2 Nyakati 13
1 Katika mwaka wa kumi na nane wa utawala wa Yeroboamu, Abiya akawa mfalme wa Yuda,
In year eight-teen of the king Jeroboam and he became king Abijah over Judah.
2 naye akatawala huko Yerusalemu miaka mitatu. Mama yake aliitwa Maaka, binti Urieli wa Gibea. Basi kulikuwa na vita kati ya Abiya na Yeroboamu.
Three years he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Micaiah [the] daughter of Uriel from Gibeah and war it was between Abijah and between Jeroboam.
3 Abiya aliingia vitani na jeshi la watu 400,000 wenye uwezo wa kupigana, naye Yeroboamu akapanga jeshi dhidi ya Abiya akiwa na jeshi la watu 800,000 wenye uwezo.
And he bound Abijah the battle with an army of mighty [men] of war four hundred thousand man chosen. And Jeroboam he drew up in formation with him battle with eight hundred thousand man chosen mighty of strength.
4 Abiya akasimama juu ya Mlima Semaraimu, katika nchi ya vilima ya Efraimu, naye akasema, “Yeroboamu na Israeli yote, nisikilizeni mimi!
And he stood Abijah on [the] mountain of Zemaraim which [is] in [the] hill country of Ephraim and he said listen to me O Jeroboam and all Israel.
5 Hamfahamu kwamba Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, alimpa Daudi na wazao wake ufalme juu ya Israeli milele kwa Agano la chumvi?
¿ Not [belong] to you [does] to know that Yahweh - [the] God of Israel he has given kingship to David over Israel for ever to him and to descendants his a covenant of salt.
6 Hata hivyo Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati afisa wa Solomoni mwana wa Daudi, aliasi dhidi ya bwana wake.
And he arose Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat [the] servant of Solomon [the] son of David and he rebelled on master his.
7 Baadhi ya watu wasiofaa kitu, wabaya kabisa walimkusanyikia na kumpinga Rehoboamu mwana wa Solomoni alipokuwa kijana mdogo asiyekuwa na uamuzi, asiye na nguvu za kuweza kupingana nao.
And they gathered to him men empty sons of worthlessness and they proved themselves strong over Rehoboam [the] son of Solomon and Rehoboam he was a young man and weak of heart and not he showed himself strong before them.
8 “Hata sasa unapanga kupingana na ufalme wa Bwana ambao uko mikononi mwa wazao wa Daudi. Kweli ninyi ni jeshi kubwa nanyi mnazo ndama za dhahabu Yeroboamu alizozitengeneza kuwa miungu yenu.
And now - you [are] saying to show yourselves strong before [the] kingdom of Yahweh in [the] hand of [the] descendants of David and you [are] a multitude great and [are] with you calves of gold which he made for you Jeroboam to gods.
9 Lakini je, hamkuwafukuza makuhani wa Bwana, wana wa Aroni na Walawi na kujifanyia makuhani wenu wenyewe kama yafanyavyo mataifa ya nchi nyingine? Yeyote anayekuja kujiweka wakfu akiwa na ndama dume na kondoo dume saba aweza kuwa kuhani wa kile ambacho ni miungu kwenu.
¿ Not have you driven out [the] priests of Yahweh [the] descendants of Aaron and the Levites and you have appointed for yourselves priests like [the] peoples of the lands every [one who] comes to fill own hand his with a young bull a young one of cattle and rams seven and he will become a priest to not gods.
10 “Lakini kwetu sisi, Bwana ndiye Mungu wetu, wala hatujamwacha. Makuhani wanaomtumikia Bwana ni wana wa Aroni, nao Walawi wakiwasaidia.
And we Yahweh [is] God our and not we have forsaken him and [we are] priests serving Yahweh [the] descendants of Aaron and the Levites [are] in the work.
