Luo Chronicle 13

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

Now 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. His mother's name also 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 set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being 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 upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, you 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 all of you not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?

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

Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, has risen up, and has 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 there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand 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 all of you think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and all of you be a great multitude, and there are with your golden calves, which 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 all of you not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods.

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, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business:

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 unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the showbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but all of you 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, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight all of you not against the LORD God of your fathers; for all of you 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 ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was 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 when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto the LORD, 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.

Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God stroke 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: so 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.

Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD 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 the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephraim with the towns thereof.

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

Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck 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 waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and brings forth twenty and 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 story of the prophet Iddo.
