2 Dnevnika 13

1 Godine osamnaeste carovanja Jerovoamova zacari se Avija nad Judom.

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.

three years, reigned he in Jerusalem, and, the name of his mother, was Maacah, 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 began the war with a force of heroes of war, four hundred thousand chosen men, —and, Jeroboam, set in array against him to battle, with eight hundred thousand chosen men, heroes 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 the hill country of Ephraim, —and said, Hear me, O 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?

Is it not yours to know, that, Yahweh God of Israel gave the kingdom to David, over Israel, unto times age-abiding, —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 hath Jeroboam son of Nebat, servant of Solomon son of David, risen up, —and 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, sons of the Abandoned One, who emboldened themselves against Rehoboam son of Solomon, -when, Rehoboam, was young and tender of heart, and had not strengthened himself to meet 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.

Now, therefore, ye, are thinking to strengthen yourselves against the kingdom of Yahweh, in the hand of the sons of David, —and, ye, are a great multitude, and, with you, are calves of gold, which Jeroboam hath 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 driven out the priests of Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, —and made for yourselves priests like the peoples of the countries? Whosoever cometh to install himself with a young bullock, and seven rams, then becometh he a priest unto the, 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, Yahweh, is our God, and we have not forsaken him, —and, the priests who are waiting upon Yahweh, are sons of Aaron, with Levites in the work;

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 are making a perfume unto Yahweh, with ascending-sacrifices morning by morning, and evening by evening and an incense of sweet spices, and are putting in order bread upon the pure table, and the lampstand of gold with the lamps thereof, for lighting up evening by evening, for, observant, are we of the charge of Yahweh our God, —whereas, 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 lo! with us as Head, is God himself, and his priests, and the trumpets of alarm, to sound an alarm against you, —O sons of Israel! do not fight against Yahweh 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, sent round an ambush, to come up from behind them, —so they were before Judah and, the ambush, did come up from 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 turned and lo! as for them, the battle was before and behind, then made they outcry unto Yahweh, —and, the priests, kept on blowing 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 it came to pass, when the men of Judah shouted, then, God himself, 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 sons of Israel fled from 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 smote among them with a great smiting, —and 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 were the sons of Israel subdued at that time, —and the sons of Judah prevailed, because they leaned upon Yahweh the 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 captured from him, cities, even Bethel, with the villages thereof, and Jeshanah, with the villages thereof, —and Ephron, with the villages thereof;

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

neither was Jeroboam strong any more, in the days of Abijah, —and Yahweh smote him that he died.

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

And Abijah strengthened himself, and took him, fourteen wives, —and begat twenty-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 story of Abijah, both his ways and his words, —are written, in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
