< 2 Kroniška 13 >

1 Torej v osemnajstem letu kralja Jerobeáma, je nad Judom začel kraljevati Abíja.
In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah began 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 was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. 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.
Abijah joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men; and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, who were mighty men of valor.
4 Abíja je stal na gori Cemarájim, ki je na gori Efrájim in rekel: »Poslušaj me, ti Jerobeám in ves Izrael,
Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, “Hear me, 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 you not to know that the LORD, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, 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, rose up, and 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.
Worthless men were gathered to him, wicked fellows who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender hearted, 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.
“Now you intend to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David. You are a great multitude, and the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods are with you.
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.
Haven’t you driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves according to the ways of the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may be a priest of those who 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. We have priests serving the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work.
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.
They burn to the LORD every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. They also set the show bread in order on the pure table, and care for the gold lamp stand with its lamps, to burn every evening; for we keep the instruction of the LORD our God, but 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.«
Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the shofars of alarm to sound an alarm against you. Children of Israel, don’t fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers; for you will 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 ambush to come about behind them; so they were before Judah, and the ambush 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.
When Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to the LORD, and the priests sounded with the shofars.
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. As the men of Judah shouted, God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16 Izraelovi otroci so pobegnili pred Judom in Bog jih je izročil v njihovo roko.
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.
Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter, so five hundred thousand chosen men of Israel fell down slain.
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 on the LORD, the 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.
Abijah pursued Jeroboam, and took cities from him: Bethel with its villages, Jeshanah with its villages, and Ephron with its villages.
20 Niti ni Jerobeám ponovno obnovil moči v Abíjevih dneh, in Gospod ga je udaril in je umrl.
Jeroboam didn’t recover strength again in the days of Abijah. 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 grew mighty and took for himself fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
22 Ostala Abíjeva dela, njegove poti in njegove besede so zapisane v zgodbi preroka Idója.
The rest of the acts of Abijah, his ways, and his sayings are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
