2 Chronicles 13

1 In the eyghteenth yeere of King Ieroboam began Abiiah to reigne ouer Iudah.

Abiya zu fia le Yuda le Fia Yeroboam ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuienyilia me.

2 He reigned three yere in Ierusalem: (his mothers name also was Michaiah the daughter of Vriel of Gibea) and there was warre betweene Abiiah and Ieroboam.

Eɖu fia ƒe etɔ̃ le Yerusalem. Dadae nye Mikaya si nye Uriel tso Gibea ƒe vinyɔnu. Azɔ la, aʋa nɔ Abiya kple Yeroboam dome.

3 And Abiiah set the battel in aray with the armie of valiant men of warre, euen foure hundreth thousand chosen men. Ieroboam also set the battell in aray against him with eight hundreth thousande chosen men which were strong and valiant.

Abiya yi aʋa la me kple aʋawɔla sesẽ akpe alafa ene eye Yeroboam hã va kpe aʋa kplii kple asrafoha sesẽ ame akpe alafa enyi.

4 And Abiiah stood vp vpon mount Zemeraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and sayde, O Ieroboam, and all Israel, heare you me,

Esime Israel ƒe aʋakɔ la va ɖo Zemaraim to la gbɔ, le Efraim ƒe viwo ƒe anyigba dzi la, Fia Abiya do ɣli gblɔ na Fia Yeroboam kple Israel ƒe aʋakɔ la bena,

5 Ought you not to know that the Lord God of Israel hath giuen the kingdome ouer Israel to Dauid for euer, euen to him and to his sonnes by a couenant of salt?

“Miɖo to! Ɖe mienya bena, Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu, ka atam bena David ƒe dzidzimeviwo anye Israel fiawo tegbetegbee oa?

6 And Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat the seruant of Salomon the sonne of Dauid is risen vp, and hath rebelled against his lord:

Miaƒe fia Yeroboam la, David ƒe vi ƒe subɔla ko wònye eye wònye ame si de eƒe aƒetɔ asi.

7 And there are gathered to him vayne men and wicked, and made themselues strong against Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon: for Rehoboam was but a childe and tender hearted, and coulde not resist them.

Yakamewo ƒe ha gã aɖe dze eyome eye wotsi tsitre ɖe Solomo ƒe vi, Rehoboam, ŋu elabena Rehoboam nye ɖekakpui dzaa aɖe ko, vɔvɔ̃ ɖoe eye mete ŋu nɔ te ɖe wo nu o.

8 Now therefore ye thinke that yee be able to resist against the kingdome of the Lord, which is in the handes of the sonnes of Dauid, and ye bee a great multitude, and the golden calues are with you which Ieroboam made you for gods.

Ɖe miebu be yewoate ŋu aɖu Yehowa ƒe fiaɖuƒe si nu David ƒe dzidzimevi aɖe le la dzia? Miaƒe aʋakɔ lolo zi eve abe tɔnye ene gake sikanyivi siwo Yeroboam wɔ na mi heyɔ wo be miaƒe mawuwo eye wole mia si la zu fiƒode na mi.

9 Haue ye not driuen away the Priestes of the Lord the sonnes of Aaron and the Leuites, and haue made you Priests like the people of other countreis? whosoeuer commeth to consecrate with a yong bullocke and seuen rams, the same may be a Priest of them that are no gods.

Gawu la, mienya Yehowa ƒe nunɔlawo kple Aron ƒe viwo kpakple Levitɔwo eye mietsɔ ame bubuwo ɖo nunɔlawoe ɖe wo teƒe. Mietsɔa ame sia ame si ko nya tsɔ nyitsu fɛ̃ kple agbo adre vɛ la ɖoa nunɔlae abe ale si dukɔ bubu me tɔwo wɔna ene. Ame sia ame ko ate ŋu anye nunɔla na miaƒe mawu siwo menye mawuwo kura o!

10 But wee belong vnto the Lord our God, and haue not forsaken him, and the Priestes the sonnes of Aaron minister vnto the Lord, and the Leuites in their office.

Ke míawo ya la, Yehowae nye míaƒe Mawu eye míegblee ɖi o. Aron ƒe dzidzimeviwo koe nyea míaƒe nunɔlawo eye Levitɔwo koe kpena ɖe wo ŋu le woƒe subɔsubɔdɔwo wɔwɔ me.

