2 Chronicles 13
1 Ní ọdún kejìdínlógún ìjọba Jeroboamu, Abijah di ọba Juda.
In the eighteenth year of Jeroboam’s reign, Abijah became king of Judah,
2 Ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mẹ́ta. Orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ a máa jẹ́ Mikaiah, ọmọbìnrin Urieli ti Gibeah. Ogun wà láàrín Abijah àti Jeroboamu.
and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Micaiah daughter of Uriel; she was from Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
3 Abijah lọ sí ojú ogun pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ogun ogún ọ̀kẹ́ ọkùnrin alágbára, Jeroboamu kó ogun jọ pẹ̀lú ogójì ọ̀kẹ́ ọ̀wọ́ ogun tí ó lágbára.
Abijah went into battle with an army of 400,000 chosen men, while Jeroboam drew up in formation against him with 800,000 chosen and mighty men of valor.
4 Abijah dúró lórí òkè Semaraimu ní òkè orílẹ̀-èdè Efraimu, ó sì wí pé, Jeroboamu àti gbogbo Israẹli, ẹ gbọ́ mi!
Then Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim in the hill country of Ephraim and said, “Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel!
5 Ṣé ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀ pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli ti fún Dafidi àti àwọn àtẹ̀lé rẹ̀ ni oyè ọba títí láé nípasẹ̀ májẹ̀mú iyọ̀?
Do you not know that the LORD, the God of Israel, has given the kingship of Israel to David and his descendants forever by a covenant of salt?
6 Síbẹ̀ Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati, oníṣẹ́ Solomoni ọmọ Dafidi, ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí ọ̀gá rẹ̀.
Yet Jeroboam son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon son of David, rose up and rebelled against his master.
7 Àwọn ènìyàn lásán sì kó ara wọn jọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, àwọn ọmọ ẹni búburú, wọ́n sì kẹ̀yìn sí Rehoboamu ọmọ Solomoni ní ìgbà tí ó sì kéré tí kò lè pinnu fúnra rẹ̀, tí kò lágbára tó láti takò wọ́n.
Then worthless and wicked men gathered around him to resist Rehoboam son of Solomon when he was young, inexperienced, and unable to resist them.
8 “Nísinsin yìí, ìwọ ṣètò láti kọ́ ìjọba Olúwa, tí ó wà lọ́wọ́ àwọn àtẹ̀lé Dafidi. Ìwọ jẹ́ ọmọ-ogun tí ó gbilẹ̀, ìwọ sì ní pẹ̀lú rẹ ẹgbọrọ màlúù wúrà ti Jeroboamu dà láti fi ṣe Ọlọ́run yín.
And now you think you can resist the kingdom of the LORD, which is in the hands of David’s descendants. You are indeed a vast army, and you have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made for you as gods.
9 Ṣùgbọ́n ṣé ìwọ kò lé àwọn àlùfáà Olúwa jáde, àwọn ọmọ Aaroni àti àwọn ará Lefi. Tí ó sì ṣe àwọn àlùfáà ti ara rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ mìíràn ti ṣe? Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá wá láti ya ara rẹ̀ sọ́tọ̀ pẹ̀lú ọ̀dọ́ akọ màlúù àti àgbò méjì lè jẹ́ àlùfáà ohun tí kì í ṣe Ọlọ́run.
But did you not drive out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites? And did you not make priests for yourselves as do the peoples of other lands? Now whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams can become a priest of things that are not gods.
10 “Ní ti àwa, Olúwa ni Ọlọ́run wa, àwa kò sì ti ì kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀. Àwọn àlùfáà tí ó ń sin Olúwa jẹ́ àwọn ọmọ Aaroni àwọn ará Lefi sì ń ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́.
But as for us, the LORD is our God. We have not forsaken Him; the priests who minister to the LORD are sons of Aaron, and the Levites attend to their duties.
