Ii Paralipomenon 13

1 anno octavodecimo regis Hieroboam regnavit Abia super Iudam

In the eighteenth year of king Jerobo'am became Abiyah king over Judah.

2 tribus annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomenque matris eius Michaia filia Urihel de Gabaa et erat bellum inter Abia et Hieroboam

Three years he reigned in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Michayahu the daughter of Uriel of Gib'ah. And there was war between Abiyah and Jerobo'am.

3 cumque inisset Abia certamen et haberet bellicosissimos viros et electorum quadringenta milia Hieroboam instruxit e contra aciem octingenta milia virorum qui et ipsi electi erant et ad bella fortissimi

And Abiyah joined the battle with an army of valiant men of war, even of four hundred thousand chosen men: Jerobo'am also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valor.

4 stetit igitur Abia super montem Someron qui erat in Ephraim et ait audi Hieroboam et omnis Israhel

And Abiyah stood up above mount Zemarayim, which is in the mountain of Ephraim, and said, Hear me, O Jerobo'am, and all Israel;

5 num ignoratis quod Dominus Deus Israhel dederit regnum David super Israhel in sempiternum ipsi et filiis eius pactum salis

Ought ye not to know that the Lord the God of Israel hath given the kingdom over Israel to David for eternity, yea, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salts?

6 et surrexit Hieroboam filius Nabath servus Salomonis filii David et rebellavit contra dominum suum

But there rose up Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, and rebelled against his lord.

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 were gathered unto him idle men, worthless persons, and put themselves in violent resistance against Rehobo'am the son of Solomon: while Rehobo'am was young and tender hearted, and could not sustain himself before them.

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 Hieroboam in deos

And now ye think to sustain yourselves before 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 Jerobo'am hath made for you as 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 in bubus et in arietibus septem fit sacerdos eorum qui non sunt dii

Have ye not cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made yourselves priests like the people of the [various] lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams can become a priest to things that are no gods?

10 noster autem Dominus Deus est quem non relinquimus sacerdotesque ministrant Domino de filiis Aaron et Levitae sunt in ordine suo

But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, who minister unto the Lord, are the sons of Aaron; and the Levites are at their [appointed] work;

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

And they burn unto the Lord burnt-offerings every morning and every evening and incense of sweet spices; and the rows of the show-bread [do they place] upon the pure table; and there is the candlestick of gold with its lamps, to light the same every evening; for we keep the charge of the Lord our God, while ye have truly forsaken him.

12 ergo in exercitu nostro dux Deus est et sacerdotes eius qui clangunt tubis et resonant contra vos filii Israhel nolite pugnare contra Dominum Deum patrum vestrorum quia non vobis expedit

And, behold, with us at our head, is the [true] God, with his priests with trumpets for blowing the alarm, to sound an alarm against you. O children of Israel, do not fight against the Lord the God of your fathers; for ye will not prosper.

13 haec illo loquente Hieroboam retro moliebatur insidias cumque ex adverso hostium staret ignorantem Iudam suo ambiebat exercitu

But Jerobo'am caused an ambush to come around behind them: so they themselves were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them.

14 respiciensque Iudas vidit instare bellum ex adverso et post tergum et clamavit ad Dominum ac sacerdotes tubis canere coeperunt

And when Judah turned round, behold, they had the battle before and behind: and they cried unto the Lord, and the priests blew with the trumpets.

15 omnesque viri Iuda vociferati sunt et ecce illis clamantibus perterruit Deus Hieroboam et omnem Israhel qui stabat ex adverso Abia et Iuda

And then gave the men of Judah a shout: and it came to pass, as the men of Judah shouted, that God struck down Jerobo'am and all Israel before Abiyah and Judah.

16 fugeruntque filii Israhel Iudam et tradidit eos Deus in manu eorum

And the children of Israel fled from before Judah, and God gave them up into their hand.

17 percussit ergo eos Abia et populus eius plaga magna et corruerunt vulnerati ex Israhel quingenta milia virorum fortium

And Abiyah and his people smote them with a great defeat, and there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.

18 humiliatique sunt filii Israhel in tempore illo et vehementissime confortati filii Iuda eo quod sperassent in Domino Deo patrum suorum

Thus were the children of Israel humbled at that time: and the children of Judah became powerful, because they relied upon the Lord the God of their fathers.

19 persecutus est autem Abia fugientem Hieroboam et cepit civitates eius Bethel et filias eius et Hiesena cum filiabus suis Ephron quoque et filias eius

And Abiyah made pursuit after Jerobo'am, and captured cities from him, Bethel with its villages, and Jeshanah with its villages, and 'Ephrayin with its villages.

20 nec valuit ultra resistere Hieroboam in diebus Abia quem percussit Dominus et mortuus est

And Jerobo'am did not recover strength again in the days of Abiyahu: and the Lord struck him, and he died.

21 igitur Abia confortato imperio suo accepit uxores quattuordecim procreavitque viginti duos filios et sedecim filias

But Abiyahu became strong, and he took himself fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.

22 reliqua autem sermonum Abia viarumque et operum eius scripta sunt diligentissime in libro prophetae Addo

And the rest of the acts of Abiyah, and his ways, and his speeches, are written in the writing of the prophet 'Iddo.
