فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّامِنَةَ عَشَرَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ يَرُبْعَامَ، مَلَكَ أَبِيَّا عَلَى يَهُوذَا. ١ 1
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam Abia began to reign over Juda.
مَلَكَ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ مِيخَايَا بِنْتُ أُورِيئِيلَ مِنْ جَبْعَةَ. وَكَانَتْ حَرْبٌ بَيْنَ أَبِيَّا وَيَرُبْعَامَ. ٢ 2
He reigned three years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Maacha, daughter of Uriel of Gabaon. And there was war between Abia and Jeroboam.
وَٱبْتَدَأَ أَبِيَّا فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ بِجَيْشٍ مِنْ جَبَابِرَةِ ٱلْقِتَالِ، أَرْبَعِ مِئَةِ أَلْفِ رَجُلٍ مُخْتَارٍ، وَيَرُبْعَامُ ٱصْطَفَّ لِمُحَارَبَتِهِ بِثَمَانِ مِئَةِ أَلْفِ رَجُلٍ مُخْتَارٍ، جَبَابِرَةِ بَأْسٍ. ٣ 3
And Abia set the battle in array with an army, with mighty men of war, [even] four hundred thousand mighty men: and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand, [they were] mighty warriors of the host.
وَقَامَ أَبِيَّا عَلَى جَبَلِ صَمَارَايِمَ ٱلَّذِي فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَقَالَ: «ٱسْمَعُونِي يَا يَرُبْعَامُ وَكُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٤ 4
And Abia rose up from the mount Somoron, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear ye, Jeroboam, and all Israel:
أَمَا لَكُمْ أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَعْطَى ٱلْمُلْكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ لِدَاوُدَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ وَلِبَنِيهِ بِعَهْدِ مِلْحٍ؟ ٥ 5
[Is it] not for you to know that the Lord God of Israel has given a king over Israel for ever to David, and to his sons, by a covenant of salt?
فَقَامَ يَرُبْعَامُ بْنُ نَبَاطَ عَبْدُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ وَعَصَى سَيِّدَهُ. ٦ 6
But Jeroboam the [son] of Nabat, the servant of Solomon [the son] of David, is risen up, and has revolted from his master:
فَٱجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ رِجَالٌ بَطَّالُونَ بَنُو بَلِيَّعَالَ وَتَشَدَّدُوا عَلَى رَحُبْعَامَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَكَانَ رَحُبْعَامُ فَتًى رَقِيقَ ٱلْقَلْبِ فَلَمْ يَثْبُتْ أَمَامَهُمْ. ٧ 7
and there are gathered to him pestilent men, transgressors, and he has risen up against Roboam the [son] of Solomon, while Roboam was young and fearful in heart, and he withstood him not.
وَٱلْآنَ أَنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ إِنَّكُمْ تَثْبُتُونَ أَمَامَ مَمْلَكَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ بِيَدِ بَنِي دَاوُدَ، وَأَنْتُمْ جُمْهُورٌ كَثِيرٌ وَمَعَكُمْ عُجُولُ ذَهَبٍ قَدْ عَمِلَهَا يَرُبْعَامُ لَكُمْ آلِهَةً. ٨ 8
And now ye profess to resist the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David; and ye [are] a great multitude, and with you are golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.
أَمَا طَرَدْتُمْ كَهَنَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ بَنِي هَارُونَ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ، وَعَمِلْتُمْ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ كَهَنَةً كَشُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي، كُلُّ مَنْ أَتَى لِيَمْلَأَ يَدَهُ بِثَوْرٍ ٱبْنِ بَقَرٍ وَسَبْعَةِ كِبَاشٍ، صَارَ كَاهِنًا لِلَّذِينَ لَيْسُوا آلِهَةً؟ ٩ 9
Did ye not cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and make to yourselves priests of the people of any [other] land? whoever came to consecrate himself with a calf of the heard and seven rams, he forthwith became a priest to that which is no god.
وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَٱلرَّبُّ هُوَ إِلَهُنَا، وَلَمْ نَتْرُكْهُ. وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ ٱلْخَادِمُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ هُمْ بَنُو هَارُونَ وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ فِي ٱلْعَمَلِ، ١٠ 10
But we have not forsaken the Lord our God, and his priests, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, minister to the Lord; and in their daily courses
وَيُوقِدُونَ لِلرَّبِّ مُحْرَقَاتٍ كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ وَمَسَاءٍ. وَبَخُورُ أَطْيَابٍ وَخُبْزُ ٱلْوُجُوهِ عَلَى ٱلْمَائِدَةِ ٱلطَّاهِرَةِ، وَمَنَارَةُ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَسُرُجُهَا لِلْإِيقَادِ كُلَّ مَسَاءٍ، لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ حَارِسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا. وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَقَدْ تَرَكْتُمُوهُ. ١١ 11
they sacrifice to the Lord whole-burnt-offering, morning and evening, and compound incense, and [set] the shewbread on the pure table; and [there is] the golden candlestick, and the lamps for burning, to light in the evening: for we keep the charge of the Lord God of our fathers; but ye have forsaken him.