11 Ní àràárọ̀ àti ìrọ̀lẹ́, wọ́n gbé ẹbọ sísun àti tùràrí olóòórùn dídùn síwájú Olúwa. Wọ́n gbé àkàrà jáde sórí tábìlì àsè mímọ́, wọ́n sì tan iná sí àwọn fìtílà lórí ìdúró ọ̀pá fìtílà wúrà ní gbogbo ìrọ̀lẹ́. A ń pa àṣẹ Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa mọ́. Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ti kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀.
Every morning and every evening they present burnt offerings and fragrant incense to the LORD. They set out the rows of showbread on the ceremonially clean table, and every evening they light the lamps of the gold lampstand. We are carrying out the requirements of the LORD our God, while you have forsaken Him.
12 Ọlọ́run wà pẹ̀lú wa; òun ni olórí wa. Àwọn àlùfáà rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú fèrè wọn yóò fọn ìpè ogun sí i yín. Ẹyin ọkùnrin Israẹli, ẹ má ṣe dojú ìjà kọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run baba yín nítorí ẹ̀yin kì yóò yege.”
Now behold, God Himself is with us as our head, and His priests with their trumpets sound the battle call against you. O children of Israel, do not fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers, for you will not succeed.”
13 Nísinsin yìí, Jeroboamu ti rán àwọn ọ̀wọ́ ogun lọ yíká láti jagun ẹ̀yìn. Kí ó lè jẹ́ pé, tí òun bá wà níwájú Juda, bíba ní bùba á wà ní ẹ̀yìn wọn.
Now Jeroboam had sent troops around to ambush from the rear, so that while he was in front of Judah, the ambush was behind them.
14 Nígbà tí Juda sì bojú wo ẹ̀yìn, sì kíyèsi i, ogun ń bẹ níwájú àti lẹ́yìn, wọn sì ké pe Olúwa, àwọn àlùfáà sì fun ìpè.
When Judah turned and discovered that the battle was both before and behind them, they cried out to the LORD. Then the priests blew the trumpets,
15 Olúkúlùkù, ọkùnrin Juda sì fún ìpè ogun, ó sì ṣe, bí àwọn ọkùnrin Juda sì ti fun ìpè ogun, ni Ọlọ́run kọlu Jeroboamu àti gbogbo Israẹli níwájú Abijah àti Juda.
and the men of Judah raised the battle cry. And when they raised the cry, God routed Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sálọ kúrò níwájú Juda, Ọlọ́run sì fi wọ́n lé wọn lọ́wọ́.
So the Israelites fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hands.
17 Abijah àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ fi ìdààmú ńlá jẹ wọ́n ní ìyà, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n ọkùnrin tí a yàn ṣubú ní pípa nínú Israẹli.
Then Abijah and his people struck them with a mighty blow, and 500,000 chosen men of Israel fell slain.
18 Báyìí ni a rẹ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sílẹ̀ ní àkókò náà, àwọn ọmọ Juda sì borí nítorí tí wọ́n gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba wọn.
Thus the Israelites were subdued at that time, and the men of Judah prevailed because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers.
19 Abijah sì lépa Jeroboamu, ó sì gba ìlú lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, Beteli pẹ̀lú àwọn ìlú rẹ̀, àti Jeṣana pẹ̀lú àwọn ìlú rẹ̀, àti Efroni pẹ̀lú àwọn ìlú rẹ̀.
Abijah pursued Jeroboam and captured some cities from him: Bethel, Jeshanah, and Ephron, along with their villages.
20 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ní Jeroboamu kò sì tún ní agbára mọ́ ní ọjọ́ Abijah. Olúwa sì lù ú ó sì kú.
Jeroboam did not again recover his power during the days of Abijah, and the LORD struck him down and he died.
21 Abijah sì di alágbára, ó sì gbé obìnrin mẹ́tàlá ní ìyàwó, ó sì bi ọmọkùnrin méjìlélógún, àti ọmọbìnrin mẹ́rìndínlógún.
But Abijah grew strong, married fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
22 Àti ìyókù ìṣe Abijah, àti ìwà rẹ̀, àti iṣẹ́ rẹ̀, a kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé ìtumọ̀, wòlíì Iddo.
Now the rest of the acts of Abijah, along with his ways and his words, are written in the Treatise of the Prophet Iddo.
