israelita mula sa Juda at ipinasakamay sila ng Diyos sa mga taga-Juda.
17 And Abia and his people slew them with a great slaughter, and there fell wounded of Israel five hundred thousand valiant men.
Pinatay sila ni Abias at ng kaniyang hukbo; 500, 000 na piling lalaki ng Israel ang namatay.
18 And the children of Israel were brought down, at that time, and the children of Juda were exceedingly strengthened, because they had trusted in the Lord the God of their fathers.
Sa ganitong paraan, natalo ang Israel nang panahong iyon. Nagtagumpay ang mga taga-Juda dahil umasa sila kay Yahweh, ang Diyos ng kanilang mga ninuno.
19 And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel and her daughters, and Jesana with her daughters, Ephron also and her daughters.
Tinugis ni Abias si Jeroboam at sinakop niya ang mga lungsod mula sa kaniya, ang Bethel, Jesana at Efron, kasama ang mga nayon ng mga ito.
20 And Jeroboam was not able to resist any more, in the days of Abia: and the Lord struck him, and he died.
Hindi na nabawi ni Jeroboam ang kapangyarihan sa panahon ng paghahari ni Abias, hinampas siya ni Yahweh at namatay siya.
21 But Abia, being strengthened in his kingdom, took fourteen wives: and begot two and twenty sons, and sixteen daughters.
Subalit naging makapangyarihan si Abias, nagkaroon siya ng labing-apat na asawa at naging ama ng dalawampu't dalawang anak na lalaki at labing-anim na anak na babae.
22 And the rest of the acts of Abia, and of his ways and works, are written diligently in the book of Addo the prophet.
Ang iba pang ginawa at sinabi ni Abias ay naisulat sa kasaysayan ni proteta Iddo.
