2 Chronicles 13
1 In the eyghteenth yeere of King Ieroboam began Abiiah to reigne ouer Iudah.
Abija malitere ịbụ eze Juda, nʼafọ iri na asatọ nke ọchịchị eze Jeroboam.
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.
Ọ chịrị afọ atọ na Jerusalem. Aha nne ya bụ Maaka, otu nʼime ụmụ nwanyị Uriel, onye Gibea. Agha dịgidere nʼetiti Abija na Jeroboam.
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.
Abija họpụtara ndị ya dị ike nʼagha bụ ndị ọnụọgụgụ ha dị narị puku anọ, ma Jeroboam eze Izrel họpụtara ndị agha ọnụọgụgụ ha dị narị puku asatọ doo ha nʼusoro.
4 And Abiiah stood vp vpon mount Zemeraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and sayde, O Ieroboam, and all Israel, heare you me,
Abija guzoro nʼugwu Zemaraim nʼala ugwu ugwu Ifrem jiri oke olu sị “Jeroboam na ndị Izrel niile geenụ m ntị!
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?
Unu amataghị na Onyenwe anyị Chineke nke Izrel esitela nʼọgbụgba ndụ nnu nyefee ọchịchị ala Izrel niile nʼaka Devid na ụmụ ụmụ ya ruo ebighị ebi?
6 And Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat the seruant of Salomon the sonne of Dauid is risen vp, and hath rebelled against his lord:
Ma Jeroboam, nwa Nebat, bụ onye ọrụ Solomọn nwa Devid, nupuru isi megide onyenwe ya.
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.
Ndị efu niile na-abaghị uru chịkọtara onwe ha gbaa ya gburugburu guzogide Rehoboam nwa Solomọn, mgbe ọ bụ nwantakịrị na onye na-enweghị ike inwe mkpebi, onye nʼadịghịkwa ike iguzogide ha.
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.
“Ma ugbu a, unu ejikerela imegide alaeze Onyenwe anyị nke dị nʼaka ụmụ ụmụ Devid. Nʼezie, unu bu igwe ndị agha bara ụba, nʼetiti unu ka ụmụ ehi ọlaedo ahụ dịkwa, bụ nke Jeroboam mere ka ha buru chi unu.
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.
Ma unu achụpụghị ndị nchụaja Onyenwe anyị, bụ ụmụ Erọn, chụpụkwa ndị Livayị ma meere onwe unu ndị nchụaja dịka ndị mba ọzọ na-eme? Onye ọbụla ji nwa oke ehi na ebule asaa bịa ido onwe ya nsọ na-aghọrọ unu onye nchụaja nye ihe ndị ahụ na-abụghị chi.
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.
“Ma banyere anyị, Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị, anyị ahapụbeghị ya. Ndị nchụaja na-ejere Onyenwe anyị ozi bụ ụmụ Erọn, ndị Livayị bụkwa ndị na-enyere ha aka.
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.
Ha na-achụ aja nye Onyenwe anyị kwa ụtụtụ na anyasị niile, na-esurekwa ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ; ma na-edobekwa achịcha edoro nsọ nʼelu tebul ahụ dị ọcha. Ha na-amụnyekwa ọkụ nʼiheọkụ ndị ahụ dị nʼelu ihe ịdọba oriọna ọlaedo kwa abalị niile. Nʼihi na anyị onwe anyị na-edebe iwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị; ma unu onwe unu ahapụla ya, gbakụta ya azụ.
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.
Chineke nọnyeere anyị. Ọ bụkwa onyendu anyị. Ndị nchụaja ya ga-eji ịfụ opi ike tie mkpu agha megide unu. Unu ndị Izrel, unu alụsokwala Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke nna unu ha ọgụ nʼihi na mmeri agaghị abụ nke unu!”
13 But Ieroboam caused an ambushment to compasse, and come behind them, when they were before Iudah, and the ambushment behinde them.
Ma Jeroboam ezipụlarị ụfọdụ ndị agha ya ka ha ga ndị agha Juda nʼazụ. Mgbe Jeroboam nọ nʼihu ndị Juda, ụfọdụ ndị agha ya nọkwa ndị Juda nʼazụ.
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,
Mgbe ndị agha Juda tụgharịrị hụ na agha dị ha nʼihu dịkwa nʼazụ, ha tikuru Onyenwe anyị mkpu nzọpụta, ndị nchụaja fụkwara opi ike ha.
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.
Ndị Juda tiri oke mkpu agha. Mgbe ha na-eti mkpu a, Chineke mere ka Abija na ndị Juda merie Jeroboam na ndị Izrel.
16 And the children of Israel fledde before Iudah, and God deliuered them into their hande.
Ndị agha Izrel gbara ọsọ nʼihu ndị Juda, Chineke nyefere ha nʼaka ndị Juda.
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.
Abija na ndị agha ya gburu narị puku ndị Izrel ise nʼụbọchị ahụ.
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.
Ya mere, ntụkwasị obi nke Juda nwere nʼime Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna ha mere ka ha merie Jeroboam na ndị Izrel.
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.
Abija chụkwara Jeroboam na ndị agha ya ọsọ dọta obodo ndị a nʼagha: Betel, na Jeshana, na Efrọn, na obodo niile gbara ha gburugburu.
20 And Ieroboam recouered no strength againe in the dayes of Abiiah, but the Lord plagued him, and he dyed.
Jeroboam enwetakwaghị ike ya ọzọ oge niile Abija nọ dịka eze. Ma ọ dịghị anya Onyenwe anyị tidara ya tigbuo ya.
21 So Abiiah waxed mightie, and marryed foureteene wiues, and begate two and twentie sonnes, and sixteene daughters.
Ma Abija gara nʼihu bụrụ onye dị ike, ọ lụrụ nwunye iri na anọ, mụọ iri ụmụ nwoke abụọ na abụọ, na ụmụ ndị nwanyị iri na isii.
22 The rest of the actes of Abiiah and his maners and his sayings are written in the storie of the Prophet Iddo.
Akụkọ niile banyere ọchịchị Abija, ihe o mere na ihe o kwuru, dị nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ nke Ido onye amụma dere.
