2 Chronicles 13
1 In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah.
Bara mootummaa Yerobiʼaam keessa waggaa kudha saddeettaffaatti Abiyaan mootii Yihuudaa taʼe;
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
innis Yerusaalem keessa jiraatee waggaa sadii ni bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Miikaayaa ture; isheen intala Uuriiʼeel namicha Gibeʼaa sanaa turte. Abiyaa fi Yerobiʼaam gidduu waraanatu ture.
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 valour.
Abiyaan humna waraanaa kan namoota lola dandaʼan kuma dhibba afur of keessaa qabuun duule; Yerobiʼaam immoo loltoota ciccimoo kuma dhibba saddeetiin baʼee isa eegate.
4 Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, “Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel:
Abiyaan Gaara Zemaaraayim kan biyya gaaraa Efreem irra dhaabatee akkana jedhe; “Yerobiʼaamii fi Israaʼel hundi mee na dhaggeeffadhaa!
5 Ought you not to know that the LORD, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
Isin akka Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel sun mootummaa Israaʼel Daawitii fi sanyiiwwan isaatiif kakuu soogiddaan bara baraan kenne hin beektanii?
6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.
Taʼus Yerobiʼaam ilmi Nebaat tajaajilaan Solomoon ilma Daawit sun gooftaa isaatti ni fincile.
7 Worthless men were gathered to him, wicked fellows who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender hearted, and could not withstand them.
Yeroo Rehooboʼaam ilmi Solomoon ijoollee waa murteeffachuu fi isaaniin mormuufis dandeettii hin qabneetti kashlabboonni faayidaa hin qabne tokko tokko naannoo isaatti walitti qabamanii isaan morman.
8 “Now you intend to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David. You are a great multitude, and the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods are with you.
“Isin amma mootummaa Waaqayyoo kan sanyii Daawit harka jiruun mormuuf yaadaa jirtan. Isin dhugumaan tuuta guddaa dha; fakkiiwwan jabbiiwwan warqee kanneen akka isaan waaqota keessan isinii taʼaniif Yerobiʼaam isiniif tolche sanas of biraa qabdu.
9 Haven’t you driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves according to the ways of the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may be a priest of those who are no gods.
Isin garuu luboota Waaqayyoo, ilmaan Arooniitii fi Lewwota of keessaa baaftanii akkuma namoota biyyoota kaanii luboota ofii keessanii hin muudannee? Namni dibicha loonii tokkoo fi korbeeyyii hoolaa torba qabatee of qulqulleessuu dhufu kam iyyuu waan waaqota hin taʼin sanaaf luba taʼa.
10 “But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him. We have priests serving the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work.
“Nuuf garuu Waaqayyo Waaquma keenya; nu isa hin dhiifne. Luboonni Waaqayyoon tajaajilanis ilmaan Aroon; Lewwonni immoo isaan ni gargaaru.
11 They burn to the LORD every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. They also set the show bread in order on the pure table, and care for the gold lamp stand with its lamps, to burn every evening; for we keep the instruction of the LORD our God, but you have forsaken him.
Isaan ganamaa fi galgala hunda aarsaa gubamuu fi ixaana urgaaʼu Waaqayyoof ni dhiʼeessu. Minjaala akka seeraatti qulqullaaʼe irra buddeena kaaʼanii galgala galgala immoo ibsaa baattuu ibsaa kan warqee irraa hojjetame irra jiru ni qabsiisu. Nu ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa ni eegna; isin garuu isa dhiiftaniirtu.
12 Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. Children of Israel, don’t fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers; for you will not prosper.”
Waaqni nu wajjin jira; inni qajeelchaa keenya. Luboonni isaas malakata isaanii afuufanii waraana isinitti ni waamu. Yaa namoota Israaʼel isin hin milkooftaniitii, Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii keessanii hin lolinaa.”
13 But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them; so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them.
Yerobiʼaam yeroo kanatti akka isaan utuma inni fuula Yihuudaa duraan jiruu karaa dugda duubaatiin isaan marsaniif loltoota isaa jaratti ni erge.
14 When Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
Namoonni Yihuudaa garagalanii akka duraa fi duubaan marfaman ni argan. Isaanis gara Waaqayyootti ni iyyatan; luboonni immoo malakata isaanii ni afuufan;
15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout. As the men of Judah shouted, God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
namoonni Yihuudaas iyya waraanaa ni dhageessisan. Waaqnis iyya isaaniitiin Yerobiʼaamii fi Israaʼeloota hunda fuula Abiyaa fi Yihuudaa duraa ni barbadeesse.
16 The children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.
Israaʼeloonni fuula Yihuudaa duraa ni baqatan; Waaqnis dabarsee harka Yihuudootaatti isaan kenne.
17 Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter, so five hundred thousand chosen men of Israel fell down slain.
Abiyaa fi namoonni isaa akka malee isaan miidhan; kanaafuu loltoota Israaʼel ciccimoo keessaa namni kuma dhibba shan ni dhume.
18 Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers.
Lola sana irrattis namoonni Israaʼel akka malee ni dhaʼaman; namoonni Yihuudaa garuu sababii Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaanii abdataniif ni moʼatan.
19 Abijah pursued Jeroboam, and took cities from him: Bethel with its villages, Jeshanah with its villages, and Ephron with its villages.
Abiyaanis Yerobiʼaamin ariʼee magaalaawwan Beetʼeel, Yishaanaa fi Efroon, gandoota naannoo isaanii jiran wajjin irraa ni fudhate.
20 Jeroboam didn’t recover strength again in the days of Abijah. The LORD struck him, and he died.
Yerobiʼaam bara mootummaa Abiyaa keessa deebiʼee bayyanachuu hin dandeenye. Waaqayyo isa dhaʼe; innis ni duʼe.
21 But Abijah grew mighty and took for himself fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
Abiyaan garuu jabaachaa ni deeme. Innis niitota kudha afur fuudhee ilmaan digdamii lamaa fi dubara kudha jaʼa ni dhalche.
22 The rest of the acts of Abijah, his ways, and his sayings are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
Wanni Abiyaan bara mootummaa isaa keessa hojjete biraa, waan inni hojjetee fi wanni inni dubbate galmee seenaa raajicha Iddoo keessatti barreeffameera.
