2 Chronicles 13
1 When Jeroboam had been ruling [Israel] for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
E higa mar apar gaboro mar loch Jeroboam, Abija nobedo ruodh Juda,
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.
kendo norito piny kuom higni adek kodak Jerusalem. Min mare ne nyinge Maaka ma nyar Uriel ja-Gibea. Ne nitiere lweny e kind Abija kod Jeroboam.
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 nodhi e kedo ka en gi jolweny molony alufu mia angʼwen to Jeroboam nochano jolweny moyier marateke alufu mia aboro.
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 nochungo e Got Zemaraim e piny gode mag Efraim kowacho niya, “Winjauru in Jeroboam kod jo-Israel duto!
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.
Donge ungʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach jo-Israel nomiyo Daudi kod nyikwaye loch Israel nyaka chiengʼ kotimo kodgi singruok ma ok tow?
6 But Jeroboam, who was [only] an official of David’s son King Solomon, rebelled against his king.
To kata obedo kamano Jeroboam wuod Nebat jatelo mar Solomon wuod Daudi nongʼanyo ni ruodhe.
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.
Ji moko ma timbegi mono noriwore kode mi negikwedo Rehoboam wuod Solomon kane pod en rawera mayom yom kendo ne ok otek monyalo sirogi.
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.
“To koro sani ichano mondo itamri loch Jehova Nyasaye mantiere e lwet nyikwa Daudi. Adieri un kod jolweny mangʼeny kendo un kod nyiroye mag dhahabu mane Jeroboam oloso mondo obed nyisecheu.
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.
To donge nuriembo jodolo mag Jehova Nyasaye ma yawuot Harun kaachiel gi jo-Lawi kendo ne uyiero jodolo magu kaka jopinje mamoko timo? Ngʼato angʼata mobiro opwodhore gi nyarwath kod imbe abiriyo nyalo bedo jadolo mar gik ma ok nyiseche.
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.
“Wan to Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasachwa kendo ok waseweye ngangʼ. Jodolo matiyone Jehova Nyasaye gin yawuot Harun kendo jo-Lawi konyogi e tijno.
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.
Okinyi godhiambo gichiwone Jehova Nyasaye misengini miwangʼo pep kod gik mangʼwe ngʼar kendo giketo makati e mesa mopwodhi kendo gimoko teche moket e rachungi taya mar dhahabu godhiambo pile ka pile. Wan warito chike Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, un to useweye.
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.”
Nyasaye ni kodwa; en e jatendwa. Jodolo mage biro goyo turumbete miluong ji mondo oked kodu. Jo-Israel, kik uked gi Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kwereu nikech ok ubiloyo.”
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.
Jeroboam noseoro jolweny mondo oluor e tokgi mondo ni kane en e nyim Juda to jolweny moko mondo omonjgi gi ka tokgi.
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,
Kane jo-Juda olokore moneno nine imonjogi gi ka tokgi kod e nyimgi eka negiywagore ni Jehova Nyasaye. To jodolo bende nogoyo turumbete
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.
eka jo-Juda nongʼiyo kendo kane gigiyo kamano Nyasaye nokeyo Jeroboam kaachiel gi jo-Israel duto e nyim Abija kod jo-Juda.
16 The soldiers of Israel fled from the soldiers of Judah, and God enabled the army of Judah to defeat them.
Jo-Israel noringo akeya nono e nyim jo-Juda nikech Nyasaye nochiwogi e lwet jo-Juda.
17 Abijah and his troops struck the capable soldiers of Israel and killed 500,000 of them.
Abija kod joge nonegogi malich ahinya ma joma nohinyore kuom jo-Israel marateke moyier ne gin ji alufu mia abich.
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.
Kamano e kaka ne olo jo-Israel chiengʼno, jo-Juda nolocho nikech negigeno kuom Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kweregi.
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 nolawo Jeroboam mokawo mieche kaka Bethel gi Jeshana kod Efron kod mier matindo mokiewo kode.
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.
Loch Jeroboam ne ok ochako obedo motegno e kinde Abija. Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye nogoye motho.
21 But Abijah became more powerful. He married 14 wives and had 22 sons and 16 daughters.
Loch Abija nomedo gurore motegno. Nokendo mon apar gangʼwen kendo ne en gi yawuowi piero ariyo gariyo kod nyiri apar gauchiel.
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.
Weche moko mag loch Abija, timbene duto kod gik mane owacho ondiki e kitap Ido janabi.
