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.

Three years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Micaiah 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 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 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 the hill country of Ephraim, and said, Hear me, O 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 the LORD, the 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, 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 there were gathered unto him vain men, sons of Belial, which strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender-hearted, 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 ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with you the 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 ye not driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the peoples of [other] lands? so that whosoever cometh 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 [we have] priests ministering unto the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in 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 unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense: the shewbread 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 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, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD, 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 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 them: 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 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: 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, 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, Beth-el with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephron 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 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 waxed mighty, and took unto himself fourteen wives, and begat 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 commentary of the prophet Iddo.
