2 Dnevnika 13

1 Godine osamnaeste carovanja Jerovoamova zacari se Avija nad Judom.

Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.

2 Tri godine carova u Jerusalimu. Materi mu bješe ime Mihaja, kæi Urilova iz Gavaje. A bijaše rat izmeðu Avije i Jerovoama.

He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

3 I Avija izide na boj s hrabrom vojskom, èetiri stotine tisuæa izabranijeh vojnika; a Jerovoam uvrsta prema njemu vojsku, osam stotina tisuæa izabranijeh hrabrijeh vojnika.

And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour.

4 I sta Avija navrh brda Semarajima u gori Jefremovoj, i reèe: èujte me, Jerovoame i sav Izrailju!

And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel;

5 Ne trebaše li vam znati da je Gospod Bog Izrailjev predao Davidu carstvo nad Izrailjem dovijeka, njemu i sinovima njegovijem zavjetom osoljenijem?

Ought ye not to know that Yhwh 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 Ali usta Jerovoam sin Navatov, sluga Solomuna sina Davidova, i odvrže se od gospodara svojega.

Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord.

7 I skupiše se k njemu ljudi praznovi i nevaljalci, i odapriješe se Rovoamu sinu Solomunovu, koji bijaše dijete i strašljiva srca, te im se ne odaprije.

And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them.

8 Pa vi sad velite da se oprete carstvu Gospodnjemu, koje je u ruku sinova Davidovijeh, jer vas je mnogo i imate kod sebe zlatne teoce, koje vam je naèinio Jerovoam da su vam bogovi.

And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of Yhwh in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.

9 Nijeste li otjerali sveštenike Gospodnje sinove Aronove i Levite? i naèinili sebi sveštenike kao narodi po drugim zemljama? ko god doðe da mu se posvete ruke s teletom i sa sedam ovnova, postaje sveštenik onima koji nijesu bogovi.

Have ye not cast out the priests of Yhwh, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations 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 Ali s nama je Gospod Bog, niti smo ga ostavili, a sveštenici koji služe Gospodu jesu sinovi Aronovi, i Leviti rade svoj posao;

But as for us, Yhwh is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto Yhwh, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business:

11 I pale Gospodu žrtve paljenice svako jutro i svako veèe, i kade mirisima, i hljebovi postavljeni stoje na èistom stolu, i pale se svako veèe žišci na zlatnom svijetnjaku; jer držimo što je Gospod Bog naš naredio, a vi ga ostaviste.

And they burn unto Yhwh every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the lampstand of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of Yhwh our God; but ye have forsaken him.

12 Zato evo s nama je naprijed Bog i sveštenici njegovi i trube glasne da trube protivu vas. Sinovi Izrailjevi, ne vojujte na Gospoda Boga otaca svojih, jer neæete biti sreæni.

And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against Yhwh God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.

13 Ali Jerovoam zavede zasjedu da im zaðu za leða, i tako Judejcima bijahu sprijed jedni a s leða zasjeda.

But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.

14 I kad se obazreše Judejci, a to boj i sprijed i sastrag, te povikaše ka Gospodu a sveštenici zatrubiše u trube.

And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto Yhwh, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.

15 I narod Judin opet povika, i kad vikaše narod Judin, razbi Bog Jerovoama i svega Izrailja pred Avijom i Judom.

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 I pobjegoše sinovi Izrailjevi od Jude, i dade ih Bog njima u ruke.

And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand.

17 I pobi ih ljuto Avija i narod njegov, i pade od Izrailja pobijenijeh pet stotina tisuæa odabranijeh ljudi.

And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.

18 Tako biše pokoreni sinovi Izrailjevi u to vrijeme, a sinovi Judini osiliše, jer se pouzdaše u Gospoda Boga otaca svojih.

Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon Yhwh God of their fathers.

19 I Avija potjera Jerovoama, i uze mu gradove Vetilj i sela njegova, i Jesanu i sela njezina, i Efron i sela njegova.

And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Beth–el with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof.

20 I Jerovoam se više ne oporavi za života Avijina; i udari ga Gospod, te umrije.

Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: And Yhwh struck him, and he died.

21 A Avija utvrdi se, i uze èetrnaest žena, i rodi dvadeset i dva sina i šesnaest kæeri.

But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.

22 A ostala djela Avijina i putovi njegovi i besjede njegove zapisane su u knjizi proroka Ida.

And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.
