Ii Paralipomenon 13
1 Anno octavodecimo regis Ieroboam, regnavit Abia super Iudam.
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam Abia began to reign over Juda.
2 Tribus annis regnavit in Ierusalem, nomenque matris eius Michaia, filia Uriel de Gabaa: et erat bellum inter Abiam et Ieroboam.
He reigned three years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Maacha, daughter of Uriel of Gabaon. And there was war between Abia and Jeroboam.
3 Cumque iniisset Abia certamen, et haberet bellicosissimos viros, et electorum quadraginta millia: Ieroboam instruxit econtra aciem octoginta millia virorum, qui et ipsi electi erant, et ad bella fortissimi.
And Abia set the battle in array with an army, with mighty men of war, [even] four hundred thousand mighty men: and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand, [they were] mighty warriors of the host.
4 Stetit ergo Abia super montem Semeron, qui erat in Ephraim, et ait: Audi Ieroboam, et omnis Israel.
And Abia rose up from the mount Somoron, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear ye, Jeroboam, and all Israel:
5 Num ignoratis quod Dominus Deus Israel dederit regnum David super Israel in sempiternum, ipsi et filiis eius in pactum salis?
[Is it] not for you to know that the Lord God of Israel has given a king over Israel for ever to David, and to his sons, by a covenant of salt?
6 Et surrexit Ieroboam filius Nabat, servus Salomonis filii David: et rebellavit contra dominum suum.
But Jeroboam the [son] of Nabat, the servant of Solomon [the son] of David, is risen up, and has revolted from his master:
7 Congregatique sunt ad eum viri vanissimi, et filii Belial: et praevaluerunt contra Roboam filium Salomonis: porro Roboam erat rudis, et corde pavido, nec potuit resistere eis.
and there are gathered to him pestilent men, transgressors, and he has risen up against Roboam the [son] of Solomon, while Roboam was young and fearful in heart, and he withstood him not.
8 Nunc ergo vos dicitis quod resistere possitis regno Domini, quod possidet per filios David, habetisque grandem populi multitudinem, atque vitulos aureos, quos fecit vobis Ieroboam in deos.
And now ye profess to resist the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David; and ye [are] a great multitude, and with you are golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.
9 Et eiecistis Sacerdotes Domini, filios Aaron, atque Levitas: et fecistis vobis Sacerdotes sicut omnes populi terrarum: quicumque venerit, et initiaverit manum suam in tauro de bobus, et in arietibus septem, fit sacerdos eorum, qui non sunt dii.
Did ye not cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and make to yourselves priests of the people of any [other] land? whoever came to consecrate himself with a calf of the heard and seven rams, he forthwith became a priest to that which is no god.
10 Noster autem Dominus, Deus est, quem non relinquimus, Sacerdotesque ministrant Domino de filiis Aaron, et Levitae sunt in ordine suo:
But we have not forsaken the Lord our God, and his priests, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, minister to the Lord; and in their daily courses
11 Holocausta quoque offerunt Domino per singulos dies mane et vespere, et thymiama iuxta legis praecepta confectum, et proponuntur panes in mensa mundissima, estque apud nos candelabrum aureum, et lucernae eius, ut accendantur semper ad vesperam: nos quippe custodimus praecepta Domini Dei nostri, quem vos reliquistis.
they sacrifice to the Lord whole-burnt-offering, morning and evening, and compound incense, and [set] the shewbread on the pure table; and [there is] the golden candlestick, and the lamps for burning, to light in the evening: for we keep the charge of the Lord God of our fathers; but ye have forsaken him.
12 Ergo in exercitu nostro dux Deus est, et Sacerdotes eius, qui clangunt tubis, et resonant contra vos: filii Israel nolite pugnare contra Dominum Deum patrum vestrorum, quia non vobis expedit.
And, behold, the Lord and his priests are with us at our head, and the signal trumpets to sound an alarm over us. Children of Israel, fight not against the Lord God of our fathers; for ye shall not prosper.
13 Haec illo loquente, Ieroboam retro moliebatur insidias. Cumque ex adverso hostium staret, ignorantem Iudam suo ambiebat exercitu.
Now Jeroboam had caused an ambush to come round upon him from behind: and he [himself] was before Juda, and the ambush behind.
14 Respiciensque Iudas vidit instare bellum ex adverso et post tergum, et clamavit ad Dominum: ac Sacerdotes tubis canere coeperunt.
And Juda looked back, and, behold, the battle [was] against them before and behind: and they cried to the Lord, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
15 Omnesque viri Iuda vociferati sunt: et ecce illis clamantibus, perterruit Deus Ieroboam, et omnem Israel qui stabat ex adverso Abia et Iuda.
And the men of Juda shouted: and it came to pass, when the men of Juda shouted, that the Lord smote Jeroboam and Israel before Abia and Juda.
16 Fugeruntque filii Israel Iudam, et tradidit eos Deus in manu eorum.
And the children of Israel fled from before Juda; and the Lord delivered them into their hands.
17 Percussit ergo eos Abia, et populus eius plaga magna: et corruerunt vulnerati ex Israel quinquaginta millia virorum fortium.
And Abia and his people smote them with a great slaughter: and there fell slain of Israel five hundred thousand mighty men.
18 Humiliatique sunt filii Israel in tempore illo, et vehementissime confortati filii Iuda eo quod sperassent in Domino Deo patrum suorum.
So the children of Israel were brought low in that day, and the children of Juda prevailed, because they trusted on the Lord God of their fathers.
19 Persecutus est autem Abia fugientem Ieroboam, et cepit civitates eius, Bethel et filias eius, et Iesana cum filiabus suis, Ephron quoque et filias eius:
And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and he took from him the cities, Baethel and her towns, and Jesyna and her towns, and Ephron and her towns.
20 nec valuit ultra resistere Ieroboam in diebus Abia: quem percussit Dominus, et mortuus est.
And Jeroboam did not recover strength again all the days of Abia: and the Lord smote him, and he died.
21 Igitur Abia, confortato imperio suo, accepit uxores quattuordecim: procreavitque viginti duos filios, et sedecim filias.
But Abia strengthened himself, and took to himself fourteen wives, and he begot twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters.
22 Reliqua autem sermonum Abia, viarumque et operum eius, scripta sunt diligentissime in Libro Addo Prophetae.
And the rest of the acts of Abia, and his deeds, and his sayings, are written in the book of the prophet Addo.
