Luo Chronicle 13

1 In yac se aksingoul oalkosr lal Tokosra Jeroboam lun Israel, Abijah el tokosrala lun Judah.

In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.

2 El leum in Jerusalem ke yac tolu. Nina kial pa Micaiah, acn natul Uriel, sie mwet in siti Gibeah. Mweun se srola inmasrlol Abijah ac Jeroboam.

He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Michaiah, the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

3 Abijah el srukak mwet mweun angfoko tausin, ac Jeroboam el lainul ke mwet mweun oalfoko tausin.

And Abijah began the war with an army of men of war, four hundred thousand chosen men; and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, mighty men of valour.

4 Un mwet mweun inge osun infulan eol in acn Ephraim. Tokosra Abijah el utyak Fineol Zemaraim ac pangla nu yorol Jeroboam ac mwet Israel, ac fahk, “Porongo ma nga ac fahk uh!

And Abijah stood up on the top of mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, Jeroboam, and all Israel!

5 Ya kowos nikin lah LEUM GOD lun Israel El tuh orala wulela se nu sel David su tia ku in musalla, mu el ac tulik natul ac fah tokosra fin Israel nwe tok?

Ought ye not to know that Jehovah the God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, to him and to his sons [by] a covenant of salt?

6 Jeroboam, wen natul Nebat, el tuh orek lokoalok lainul Solomon, tokosra lal.

But Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up and rebelled against his lord.

7 Toko, el orani sie un mwet lusrongten, ac elos pahtok lungse lalos nu facl Rehoboam, wen natul Solomon, su srakna fusr ac mwalna ke inkanek in lainulos.

And vain men, sons of Belial, gathered to him and strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, and Rehoboam was young and faint-hearted, and did not shew himself strong against them.

8 Ac inge kowos ako in mweun lain tokosrai se su LEUM GOD El sang nu sin fita lal David. Oasr un mwet mweun lulap lowos, ac oasr pac yuruwos cow mukul fusr orekla ke gold, ma Jeroboam el orala tuh in god lowos.

And now ye think to shew yourselves strong against the kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the sons of David; and ye are a great multitude, and ye have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made you for gods.

9 Kowos lusla mwet tol lun LEUM GOD, su ma in fwil natul Aaron, ac kowos lusla pac mwet Levi. Na kowos srisrngiya mwet in aolulos, oana ouiya su orek in mutunfacl saya. Kutena mwet su use soko cow mukul, ku sheep itkosr, el ku in sifacna oru tuh elan sie mwet tol lun ma su kowos pangon god lowos ingan.

Have ye not cast out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made you priests as the peoples of the lands? whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, he becomes a priest of what is not God.

10 “A funu kut, kut srakna kulansupu LEUM GOD lasr, ac kut tiana fahsr lukel. Mwet tol su ma in fita lal Aaron, elos srakna oru ma kunalos, ac mwet Levi kasrelos.

But as for us, Jehovah is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests that serve Jehovah are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites are at their work:

11 Lotutang nukewa ac eku nukewa elos esukak mwe keng nu sel, ac oru mwe kisa ke kosro ma fonna isisyak. Elos sang mwe kisa bread nu fin sie tepu aknasnasyeyukla fal nu ke oakwuk lun alu. Ac eku nukewa elos akosak lam uh fin sukan lam gold. Kut oru na ma LEUM GOD El sapkin, a kowos sisella.

and they burn to Jehovah every morning and every evening burnt-offerings and sweet incense; the loaves also are set in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with its lamps to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of Jehovah our God; but ye have forsaken him.

12 God sifacna El mwet kol lasr, ac mwet tol lal elos wi kut inge. Elos sruokya mwe ukuk ac akola in ukya in pangon kut nu ke mweun lain kowos. Mwet Israel, nimet kowos mweun lain LEUM GOD lun papa tomowos! Kowos ac tia ku in kutangla!”

And behold, we have God with us at our head, and his priests, and the loud-sounding trumpets to sound an alarm against you. Children of Israel, do not fight with Jehovah the God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.

13 In pacl sac pacna, Jeroboam el tuh supwala kutu sin mwet mweun lal ah in kasrik ut tukun mwet Judah, na mwet lula elos tu meet ac ngetang nu selos.

But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them; and they were before Judah, and the ambush behind them.

14 Mwet Judah elos tapulla ac liye tuh na rauniyukla elos, na elos pang nu sin LEUM GOD Elan kasrelos, ac mwet tol elos ukya mwe ukuk.

And Judah looked back, and behold, they had the battle in front and behind; and they cried to Jehovah, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.

15 Na mwet Judah elos sala ke pusra lulap, ac Abijah el kol mwet inge ke mweun lalos. God El kutangulla Jeroboam ac mwet mweun lun Israel.

And the men of Judah gave a shout; and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

16 Mwet Israel elos kaing liki mwet Judah, ac God El oru tuh mwet mweun lun Judah in arulana ku lukelos.

And the children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand.

17 Abijah ac mwet mweun lal orala kutangla na yohk fin mwet Israel. Mwet lumfoko tausin sin mwet ma pisrla ke mweun lun mwet Israel pa anwuki ke mweun sac.

And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter; and there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.

18 Ouinge mwet Judah elos kutangla mwet Israel, mweyen elos filiya finsrak lalos in LEUM GOD lun papa tumalos.

And the children of Israel were humbled at that time, and the children of Judah were strengthened, because they relied upon Jehovah the God of their fathers.

19 Abijah el ukwe mwet mweun lal Jeroboam ac sruokya siti lal inge: Bethel, Jeshanah, ac Ephron, oayapa inkul ma oan apkuran nu ke kais sie siti inge.

And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him: Bethel with its dependent villages, and Jeshanah with its dependent villages, and Ephron with its dependent villages.

20 Ke lusen pacl Abijah el leum, Jeroboam el tiana sifil ku. Saflaiyel LEUM GOD El unilya, ac el misa.

And Jeroboam did not recover strength again in the days of Abijah; and Jehovah smote him, and he died.

21 Ouinge Abijah el yokyokelik ke ku lal. Oasr mutan singoul akosr kial, ac el papa tumun wen longoul luo ac acn singoul onkosr.

But Abijah strengthened himself, and took fourteen wives, and begot twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.

22 Ma nukewa saya ke sramsram matu kacl Abijah, ma el fahk ac ma el oru, simla ke [Sramsram Matu lal Iddo Mwet Palu.]

And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways and his sayings, are written in the treatise of the prophet Iddo.