وَهُوَذَا مَعَنَا ٱللهُ رَئِيسًا، وَكَهَنَتُهُ وَأَبْوَاقُ ٱلْهُتَافِ لِلْهُتَافِ عَلَيْكُمْ. فَيَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا تُحَارِبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِكُمْ لِأَنَّكُمْ لَا تُفْلِحُونَ». ١٢ 12
And, behold, the Lord and his priests are with us at our head, and the signal trumpets to sound an alarm over us. Children of Israel, fight not against the Lord God of our fathers; for ye shall not prosper.
وَلَكِنْ يَرُبْعَامُ جَعَلَ ٱلْكَمِينَ يَدُورُ لِيَأْتِيَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ. فَكَانُوا أَمَامَ يَهُوذَا وَٱلْكَمِينُ خَلْفَهُمْ. ١٣ 13
Now Jeroboam had caused an ambush to come round upon him from behind: and he [himself] was before Juda, and the ambush behind.
فَٱلْتَفَتَ يَهُوذَا وَإِذَا ٱلْحَرْبُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ قُدَّامٍ وَمِنْ خَلْفٍ. فَصَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، وَبَوَّقَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ، ١٤ 14
And Juda looked back, and, behold, the battle [was] against them before and behind: and they cried to the Lord, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
وَهَتَفَ رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا. وَلَمَّا هَتَفَ رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا ضَرَبَ ٱللهُ يَرُبْعَامَ وَكُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَمَامَ أَبِيَّا وَيَهُوذَا. ١٥ 15
And the men of Juda shouted: and it came to pass, when the men of Juda shouted, that the Lord smote Jeroboam and Israel before Abia and Juda.
فَٱنْهَزَمَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَمَامِ يَهُوذَا وَدَفَعَهُمُ ٱللهُ لِيَدِهِمْ. ١٦ 16
And the children of Israel fled from before Juda; and the Lord delivered them into their hands.
وَضَرَبَهُمْ أَبِيَّا وَقَوْمُهُ ضَرْبَةً عَظِيمَةً، فَسَقَطَ قَتْلَى مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ خَمْسُ مِئَةِ أَلْفِ رَجُلٍ مُخْتَارٍ. ١٧ 17
And Abia and his people smote them with a great slaughter: and there fell slain of Israel five hundred thousand mighty men.
فَذَلَّ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ وَتَشَجَّعَ بَنُو يَهُوذَا لِأَنَّهُمُ ٱتَّكَلُوا عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِهِمْ. ١٨ 18
So the children of Israel were brought low in that day, and the children of Juda prevailed, because they trusted on the Lord God of their fathers.
وَطَارَدَ أَبِيَّا يَرُبْعَامَ وَأَخَذَ مِنْهُ مُدُنًا: بَيْتَ إِيلَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَيَشَانَةَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَعَفْرُونَ وَقُرَاهَا. ١٩ 19
And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and he took from him the cities, Baethel and her towns, and Jesyna and her towns, and Ephron and her towns.
وَلَمْ يَقْوَ يَرُبْعَامُ بَعْدُ فِي أَيَّامِ أَبِيَّا، فَضَرَبَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ وَمَاتَ. ٢٠ 20
And Jeroboam did not recover strength again all the days of Abia: and the Lord smote him, and he died.
وَتَشَدَّدَ أَبِيَّا وَٱتَّخَذَ لِنَفْسِهِ أَرْبَعَ عَشَرَةَ ٱمْرَأَةً، وَوَلَدَ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ ٱبْنًا وَسِتَّ عَشَرَةَ بِنْتًا. ٢١ 21
But Abia strengthened himself, and took to himself fourteen wives, and he begot twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters.
وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ أَبِيَّا وَطُرُقُهُ وَأَقْوَالُهُ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي مِدْرَسِ ٱلنَّبِيِّ عِدُّو. ٢٢ 22
And the rest of the acts of Abia, and his deeds, and his sayings, are written in the book of the prophet Addo.
