2 Chronicles 13
1 In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam — Abijah reigneth over Judah;
Osamnaeste godine Jeroboamova kraljevanja zakralji se Abija nad Judejom.
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.
Tri je godine kraljevao u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Mikaja, Urielova kći iz Gabe. Tada izbi rat između Abije i Jeroboama.
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.
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 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!
Abija je stao na vrh Semarajimske gore u Efrajimovu gorju i rekao: “Čujte me, Jeroboame i sav Izraele!
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?
Ne znate li da je Jahve, Bog Izraelov, predao Davidu kraljevstvo nad Izraelom zauvijek, njemu i njegovim sinovima, osoljenim savezom?
6 and rise up doth Jeroboam, son of Nebat, servant of Solomon son of David, and rebelleth against his lord!
Ali se podigao Nebatov sin Jeroboam, sluga Davidova sina Salomona, i pobunio se protiv gospodara.
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.
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, 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.
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 '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!
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, 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,
Nama je Bog Jahve, nismo ga ostavili, a svećenici koji služe Jahvi jesu Aronovi sinovi i leviti u svojem poslu.
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.
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 '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.'
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 And Jeroboam hath brought round the ambush to come in from behind them, and they are before Judah, and the ambush [is] behind them.
Ali Jeroboam zavede zasjedu da im dođe za leđa; tako su Judejcima bili jedni sprijeda, a zasjeda straga.
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,
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 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.
Uto Judejci snažno povikaše, a kad su počeli vikati, Bog razbi Jeroboama i sav Izrael pred Abijom i Judejcima.
16 And the sons of Israel flee from the face of Judah, and God giveth them into their hand,
Izraelovi sinovi pobjegoše pred Judejcima i Bog ih predade njima u ruke.
17 and Abijah and his people smite among them a great smiting, and there fall wounded of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
Abija je s narodom učinio velik pokolj među njima te je od Izraela palo pobijenih pet stotina tisuća izabranih ljudi.
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.
Tako su sinovi Izraelovi bili poniženi u to vrijeme, a Judini su sinovi ojačali, jer su se oslonili na Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca.
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.
Abija je potjerao Jeroboama i osvojio od njega gradove Betel sa selima, Ješanu sa selima i Efron sa selima.
20 And Jeroboam hath not retained power any more in the days of Abijah, and Jehovah smiteth him, and he dieth.
Jeroboam se više nije oporavio za Abijina života; Jahve ga je udario tako da je umro.
21 And Abijah strengtheneth himself, and taketh to him fourteen wives, and begetteth twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters,
Abija se utvrdio i uzeo sebi četrnaest žena te je rodio dvadeset i dva sina i šesnaest kćeri.
22 and the rest of the matters of Abijah, and his ways, and his words, are written in the 'Inquiry' of the prophet Iddo.
A ostali Abijini doživljaji i njegovi pothvati i besjede zapisani su u tumačenju proroka Adona.
