2 Seenaa 13
1 Bara mootummaa Yerobiʼaam keessa waggaa kudha saddeettaffaatti Abiyaan mootii Yihuudaa taʼe;
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam Abia began to reign over Juda.
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 years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Maacha, daughter of Uriel of Gabaon. And there was war between Abia 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 Abia set the battle in array with an army, with mighty men of war, [even] four hundred thousand mighty men: and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand, [they were] mighty warriors of the host.
4 Abiyaan Gaara Zemaaraayim kan biyya gaaraa Efreem irra dhaabatee akkana jedhe; “Yerobiʼaamii fi Israaʼel hundi mee na dhaggeeffadhaa!
And Abia rose up from the mount Somoron, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear you, Jeroboam, and all Israel:
5 Isin akka Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel sun mootummaa Israaʼel Daawitii fi sanyiiwwan isaatiif kakuu soogiddaan bara baraan kenne hin beektanii?
[Is it] not for you to know that the Lord God of Israel has given a king over Israel for ever to David, and to his sons, by a covenant of salt?
6 Taʼus Yerobiʼaam ilmi Nebaat tajaajilaan Solomoon ilma Daawit sun gooftaa isaatti ni fincile.
But Jeroboam the [son] of Nabat, the servant of Solomon [the son] of David, is risen up, and has revolted from his master:
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 pestilent men, transgressors, and he has risen up against Roboam the [son] of Solomon, while Roboam was young and fearful in heart, and he withstood him not.
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 you profess to resist the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David; and you [are] a great multitude, and with you are 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.
Did you not cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and make to yourselves priests of the people of any [other] land? whoever came to consecrate himself with a calf of the heard and seven rams, he forthwith became a priest to that which is no god.
10 “Nuuf garuu Waaqayyo Waaquma keenya; nu isa hin dhiifne. Luboonni Waaqayyoon tajaajilanis ilmaan Aroon; Lewwonni immoo isaan ni gargaaru.
But we have not forsaken the Lord our God, and his priests, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, minister to the Lord; and in their daily courses
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.
they sacrifice to the Lord whole burnt offering, morning and evening, and compound incense, and [set] the show bread on the pure table; and [there is] the golden candlestick, and the lamps for burning, to light in the evening: for we keep the charge of the Lord God of our fathers; but you 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, the Lord and his priests are with us at our head, and the signal trumpets to sound an alarm over us. Children of Israel, fight not against the Lord God of our fathers; for you 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.
Now Jeroboam had caused an ambush to come round upon him from behind: and he [himself] was before Juda, and the ambush behind.
14 Namoonni Yihuudaa garagalanii akka duraa fi duubaan marfaman ni argan. Isaanis gara Waaqayyootti ni iyyatan; luboonni immoo malakata isaanii ni afuufan;
And Juda looked back, and, behold, the battle [was] against them before and behind: and they cried to the Lord, 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.
And the men of Juda shouted: and it came to pass, when the men of Juda shouted, that the Lord struck Jeroboam and Israel before Abia and Juda.
16 Israaʼeloonni fuula Yihuudaa duraa ni baqatan; Waaqnis dabarsee harka Yihuudootaatti isaan kenne.
And the children of Israel fled from before Juda; and the Lord delivered them into their hands.
17 Abiyaa fi namoonni isaa akka malee isaan miidhan; kanaafuu loltoota Israaʼel ciccimoo keessaa namni kuma dhibba shan ni dhume.
And Abia and his people struck them with a great slaughter: and there fell slain of Israel five hundred thousand mighty 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 low in that day, and the children of Juda prevailed, because they trusted on the Lord God of their fathers.
19 Abiyaanis Yerobiʼaamin ariʼee magaalaawwan Beetʼeel, Yishaanaa fi Efroon, gandoota naannoo isaanii jiran wajjin irraa ni fudhate.
And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and he took from him the cities, Baethel and her towns, and Jesyna and her towns, and Ephron and her towns.
20 Yerobiʼaam bara mootummaa Abiyaa keessa deebiʼee bayyanachuu hin dandeenye. Waaqayyo isa dhaʼe; innis ni duʼe.
And Jeroboam did not recover strength again all the days of Abia: and the Lord struck 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 Abia strengthened himself, and took to himself fourteen wives, and he begot twenty-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 Abia, and his deeds, and his sayings, are written in the book of the prophet Addo.
