< 2 Cronicas 13 >
1 Iti maikasangapulo ket walo a tawen a panagturay ni Ari Jeroboam, nangrugi a nagturay ni Abias iti entero a Juda.
In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah.
2 Nagturay isuna iti tallo a tawen idiay Jerusalem; Maaca ti nagan ti inana a putot ni Uriel a taga-Gabaa. Rimsua ti panaggubat da Abias ken Jeroboam.
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.
3 Napan nakigubat ni Abias a kaduana dagiti napipigsa ken natutured a soldado, 400, 000 a napili a lallaki. Nagsagana ni Jeroboam a makigubat kenkuana a kaduana ti 800, 000 a napili a lallaki, a napipigsa ken natutured a soldado.
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.
4 Nagtakder ni Abias iti tapaw ti Bantay Zemaraim, nga adda iti katurturodan a pagilian ti Efraim, ket kinunana, “Dumngegkayo kaniak, Jeroboam ken amin a tattao ti Israel!
Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, “Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel:
5 Saanyo kadi nga ammo nga inted ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel kenni David ken kadagiti putotna a lallaki ti panangituray iti Israel iti agnanayon babaen iti katulagan?
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?
6 Ngem ni Jeroboam a putot a lalaki ni Nebat, nga adipen ni Solomon a putot ni David ket bimmusor iti amona.
Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.
7 Nakitipon kenkuana dagiti awan serserbina ken agkakadakes a lallaki. Bimmusorda kenni Rehoboam a putot ni Solomon, idi agtutubo pay laeng ni Rehoboam ken awan pay kapadasanna ken saanna a masuppiat ida.
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.
8 Ita, kunam a kabaelam a suppiaten ti bileg ti panangituray ni Yahweh iti ima dagiti kaputotan ni David. Dakkelkayo nga armada ken adda kadakayo dagiti sinan-baka a balitok nga inaramid ni Jeroboam nga agpaay a diosyo.
“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.
9 Saan kadi a pinagtalawyo dagiti padi ni Yahweh, a kaputotan ni Aaron, ken dagiti Levita? Saan kadi a nangdutokkayo kadagiti bukodyo a padi a kas iti ar-aramiden dagiti tattao kadagiti sabali a daga? Siasinoman ti umay a mangikonsagrar iti bagina babaen iti maysa nga urbon a baka ken pito a kalakian a karnero ket mabalinnan nga agbalin a padi dagiti didiosen.
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.
10 Ngem maipapan kadakami, ni Yahweh ti Diosmi, ket saanmi isuna a tinallikudan. Addaankami kadagiti padi nga agserserbi kenni Yahweh, dagiti kaputotan ni Aaron ken dagiti Levita nga adda kadagiti trabahoda.
“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.
11 Binigat ken rinabii nga agpuorda kadagiti daton a maipuor ken nabanglo nga insenso nga agpaay kenni Yahweh. Idatagda pay dagiti tinapay a datonda iti nadalus a lamisaan; ay-aywananda pay dagiti kandelero a balitok agraman dagiti pagsilawan dagitoy, ta pasgedanda dagitoy iti tunggal rabii. Tungtungpalenmi dagiti bilin ni Yahweh a Diosmi, ngem tinallikudanyo isuna.
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.
12 Kitaenyo, adda ti Dios kadakami a kas pangulomi, ken adda dagiti padina a nakaigem kadagiti trumpeta a paunienda a kas mangipakaammo iti pananggubatmi kadakayo. Tattao ti Israel, saanyo a gubaten ni Yahweh a Dios dagiti kapuonanyo, ta saankayo nga agballigi.”
Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the shofars 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.”
13 Ngem nangisagana ni Jeroboam iti mangraut iti armada ti Juda iti likudanda, adda ti armadana iti sangoanan ti Juda, ket adda iti likudanda dagiti agsaneb.
But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them; so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them.
14 Idi timmalliaw dagiti soldado ti Juda, addan dagiti kabusorda iti sangoanan ken likudanda. Immawagda kenni Yahweh, ket pinaguni dagiti padi dagiti trumpeta.
When Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to the LORD, and the priests sounded with the shofars.
15 Kalpasanna, nagpukkaw dagiti lallaki ti Juda, kabayatan iti panagpukkawda, dinangran ti Dios ni Jeroboam ken ti sibubukel nga armada ti Israel iti imatang ni Abias ken ti Juda.
Then the men of Judah gave a shout. As the men of Judah shouted, God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16 Intarayan dagiti tattao ti Israel ti Juda, ket inyawat ida ti Dios iti ima ti Juda.
The children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.
17 Pinapatay ida ni Abias ken ti armadana ket adu ti napapatayda; 500, 000 a napili a lallaki ti Israel ti natay.
Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter, so five hundred thousand chosen men of Israel fell down slain.
18 Iti kastoy a wagas, naparmek dagiti tattao ti Israel iti dayta a tiempo; nangabak dagiti tattao ti Juda gapu ta nagtalekda kenni Yahweh a Dios dagiti kapuonanda.
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.
19 Kinamat ni Abias ni Jeroboam; sinakupna dagiti siudad ni Jeroboam: ti Betel agraman dagiti barrio daytoy, ti Jesana agraman dagiti barrio daytoy, ken ti Efron agraman dagiti barrio daytoy.
Abijah pursued Jeroboam, and took cities from him: Bethel with its villages, Jeshanah with its villages, and Ephron with its villages.
20 Saanen a napasubli ni Jeroboam ti bilegna kabayatan dagiti aldaw ni Abias; dinangran isuna ni Yahweh ket natay.
Jeroboam didn’t recover strength again in the days of Abijah. The LORD struck him, and he died.
21 Ngem bimmileg ni Abias; nangasawa isuna iti sangapulo ket uppat ken naaddaan iti putot a duapulo ket dua a lallaki ken sangapulo ket innem a babbai.
But Abijah grew mighty and took for himself fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
22 Naisurat dagiti dadduma nga aramid ni Abias, ti kagagaladna, ken dagiti sasaona iti pakasaritaan ni profeta Iddo.
The rest of the acts of Abijah, his ways, and his sayings are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
