2 Seenaa 13
1 Bara mootummaa Yerobiʼaam keessa waggaa kudha saddeettaffaatti Abiyaan mootii Yihuudaa taʼe;
In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
2 innis Yerusaalem keessa jiraatee waggaa sadii ni bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Miikaayaa ture; isheen intala Uuriiʼeel namicha Gibeʼaa sanaa turte. Abiyaa fi Yerobiʼaam gidduu waraanatu ture.
Three years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
3 Abiyaan humna waraanaa kan namoota lola dandaʼan kuma dhibba afur of keessaa qabuun duule; Yerobiʼaam immoo loltoota ciccimoo kuma dhibba saddeetiin baʼee isa eegate.
And Abijah joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, who were mighty men of valor.
4 Abiyaan Gaara Zemaaraayim kan biyya gaaraa Efreem irra dhaabatee akkana jedhe; “Yerobiʼaamii fi Israaʼel hundi mee na dhaggeeffadhaa!
And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said, Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel:
5 Isin akka Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel sun mootummaa Israaʼel Daawitii fi sanyiiwwan isaatiif kakuu soogiddaan bara baraan kenne hin beektanii?
Ought ye not to know that Jehovah, the 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 Taʼus Yerobiʼaam ilmi Nebaat tajaajilaan Solomoon ilma Daawit sun gooftaa isaatti ni fincile.
Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.
7 Yeroo Rehooboʼaam ilmi Solomoon ijoollee waa murteeffachuu fi isaaniin mormuufis dandeettii hin qabneetti kashlabboonni faayidaa hin qabne tokko tokko naannoo isaatti walitti qabamanii isaan morman.
And there were gathered unto him worthless men, base fellows, that strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender-hearted, and could not withstand them.
8 “Isin amma mootummaa Waaqayyoo kan sanyii Daawit harka jiruun mormuuf yaadaa jirtan. Isin dhugumaan tuuta guddaa dha; fakkiiwwan jabbiiwwan warqee kanneen akka isaan waaqota keessan isinii taʼaniif Yerobiʼaam isiniif tolche sanas of biraa qabdu.
And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the sons of David; and ye are a great multitude, and there are with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods.
9 Isin garuu luboota Waaqayyoo, ilmaan Arooniitii fi Lewwota of keessaa baaftanii akkuma namoota biyyoota kaanii luboota ofii keessanii hin muudannee? Namni dibicha loonii tokkoo fi korbeeyyii hoolaa torba qabatee of qulqulleessuu dhufu kam iyyuu waan waaqota hin taʼin sanaaf luba taʼa.
Have ye not driven out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made you priests after the manner of the peoples of [other] lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of [them that are] no gods.
10 “Nuuf garuu Waaqayyo Waaquma keenya; nu isa hin dhiifne. Luboonni Waaqayyoon tajaajilanis ilmaan Aroon; Lewwonni immoo isaan ni gargaaru.
But as for us, Jehovah is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and [we have] priests ministering unto Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work:
11 Isaan ganamaa fi galgala hunda aarsaa gubamuu fi ixaana urgaaʼu Waaqayyoof ni dhiʼeessu. Minjaala akka seeraatti qulqullaaʼe irra buddeena kaaʼanii galgala galgala immoo ibsaa baattuu ibsaa kan warqee irraa hojjetame irra jiru ni qabsiisu. Nu ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa ni eegna; isin garuu isa dhiiftaniirtu.
and they burn unto Jehovah every morning and every evening burnt-offerings 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 Jehovah our God; but ye have forsaken him.
12 Waaqni nu wajjin jira; inni qajeelchaa keenya. Luboonni isaas malakata isaanii afuufanii waraana isinitti ni waamu. Yaa namoota Israaʼel isin hin milkooftaniitii, Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii keessanii hin lolinaa.”
And, behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against Jehovah, the God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.
13 Yerobiʼaam yeroo kanatti akka isaan utuma inni fuula Yihuudaa duraan jiruu karaa dugda duubaatiin isaan marsaniif loltoota isaa jaratti ni erge.
But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.
14 Namoonni Yihuudaa garagalanii akka duraa fi duubaan marfaman ni argan. Isaanis gara Waaqayyootti ni iyyatan; luboonni immoo malakata isaanii ni afuufan;
And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried unto Jehovah, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
15 namoonni Yihuudaas iyya waraanaa ni dhageessisan. Waaqnis iyya isaaniitiin Yerobiʼaamii fi Israaʼeloota hunda fuula Abiyaa fi Yihuudaa duraa ni barbadeesse.
Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16 Israaʼeloonni fuula Yihuudaa duraa ni baqatan; Waaqnis dabarsee harka Yihuudootaatti isaan kenne.
And the children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand.
17 Abiyaa fi namoonni isaa akka malee isaan miidhan; kanaafuu loltoota Israaʼel ciccimoo keessaa namni kuma dhibba shan ni dhume.
And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
18 Lola sana irrattis namoonni Israaʼel akka malee ni dhaʼaman; namoonni Yihuudaa garuu sababii Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaanii abdataniif ni moʼatan.
Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon Jehovah, the God of their fathers.
19 Abiyaanis Yerobiʼaamin ariʼee magaalaawwan Beetʼeel, Yishaanaa fi Efroon, gandoota naannoo isaanii jiran wajjin irraa ni fudhate.
And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Beth-el with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephron with the towns thereof.
20 Yerobiʼaam bara mootummaa Abiyaa keessa deebiʼee bayyanachuu hin dandeenye. Waaqayyo isa dhaʼe; innis ni duʼe.
Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and Jehovah smote him, and he died.
21 Abiyaan garuu jabaachaa ni deeme. Innis niitota kudha afur fuudhee ilmaan digdamii lamaa fi dubara kudha jaʼa ni dhalche.
But Abijah waxed mighty, and took unto himself fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.
22 Wanni Abiyaan bara mootummaa isaa keessa hojjete biraa, waan inni hojjetee fi wanni inni dubbate galmee seenaa raajicha Iddoo keessatti barreeffameera.
And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
