2 Istwa 13
1 Jewoboram te gen dizwitan depi li te wa peyi Izrayèl la, lè Abija moute wa nan peyi Jida.
In the eyghteenth yeere of King Ieroboam began Abiiah to reigne ouer Iudah.
2 Li gouvènen pandan twazan lavil Jerizalèm. Manman l' te rele Mikaja. Se te pitit fi Ouryèl, moun lavil Gibeya. Se te yon lagè san rete ant Abija ak Jewoboram.
He reigned three yere in Ierusalem: (his mothers name also was Michaiah the daughter of Vriel of Gibea) and there was warre betweene Abiiah and Ieroboam.
3 Abija leve yon lame katsanmil (400.000) vanyan sòlda ki konn goumen. Jewoboram bò pa l' kanpe pou goumen kont Abija ak witsanmil (800.000) vanyan sòlda ki konn goumen.
And Abiiah set the battel in aray with the armie of valiant men of warre, euen foure hundreth thousand chosen men. Ieroboam also set the battell in aray against him with eight hundreth thousande chosen men which were strong and valiant.
4 De lame yo kontre nan mòn peyi Efrayim yo. Wa Abija kanpe sou mòn Zemarayim, li pale byen fò, li di: -Koute m' non, Jewoboram ak nou tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo!
And Abiiah stood vp vpon mount Zemeraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and sayde, O Ieroboam, and all Israel, heare you me,
5 Eske se konnen nou pa konnen Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, te pase yon kontra ak David, kontra ki pa kapab kase. Dapre kontra a, li mete gouvènman pèp Izrayèl la nan men l' ak nan men fanmi l' pou tout tan.
Ought you not to know that the Lord God of Israel hath giuen the kingdome ouer Israel to Dauid for euer, euen to him and to his sonnes by a couenant of salt?
6 Men, Jewoboram, pitit gason Nebat la, li menm ki t'ap sèvi ak Salomon, pitit David la, revòlte kont mèt li.
And Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat the seruant of Salomon the sonne of Dauid is risen vp, and hath rebelled against his lord:
7 Apre sa, yon bann vòryen ak yon bann vakabon al mete tèt yo ansanm ak li, yo fòse Woboram, pitit gason Salomon an, yo fè l' fè sa yo vle, paske li te jenn, li te gen tèt fèb. Li pa t' ka kenbe tèt ak yo.
And there are gathered to him vayne men and wicked, and made themselues strong against Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon: for Rehoboam was but a childe and tender hearted, and coulde not resist them.
8 Koulye a, nou fè lide vin kraze otorite Seyè a te mete nan men fanmi David la, tou sa paske nou gen avèk nou yon gwo lame ak tout estati towo bèf an lò Jewoboram te fè pou sèvi nou bondye a.
Now therefore ye thinke that yee be able to resist against the kingdome of the Lord, which is in the handes of the sonnes of Dauid, and ye bee a great multitude, and the golden calues are with you which Ieroboam made you for gods.
9 Nou mete prèt Seyè yo, pitit Arawon yo, deyò ansanm ak moun Levi yo, lèfini nou fè tankou lòt nasyon yo, nou chwazi moun pa nou pou sèvi prèt. Nenpòt moun ki vin jwenn nou ak yon towo bèf osinon ak sèt mouton, nou fè l' prèt bondye nou yo ki pa bondye.
Haue ye not driuen away the Priestes of the Lord the sonnes of Aaron and the Leuites, and haue made you Priests like the people of other countreis? whosoeuer commeth to consecrate with a yong bullocke and seuen rams, the same may be a Priest of them that are no gods.
10 Men nou menm, se Seyè a ki Bondye nou. Nou pa janm vire do ba li. Prèt k'ap sèvi devan Seyè a se fanmi Arawon yo ye. Moun ki reskonsab sèvis yo se moun Levi yo ye.
But wee belong vnto the Lord our God, and haue not forsaken him, and the Priestes the sonnes of Aaron minister vnto the Lord, and the Leuites in their office.
