2 Chronicles 13
1 In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
Abija malitere ịbụ eze Juda, nʼafọ iri na asatọ nke ọchịchị eze Jeroboam.
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
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 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 valor.
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 Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, "Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel:
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 YHWH, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, even to him and to his descendants by a covenant 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 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.
Ma Jeroboam, nwa Nebat, bụ onye ọrụ Solomọn nwa Devid, nupuru isi megide onyenwe ya.
7 There were gathered to him worthless men, base fellows, who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand 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 you think to withstand the kingdom of YHWH in the hand of the descendants of David; and you are a great multitude, and there are with you the golden calves which Jeroboam 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 Haven't you driven out the priests of YHWH, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves after the ways of the peoples of other lands? so that whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams, the same may be a priest of those who 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 as for us, YHWH is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and we have priests ministering to YHWH, the descendants of Aaron, and the Levites in their work:
“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 burn to YHWH every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. They also set the show bread in order on the pure table; and the lampstand of gold with its lamps, to burn every evening: for we keep the instruction of YHWH our God; but you have 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 Look, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. Children of Israel, do not fight against YHWH, the God of your fathers; for you 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 Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind 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 When Judah looked back, look, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to YHWH, and the priests sounded 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 Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it happened, that God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
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 The children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand.
Ndị agha Izrel gbara ọsọ nʼihu ndị Juda, Chineke nyefere ha nʼaka ndị Juda.
17 Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
Abija na ndị agha ya gburu narị puku ndị Izrel ise nʼụbọchị ahụ.
18 Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the people of Judah prevailed, because they relied on YHWH, the 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 Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with its towns, and Jeshanah with its towns, and Ephron with its towns.
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 Jeroboam did not recover strength again in the days of Abijah. YHWH struck him, and he died.
Jeroboam enwetakwaghị ike ya ọzọ oge niile Abija nọ dịka eze. Ma ọ dịghị anya Onyenwe anyị tidara ya tigbuo ya.
21 But Abijah grew mighty, and took to himself fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons, and sixteen 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 acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
Akụkọ niile banyere ọchịchị Abija, ihe o mere na ihe o kwuru, dị nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ nke Ido onye amụma dere.
