2 Chronicles 13
1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
耶罗波安王十八年，亚比雅登基作犹大王，
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.
在耶路撒冷作王三年。他母亲名叫米该亚，是基比亚人乌列的女儿。 亚比雅常与耶罗波安争战。
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.
有一次亚比雅率领挑选的兵四十万摆阵，都是勇敢的战士；耶罗波安也挑选大能的勇士八十万，对亚比雅摆阵。
4 And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, you Jeroboam, and all Israel;
亚比雅站在以法莲山地中的洗玛脸山上，说：“耶罗波安和以色列众人哪，要听我说！
5 Ought all of you not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
耶和华—以色列的 神曾立盐约，将以色列国永远赐给大卫和他的子孙，你们不知道吗？
6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, has risen up, and has rebelled against his lord.
无奈大卫儿子所罗门的臣仆、尼八儿子耶罗波安起来背叛他的主人。
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.
有些无赖的匪徒聚集跟从他，逞强攻击所罗门的儿子罗波安；那时罗波安还幼弱，不能抵挡他们。
8 And now all of you think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and all of you be a great multitude, and there are with your golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.
“现在你们有意抗拒大卫子孙手下所治耶和华的国，你们的人也甚多，你们那里又有耶罗波安为你们所造当作神的金牛犊。
9 Have all of you not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods.
你们不是驱逐耶和华的祭司亚伦的后裔和利未人吗？不是照着外邦人的恶俗为自己立祭司吗？无论何人牵一只公牛犊、七只公绵羊将自己分别出来，就可作虚无之神的祭司。
10 But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business:
至于我们，耶和华是我们的 神，我们并没有离弃他。我们有事奉耶和华的祭司，都是亚伦的后裔，并有利未人各尽其职，
11 And they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices 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 all of you have forsaken him.
每日早晚向耶和华献燔祭，烧美香，又在精金的桌子上摆陈设饼；又有金灯台和灯盏，每晚点起，因为我们遵守耶和华—我们 神的命；惟有你们离弃了他。
12 And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight all of you not against the LORD God of your fathers; for all of you shall not prosper.
率领我们的是 神，我们这里也有 神的祭司拿号向你们吹出大声。以色列人哪，不要与耶和华—你们列祖的 神争战，因你们必不能亨通。”
13 But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.
耶罗波安却在犹大人的后头设伏兵。这样，以色列人在犹大人的前头，伏兵在犹大人的后头。
14 And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
犹大人回头观看，见前后都有敌兵，就呼求耶和华，祭司也吹号。
15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God stroke Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
于是犹大人呐喊；犹大人呐喊的时候， 神就使耶罗波安和以色列众人败在亚比雅与犹大人面前。
16 And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand.
以色列人在犹大人面前逃跑， 神将他们交在犹大人手里。
17 And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
亚比雅和他的军兵大大杀戮以色列人，以色列人仆倒死亡的精兵有五十万。
18 Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers.
那时，以色列人被制伏了，犹大人得胜，是因倚靠耶和华—他们列祖的 神。
19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephraim with the towns thereof.
亚比雅追赶耶罗波安，攻取了他的几座城，就是伯特利和属伯特利的镇市，耶沙拿和属耶沙拿的镇市，以法拉音和属以法拉音的镇市。
20 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died.
亚比雅在世的时候，耶罗波安不能再强盛；耶和华攻击他，他就死了。
21 But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and brings forth twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.
亚比雅却渐渐强盛，娶妻妾十四个，生了二十二个儿子，十六个女儿。
22 And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.
亚比雅其余的事和他的言行都写在先知易多的传上。