11 And they burne vnto the Lord euery morning and euery euening burnt offerings and sweete incense, and the breade is set in order vpon the pure table, and the candlesticke of golde with the lampes thereof, to burne euery euening: for we keepe the watch of the Lord our God: but ye haue forsaken him.

Wosaa numevɔ, doa dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ na Yehowa gbe sia gbe, ŋdi kple fiẽ eye wodaa Ŋkumeɖobolo ɖe kplɔ̃ kɔkɔe la dzi. Wosia sikakaɖigbɛ la zã sia zã elabena míekpɔa egbɔ be míazɔ ɖe Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu ƒe ɖoɖowo nu, ke miawo ya la, miegblẽ Yehowa ɖi

12 And behold, this God is with vs, as a captaine, and his Priests with the sounding trumpets, to crie an alarme against you. O yee children of Israel, fight not against the Lord God of your fathers: for ye shall not prosper.

eya ta, mikpɔe ɖa, Mawu le mía dzi, eyae nye míaƒe Kplɔla. Eƒe nunɔlawo atsɔ kpẽkuku akplɔ mí míaho aʋa ɖe mia ŋu. Oo Israelviwo, migawɔ aʋa kple Yehowa, mia fofowo ƒe Mawu la o elabena miate ŋu aɖu dzi o!”

13 But Ieroboam caused an ambushment to compasse, and come behind them, when they were before Iudah, and the ambushment behinde them.

Azɔ la, Yeroboam ɖo asrafowo ɖe Israel ƒe asrafowo megbe, ale be esime wònɔ Yuda ŋgɔ la, asrafo siwo de xa ɖi la nɔ Yuda megbe.

14 Then Iudah looked, and beholde, the battel was before and behinde them, and they cried vnto the Lord, and the Priests blewe with the trumpets,

Yuda trɔ eye wòkpɔ be woho aʋa ɖe ye ŋu tso ŋgɔgbe kple megbe siaa. Tete wodo ɣli na Yehowa. Nunɔlaawo ku woƒe kpẽwo

15 And the men of Iudah gaue a shoute: and euen as the men of Iudah shouted, God smote Ieroboam and also Israel before Abiiah and Iudah.

eye Yuda ƒe viwo do aʋaɣli. Esi aʋaɣli la ɖi la, Mawu tsrɔ̃ Yeroboam kple Israel blibo la le Abiya kple Yuda ŋkume.

16 And the children of Israel fledde before Iudah, and God deliuered them into their hande.

Israelviwo si le Yuda ŋgɔ eye Mawu tsɔ wo de asi na Yuda ƒe viwo

17 And Abiiah and his people slewe a great slaughter of them, so that there fel downe wounded of Israel fiue hundreth thousand chosen men.

eye Abiya kple eƒe dukɔ la wu Israel ƒe aʋawɔla xɔŋkɔ akpe alafa atɔ̃ gbe ma gbe.

18 So the children of Israel were brought vnder at that time: and the children of Iudah preuailed, because they stayed vpon the Lord God of their fathers.

Woɖu Israelviwo dzi gbe ma gbe. Yuda ƒe viwo ɖu dzi elabena woɖo ŋu ɖe Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu la ŋu.

19 And Abiiah pursued after Ieroboam, and tooke cities from him, euen Beth-el, and the villages thereof, and Ieshanah with her villages, and Ephron with her villages.

Abiya nya Yeroboam ɖe du nu eye wòxɔ du siawo: Betel, Yesana kple Efrɔn kple kɔƒe siwo ƒo xlã wo la le esi.

20 And Ieroboam recouered no strength againe in the dayes of Abiiah, but the Lord plagued him, and he dyed.

Israel fia, Yeroboam megakpɔ ŋusẽ kpɔ le Abiya ƒe agbenɔɣi o eye mlɔeba la, Yehowa ƒoe ƒu anyi, wòku.

21 So Abiiah waxed mightie, and marryed foureteene wiues, and begate two and twentie sonnes, and sixteene daughters.

Yuda fia, Abiya, va kpɔ ŋusẽ gã ŋutɔ. Eɖe srɔ̃ wuiene eye viŋutsu blaeve-vɔ-eve kple vinyɔnu wuiade nɔ esi.

22 The rest of the actes of Abiiah and his maners and his sayings are written in the storie of the Prophet Iddo.

Woŋlɔ eƒe ŋutinya katã la ɖe Nyagblɔɖila Ido ƒe agbalẽ, Yuda ƒe Ŋutinya me.
