2 Kroniku 13
1 Jeroboamu'ma 18ni'a kafuma Israeli vahe kinima nemanigeno'a, Abija'a Juda vahe kinia agafa huno mani'ne.
When Jeroboam had been ruling [Israel] for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
2 Hagi Abija'a 3'a kafu Jerusalemia kinia mani'ne. Nerera'a Gibea kumateti Urieli mofakino agi'a Mikaia'e. Hagi Jeroboamu'ene Abijakea ana knafina tusi ha' hu'na'e.
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 Hagi Abija'a 400 tauseni'a hankavenentake sondia vahe'aramina zamavareno Jeroboamuna hara hunte'naku vigeno, Jeroboamu'a 800 tauseni'a hankavenentake sondia vahe zamavareno Juda vahera hara hu'zmantenaku e'ne.
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 Hagi Abija'a Efraemi agona kokampi Zemaraimi agonare oti'neno amanage huno kezanati'ne, Jeroboamugane, maka Israeli vahe'mota kama antahiho!
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 Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'ma hanavenentake huvempage huno, Israeli vahe kini trara Devitine agripinti'ma fore hunante anante'ma hanaza vahe'mokizmi kini tra mevava hugahie huno'ma hu'neana ontahi'nazo?
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 Hianagi korapara Nebati nemofo Jeroboamu, Deviti eri'za nemo otino Deviti nemofo kva ne'a Solomonina hararente'ne.
But Jeroboam, who was [only] an official of David’s son King Solomon, rebelled against his king.
7 Ana'ma nehige'za mago'a kumazafa vahe'mo'za Solomoni nemofo Rehoboamu'na hararente'naze. Hagi ana knafina Rehoboamu'a osi mofavre mani'neankino, ana kezmirera mago zana osu'ne.
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 Hagi kagri'ma ohampriga'a hanave sondia vaheka'a manizageno, havi anumzama golire bulimakao anentama Jeroboamu'ma tro hugami'nea anumzama ante'nana zanku nentahinka, Ra Anumzamo'ma Deviti naga'ma huvempa huno ami'nea kini tra eri atregahue hunka nehano?
“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 Hagi kagra Aroni naga'ene, Livae nagapinti Ra Anumzamofo pristi vahera zmahenatinka, ru mopafi vahe'mo'zama nehazaza hunka, kagra'a pristi vahetami zamazeri oti'nane. Hagi iza'oma mago agaho bulimakaogi, 7ni'a ve sipisipima avrenoma agra'ama azeri ruotge'ma hunaku'ma e'nea vahera, zamavarenka havi anumzamofo pristi vahe zmantanke'za manitere hu'naze.
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 Hianagi tagra, Ra Anumzana Anumzantimofona tamagena huomi'none. Aroni mofavremo'za pristi eri'zana erizageno, Livae naga'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo eri'zana zamaza hu'za e'nerize.
“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 Hagi zamagra mika kna nanterane, kinaganena tare zupa Ra Anumzamofontega ofane mnanentake insensinena kre mna vuntetere nehu'za, Anumzamofo avugama ante bretia goli itare nente'za, golire tro hunte'nea tavi azotare mika kinaga tavira rekru huntetere nehaze. Tagra Ra Anumzamofo amage anteta nevarurunketa, tamagra tamefi agrira humi'naze.
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 Hagi menina antahiho, Anumzamo'a tagri kaziga mani'neankino, pristi vahe'mo'za ha'ma huramante ufe renaku retro hu'za mani'naze. Israeli vahe'mota Ra Anumzana tamafahe'i Anumzamofona ha' reonteho. Na'ankure hara hu ageteoregahaze.
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 Hagi Jeroboamu'a sondia vahetmina huzmantege'za zamefiti hara eme huzmante'naku kafona ome ante'naze. Hagi mago'a sondia vahe'mo'za Juda sondia vahe zamavuga manizage'za, mago'amo'za zamefi kafona eme ante'naze.
[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 Hagi Juda vahe'mo'zama kazana ha' vahe'mo'za zamavugati'ene zamefikati'ene e'naze. Ana'ma hige'za Ra Anumzamofontega zamazama hanigura krafage hazageno, pristi vahe'mo'za ufere'naze.
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 Ana'ma hute'za Juda sondia vahe'mo'za ha'mahu kezati'naze. Hagi Juda vahe'mo'za hahu kezati'za krafagema nehazageno'a, Jeroboamune maka Israeli vahera Anumzamo'a hara huzmanteno, Abijane Juda vahe zamavuga hara huzmagatere'ne.
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 Ana'ma higeno'a, Israeli vahe'mo'za koro frazageno, Anumzamo'a Israeli vahera Juda vahe zamazampi zamavarente'ne.
The soldiers of Israel fled from the soldiers of Judah, and God enabled the army of Judah to defeat them.
17 Hagi Abija'ene Juda vahe'mo'za hanavenentake Israeli sondia vahera tusi vahekrerfa zamahe'nazankino, ana zupa 500 tauseni'a sondia vahe zamahe fri'naze.
Abijah and his troops struck the capable soldiers of Israel and killed 500,000 of them.
18 E'ina hu'za Juda vahe'mo'za Israeli vahera hara huzmagatere'naze. Na'ankure Juda vahe'mo'za zamagra Ra Anumzana zamafahe'i Anumzante zamentintia hu'nazagu anara hu'naze.
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 Ana higeno Abija'ene sondia vahe'amo'za Jeroboamune sondia vahe'a zamahe'za zamarotgo hazage'za nefrage'za mago'a ranra kuma'zmia zamahe'za hanare'ne. E'i ana kumatmina, Beteli rankumaki, Jesana rankumaki, Efroni rankumaki, maka neone kumatmima ana rankumataminte'ma megagi'nea kumatmina zamahe'za hanare'naze.
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 Hagi Abija'ma hanaventino kinima mani'neno'ma kegava hu'nea knafina, Jeroboamu'a mago'enena hihamua erino kinia omanigeno, Ra Anumzamo'a henka ahe fri'ne.
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 Hianagi Abija'a tusiza huno hankavenentake kini efore nehuno, 14ni'a a'ne anteneno, 22'a ne' mofavreraminki, 16ni'a mofanegi huno zamante'ne.
But Abijah became more powerful. He married 14 wives and had 22 sons and 16 daughters.
22 Hagi maka'zama Abijama hu'nea zamofo agenkea kasnampa ne' Ido avontafepi krente'naze.
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.
