2 Tantara 13
1 Ie amy taom-paha-folo-valo’ ambi’ Iarovamey le niorotse nifehe Iehodà t’i Abiià.
Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
2 Telo taoñe ty nifehea’e e Ierosalaime ao; i Mikaià ana’ i Oriele nte-Gibà ty tahinan-drene’e. Nifañotakotake t’i Abiià naho Iarovame.
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 Nifanontoñe hialy t’i Abiià reketse mpirimbon-dahindefoñe mahimbañe, ondaty jinoboñe efats-etse; naho nilahatse hifañatreatre ama’e t’Iarovame rekets’ ondaty jinoboñe valo-hetse, ondaty maozatse nahasibeke.
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 Nijohañe an-kaboa’ i Tsemaraime t’i Abiià am-bohibohi’ i Efraime eo, nanao ty hoe: Janjiño iraho ry Iarovame naho Israele iabio;
And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, you Jeroboam, and all Israel;
5 tsy ho napota’ areo hao te natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele amy Davide ho nainai’e donia ty fifeheañe Israele, ama’e naho amo ana-dahi’eo am-pañinan-tsira?
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 Fe nitroatse t’Iarovame ana’ i Nebate, mpitoro’ i Selomò ana’ i Davide vaho niola amy Talè’ey.
Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, has risen up, and has rebelled against his lord.
7 Niropak’ ama’e ondaty tsy manjofakeo, ana’ i Beliale, naozatse te amy Rekoboame ana’ i Selomò, ie mbe nitora’e naho tso-po t’i Rekoboame vaho tsy nahafiatreatre.
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 Aa he mitsakore ty hoe nahareo t’ie hahafitroatse amy fifehea’ Iehovà am-pità’ o ana’ i Davideoy; ie valobohòke vasiañeñe vaho ama’ areo o bania volamena niranjie’ Iarovame ho ‘ndrahare’ areoo.
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 Tsy fa rinoa’ areo hao o mpisoro’ Iehovào, o ana’ i Aharoneo, o nte-Levio vaho nañoriza’ areo mpisoroñe an-tsata’ ondaty an-tane ila’e añe? Aa ndra ia’ia miheo mb’eo hañori-vatañe reketse bania naho añondrilahy fito, le minjare mpisoron ‘drahare tsie.
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 Fa naho zahay, Iehovà ro Andrianañahare’ay, le tsy naforintse’ay vaho amam-pisoroñe mitoroñe Iehovà, toe mitoloñ’ amo fitoloña’ iareoo o ana’ i Aharoneo naho o nte-Levio,
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 ie misoroñe am’ Iehovà boa-maraindray naho hariva, soroñe naho emboke mañitse; naho mampidadañe i mofo miatrekey amy latabatse hiringiri’ey; naho mamelome o jiro am-pitàn-jiro volamenao boa-kariva, amy te tana’ay ty namantoha’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay; fe nifarie’ areo.
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 Aa le oniño te mindre ama’ay ho mpiaolo anay t’i Andrianañahare naho mitan-trompetra fañatahatañe o mpisoro’eo, hivolan-kekoheko ama’ areo. O ry ana’ Israeleo, ko mialy am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ areo fa tsy hiraorao.
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 Fe nampamandroñe’ Iarovame ty hiboak’ am-boho ao; aa le eo o aolo’ Iehodào vaho amboho ao o mpamandroñeo.
But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.
14 Aa ie nitolik-amboho t’Iehodà, hehe te aolo naho amboho i hotakotakey; aa le nitoreo am’ Iehovà iereo vaho nitiofe’ o mpisoroñeo o trompetrao.
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 Nampipoña-pazak’ amy zao o nte-Iehodao; aa ie nipazapazake o nte-Iehodao, le nifetsake te linihin’ Añahare t’Iarovame naho Israele iaby añatrefa’ i Abiià naho Iehoda eo,
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 naho nitriban-day añatrefa’ Iehodà eo o ana’ Israeleo vaho tinolon’ Añahare am-pità’ iareo.
And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand.
17 Zinama’ i Abiià naho ondati’eo am-pizamanañe ra’elahy, kanao lime-hetse am’ondaty jinoboñeo ty nitsingoron-ko vetrake.
And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
18 Aa le nampiambanèñe o ana’ Israeleo henane zay vaho nandreketse o ana’ Iehodao ami’ty niatoa’ iareo am’ Iehovà, Andrianañaharen-droae’ iareo.
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 Nihoridañe’ i Abiià t’Iarovame, le nandrambesa’e rova: i Betele rekets’ o tanà’eo naho Iesanà rekets’ o tanà’eo vaho i Efrone rekets’ o tanà’eo.
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 Tsy nahafitroatse ka t’Iarovame tañ’ andro’ i Abiià; le zinevo’ Iehovà re vaho nihomake.
Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died.
21 Fe nihamaozatse t’i Abiià, le nañenga valy folo efats’ amby vaho nisamak’ ana-dahy roapolo-ro’ amby naho anak’ampela folo-eneñ’amby.
But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and brings forth twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.
22 Le o fitoloña’ i Abiìao naho o sata’eo naho o lañona’eo, tsy fa sinokitse amy fibejaña’ Idò mpitokiy hao?
And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.
