2 Mga Cronica 13
1 Nang ikalabing walong taon ng haring Jeroboam ay nagpasimula si Abias na maghari sa Juda.
In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah became king over Judah.
2 Tatlong taong naghari siya sa Jerusalem: at ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Michaia na anak ni Uriel na taga Gabaa. At nagkaroon ng digmaan si Abias at si Jeroboam.
He was king in Jerusalem for three years; his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
3 At si Abias ay nagpisan sa pakikipagbaka ng isang hukbo na matatapang na lalaking mangdidigma, na apat na raang libo, na mga piling lalake: at humanay si Jeroboam sa pakikipagbaka laban sa kaniya na may walong daang libo, na piling mga lalake, na mga makapangyarihang lalaking may tapang.
And Abijah went out to the fight with an army of men of war, four hundred thousand of his best men; and Jeroboam put his forces in line against him, eight hundred thousand of his best men of war.
4 At si Abias ay tumayo sa bundok ng Semaraim, na nasa lupaing maburol ng Ephraim, at nagsabi, Dinggin ninyo ako, Oh Jeroboam at buong Israel;
And Abijah took up his position on Mount Zemaraim, in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said, Give ear to me, O Jeroboam and all Israel:
5 Hindi ba ninyo nalalaman na ibinigay ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, ang kaharian sa Israel kay David magpakailan man, sa kaniya at sa kaniyang mga anak, sa pamamagitan ng tipan na asin?
Is it not clear to you that the Lord, the God of Israel, gave the rule over Israel to David and to his sons for ever, by an agreement made with salt?
6 Gayon ma'y si Jeroboam na anak ni Nabat, na lingkod ni Salomon na anak ni David, ay tumindig, at nanghimagsik laban sa kaniyang panginoon.
But Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon, the son of David, took up arms against his lord.
7 At napisan sa kaniya ay mga walang kabuluhang lalake, na mga hamak na tao, na nangagpakatibay laban kay Roboam na anak ni Salomon, nang si Roboam ay bata at malumanay na puso, at hindi makapanaig sa kanila.
And certain foolish and good-for-nothing men were joined with him, and made themselves strong against Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, when he was young and untested and not able to keep them back.
8 At ngayo'y inyong inaakalang daigin ang kaharian ng Panginoon sa kamay ng mga anak ni David; at kayo'y isang malaking karamihan, at mayroon kayong mga gintong guya, na ginawang mga dios sa inyo ni Jeroboam.
And now it is your purpose to put yourselves against the authority which the Lord has put into the hands of the sons of David, and you are a very great number, and you have with you the gold oxen which Jeroboam made to be your gods.
9 Hindi ba ninyo pinalayas ang mga saserdote ng Panginoon, na mga anak ni Aaron, at ang mga Levita, at kayo'y naghalal ng mga saserdote na ayon sa kaugalian ng mga bayan ng mga ibang lupain? na anopa't sinomang naparoroon upang tumalaga sa pamamagitan ng isang guyang baka, at pitong lalaking tupa, yao'y maaaring saserdote sa mga yaon na hindi mga dios.
And after driving out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, have you not made priests for yourselves as the people of other lands do? so that anyone who comes to make himself priest by offering an ox or seven sheep, may be a priest of those who are no gods.
10 Nguni't tungkol sa amin, ang Panginoon ay ang aming Dios, at hindi namin pinabayaan siya; at mayroon kaming mga saserdote na nagsisipangasiwa sa Panginoon, ang mga anak ni Aaron, at ang mga Levita sa kanilang gawain:
But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not been turned away from him; we have priests who do the work of the Lord, even the sons of Aaron and the Levites in their places;
11 At sila'y nagsisipagsunog sa Panginoon tuwing umaga at tuwing hapon ng mga handog na susunugin at ng mainam na kamangyan: ang tinapay na handog naman ay inihanay nila sa dulang na dalisay; at ang kandelerong ginto na may mga ilawan, upang magsipagningas tuwing hapon: sapagka't aming iningatan ang bilin ng Panginoon naming Dios; nguni't pinabayaan ninyo siya.
