< 2 Chronicles 13 >
1 In year eight-teen of the king Jeroboam and he became king Abijah over Judah.
Mwaka wa ikũmi na ĩnana wa ũthamaki wa Jeroboamu nĩguo Abija aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Juda,
2 Three years he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Micaiah [the] daughter of Uriel from Gibeah and war it was between Abijah and between Jeroboam.
na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ĩtatũ. Nyina eetagwo Maaka mwarĩ wa Urieli wa Gibea. Nĩ kwarĩ mbaara gatagatĩ ka Abija na Jeroboamu.
3 And he bound Abijah the battle with an army of mighty [men] of war four hundred thousand man chosen. And Jeroboam he drew up in formation with him battle with eight hundred thousand man chosen mighty of strength.
Abija aathiire mbaara-inĩ arĩ na mbũtũ ya thigari irĩ ũhoti 400,000, nake Jeroboamu akĩara mbũtũ yake ya thigari irĩ ũhoti 800,000.
4 And he stood Abijah on [the] mountain of Zemaraim which [is] in [the] hill country of Ephraim and he said listen to me O Jeroboam and all Israel.
Abija akĩrũgama igũrũ rĩa Kĩrĩma kĩa Zemaraimu, bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa wa irĩma wa Efiraimu, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jeroboamu na Isiraeli inyuothe, ta thikĩrĩriai!
5 ¿ Not [belong] to you [does] to know that Yahweh - [the] God of Israel he has given kingship to David over Israel for ever to him and to descendants his a covenant of salt.
Kaĩ mũtooĩ atĩ Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, nĩaheanĩte ũthamaki wa Isiraeli moko-inĩ ma Daudi na njiaro ciake nginya tene na ũndũ wa kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa cumbĩ?
6 And he arose Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat [the] servant of Solomon [the] son of David and he rebelled on master his.
No rĩrĩ, Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati, ũmwe wa anene a Solomoni mũrũ wa Daudi, nĩaremeire mwathi wake.
7 And they gathered to him men empty sons of worthlessness and they proved themselves strong over Rehoboam [the] son of Solomon and Rehoboam he was a young man and weak of heart and not he showed himself strong before them.
Imũndũ imwe cia tũhũ nĩcionganire hamwe nake, na makĩregana na Rehoboamu mũrũ wa Solomoni rĩrĩa aarĩ mwĩthĩ na ataahotaga gũtua itua, na ndaarĩ na hinya wa kũmeetiiria.
8 And now - you [are] saying to show yourselves strong before [the] kingdom of Yahweh in [the] hand of [the] descendants of David and you [are] a multitude great and [are] with you calves of gold which he made for you Jeroboam to gods.
“Na rĩrĩ, mwĩciirĩtie ũrĩa mũkũregana na ũthamaki wa Jehova, ũrĩa ũrĩ moko-inĩ ma njiaro cia Daudi. Ti-itherũ mũrĩ mbũtũ nene ya ita, na mũrĩ na njaũ cia thahabu iria ciathondekirwo nĩ Jeroboamu ituĩke ngai cianyu.
9 ¿ Not have you driven out [the] priests of Yahweh [the] descendants of Aaron and the Levites and you have appointed for yourselves priests like [the] peoples of the lands every [one who] comes to fill own hand his with a young bull a young one of cattle and rams seven and he will become a priest to not gods.
No githĩ mũtiaingatire athĩnjĩri-Ngai a Jehova, arĩa maarĩ ariũ a Harũni, na Alawii, na mũgĩĩthuurĩra athĩnjĩri-ngai anyu kĩũmbe o ta ũrĩa andũ a mabũrũri marĩa mangĩ mekaga? Ũrĩa wothe ũũkaga kwĩyamũra na gategwa na ndũrũme mũgwanja atuĩkaga mũthĩnjĩri-ngai wa indo itarĩ ngai.
10 And we Yahweh [is] God our and not we have forsaken him and [we are] priests serving Yahweh [the] descendants of Aaron and the Levites [are] in the work.
“No ithuĩ-rĩ, Jehova nĩwe Ngai witũ, na tũtimũtiganĩirie. Athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa matungataga Jehova nĩ ariũ a Harũni, na mateithagĩrĩrio nĩ Alawii.
11 And [are] making smoke to Yahweh burnt offerings in the morning in the morning and in the evening in the evening and incense of perfume and [the] row of bread on the table clean and [the] lampstand of gold and lamps its to burn in the evening in the evening for [are] keeping we [the] duty of Yahweh God our and you you have forsaken him.
