2 Krønikebok 13
1 I det attande styringsåret åt Jeroboam vart Abia konge yver Juda;
In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abia reigned over Juda.
2 tri år styrde han i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Mikaja Urielsdotter og var frå Gibea. Det var ufred millom Abia og Jeroboam.
Three years he reigned in Jerusalem, and his mother’s name was Michaia, the daughter of Uriel of Gabaa: and there was war between Abia and Jeroboam.
3 Abia byrja striden med ein her av djerve stridsmenner, fire hundrad tusund utvalde menner, men Jeroboam møtte honom med åtte hundrad tusund utvalde menner, som var djerve stridsmenner.
And when Abia had begun battle, and had with him four hundred thousand most valiant and chosen men, Jeroboam put his army in array against him, eight hundred thousand men, who were also chosen and most valiant for war.
4 Men Abia gjekk upp på Semarajimberget i Efraimsfjelli og sagde: «Høyr meg Jeroboam og heile Israel!
And Abia stood upon mount Semeron, which was in Ephraim, and said: Hear me, O Jeroboam, and all Israel:
5 De veit då vel at Herren, Israels Gud, hev gjeve kongedømet yver Israel for alle tider til David og hans søner ved ei ubrjotande semja.
Do you not know that the Lord God of Israel gave to David the kingdom over Israel for ever, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
6 Men Jeroboam Nebatsson, trælen åt Salomo Davidsson, reiste seg og gjorde upprør mot herren sin.
And Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up: and rebelled against his lord.
7 Og kring honom samla det seg lause karar, skamløysor, som tråssa Rehabeam, son åt Salomo, og Rehabeam var ung og veiklyndt og kunde ikkje halda seg imot deim.
And there were gathered to him vain men, and children of Belial: and they prevailed against Roboam the son of Solomon: for Roboam was unexperienced, and of a fearful heart, and could not resist them.
8 Og no trur de at de kann tråssa Herrens kongedøme, som ligg til Davids søner, for di det er ein stor hop av dykk, og det hev hjå dykk dei gullkalvarne som Jeroboam let gjera til gudar for dykk.
And now you say that you are able to withstand the kingdom of the Lord, which he possesseth by the sons of David, and you have a great multitude of people, and golden calves, which Jeroboam hath made you for gods.
9 Hev de ikkje jaga burt Herrens prestar, sønerne åt Aron, og levitarne, og rådt dykk til prestar liksom hedningfolki? Kvar den som kom med ein ung ukse og sju verar til prestevigsla, han vert prest for u-gudarne.
And you have cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites: and you have made you priests, like all the nations of the earth: whosoever cometh and consecrateth his hand with a bullock of the herd, and with seven rams, is made a priest of those who are no gods.
10 Men Herren er vår Gud, og me hev ikkje vendt oss frå honom; sønerne åt Aron er prestar for Herren, og levitarne gjer tenesta.
But the Lord is our God, whom we forsake not, and the priests who minister to the Lord are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites are in their order.
11 Kvar morgon og kvar kveld let dei brennofferi ganga upp i røyk med finangande røykjelse, skodebrødi ligg på gullbordet, og gull-ljosestaken med lamporne kveikjer dei kveld etter kveld; for me agtar på fyresegnerne åt Herren, vår Gud, men de hev vendt dykk frå honom.
And they offer holocausts to the Lord, every day, morning and evening, and incense made according to the ordinance of the law, and the leaves are set forth on a most clean table, and there is with us the golden candlestick, and the lamps thereof, to be lighted always in the evening: for we keep the precepts of the Lord our God, whom you have forsaken.
12 Sjå, Gud er føraren hjå oss og me hev prestarne hans med alarmlurarne, og dei skal blåsa til strid mot dykk. Israels søner, gjev dykk ikkje i strid med Herren, vår fedregud, for då skal de ikkje hava lukka med dykk!»
Therefore God is the leader in our army, and his priests who sound with trumpets, and resound against you: O children of Israel, fight not against the Lord the God of your fathers, for it is not good for you.
13 Men Jeroboam hadde late deim som låg i baklur kringganga deim soleis at Juda-mennerne hadde deim fyre seg og baklur-mennerne i ryggen.
While he spoke these things, Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind him. And while he stood facing the enemies, he encompassed Juda. who perceived it not, with his army.
14 Då no Juda-mennerne snudde seg rundt, og såg at åtaket truga deim både framantil og attantil, då ropa deim til Herren; men prestarne bles i lurarne.
And when Juda looked back, they saw the battle coming upon them both before and behind, and they cried to the Lord: and the priests began to sound with the trumpets.
15 Og Juda-mennerne sette i med herrop. Og då Juda-mennerne sette i med herropet, då slo Gud Jeroboam og heile Israel for augo på Abia og Juda.
And all the men of Juda shouted: and behold when they shouted, God terrified Jeroboam, and all Israel that stood against Abia and Juda.
16 Israels-sønerne rømde for Juda, og Gud gav deim i deira vald.
And the children of Israel fled before Juda, and the Lord delivered them into their hand.
17 Og Abia og folket hans gjorde stort tjon på deim, so det fall fem hundrad tusund stridsmenner av Israel.
And Abia and his people slew them with a great slaughter, and there fell wounded of Israel five hundred thousand valiant men.
18 På den tid vart Israels-sønerne audmjukte, men Juda-mennerne kom til magt, for dei studde seg til Herren, sin fedregud.
And the children of Israel were brought down, at that time, and the children of Juda were exceedingly strengthened, because they had trusted in the Lord the God of their fathers.
19 Og Abia forfylgde Jeroboam og tok ifrå honom nokre byar; det var Betel og grenderne kringum, Jesana og grenderne kringum og Efron og grenderne kringum.
And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel and her daughters, and Jesana with her daughters, Ephron also and her daughters.
20 Jeroboam kom aldri til magt meir so lenge Abia livde, og Herren slo honom, so han døydde.
And Jeroboam was not able to resist any more, in the days of Abia: and the Lord struck him, and he died.
21 Men Abia vart megtig. Han tok seg fire konor og vart far til tvo og tjugeto søner og sekstan døtter.
But Abia, being strengthened in his kingdom, took fourteen wives: and begot two and twenty sons, and sixteen daughters.
22 Det som elles er å fortelja um Abia, um hans ferd og ord, er uppskrive i utleggjingi åt profeten Iddo.
And the rest of the acts of Abia, and of his ways and works, are written diligently in the book of Addo the prophet.