11 Kila asubuhi na jioni wao hutoa sadaka za kuteketezwa na kufukiza uvumba wa harufu nzuri kwa Bwana. Wao huweka mikate juu ya meza safi kwa taratibu za kiibada na kuwasha taa kwenye kinara cha dhahabu kila jioni. Sisi tunazishika kanuni za Bwana Mungu wetu. Lakini ninyi mmemwacha Mungu.
And [are] making smoke to Yahweh burnt offerings in the morning in the morning and in the evening in the evening and incense of perfume and [the] row of bread on the table clean and [the] lampstand of gold and lamps its to burn in the evening in the evening for [are] keeping we [the] duty of Yahweh God our and you you have forsaken him.
12 Mungu yu pamoja nasi, yeye ndiye kiongozi wetu. Makuhani wake wakiwa na tarumbeta zao watapiga baragumu ya vita dhidi yenu. Watu wa Israeli, msipigane dhidi ya Bwana, Mungu wa baba zenu, kwa maana hamtashinda.”
And here! [is] with us at the head God - and priests his and [the] trumpets of the alarm to sound [the] battle signal on you O people of Israel may not you do battle with Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your for not you will succeed.
13 Basi Yeroboamu alikuwa ametuma jeshi kuzunguka nyuma ya Yuda ili kwamba akiwa mbele ya Yuda, jeshi liwavizie kwa nyuma.
And Jeroboam he had caused to go round the ambush to come from behind them and they were to front of Judah and the ambush [was] from behind them.
14 Basi Yuda wakageuka na kuona kwamba wanashambuliwa mbele na nyuma. Ndipo wakamlilia Bwana. Makuhani wakapiga tarumbeta zao,
And they turned Judah and there! [was] to them the battle before and behind and they cried out to Yahweh and the priests ([were] blowing a trumpet *Q(k)*) on trumpets.
15 nao watu wa Yuda wakapaza sauti ya kilio cha vita. Katika kupiga kelele za vita, Mungu akawafukuza Yeroboamu na Israeli wote mbele ya Mfalme Abiya na Yuda.
And they sounded [the] battle signal [the] man of Judah and it was when sounded [the] battle signal [the] man of Judah and God he defeated Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16 Waisraeli wakakimbia mbele ya Yuda, naye Mungu akawatia Israeli mikononi mwao.
And they fled [the] people of Israel from before Judah and he gave them God in hand their.
17 Abiya na watu wake wakawachinja kwa machinjo makuu, hata wakawepo majeruhi 500,000 miongoni mwa watu wenye uwezo wa Israeli.
And they struck down among them Abijah and people his a striking great and they fell slain of Israel five hundred thousand man chosen.
18 Watu wa Israeli walitiishwa katika tukio lile, nao watu wa Yuda wakawa washindi kwa sababu walimtegemea Bwana, Mungu wa baba zao.
And they were humbled [the] people of Israel at the time that and they were strong [the] people of Judah for they depended on Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their.
19 Abiya akamfuatia Yeroboamu na kuteka miji ya Betheli, Yeshana na Efroni kutoka kwake, pamoja na vijiji vinavyoizunguka miji hiyo.
And he pursued Abijah after Jeroboam and he captured from him cities Beth-el and daughters its and Jeshanah and daughters its and (Ephrayin *Q(K)*) and daughters its.
20 Yeroboamu hakupata nguvu tena wakati wa utawala wa Abiya. Naye Bwana akampiga Yeroboamu akafa.
And not he retained [the] strength of Jeroboam again in [the] days of Abijah and he struck him Yahweh and he died.
21 Lakini Abiya akapata nguvu. Alioa wanawake kumi na wanne na alikuwa na wana ishirini na wawili na binti kumi na sita.
And he strengthened himself Abijah and he took for himself wives four-teen and he fathered twenty and two sons and six-teen daughters.
22 Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Abiya, pamoja na mambo aliyofanya na aliyosema, yameandikwa katika kitabu cha maelezo cha nabii Ido.
And [the] rest of [the] matters of Abijah and ways his and words his [are] written in [the] record of the prophet Iddo.