11 Chak maten, chak aswè, y'ap ofri bèt yo boule nèt pou Seyè a ansanm ak lansan. Yo mete pen ki apa pou Bondye yo sou yon tab ki nan kondisyon pou sèvis Bondye. Chak aswè, yo limen lanp ki sou gwo lanp sèt branch lan. Nou fè tou sa Seyè a ban nou lòd fè. Men, nou menm moun peyi Izrayèl, nou vire do ba li.
And they burne vnto the Lord euery morning and euery euening burnt offerings and sweete incense, and the breade is set in order vpon the pure table, and the candlesticke of golde with the lampes thereof, to burne euery euening: for we keepe the watch of the Lord our God: but ye haue forsaken him.
12 Se Bondye menm ki alatèt nou avèk prèt li yo. Yo tou pare pou kònen twonpèt yo pou bay siyal mache pran nou. Se poutèt sa, nou menm moun peyi Izrayèl yo, pa fè lagè ak Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo. Paske se nou k'ap anba.
And behold, this God is with vs, as a captaine, and his Priests with the sounding trumpets, to crie an alarme against you. O yee children of Israel, fight not against the Lord God of your fathers: for ye shall not prosper.
13 Jewoboram fè sòlda ki te dèyè yo fè yon detou al pase dèyè lame moun peyi Jida yo. Konsa, pifò sòlda li yo te kanpe sou devan lame moun Jida yo, ak yon bon valè sòlda li yo sou dèyè yo.
But Ieroboam caused an ambushment to compasse, and come behind them, when they were before Iudah, and the ambushment behinde them.
14 Lè moun peyi Jida yo voye je alawonn, yo wè yo te sènen sou devan ak sou dèyè, yo rele mande Seyè a sekou. Prèt yo menm pran kònen twonpèt yo.
Then Iudah looked, and beholde, the battel was before and behinde them, and they cried vnto the Lord, and the Priests blewe with the trumpets,
15 Moun Jida yo bay yon sèl rèl byen fò, epi yo atake. Bondye fè Jewoboram ak tout lame moun Izrayèl yo pèdi devan Abija ak moun Jida yo.
And the men of Iudah gaue a shoute: and euen as the men of Iudah shouted, God smote Ieroboam and also Israel before Abiiah and Iudah.
16 Moun Izrayèl yo pran kouri pou moun Jida yo, Bondye lage yo nan men moun Jida yo.
And the children of Israel fledde before Iudah, and God deliuered them into their hande.
17 Abija ak sòlda li yo touye yon pakèt ladan yo. Yo touye senksanmil (500.000) nan pi bon sòlda lame pèp Izrayèl la.
And Abiiah and his people slewe a great slaughter of them, so that there fel downe wounded of Israel fiue hundreth thousand chosen men.
18 Se konsa moun peyi Izrayèl yo soti wont nan batay la, men moun peyi Jida yo soti pi fò, paske se sou Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, yo te apiye.
So the children of Israel were brought vnder at that time: and the children of Iudah preuailed, because they stayed vpon the Lord God of their fathers.
19 Abija kouri dèyè Jewoboram, li pran lavil Betèl, lavil Jesana ak lavil Efwon ansanm ak tout ti bouk ki te sou kont yo.
And Abiiah pursued after Ieroboam, and tooke cities from him, euen Beth-el, and the villages thereof, and Ieshanah with her villages, and Ephron with her villages.
20 Jewoboram pa janm pran pye ankò pandan tout rèy Abija. Bout pou bout, Seyè a frape l', li mouri.
And Ieroboam recouered no strength againe in the dayes of Abiiah, but the Lord plagued him, and he dyed.
21 Abija menm te vin pi fò toujou, li te gen katòz fanm ki te fè vennde pitit gason ak sèz pitit fi pou li.
So Abiiah waxed mightie, and marryed foureteene wiues, and begate two and twentie sonnes, and sixteene daughters.
22 Tout rès istwa Abija a, tou sa li te fè ak tou sa li te di, nou jwenn yo nan liv istwa pwofèt Ido te ekri a.
The rest of the actes of Abiiah and his maners and his sayings are written in the storie of the Prophet Iddo.
