2 Chronicles 13
1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
I Kong Jeroboams attende Regeringsaar blev Abija Konge over Juda.
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
Tre Aar herskede han i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Mikaja og var Datter af Uriel fra Gibea. Abija og Jeroboam laa i Krig med hinanden.
3 And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour.
Abija aabnede Krigen med en krigsdygtig Hær, 400 000 udsøgte Mænd, og Jeroboam mødte ham med 800 000 udsøgte Mænd, dygtige Krigere,
4 And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel;
Da stillede Abija sig paa Bjerget Zemarajim, der hører til Efraims Bjerge, og sagde: »Hør mig, Jeroboam og hele Israel!
5 Ought ye not to know that YHWH Elohim of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
Burde I ikke vide, at HERREN, Israels Gud, har givet David og hans Efterkommere Kongemagten over Israel til evig Tid ved en Saltpagt?
6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his master.
Men Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, Davids Søn Salomos Træl, rejste sig og gjorde Oprør mod sin Herre,
7 And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them.
og daarlige Folk, Niddinger, samlede sig om ham og bød Rehabeam, Salomos Søn, Trods; og Rehabeam var ung og veg og kunde ikke hævde sig over for dem.
8 And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of YHWH in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for elohim.
Og nu mener I at kunne hævde eder over for HERRENS Kongedømme i Davids Efterkommeres Haand, fordi I er en stor Hob og paa eders Side har de Guldkalve, Jeroboam lod lave eder til Guder!
9 Have ye not cast out the priests of YHWH, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no elohim.
Har I ikke drevet HERRENS Præster, Arons Sønner, og Leviterne bort og skaffet eder Præster paa samme Maade som Hedningefolkene? Enhver, der kommer med en ung Tyr og syv Vædre for at indsættes, bliver Præst for Guder, der ikke er Guder!
10 But as for us, YHWH is our Elohim, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto YHWH, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business:
Men vor Gud er HERREN, og vi har ikke forladt ham; de Præster, der tjener HERREN, er Arons Sønner og Leviterne udfører den øvrige Tjeneste;
11 And they burn unto YHWH every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread 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 YHWH our Elohim; but ye have forsaken him.
de antænder hver Morgen og Aften Brændofre til HERREN og vellugtende Røgelse, lægger Skuebrødene til Rette paa Guldbordet og tænder Guldlysestagen og dens Lamper Aften efter Aften, thi vi holder HERREN vor Guds Forskrifter, men I har forladt ham!
12 And, behold, Elohim himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against YHWH Elohim of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.
Se, med os, i Spidsen for os er Gud og hans Præster og Alarmtrompeterne, med hvilke der skal blæses til Kamp imod eder! Israeliter, indlad eder ikke i Kamp med HERREN, eders Fædres Gud, thi I faar ikke Lykken med eder!«
13 But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.
Jeroboam lod imidlertid Bagholdet gøre en omgaaende Bevægelse for at komme i Ryggen paa dem, og saaledes havde Judæerne Hæren foran sig og Bagholdet i Ryggen.
14 And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto YHWH, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
Da Judæerne vendte sig om og saa, at Angreb truede dem baade forfra og bagfra, raabte de til HERREN, medens Præsterne blæste i Trompeterne.
15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that Elohim smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
Saa udstødte Judæerne Krigsskriget, og da Judæerne udstødte Krigsskriget, slog Gud Jeroboam og hele Israel foran Abija og Juda.
16 And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and Elohim delivered them into their hand.
Israeliterne flygtede for Judæerne, og Gud gav dem i deres Haand;
17 And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
og Abija og hans Folk tilføjede dem et stort Nederlag, saa der af Israeliterne faldt 500 000 udsøgte Krigere.
18 Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon YHWH Elohim of their fathers.
Saaledes ydmygedes Israeliterne den Gang, men Judæerne styrkedes, fordi de støttede sig til HERREN, deres Fædres Gud.
19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshnah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof.
Og Abija forfulgte Jeroboam og fratog ham flere Byer, Betel med Smaabyer, Jesjana med Smaabyer og Efrajin med Smaabyer.
20 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and YHWH struck him, and he died.
Jeroboam kom ikke til Kræfter mere, saa længe Abija levede; og HERREN slog ham, saa han døde.
21 But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.
Men Abijas Magt voksede. Han ægtede fjorten Hustruer og avlede to og tyve Sønner og seksten Døtre.
22 And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Abija, hans Færd og Ord, staar jo optegnet i Profeten Iddos Udlægning.
