2 Nyakati 13
1 Katika mwaka wa kumi na nane wa Mfalme Yeroboamu, Abiya akaanza kutawala juu ya Yuda.
In year eight-teen of the king Jeroboam and he became king Abijah over Judah.
2 Akatawala kwa miaka mitatu katika Yerusalemu; jina la mama yake aliitwa Maaka, binti wa Urieli wa Gibea. 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 akaingia vitani na jeshi la askari, wenye nguvu, hodari, 400, 00 wanaume waliochaguliwa. Yeroboamu akapanga mistari ya vita dhidi yake yenye 800, 00 wanaume askari waliochaguliwa, wenye nguvu, hodari.
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, uliopo katika kilima cha nchi ya Efraimu, na akasema, “Nisikilizeni, Yeroboamu na Israeli wote!
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 Hamjui kwamba Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli, alitoa sheria juu ya Israeli kwa Daudi milele, kwake na kwa wanaye kwa agano rasimi?
¿ 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 Bado Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, mtumishi wa Selemani mwana wa Daudi, akainuka na kuasi 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 Watu wabaya, washirika wa karibu, wakamkusanyikia, wakamjia kinyume Rehoboamu mwana wa Selemani, wakati Rehoboamu alipokuwa mdogo na asiye na uzoefu na hakuweza kuwamudu.
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 Sasa mnasema kwamba mnaweza kuuzuia utawala wa Yahwe wenye nguvu katika mkono wa uzao wa Daudi. Ninyi ni jeshsi kubwa, na pamoja nanyi kuna ndama wa dhahabu ambao Yeroboamu alitengeneza kama miungu kwa ajili 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 Hamkuwafukuza nje makuhani wa Yahwe, uzao wa Haruni, na Walawi? Hamkujifanyia makuhani katika namna ya watu wa nchi zingine? Yeyote ajaye kujitakasa mwenyewe na ngo'mbe dume kijana, na madume ya kondoo anaweza kuwa kuhani wa kile ambacho siyo miungu.
¿ 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, Yahwe ni Mungu wetu, na hatujamsahau. Tuna makuhani, uzao wa Haruni, wakimtumikia Yahwe, na Walawi, ambao wako kataika kazi yao.
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 humtolea Yahwe sadaka za kuteketezwa na uvumba mtamu. Pia hupanga mkate wa uwepo juu ya meza takatifu; pia huweka kinara cha dhahabu pamoaja na taa zake, ili watoe sadaka kila jioni. sisi huzishika sheria za Yahwe, Mungu wetu, Lakini ninyi mmemsahau.
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 Ona, Mungu yuko pamoja nasi katika vichwa vyetu, na makuhani wake wako hapa na tarumbeta kwa ajili ya kutoa sauti dhidi yenu. Watu wa Israeli, msipigane na Yahwe, Mungu wa babu zenu, kwa maana hamtafanikiwa.”
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 Lakini Yeroboamu akaandaa mavamizi nyuma yao; jeshi lake lilikuwa mbele ya Yuda, na wavamizi nyuma yao.
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 Yuda walipoanagalia nyuma, tanzama, mapigano yalikuwa pote mbele na nyuma yao. Wakamlilia Yahwe kwa sauti, na makuhani wakayapuliza matarumbeta.
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 Kisha wanaume wa Yuda wakapiga kelele; walipopiga kele, ikawa kwamba Mungu akampiga Yeroboamu na Israeli wote mbele ya 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 Watu wa Israeli wakakimbia mbele ya Yuda, na akawatia kwenye mkono wa Yuda.
And they fled [the] people of Israel from before Judah and he gave them God in hand their.
17 Abiya na jeshi lake wakawaua kwa mauji makuu; 500, 000 watu wanaume waliochaguliwa wa Israeli wakaanguka wamekufa.
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 Katika namna hii hii, watu wa Israeli wakatiishwa chini wakati huo, watu wa Yuda wakashinda kwa sababu walimtegemea Yahwe, Mungu wa babu 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 akamshawishi Yeroboamu; akachukua miji kutoka kwake; Betheli pamoja na vijiji vyake, Yeshana pamoja na vijiji vyake, na Efroni pamoaaja na vijij vyake.
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 naguvu tena katika siku za Abiya; Yahwe akampiga, na 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 akawa na nguvu sana; akachukua wanawake kumi na nne kwa ajili yake na akawa baba wa wana ishirini na mbili na mabinti 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 Matendo ya Abiya yaliyosalia, tabia yake na maneno yake yameeandikwa katika kamusi ya 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.