O rũciinĩ na hwaĩ-inĩ nĩmarutagĩra Jehova maruta ma njino na ũbumba ũrĩa ũnungaga wega. Nĩmaigagĩrĩra mĩgate metha-inĩ ĩrĩa theru, na makagwatia matawa marĩa maigĩrĩirwo mũtĩ-inĩ wa thahabu wamo o hwaĩ-inĩ. Ithuĩ nĩtũrũmĩtie maũndũ marĩa Jehova Ngai witũ endaga. No inyuĩ nĩmũmũtiganĩirie.
12 And here! [is] with us at the head God - and priests his and [the] trumpets of the alarm to sound [the] battle signal on you O people of Israel may not you do battle with Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your for not you will succeed.
Ngai arĩ hamwe na ithuĩ; we nĩwe mũtongoria witũ. Athĩnjĩri-Ngai ake na tũrumbeta twao nĩo marĩgambia mũgambo wa mbaara ya kũmũũkĩrĩra inyuĩ. Andũ a Isiraeli, tigai kũrũa na Jehova, Ngai wa maithe manyu, nĩgũkorwo mũtingĩhootana.”
13 And Jeroboam he had caused to go round the ambush to come from behind them and they were to front of Judah and the ambush [was] from behind them.
No rĩrĩ, Jeroboamu nĩatũmĩte ikundi cia thigari thuutha wao, nĩgeetha amatharĩkĩre arĩ na mbere ya Juda nao arĩa maamoheirie marĩ thuutha wao.
14 And they turned Judah and there! [was] to them the battle before and behind and they cried out to Yahweh and the priests ([were] blowing a trumpet *Q(k)*) on trumpets.
Juda nĩmehũgũrire na makĩona atĩ nĩmatharĩkĩirwo kuuma na mbere na kuuma na thuutha. Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova. Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩhuha tũrumbeta twao,
15 And they sounded [the] battle signal [the] man of Judah and it was when sounded [the] battle signal [the] man of Judah and God he defeated Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
nao andũ a Juda makiugĩrĩria na mũgambo wa mbaara. Hĩndĩ ĩyo maanagĩrĩra na mũgambo wa mbaara, Ngai akĩharagania Jeroboamu na Isiraeli rĩothe mbere ya Abija na andũ a Juda.
16 And they fled [the] people of Israel from before Judah and he gave them God in hand their.
Andũ a Isiraeli makĩũrĩra andũ a Juda, nake Ngai akĩmaneana moko-inĩ mao.
17 And they struck down among them Abijah and people his a striking great and they fell slain of Israel five hundred thousand man chosen.
Abija na andũ ake makĩmahũũra mbaara nene, nginya andũ a Isiraeli 500,000 arĩa maarĩ ũhoti makĩũragwo.
18 And they were humbled [the] people of Israel at the time that and they were strong [the] people of Judah for they depended on Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their.
Andũ a Isiraeli magĩtoorio mbaara-inĩ ĩyo; nao andũ a Juda magĩtuĩka atooria tondũ nĩmehokire Jehova, Ngai wa maithe mao.
19 And he pursued Abijah after Jeroboam and he captured from him cities Beth-el and daughters its and Jeshanah and daughters its and (Ephrayin *Q(K)*) and daughters its.
Nake Abija akĩingatithia Jeroboamu na akĩmũtaha matũũra ma Betheli, na Jeshana, na Efuroni hamwe na tũtũũra tũrĩa twamathiũrũrũkĩirie.
20 And not he retained [the] strength of Jeroboam again in [the] days of Abijah and he struck him Yahweh and he died.
Jeroboamu ndaigana gũcooka kũgĩa na hinya rĩngĩ matukũ-inĩ ma Abija. Nake Jehova agĩkĩmũgũtha igũtha agĩkua.
21 And he strengthened himself Abijah and he took for himself wives four-teen and he fathered twenty and two sons and six-teen daughters.
No Abija agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũgĩa na hinya. Akĩhikia atumia 14, na akĩgĩa na aanake 22 na airĩtu 16.
22 And [the] rest of [the] matters of Abijah and ways his and words his [are] written in [the] record of the prophet Iddo.
Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Abija, marĩa eekire na ũrĩa oigire-rĩ, nĩmandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa ũtaũranĩri rĩa mũnabii Ido.
