2 Chronicles 13
1 In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam — Abijah reigneth over Judah;
耶罗波安王十八年，亚比雅登基作犹大王，
2 three years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, (and the name of his mother [is] Michaiah daughter of Uriel, from Gibeah, ) and war hath been between Abijah and Jeroboam.
在耶路撒冷作王三年。他母亲名叫米该亚，是基比亚人乌列的女儿。 亚比雅常与耶罗波安争战。
3 And Abijah directeth the war with a force of mighty men of war, four hundred thousand chosen men, and Jeroboam hath set in array with him battle, with eight hundred thousand chosen men, mighty of valour.
有一次亚比雅率领挑选的兵四十万摆阵，都是勇敢的战士；耶罗波安也挑选大能的勇士八十万，对亚比雅摆阵。
4 And Abijah riseth up on the hill of Zemaraim that [is] in the hill-country of Ephraim, and saith, 'Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel!
亚比雅站在以法莲山地中的洗玛脸山上，说：“耶罗波安和以色列众人哪，要听我说！
5 Is it not for you to know that Jehovah, God of Israel, hath given the kingdom to David over Israel to the age, to him and to his sons — a covenant of salt?
耶和华—以色列的 神曾立盐约，将以色列国永远赐给大卫和他的子孙，你们不知道吗？
6 and rise up doth Jeroboam, son of Nebat, servant of Solomon son of David, and rebelleth against his lord!
无奈大卫儿子所罗门的臣仆、尼八儿子耶罗波安起来背叛他的主人。
7 'And there are gathered unto him vain men, sons of worthlessness, and they strengthen themselves against Rehoboam son of Solomon, and Rehoboam was a youth, and tender of heart, and hath not strengthened himself against them.
有些无赖的匪徒聚集跟从他，逞强攻击所罗门的儿子罗波安；那时罗波安还幼弱，不能抵挡他们。
8 'And now, ye are saying to strengthen yourselves before the kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the sons of David, and ye [are] a numerous multitude, and with you calves of gold that Jeroboam hath made to you for gods.
“现在你们有意抗拒大卫子孙手下所治耶和华的国，你们的人也甚多，你们那里又有耶罗波安为你们所造当作神的金牛犊。
9 'Have ye not cast out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and make to you priests like the peoples of the lands? every one who hath come to fill his hand with a bullock, a son of the herd, and seven rams, even he hath been a priest to No-gods!
你们不是驱逐耶和华的祭司亚伦的后裔和利未人吗？不是照着外邦人的恶俗为自己立祭司吗？无论何人牵一只公牛犊、七只公绵羊将自己分别出来，就可作虚无之神的祭司。
10 'As for us, Jehovah [is] our God, and we have not forsaken Him, and priests are ministering to Jehovah, sons of Aaron and the Levites, in the work,
至于我们，耶和华是我们的 神，我们并没有离弃他。我们有事奉耶和华的祭司，都是亚伦的后裔，并有利未人各尽其职，
11 and are making perfume to Jehovah, burnt-offerings morning by morning, and evening by evening, and perfume of spices, and the arrangement of bread [is] on the pure table, and the candlestick of gold, and its lamps, to burn evening by evening, for we are keeping the charge of Jehovah our God, and ye — ye have forsaken Him.
每日早晚向耶和华献燔祭，烧美香，又在精金的桌子上摆陈设饼；又有金灯台和灯盏，每晚点起，因为我们遵守耶和华—我们 神的命；惟有你们离弃了他。
12 'And lo, with us — at [our] head — [is] God, and His priests and trumpets of shouting to shout against you; O sons of Israel, do not fight with Jehovah, God of your fathers, for ye do not prosper.'
率领我们的是 神，我们这里也有 神的祭司拿号向你们吹出大声。以色列人哪，不要与耶和华—你们列祖的 神争战，因你们必不能亨通。”
13 And Jeroboam hath brought round the ambush to come in from behind them, and they are before Judah, and the ambush [is] behind them.
耶罗波安却在犹大人的后头设伏兵。这样，以色列人在犹大人的前头，伏兵在犹大人的后头。
14 And Judah turneth, and lo, against them [is] the battle, before and behind, and they cry to Jehovah, and the priests are blowing with trumpets,
犹大人回头观看，见前后都有敌兵，就呼求耶和华，祭司也吹号。
15 and the men of Judah shout — and it cometh to pass, at the shouting of the men of Judah, that God hath smitten Jeroboam, and all Israel, before Abijah and Judah.
于是犹大人呐喊；犹大人呐喊的时候， 神就使耶罗波安和以色列众人败在亚比雅与犹大人面前。
16 And the sons of Israel flee from the face of Judah, and God giveth them into their hand,
以色列人在犹大人面前逃跑， 神将他们交在犹大人手里。
17 and Abijah and his people smite among them a great smiting, and there fall wounded of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
亚比雅和他的军兵大大杀戮以色列人，以色列人仆倒死亡的精兵有五十万。
18 And the sons of Israel are humbled at that time, and the sons of Judah are strong, for they have leant on Jehovah, God of their fathers.
那时，以色列人被制伏了，犹大人得胜，是因倚靠耶和华—他们列祖的 神。
19 And Abijah pursueth after Jeroboam, and captureth from him cities, Beth-El and its small towns, and Jeshanah and its small towns, and Ephraim and its small towns.
亚比雅追赶耶罗波安，攻取了他的几座城，就是伯特利和属伯特利的镇市，耶沙拿和属耶沙拿的镇市，以法拉音和属以法拉音的镇市。
20 And Jeroboam hath not retained power any more in the days of Abijah, and Jehovah smiteth him, and he dieth.
亚比雅在世的时候，耶罗波安不能再强盛；耶和华攻击他，他就死了。
21 And Abijah strengtheneth himself, and taketh to him fourteen wives, and begetteth twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters,
亚比雅却渐渐强盛，娶妻妾十四个，生了二十二个儿子，十六个女儿。
22 and the rest of the matters of Abijah, and his ways, and his words, are written in the 'Inquiry' of the prophet Iddo.
亚比雅其余的事和他的言行都写在先知易多的传上。
