2 Seenaa 13

1 Bara mootummaa Yerobiʼaam keessa waggaa kudha saddeettaffaatti Abiyaan mootii Yihuudaa taʼe;

In the eyghteenth yeere of King Ieroboam began Abiiah to reigne ouer Iudah.

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.

He reigned three yere in Ierusalem: (his mothers name also was Michaiah the daughter of Vriel of Gibea) and there was warre betweene Abiiah and Ieroboam.

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 Abiiah set the battel in aray with the armie of valiant men of warre, euen foure hundreth thousand chosen men. Ieroboam also set the battell in aray against him with eight hundreth thousande chosen men which were strong and valiant.

4 Abiyaan Gaara Zemaaraayim kan biyya gaaraa Efreem irra dhaabatee akkana jedhe; “Yerobiʼaamii fi Israaʼel hundi mee na dhaggeeffadhaa!

And Abiiah stood vp vpon mount Zemeraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and sayde, O Ieroboam, and all Israel, heare you me,

5 Isin akka Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel sun mootummaa Israaʼel Daawitii fi sanyiiwwan isaatiif kakuu soogiddaan bara baraan kenne hin beektanii?

Ought you not to know that the Lord God of Israel hath giuen the kingdome ouer Israel to Dauid for euer, euen to him and to his sonnes by a couenant of salt?

6 Taʼus Yerobiʼaam ilmi Nebaat tajaajilaan Solomoon ilma Daawit sun gooftaa isaatti ni fincile.

And Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat the seruant of Salomon the sonne of Dauid is risen vp, and hath 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 are gathered to him vayne men and wicked, and made themselues strong against Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon: for Rehoboam was but a childe and tender hearted, and coulde not resist 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.

Now therefore ye thinke that yee be able to resist against the kingdome of the Lord, which is in the handes of the sonnes of Dauid, and ye bee a great multitude, and the golden calues are with you which Ieroboam 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.

Haue ye not driuen away the Priestes of the Lord the sonnes of Aaron and the Leuites, and haue made you Priests like the people of other countreis? whosoeuer commeth to consecrate with a yong bullocke and seuen 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 wee belong vnto the Lord our God, and haue not forsaken him, and the Priestes the sonnes of Aaron minister vnto the Lord, and the Leuites in their office.

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 burne vnto the Lord euery morning and euery euening burnt offerings and sweete incense, and the breade is set in order vpon the pure table, and the candlesticke of golde with the lampes thereof, to burne euery euening: for we keepe the watch of the Lord our God: but ye haue 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, this God is with vs, as a captaine, and his Priests with the sounding trumpets, to crie an alarme against you. O yee children of Israel, fight not against the Lord 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 Ieroboam caused an ambushment to compasse, and come behind them, when they were before Iudah, and the ambushment behinde them.

14 Namoonni Yihuudaa garagalanii akka duraa fi duubaan marfaman ni argan. Isaanis gara Waaqayyootti ni iyyatan; luboonni immoo malakata isaanii ni afuufan;

Then Iudah looked, and beholde, the battel was before and behinde them, and they cried vnto the Lord, and the Priests blewe with the trumpets,

15 namoonni Yihuudaas iyya waraanaa ni dhageessisan. Waaqnis iyya isaaniitiin Yerobiʼaamii fi Israaʼeloota hunda fuula Abiyaa fi Yihuudaa duraa ni barbadeesse.

And the men of Iudah gaue a shoute: and euen as the men of Iudah shouted, God smote Ieroboam and also Israel before Abiiah and Iudah.

16 Israaʼeloonni fuula Yihuudaa duraa ni baqatan; Waaqnis dabarsee harka Yihuudootaatti isaan kenne.

And the children of Israel fledde before Iudah, and God deliuered them into their hande.

17 Abiyaa fi namoonni isaa akka malee isaan miidhan; kanaafuu loltoota Israaʼel ciccimoo keessaa namni kuma dhibba shan ni dhume.

And Abiiah and his people slewe a great slaughter of them, so that there fel downe wounded of Israel fiue hundreth thousand chosen men.

18 Lola sana irrattis namoonni Israaʼel akka malee ni dhaʼaman; namoonni Yihuudaa garuu sababii Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaanii abdataniif ni moʼatan.

So the children of Israel were brought vnder at that time: and the children of Iudah preuailed, because they stayed vpon the Lord God of their fathers.

19 Abiyaanis Yerobiʼaamin ariʼee magaalaawwan Beetʼeel, Yishaanaa fi Efroon, gandoota naannoo isaanii jiran wajjin irraa ni fudhate.

And Abiiah pursued after Ieroboam, and tooke cities from him, euen Beth-el, and the villages thereof, and Ieshanah with her villages, and Ephron with her villages.

20 Yerobiʼaam bara mootummaa Abiyaa keessa deebiʼee bayyanachuu hin dandeenye. Waaqayyo isa dhaʼe; innis ni duʼe.

And Ieroboam recouered no strength againe in the dayes of Abiiah, but the Lord plagued him, and he dyed.

21 Abiyaan garuu jabaachaa ni deeme. Innis niitota kudha afur fuudhee ilmaan digdamii lamaa fi dubara kudha jaʼa ni dhalche.

So Abiiah waxed mightie, and marryed foureteene wiues, and begate two and twentie sonnes, and sixteene daughters.

22 Wanni Abiyaan bara mootummaa isaa keessa hojjete biraa, waan inni hojjetee fi wanni inni dubbate galmee seenaa raajicha Iddoo keessatti barreeffameera.

The rest of the actes of Abiiah and his maners and his sayings are written in the storie of the Prophet Iddo.
