2 Tawarikh 13

1 Dalam tahun kedelapan belas zaman raja Yerobeam menjadi rajalah Abia atas Yehuda.

In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abia reigned over Juda.

2 Tiga tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Mikhaya, anak Uriel dari Gibea. Dan ada perang antara Abia dan Yerobeam.

Three years he reigned in Jerusalem, and his mother’s name was Michaia, the daughter of Uriel of Gabaa: and there was war between Abia and Jeroboam.

3 Abia memulai perang dengan pasukan pahlawan-pahlawan perang, yang jumlahnya empat ratus ribu orang pilihan, sedangkan Yerobeam mengatur barisan perangnya melawan dia dengan delapan ratus ribu orang pilihan, pahlawan-pahlawan yang gagah perkasa.

And when Abia had begun battle, and had with him four hundred thousand most valiant and chosen men, Jeroboam put his army in array against him, eight hundred thousand men, who were also chosen and most valiant for war.

4 Lalu Abia berdiri di atas gunung Zemaraim, yang termasuk pegunungan Efraim, dan berkata: "Dengarlah kepadaku, Yerobeam dan seluruh Israel!

And Abia stood upon mount Semeron, which was in Ephraim, and said: Hear me, O Jeroboam, and all Israel:

5 Tidakkah kamu tahu, bahwa TUHAN Allah Israel telah memberikan kuasa kerajaan atas Israel kepada Daud dan anak-anaknya untuk selama-lamanya dengan suatu perjanjian garam?

Do you not know that the Lord God of Israel gave to David the kingdom over Israel for ever, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?

6 Tetapi Yerobeam bin Nebat, hamba Salomo bin Daud, telah bangkit memberontak melawan tuannya.

And Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up: and rebelled against his lord.

7 Petualang-petualang, orang-orang dursila, berhimpun padanya; mereka terlalu kuat bagi Rehabeam bin Salomo, yang masih muda dan belum teguh hati, dan yang tidak dapat mempertahankan diri terhadap mereka.

And there were gathered to him vain men, and children of Belial: and they prevailed against Roboam the son of Solomon: for Roboam was unexperienced, and of a fearful heart, and could not resist them.

8 Tentu kamu menyangka, bahwa kamu dapat mempertahankan diri terhadap kerajaan TUHAN, yang dipegang keturunan Daud, karena jumlah kamu besar dan karena pada kamu ada anak lembu emas yang dibuat Yerobeam untuk kamu menjadi allah.

And now you say that you are able to withstand the kingdom of the Lord, which he possesseth by the sons of David, and you have a great multitude of people, and golden calves, which Jeroboam hath made you for gods.

9 Bukankah kamu telah menyingkirkan imam-imam TUHAN, anak-anak Harun itu, dan orang-orang Lewi, lalu mengangkat imam-imam menurut kebiasaan bangsa-bangsa negeri-negeri lain, sehingga setiap orang yang datang untuk ditahbiskan dengan seekor lembu jantan muda dan tujuh ekor domba jantan, dijadikan imam untuk sesuatu yang bukan Allah.

And you have cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites: and you have made you priests, like all the nations of the earth: whosoever cometh and consecrateth his hand with a bullock of the herd, and with seven rams, is made a priest of those who are no gods.

10 Tetapi kami ini, Tuhanlah Allah kami, dan kami tidak meninggalkan-Nya. Dan anak-anak Harunlah yang melayani TUHAN sebagai imam, sedang orang Lewi menunaikan tugasnya,

But the Lord is our God, whom we forsake not, and the priests who minister to the Lord are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites are in their order.

11 yakni setiap pagi dan setiap petang mereka membakar bagi TUHAN korban bakaran dan ukupan dari wangi-wangian, menyusun roti sajian di atas meja yang tahir, dan mengatur kandil emas dengan pelita-pelitanya untuk dinyalakan setiap petang, karena kamilah yang memelihara kewajiban kami terhadap TUHAN, Allah kami, tetapi kamulah yang meninggalkan-Nya.

And they offer holocausts to the Lord, every day, morning and evening, and incense made according to the ordinance of the law, and the leaves are set forth on a most clean table, and there is with us the golden candlestick, and the lamps thereof, to be lighted always in the evening: for we keep the precepts of the Lord our God, whom you have forsaken.

12 Lihatlah, pada pihak kami Allah yang memimpin, sedang imam-imam-Nya siap meniup tanda serangan terhadap kamu dengan nafiri isyarat-isyarat. Hai orang Israel, jangan kamu berperang melawan TUHAN, Allah nenek moyangmu, karena kamu tidak akan beruntung!"

Therefore God is the leader in our army, and his priests who sound with trumpets, and resound against you: O children of Israel, fight not against the Lord the God of your fathers, for it is not good for you.

13 Tetapi Yerobeam mengirim suatu pasukan penghadang yang harus membuat gerakan keliling supaya sampai di belakang mereka, sehingga induk pasukannya berada di depan Yehuda dan pasukan-pasukan penghadang di belakang mereka.

While he spoke these things, Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind him. And while he stood facing the enemies, he encompassed Juda. who perceived it not, with his army.

14 Ketika Yehuda menoleh ke belakang, lihatlah, mereka harus menghadapi pertempuran dari depan dan dari belakang. Mereka berteriak kepada TUHAN, sedang para imam meniup nafiri,

And when Juda looked back, they saw the battle coming upon them both before and behind, and they cried to the Lord: and the priests began to sound with the trumpets.

15 dan orang-orang Yehuda memekikkan pekik perang. Pada saat orang-orang Yehuda itu memekikkan pekik perang, Allah memukul kalah Yerobeam dan segenap orang Israel oleh Abia dan Yehuda.

And all the men of Juda shouted: and behold when they shouted, God terrified Jeroboam, and all Israel that stood against Abia and Juda.

16 Orang Israel lari dari depan Yehuda, tetapi Allah menyerahkan mereka ke dalam tangan Yehuda.

And the children of Israel fled before Juda, and the Lord delivered them into their hand.

17 Abia dengan laskarnya mendatangkan kekalahan yang besar kepada mereka. Dari orang Israel mati terbunuh lima ratus ribu orang pilihan.

And Abia and his people slew them with a great slaughter, and there fell wounded of Israel five hundred thousand valiant men.

18 Demikianlah orang Israel ditundukkan pada waktu itu, sedang orang Yehuda menjadi kokoh, karena mereka mengandalkan diri kepada TUHAN, Allah nenek moyang mereka.

And the children of Israel were brought down, at that time, and the children of Juda were exceedingly strengthened, because they had trusted in the Lord the God of their fathers.

19 Abia mengejar Yerobeam dan merebut dari padanya beberapa kota, yakni Betel dengan segala anak kotanya, Yesana dengan segala anak kotanya dan Efron dengan segala anak kotanya.

And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel and her daughters, and Jesana with her daughters, Ephron also and her daughters.

20 Tak pernah lagi Yerobeam mendapat kekuatan di zaman Abia. TUHAN memukul dia, sehingga ia mati.

And Jeroboam was not able to resist any more, in the days of Abia: and the Lord struck him, and he died.

21 Abia menunjukkan dirinya kuat. Ia mengambil empat belas isteri dan memperanakkan dua puluh dua anak laki-laki dan enam belas anak perempuan.

But Abia, being strengthened in his kingdom, took fourteen wives: and begot two and twenty sons, and sixteen daughters.

22 Selebihnya dari riwayat Abia, langkah-langkahnya dan titah-titahnya, tertulis dalam kitab sejarah nabi Ido.

And the rest of the acts of Abia, and of his ways and works, are written diligently in the book of Addo the prophet.
