2 Chronicles 13
1 In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
Nan di-zuityèm ane Wa Jéroboam nan, Abijah te devni wa sou Juda.
2 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
Li te renye pandan twazan Jérusalem. Non manman l te Micaja, fi a Uriel la nan Guibea. Alò, te gen lagè antre Abija avèk Jéroboam.
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 valour.
Abija te ouvri batay la avèk yon lame gèrye vanyan, kat-san-mil mesye byen chwazi, pandan Jéroboam t ap fè fòmasyon batay la kont li avèk ui-san-mil mesye byen chwazi, gèrye vanyan.
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;
Abija te kanpe sou Mòn Tsemaraïm ki nan peyi ti mòn Éphraïm yo, e li te di: “Koute mwen, O Jéroboam avèk tout Israël:
5 ought ye not to know that the LORD, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
Èske ou pa konnen ke SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, te bay pouvwa sou Israël jis pou tout tan a David avèk fis li yo pa yon sèl akò?
6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.
Men Jéroboam, fis a Nebath la, sèvitè a Salomon an, fis a David la, te leve e te fè rebèl kont mèt li a.
7 And there were gathered unto him vain men, base fellows that strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and faint-hearted, and could not withstand them.
Yon bann sanzave te rasanble vè li menm, vagabon yo, yon eprèv ki te twò fò pou Roboam, fis a Salomon an, lè li te trè jèn, timid e li pa t ka kenbe plas pa l kont yo.
8 And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD 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.
“Epi koulye a, ou gen entansyon fè rezistans kont wayòm SENYÈ a pa fis a David yo. Se yon gran foul nou ye, e nou gen avèk nou jenn bèf an lò ke Jéroboam te fè kòm dye pou nou.
9 Have ye not driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the peoples of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same becometh a priest of them that are no gods.
Èske nou pa t chase mete deyò prèt SENYÈ yo, fis a Aaron yo avèk Levit yo, e te fè pou kont nou prèt tankou pèp lòt peyi yo? Nenpòt moun ki vini konsakre li menm avèk yon jenn towo ak sèt belye, menm li menm kapab devni yon prèt a sila ki pa dye yo.
10 But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; and we have priests ministering unto the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work;
“Men pou nou, SENYÈ a se Bondye pa nou an e nou pa t abandone Li. Fis Aaron yo ap fè sèvis a SENYÈ a kòm prèt e se Levit yo ki fè travay a yo menm.
11 and they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt-offerings and sweet incense; the showbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening; for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken Him.
Chak maten e chak swa, yo brile bay SENYÈ a ofrann brile avèk lansan santi bon, pen konsakre ki sou tab pwòp, e chandelye a avèk lanp li yo pou limen chak swa; paske nou kenbe chaj a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, men ou te abandone Li.
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 children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD, the God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.'
Koulye a, veye byen, Bondye avèk nou sou tèt nou, e prèt Li yo avèk twonpèt siyal pou sonnen alam kont nou. O fis Israël yo, pa goumen kont SENYÈ a zansèt nou yo, paske nou p ap reyisi.”
13 But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them; so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.
Men Jéroboam te fè yon anbiskad pou vini pa dèyè, pou Israël ta devan Juda e anbiskad la pa dèyè yo.
14 And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
Lè Juda te vire, alò yo te atake ni devan ni dèyè; pou sa, yo te kriye a SENYÈ a e prèt yo te soufle twonpèt yo.
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.
Konsa mesye Juda te fè leve kri lagè a, e nan moman sa a, Bondye te boulvèse Jéroboam avèk tout Israël devan Abija avèk Juda.
16 And the children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand.
Lè fis Israël yo te fin sove ale devan Juda, Bondye te livre yo nan men yo.
17 And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter; so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
Abija avèk pèp li a te detwi yo avèk yon gwo masak, jiskaske senk-san-mil mesye Israël te tonbe mouri.
18 Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD, the God of their fathers.
Konsa, fis Israël yo te soumèt nan tan sa a, e fis Juda yo te pran viktwa a akoz yo te depan de SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt pa yo a.
19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof.
Abija te kouri dèyè Jéroboam e te kaptire plizyè vil nan men li: Béthel avèk bouk pa li yo, Jeschana avèk bouk pa li yo, e Éphron avèk bouk pa li yo.
20 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah; and the LORD smote him, and he died.
Jéroboam pa t ankò reprann fòs li nan jou a Abija yo. SENYÈ a te frape li e li te vin mouri.
21 But Abijah waxed mighty, and took unto himself fourteen wives, and begot twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.
Men Abija te vin fò. Li te pran katòz madanm pou kont li, e li te devni papa a venn-de fis ak sèz fi.
22 And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
Alò, tout lòt zèv Abija yo, avèk chemen pa li yo ekri nan memwa a pwofèt la, Iddo.
