II Oihanaalii 13
1 I KA makahiki umi kumamawalu o ke alii o Ieroboama, noho alii iho la o Abiia maluna o ka Iuda.
When Jeroboam had been ruling [Israel] for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
2 Ekolu makahiki kona noho alii ana ma Ierusalema; a o ka inoa o kona makuwahine o Mikaia ke kaikamahine a Uriela no Gibea. A he kaua no iwaena o Abiia a me Ieroboama.
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.
3 A hoonohonoho iho la o Abiia i ke kaua me ka poe koa, ka poe ikaika i ke kaua, eha haneri tausani kanaka i waeia: a o Ieroboama hoi, hoonohonoho oia i ke kaua me na kanaka i waeia ewalu haneri tausani, he poe koa ikaika.
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.
4 Alaila, ku iluna o Abiia maluna o ka puu o Zemaraima, aia no ia ma ka mauna o Eperaima, a olelo aku la, E hoolohe mai, e Ieroboama a me ka Iseraela a pau;
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!
5 Aole anei oukou i ike, ua haawi mai la o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela i ke aupuni maluna o ka Iseraela, ia Davida, i mea mau loa ia ia, a me kana poe mamo, me ka berita paakai?
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.
6 Aka, ua ku iluna o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, ke kauwa a Solomona ke keiki a Davida, a kipi iho la i kona haku.
But Jeroboam, who was [only] an official of David’s son King Solomon, rebelled against his king.
7 A ua hoakoakoaia io na la na kanaka lapuwale, ka poe hewa, a ua hooikaika ku e mai ia Rehoboama, i ke keiki a Solomona. A he keiki o Rehoboama ia wa, a palupalu kona naau, aole i hiki ia ia ke ku e ia lakou.
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.
8 Ano, ke manao nei oukou e hooikaika ku e mai i ke aupuni o Iehova aia ma ka lima o na keiki a Davida; o oukou ka poe koa nui loa, a me oukou pu na bipi keiki gula a Ieroboama i hana'i, i mau akua no oukou.
“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.
9 Aole anei oukou i kipaku i na kahuna a Iehova i ka poe mamo a Aarona, a me na Levi, a hoonoho iho la no oukou iho i na kahuna e like me na lahuikanaka o na aina e? a o kela mea keia mea e hiki mai me ka bipi keiki, a me na hipakane ehiku ma kona lima i mea haawi aku, ua lilo ia i kahuna no na akua lapuwale.
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.
10 Aka, o makou nei, o Iehova, oia ko makou Akua, aole makou i haalele ia ia; a o na kahuna, ka poe kauwa na Iehova, o ka poe mamo lakou a Aarona, a o na Levi, e hana ana lakou i ka lakou oihana iho.
“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.
11 Kukuni lakou i kela kakahiaka i keia kakahiaka, i kela ahiahi i keia ahiahi, i na mohaikuni na Iehova, a me na mea poni ala; a hoonoho lakou maluna o ka papaaina maemae i ka berena hoike, a me ka ipukukui gula e aa ana kona mau manamana i kela ahiahi keia ahiahi; no ka mea, e maluna ana makou i ka oihana na Iehova, ko makou Akua, aka, o oukou la, ua haalele ia ia.
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.
12 Eia hoi me makou ke Akua i luna no makou, a o kona mau kahuna no hoi me na mea kani e hoopuiwa ia oukou. E na mamo a Iseraela, mai kaua aku oukou ia Iehova i ke Akua o ko oukou poe kupuna; no ka mea, aole pono iki oukou pela.
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.”
13 A hoonoho o Ieroboama i poe moemoe e hoohalua mahope o lakou, nolaila, imua o ka Iuda kekahi poe, a ma ko lakou kua no hoi ka poe hoohalua.
[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.
14 A ike ka Iuda, aia no ke kaua mamua o lakou a mahope kekahi, kahea aku lakou ia Iehova, a hookani ka poe kahuna i na pu.
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,
15 Alaila, hooho ae la ka poe kanaka o Iuda; a i ka hooho ana o ka Iuda poe kanaka, i luku mai la o Iehova ia Ieroboama a me ka Iseraela a pau imua o Abiia, a me ka Iuda.
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.
16 A auhee aku la ka poe mamo a Iseraela imua o ka Iuda, a haawi mai ke Akua i ua poe la iloko o ko lakou lima.
The soldiers of Israel fled from the soldiers of Judah, and God enabled the army of Judah to defeat them.
17 A luku aku la o Abiia a me kona poe kanaka ia lakou me ka luku nui; a o ka poe o ka Iseraela i pepehiia a haule iho la, elima haneri tausani kanaka i waeia.
Abijah and his troops struck the capable soldiers of Israel and killed 500,000 of them.
18 Pela i pio ai ka poe mamo a Iseraela ia manawa, a lanakila iho la ka Iuda, no ka mea, ua hilinai aku lakou ia Iehova i ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna.
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.
19 Alualu aku la o Abiia mahope o Ieroboama, a lawe pio oia i na kulanakauhale mai ona aku la, ia Betela, a me na kauhale e pili ana ilaila ia Iesana a me na kauhale e pili ana ilaila; ia Eperaima no hoi a me na kauhale e pili ana ilaila.
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.
20 Aole i loaa hou ia Ieroboama kona ikaika i na la o Abiia; a hahau mai la o Iehova ia ia, a make iho la.
During the remaining time that Abijah ruled, Jeroboam did not become powerful again. Then Yahweh caused him to become very ill, and he died.
21 Lanakila iho la o Abiia, a lawe ae la nana i na wahine he umi a me kumamaha, a hanau mai la na keikikane he iwakalua a me kumamalua, a me na kaikamahine he umi a me kumamaono.
But Abijah became more powerful. He married 14 wives and had 22 sons and 16 daughters.
22 A o ke koena o na hana a Abiia a me kona mau aoao, a me kana olelo, ua kakauia ma na kaao a Ido, ke kaula.
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.
