2 Kroniška 13

1 Torej v osemnajstem letu kralja Jerobeáma, je nad Judom začel kraljevati Abíja.

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

2 Tri leta je kraljeval v Jeruzalemu. Ime njegove matere je bilo Mihajá, Uriélova hči iz Gíbee. In bila je vojna med Abíjem in Jerobeámom.

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 Abíja se je postrojil z vojsko hrabrih bojevnikov, celó štiristo tisoč izbranih mož. Tudi Jerobeám se je postrojil zoper njega z osemsto tisoč izbranimi možmi, ki so bili močni junaški možje.

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 Abíja je stal na gori Cemarájim, ki je na gori Efrájim in rekel: »Poslušaj me, ti Jerobeám in ves Izrael,

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

5 ne veste, da je Gospod, Izraelov Bog, dal kraljestvo nad Izraelom Davidu na veke, celó njemu in njegovim sinovom s solno zavezo?

Ought all of you not to know that the LORD 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 Vendar je Nebátov sin Jerobeám, služabnik Davidovega sina Salomona, vstal in se uprl zoper svojega gospoda.

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

7 In k njemu so bili zbrani praznoglavi možje, Beliálovi otroci in so se okrepili zoper Salomonovega sina Rehabáma, ko je bil Rehabám mlad in nežnega srca in se jim ni mogel zoperstaviti.

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 In sedaj se vi mislite zoperstaviti Gospodovemu kraljestvu v roki Davidovih sinov. Vas je velika množica in tam sta z vami zlati teleti, katera vam je Jerobeám naredil za bogova.

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

9 Mar niste vrgli ven Gospodove duhovnike, Aronove sinove in Lévijevce in ste si naredili duhovnike po načinu narodov drugih dežel? Tako da kdorkoli prihaja, da sebe umésti z mladim bikcem in sedmimi ovni, isti lahko postane duhovnik tistim, ki so ne-bogovi.

Have all of you not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods.

10 Toda kar se nas tiče, je Gospod naš Bog in mi ga nismo zapustili, in duhovniki, ki služijo Gospodu, so Aronovi sinovi in Lévijevci čakajo na svoj posel.

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

11 Vsako jutro in vsak večer Gospodu zažigajo žgalne daritve in dišeče kadilo. Tudi hlebe navzočnosti postavljajo na čisto mizo in zlati svečnik z njegovimi svetilkami prižigajo vsak večer. Kajti mi se držimo naročila Gospoda, našega Boga, toda vi ste ga zapustili.

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

12 Glejte, sam Bog je z nami za našega poveljnika in njegovi duhovniki z donenjem trobent, da zoper vas zatrobijo alarm. Oh Izraelovi otroci, ne borite se zoper Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov, kajti ne boste uspeli.«

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 all of you not against the LORD God of your fathers; for all of you shall not prosper.

13 Toda Jerobeám je velel zasedi, da pride naokrog za njimi. Tako so bili pred Judom in zaseda je bila za njimi.

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

14 Ko je Juda pogledal nazaj, glej, bitka je bila spredaj in zadaj. Zavpili so h Gospodu in duhovniki so zatrobili s trobentami.

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

15 Potem so možje iz Juda zakričali in ko so možje iz Juda zakričali, se je pripetilo, da je Bog udaril Jerobeáma in ves Izrael pred Abíjem in Judom.

Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God stroke Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

16 Izraelovi otroci so pobegnili pred Judom in Bog jih je izročil v njihovo roko.

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

17 Abíja in njegovo ljudstvo jih je umorilo z velikim pokolom. Tako so tam padli umorjeni Izraelci, petsto tisoč izbranih mož.

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 so bili Izraelovi otroci ob tistem času podjarmljeni, Judovi otroci pa so prevladali, ker so se zanašali na Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov.

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

19 Abíja je zasledoval Jerobeáma in od njega vzel mesta: Betel z njegovimi mesti, Ješáno z njenimi mesti in Efrón z njegovimi mesti.

And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephraim with the towns thereof.

20 Niti ni Jerobeám ponovno obnovil moči v Abíjevih dneh, in Gospod ga je udaril in je umrl.

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

21 Toda Abíja je postal mogočen in poročil štirinajst žena ter zaplodil dvaindvajset sinov in šestnajst hčera.

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

22 Ostala Abíjeva dela, njegove poti in njegove besede so zapisane v zgodbi preroka Idója.

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