By whom burned offerings and perfumes are sent up in smoke before the Lord every morning and every evening; and they put out the holy bread on its table and the gold support for the lights with its lights burning every evening; for we keep the orders given to us by the Lord our God, but you have gone away from him.
12 At, narito, ang Dios ay nangungulo sa amin, at ang kaniyang mga saserdote ay mga may pakakak na panghudyat, upang mangagpatunog ng hudyat laban sa iyo. Oh mga anak ni Israel, huwag kayong mangakipaglaban sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng inyong mga magulang; sapagka't kayo'y hindi magsisiginhawa.
And now God is with us at our head, and his priests with their loud horns sounding against you. O children of Israel, do not make war on the Lord, the God of your fathers, for it will not go well for you.
13 Nguni't pinaligid sa likuran nila ni Jeroboam ang isang kawal na bakay: na anopa't sila'y nangasa harap ng Juda, at ang bakay ay nasa likuran nila.
But Jeroboam had put some of his men to make a surprise attack on them from the back, so some were facing Judah and others were stationed secretly at their back.
14 At nang ang Juda ay lumingon, narito, ang pagbabaka'y nasa harap at likuran nila: at sila'y nagsidaing sa Panginoon, at ang mga saserdote ay nangagpatunog ng mga pakakak.
And Judah, turning their faces, saw that they were being attacked in front and at the back; and they gave a cry for help to the Lord, while the priests were sounding their horns.
15 Nang magkagayo'y nagsihiyaw ang mga lalake ng Juda: at habang nagsisihiyaw ang mga anak ng Juda, nangyari, na sinaktan ng Dios si Jeroboam at ang buong Israel sa harap ni Abias at ng Juda.
And the men of Judah gave a loud cry; and at their cry, God put fear into Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16 At ang mga anak ni Israel ay nagsitakas sa harap ng Juda: at ibinigay ng Dios sila sa kanilang kamay.
And the children of Israel went in flight before Judah, and God gave them up into their hands.
17 At pinatay sila ni Abias at ng kaniyang bayan ng malaking pagpatay: sa gayo'y nangabuwal na patay sa Israel ay limang daang libo na piling mga lalake.
And Abijah and his people put them to death with great destruction: five hundred thousand of the best of Israel were put to the sword.
18 Ganito nangasakop ang mga anak ni Israel nang panahong yaon, at ang mga anak ni Juda ay nagsipanaig, sapagka't sila'y nagsitiwala sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng kanilang mga magulang.
So at that time the children of Israel were overcome, and the children of Judah got the better of them, because they put their faith in the Lord, the God of their fathers.
19 At hinabol ni Abias si Jeroboam, at inagawan siya ng mga bayan, ang Beth-el pati ng mga nayon niyaon, at ang Jesana pati ng mga nayon niyaon at ang Ephron pati ng mga nayon niyaon.
And Abijah went after Jeroboam and took some of his towns, Beth-el with its small towns and Jeshanah with its small towns and Ephron with its small towns.
20 Na hindi man nagsauling lakas si Jeroboam uli sa mga kaarawan ni Abias: at sinaktan siya ng Panginoon at siya'y namatay.
And Jeroboam did not get back his power again in the life-time of Abijah; and the Lord sent death on him.
21 Nguni't si Abias ay naging makapangyarihan, at nagasawa ng labing apat, at nagkaanak ng dalawang pu't dalawang lalake, at labing anim na babae.
But Abijah became great, and had fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
22 At ang iba sa mga gawa ni Abias, at ang kaniyang mga lakad, at ang kaniyang mga sabi ay nangakasulat sa kasaysayan ni Iddo na propeta.
And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways and his sayings, are recorded in the account of the prophet Iddo.
