2 Chronicles 13
1 When Jeroboam had been ruling [Israel] for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
Israel gamsunga Rehoboam leng chan kal kum somle get lhin kumin, Abijah chun Judah gam sunga vai ahin hom panin ahi.
2 He ruled in Jerusalem for three years. His mother was Micaiah (OR, Maacah), the daughter of Uriel from Gibeah [town]. There was a war between [the armies of] Abijah and Jeroboam.
Aman Jerusalem a kumthum lengvai ahinpon, anu chu Gebiah mi Uriel chanu Maacah ahi. Chuin Abijah le Jeroboam kah’a gal asohdoh tan ahi.
3 Abijah went into the battle, taking 400,000 of his capable soldiers, and Jeroboam prepared to fight them, taking 800,000 of his capable troops.
Judah te lengpa Abijah chun galhang mi sang jali alhengin, akhom tupmin alamkaiyin; alangkhatna Jeroboam chun Israel gamsunga konin sepai sang jaget akhom doh kit’in ahi.
4 Abijah stood on the top of Zemaraim Mountain, which is in the hilly area that belonged to the tribe of Ephraim, and he shouted, “Jeroboam and all you other people of Israel, listen to me!
Judah sepai ho chu Ephraim thinglhang gam ahung lhun phat uchun, Abijah chu Zemorin molchunga adding in Jeroboam le Israel techu asam in, “Neihin ngaipeh temun,
5 You should know that Yahweh, the God to whom all we Israelis belong, has appointed David and his descendants to be the kings of Israel forever. He has confirmed that by making a permanent agreement.
Pakai Israel te Pathen in David toh kitepna asema amale achilhah te Israel laltouna atonsotna dinga apeh chu nagel doh lou’u hitam?”
6 But Jeroboam, who was [only] an official of David’s son King Solomon, rebelled against his king.
Ahivangin David chapa Solomon lhachaa pang mai mai Nabet chapa Jeroboam chun, apupa adouvin ahi.
7 And when Solomon’s son Rehoboam became king and was still young and inexperienced, a group of worthless scoundrels gathered around you, Jeroboam, and rebelled against Rehoboam.
Chujongleh migilou pumpi chun ama ajopmun, Solomon chapa Rehoboam chapangcha le hetna thepna neiloulai chu athu ngailouvin; dingdoh theilou khopmin ana lhauvin ahi.
8 “And now you are planning to fight against the kingdom that Yahweh established to be governed by David’s descendants. It is true that you have a huge army, and you and your soldiers have brought with you the golden [statues of] calves that Jeroboam’s workers made to be gods for all of you.
Chule tun David chihlhah te khutna um Pakai lenggam dou dingin tohgon nasem kit uvin, nanghon sepai tampi leh Jeroboam in na Pathen diuva asem sana Bongnou lim chu nanei maithei’u ahinai.
9 But you expelled the priests that Yahweh [appointed], men who are descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest], and you expelled the descendants of Levi, and you appointed the priests that you wanted, like the people of other countries do. You allow anyone to become a priest of idols that are not gods if he comes to dedicate himself to be a priest by sacrificing a young bull and seven rams.
Hijongleh nanghon Pakai thempu nakilhen’u hilouham? Koi hijongleh bongnou khatle kelngoi sagi toh, hiche alim semthu na pathen hou komma hung kipedoh tapou chu thempua napansah jiu ahi.
10 “As for us, Yahweh is our God, and we have not abandoned him. Our priests who serve Yahweh are descendants of Aaron, and the descendants of Levi assist them.
Keiho dinga vang Pakai chu ka Pathen’u ahi, chule keihon ama chu ka dalha pouve; Pakai lhacha’a pang thempu ho chu Aaron chapate bou ahiuvin, Leviten akithopi jiu ahi.
11 Every morning and every evening they present to Yahweh offerings to be completely burned [on the altar], and they burn fragrant incense. [Each week] they place the sacred bread on the sacred table, and each morning they light the lamps that are on the gold lampstand. We are obeying what Yahweh our God requires us to do. But you have abandoned him.
