2 Krønikebok 13
1 I det attande styringsåret åt Jeroboam vart Abia konge yver Juda;
In the eighteenth year of king Jerobo'am became Abiyah king over Judah.
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 Michayahu the daughter of Uriel of Gib'ah. And there was war between Abiyah and Jerobo'am.
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 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 Men Abia gjekk upp på Semarajimberget i Efraimsfjelli og sagde: «Høyr meg Jeroboam og heile Israel!
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 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.
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 Men Jeroboam Nebatsson, trælen åt Salomo Davidsson, reiste seg og gjorde upprør mot herren sin.
But there rose up Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, 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 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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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 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 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!»
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 Men Jeroboam hadde late deim som låg i baklur kringganga deim soleis at Juda-mennerne hadde deim fyre seg og baklur-mennerne i ryggen.
But Jerobo'am caused an ambush to come around behind them: so they themselves were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them.
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 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 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 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 Israels-sønerne rømde for Juda, og Gud gav deim i deira vald.
And the children of Israel fled from before Judah, and God gave them up into their hand.
17 Og Abia og folket hans gjorde stort tjon på deim, so det fall fem hundrad tusund stridsmenner av Israel.
And Abiyah and his people smote them with a great defeat, and there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
18 På den tid vart Israels-sønerne audmjukte, men Juda-mennerne kom til magt, for dei studde seg til Herren, sin fedregud.
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 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 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 Jeroboam kom aldri til magt meir so lenge Abia livde, og Herren slo honom, so han døydde.
And Jerobo'am did not recover strength again in the days of Abiyahu: 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 Abiyahu became strong, and he took himself fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two 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 Abiyah, and his ways, and his speeches, are written in the writing of the prophet 'Iddo.
