2 Chronicles 13
1 When Jeroboam had been ruling [Israel] for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
Osamnaeste godine Jeroboamova kraljevanja zakralji se Abija nad Judejom.
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.
Tri je godine kraljevao u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Mikaja, Urielova kći iz Gabe. Tada izbi rat između Abije i Jeroboama.
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.
Abija je izašao u boj s hrabrim ratnicima, sa četiri stotine tisuća izabranih junaka; Jeroboam je svrstao u bojni red protiv njega osam stotina tisuća ljudi, sve biranih junaka.
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!
Abija je stao na vrh Semarajimske gore u Efrajimovu gorju i rekao: “Čujte me, Jeroboame i sav Izraele!
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.
Ne znate li da je Jahve, Bog Izraelov, predao Davidu kraljevstvo nad Izraelom zauvijek, njemu i njegovim sinovima, osoljenim savezom?
6 But Jeroboam, who was [only] an official of David’s son King Solomon, rebelled against his king.
Ali se podigao Nebatov sin Jeroboam, sluga Davidova sina Salomona, i pobunio se protiv gospodara.
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.
Skupili su se oko njega ljudi praznovi i nevaljalci i stali prkositi Salomonovu sinu Roboamu, koji je bio mlad i strašljiva srca te se nije umio hrabro braniti od njih.
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.
Pa sada mislite da se možete oprijeti Jahvinu kraljevstvu što je u ruci Davidovih sinova jer vas je veliko mnoštvo i imate kod sebe zlatnu telad koju vam je napravio Jeroboam da vam budu bogovi.
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.
Otjerali ste Jahvine svećenike, Aronove sinove i levite, i postavili sebi svećenike kao drugi zemaljski narodi. Tko je god došao s juncem i sa sedam ovnova, postao je svećenik vašim ništavim bogovima.
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.
Nama je Bog Jahve, nismo ga ostavili, a svećenici koji služe Jahvi jesu Aronovi sinovi i leviti u svojem poslu.
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.
Pale Jahvi na kad paljenice svakoga jutra i svake večeri s mirisnim kadom, postavljaju kruhove na čist stol i upaljuju svake večeri zlatan svijećnjak sa svijećama; jer mi držimo naredbu Jahve, svojega Boga, a vi ste ga ostavili.
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.”
Zato je, evo, nama na čelu Bog i njegovi svećenici s glasnim trubama da gromko trube protiv vas. Izraelovi sinovi, ne udarajte na Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca, jer nećete imati sreće!”
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.
Ali Jeroboam zavede zasjedu da im dođe za leđa; tako su Judejcima bili jedni sprijeda, a zasjeda straga.
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,
Kad se Judejci obazreše, a ono, gle, boj im bješe sprijeda i otraga. Tada zavapiše k Jahvi, a svećenici stadoše trubiti u trube.
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.
Uto Judejci snažno povikaše, a kad su počeli vikati, Bog razbi Jeroboama i sav Izrael pred Abijom i Judejcima.
16 The soldiers of Israel fled from the soldiers of Judah, and God enabled the army of Judah to defeat them.
Izraelovi sinovi pobjegoše pred Judejcima i Bog ih predade njima u ruke.
17 Abijah and his troops struck the capable soldiers of Israel and killed 500,000 of them.
Abija je s narodom učinio velik pokolj među njima te je od Izraela palo pobijenih pet stotina tisuća izabranih ljudi.
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.
Tako su sinovi Izraelovi bili poniženi u to vrijeme, a Judini su sinovi ojačali, jer su se oslonili na Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca.
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.
Abija je potjerao Jeroboama i osvojio od njega gradove Betel sa selima, Ješanu sa selima i Efron sa selima.
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.
Jeroboam se više nije oporavio za Abijina života; Jahve ga je udario tako da je umro.
21 But Abijah became more powerful. He married 14 wives and had 22 sons and 16 daughters.
Abija se utvrdio i uzeo sebi četrnaest žena te je rodio dvadeset i dva sina i šesnaest kćeri.
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.
A ostali Abijini doživljaji i njegovi pothvati i besjede zapisani su u tumačenju proroka Adona.