Amaho seh jingkah nilhah seh in Pakai angsunga pumgo thilto le gim namtui hal aboljiuvin ahi. Nilhah sehle dokhang theng chunga chun changlhah agoldoh jiuvin, chule sana thaomei chunga chun thaomei ho avah jiuvin ahi. Keihon Pakai ka Pathen thuhil kajui jing un, ahinlah nanghon ama chu nalha tauve.
12 Yahweh is with us; he is our leader. The priests whom he has appointed will blow their trumpets to signal [that we are ready] to fight a battle against you. You Israeli men, do not fight against Yahweh, the God to whom your ancestors belonged, because you will not be successful and win the battle against him.”
Chuti chun veuvin Pathen chun eiumpiuve. Amahi kalamkai pao ahi, Ama thempu hon asumkon’u amut uva galmuna nang douna eilamkaiju ahi. “Vo Israel mite, Pakai napu napa teu dounan galsat hih un; ajeh chu na lolhin lou diu ahi.”
13 [While he was speaking, ] Jeroboam sent some of his troops around the army of Judah. So while the soldiers who were with Jeroboam were in front of the army of Judah, the other soldiers of Israel were behind the army of Judah.
Hiche kahla achun Jeroboam chun guhthim chan asepaite phabap khat chu, Judah te nung lama konna umkim vella changlhi din asel’in ahi.
14 When the soldiers of Judah turned and saw that they were going to be attacked from the front and from the rear, they cried out to Yahweh. The priests blew their trumpets,
Judah techun anung ama konna ahung kino khumu chu ahetdoh phat uchun, akithopi diuvin Pakai koma ataouvin, chuin thempu hon sumkon amut un,
15 and the men of Judah shouted a loud battle-cry. Then Yahweh [enabled Abijah and the army of Judah to] defeat Jeroboam and [the army of] Israel.
chule Judah mite chun kho asam pan tauvin ahi. Agalsat khosap ogin husan chun Pathen in Jeroboam chu ajopeh un chule Israel te Abijah le Judah te sepaiho masang chun adelmang tan ahi.
16 The soldiers of Israel fled from the soldiers of Judah, and God enabled the army of Judah to defeat them.
Israel sepai ho chu Judah te masanga konin ajamang un, chuin Pathen in Judahte chu Israel mite khut nakon ahuh dohtan ahi.
17 Abijah and his troops struck the capable soldiers of Israel and killed 500,000 of them.
Abijah le sepaite chun amaho chu nasatah in atong khaovin, hiche ni chun Israelte sepai athemcheh mi sang janga athi in ahi.
18 So the soldiers of Israel were defeated, and the soldiers of Judah won the battle because they trusted in Yahweh, the God to whom their ancestors belonged.
Hiti chun hiche thilsoh chunga hin Judah ten Israel te ajou un ahi.
19 Abijah’s army pursued the army of Jeroboam, and they captured from the people of Israel the cities of Bethel, Jeshanah, and Ephron, and the surrounding villages.
Abijah le asepaite chun Jeroboam sepai ho chu aga nung del peh-un, khopi phabep Bethel, Jeshanah le Ephron jaonan chule akimvella kho neo ho chu aga la tauvin ahi.
20 During the remaining time that Abijah ruled, Jeroboam did not become powerful again. Then Yahweh caused him to become very ill, and he died.
Chuti chun Abijah dam sungin Jeroboam chu athaneina akinung le doh kit tapon, chule achaina lama Pakai in ajeplhun athi tan ahi.
21 But Abijah became more powerful. He married 14 wives and had 22 sons and 16 daughters.
Ahinlah Abijah thaneina vang chu akhangtou jingin, Abijah chun ji numei somle li aneiyin; chule chapa somnile ni le chanu somle gup aneiyin ahi.
22 An account of the other things that Abijah did while he was the king, including what he said and what he did, is in the scroll written by the prophet Iddo.
Abijah Lengvaipoh sunga thilsoh dang hole, athusei alahsah hole anatoh athibol ho jouse chu; Iddo themgao Lekhabua chun akijih lut soh keiyin ahi.
