Вторая книга Паралипоменон 13
1 В лето осмоенадесять царства Иеровоамля воцарися Авиа над Иудою:
When Jeroboam had been ruling [Israel] for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
2 три лета царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матери его Мааха дщерь Уриилева от Гаваона. И бе брань между Иеровоамом и между Авиею.
He ruled in Jerusalem for three years. His mother was Micaiah (OR, Maacah), the daughter of Uriel from Gibeah [town]. There was a war between [the armies of] Abijah and Jeroboam.
3 И ополчися Авиа в силе воинския силы, в четырех стах тысящах мужей сильных: Иеровоам же устрои сопротиву его брань во осми стах тысящах мужей военных крепких силою.
Abijah went into the battle, taking 400,000 of his capable soldiers, and Jeroboam prepared to fight them, taking 800,000 of his capable troops.
4 Ста же Авиа на горе Сомори, яже есть на горе Ефремли, и рече: слышите Иеровоам и весь Израиль:
Abijah stood on the top of Zemaraim Mountain, which is in the hilly area that belonged to the tribe of Ephraim, and he shouted, “Jeroboam and all you other people of Israel, listen to me!
5 или не весте, яко Господь Бог Израилев даде царство Давиду над Израилем во веки и сыновом его в завет вечен?
You should know that Yahweh, the God to whom all we Israelis belong, has appointed David and his descendants to be the kings of Israel forever. He has confirmed that by making a permanent agreement.
6 И воста Иеровоам сын Наватов, раб Соломона сына Давидова, и отвержеся от господина своего:
But Jeroboam, who was [only] an official of David’s son King Solomon, rebelled against his king.
7 и собрашася к нему мужие пагубнии, сынове законопреступнии, и воста противу Ровоама сына Соломонова, Ровоам же бе юнейший и сердцем страшлив, и не возможе противостати лицу его:
And when Solomon’s son Rehoboam became king and was still young and inexperienced, a group of worthless scoundrels gathered around you, Jeroboam, and rebelled against Rehoboam.
8 и ныне вы глаголете противостати лицу царства Господня в руце сынов Давидовых: и вы мнози зело, и с вами телцы златии, ихже сотвори вам Иеровоам в боги:
“And now you are planning to fight against the kingdom that Yahweh established to be governed by David’s descendants. It is true that you have a huge army, and you and your soldiers have brought with you the golden [statues of] calves that Jeroboam’s workers made to be gods for all of you.
9 не извергосте ли священников Господних сынов Аароних и левитов, и сотвористе себе жерцы от людий всея земли, приходяй наполнити руку свою телцем от волов и овнами седмию, и сотворися жерцем не сущему богу:
But you expelled the priests that Yahweh [appointed], men who are descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest], and you expelled the descendants of Levi, and you appointed the priests that you wanted, like the people of other countries do. You allow anyone to become a priest of idols that are not gods if he comes to dedicate himself to be a priest by sacrificing a young bull and seven rams.
10 мы же Господа Бога нашего не оставихом, и священницы Его служат Господу, сынове Аарони и левити,
“As for us, Yahweh is our God, and we have not abandoned him. Our priests who serve Yahweh are descendants of Aaron, and the descendants of Levi assist them.
11 и по чредам своим жрут Господу всесожжения утро и пред вечером, и фимиам сложения, и предложения хлебов на трапезе чистей, и светилник златый, и свещники возжжения возжизати к вечеру: мы бо храним стражбы Господа Бога отец наших, вы же Его остависте:
Every morning and every evening they present to Yahweh offerings to be completely burned [on the altar], and they burn fragrant incense. [Each week] they place the sacred bread on the sacred table, and each morning they light the lamps that are on the gold lampstand. We are obeying what Yahweh our God requires us to do. But you have abandoned him.
12 и се, с нами в начале Господь, и священницы Его, и трубы знаменования, еже знаменати противу вам: сынове Израилевы, не ратуйте противу Господа Бога отец ваших, понеже не благопоспешится вам.
Yahweh is with us; he is our leader. The priests whom he has appointed will blow their trumpets to signal [that we are ready] to fight a battle against you. You Israeli men, do not fight against Yahweh, the God to whom your ancestors belonged, because you will not be successful and win the battle against him.”
13 Иеровоам же обрати подсаду приити ему созади, и бысть противу Иуды (сам), подсада же созади.
[While he was speaking, ] Jeroboam sent some of his troops around the army of Judah. So while the soldiers who were with Jeroboam were in front of the army of Judah, the other soldiers of Israel were behind the army of Judah.
14 И обратися Иуда, и се, ему брань сопреди и созади, и возопиша ко Господу, и священницы вострубиша трубами:
When the soldiers of Judah turned and saw that they were going to be attacked from the front and from the rear, they cried out to Yahweh. The priests blew their trumpets,
15 и возопиша мужие Иудины. И бысть вопиющым мужем Иудиным, и Господь порази Иеровоама и Израиля пред Авиею и Иудою:
and the men of Judah shouted a loud battle-cry. Then Yahweh [enabled Abijah and the army of Judah to] defeat Jeroboam and [the army of] Israel.
16 и бежаша сынове Израилевы от лица Иуды, и предаде их Господь Бог в руки их:
The soldiers of Israel fled from the soldiers of Judah, and God enabled the army of Judah to defeat them.
17 и порази их Авиа и людие его язвою великою, и падоша ранени от Израиля пять сот тысящ мужей крепких.
Abijah and his troops struck the capable soldiers of Israel and killed 500,000 of them.
18 И смиришася сынове Израилевы в день той, и укрепишася сынове Иудины, яко уповаша на Господа Бога отец своих.
So the soldiers of Israel were defeated, and the soldiers of Judah won the battle because they trusted in Yahweh, the God to whom their ancestors belonged.
19 Погна же Авиа вслед Иеровоама и взя от него грады: Вефиль и села его, и Иесину и села ея, и Ефрон и села его.
Abijah’s army pursued the army of Jeroboam, and they captured from the people of Israel the cities of Bethel, Jeshanah, and Ephron, and the surrounding villages.
20 И не возможе ктому противитися Иеровоам во вся дни Авии, и порази его Господь: и умре.
During the remaining time that Abijah ruled, Jeroboam did not become powerful again. Then Yahweh caused him to become very ill, and he died.
21 Авиа же укрепися, и поят себе жен четыренадесять, и роди двадесять два сына и шестьнадесять дщерей.
But Abijah became more powerful. He married 14 wives and had 22 sons and 16 daughters.
22 Прочая же словеса Авиева и деяния его и словеса его писана в книзе Адды пророка.
An account of the other things that Abijah did while he was the king, including what he said and what he did, is in the scroll written by the prophet Iddo.
