فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّامِنَةَ عَشَرَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ يَرُبْعَامَ، مَلَكَ أَبِيَّا عَلَى يَهُوذَا. ١ 1
In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah.
مَلَكَ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ مِيخَايَا بِنْتُ أُورِيئِيلَ مِنْ جَبْعَةَ. وَكَانَتْ حَرْبٌ بَيْنَ أَبِيَّا وَيَرُبْعَامَ. ٢ 2
He ruled for three years in Jerusalem; his mother's name was Macaiah, the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was war between Abijah 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
Abijah went into battle with an army of strong, courageous soldiers, 400,000 chosen men. Jeroboam placed battle lines against him with 800,000 chosen men, strong, courageous soldiers.
وَقَامَ أَبِيَّا عَلَى جَبَلِ صَمَارَايِمَ ٱلَّذِي فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَقَالَ: «ٱسْمَعُونِي يَا يَرُبْعَامُ وَكُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٤ 4
Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, “Listen to me, Jeroboam and all Israel!
أَمَا لَكُمْ أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَعْطَى ٱلْمُلْكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ لِدَاوُدَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ وَلِبَنِيهِ بِعَهْدِ مِلْحٍ؟ ٥ 5
Do you not know that Yahweh, the God of Israel, gave the rule over Israel to David forever, to him and to his sons by a formal covenant?
فَقَامَ يَرُبْعَامُ بْنُ نَبَاطَ عَبْدُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ وَعَصَى سَيِّدَهُ. ٦ 6
Yet Jeroboam son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon son of David, rose up and rebelled against his master.
فَٱجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ رِجَالٌ بَطَّالُونَ بَنُو بَلِيَّعَالَ وَتَشَدَّدُوا عَلَى رَحُبْعَامَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَكَانَ رَحُبْعَامُ فَتًى رَقِيقَ ٱلْقَلْبِ فَلَمْ يَثْبُتْ أَمَامَهُمْ. ٧ 7
Worthless men, base fellows, gathered to him. They came against Rehoboam son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and inexperienced and could not withstand them.
وَٱلْآنَ أَنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ إِنَّكُمْ تَثْبُتُونَ أَمَامَ مَمْلَكَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ بِيَدِ بَنِي دَاوُدَ، وَأَنْتُمْ جُمْهُورٌ كَثِيرٌ وَمَعَكُمْ عُجُولُ ذَهَبٍ قَدْ عَمِلَهَا يَرُبْعَامُ لَكُمْ آلِهَةً. ٨ 8
So now you plan to resist the kingdom of Yahweh that is held within the hand of the descendants of David, because you are a large army, and you have the golden calves that Jeroboam made to be your 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
But did you not drive out the priests of Yahweh, the descendants of Aaron, and the Levites, and make priests of your own in the same way as the people of other lands do? Whoever comes to serve as a priest, sacrificing a young bullock and seven rams, he becomes a priest of what are not gods.
وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَٱلرَّبُّ هُوَ إِلَهُنَا، وَلَمْ نَتْرُكْهُ. وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ ٱلْخَادِمُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ هُمْ بَنُو هَارُونَ وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ فِي ٱلْعَمَلِ، ١٠ 10
But as for us, Yahweh is our God, and we have not forsaken him. We have priests, descendants of Aaron, serving Yahweh, and the Levites, who are at their work.
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
Every morning and evening they burn for Yahweh burnt offerings and sweet incense. They also arrange the bread of the presence on the pure table; they also tend the lampstand of gold with its lamps, for them to burn every evening. We keep the commandments of Yahweh, our God, but you 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
See, God is with us at our head, and his priests are here with the trumpets to sound an alarm against you. People of Israel, do not fight against Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, for you will not succeed.”
وَلَكِنْ يَرُبْعَامُ جَعَلَ ٱلْكَمِينَ يَدُورُ لِيَأْتِيَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ. فَكَانُوا أَمَامَ يَهُوذَا وَٱلْكَمِينُ خَلْفَهُمْ. ١٣ 13
But Jeroboam prepared an ambush behind them; his army was in front of Judah, and the ambush was behind them.
فَٱلْتَفَتَ يَهُوذَا وَإِذَا ٱلْحَرْبُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ قُدَّامٍ وَمِنْ خَلْفٍ. فَصَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، وَبَوَّقَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ، ١٤ 14
When Judah looked back, behold, the fighting was both in front of them and behind them. They cried out to Yahweh, and the priests blew the trumpets.
وَهَتَفَ رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا. وَلَمَّا هَتَفَ رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا ضَرَبَ ٱللهُ يَرُبْعَامَ وَكُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَمَامَ أَبِيَّا وَيَهُوذَا. ١٥ 15
Then the men of Judah gave a shout; as they shouted, it came about that God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
فَٱنْهَزَمَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَمَامِ يَهُوذَا وَدَفَعَهُمُ ٱللهُ لِيَدِهِمْ. ١٦ 16
The people of Israel fled before Judah, and God gave them into the hand of Judah.
وَضَرَبَهُمْ أَبِيَّا وَقَوْمُهُ ضَرْبَةً عَظِيمَةً، فَسَقَطَ قَتْلَى مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ خَمْسُ مِئَةِ أَلْفِ رَجُلٍ مُخْتَارٍ. ١٧ 17
Abijah and his army killed them with great slaughter; 500,000 chosen men of Israel fell dead.
فَذَلَّ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ وَتَشَجَّعَ بَنُو يَهُوذَا لِأَنَّهُمُ ٱتَّكَلُوا عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِهِمْ. ١٨ 18
In this way, the people of Israel were subdued at that time; the people of Judah won because they relied on Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.
وَطَارَدَ أَبِيَّا يَرُبْعَامَ وَأَخَذَ مِنْهُ مُدُنًا: بَيْتَ إِيلَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَيَشَانَةَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَعَفْرُونَ وَقُرَاهَا. ١٩ 19
Abijah pursued Jeroboam; he took cities from him: Bethel with its villages, Jeshanah with its villages, and Ephron with its villages.
وَلَمْ يَقْوَ يَرُبْعَامُ بَعْدُ فِي أَيَّامِ أَبِيَّا، فَضَرَبَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ وَمَاتَ. ٢٠ 20
Jeroboam never recovered power again during the days of Abijah; Yahweh struck him, and he died.
وَتَشَدَّدَ أَبِيَّا وَٱتَّخَذَ لِنَفْسِهِ أَرْبَعَ عَشَرَةَ ٱمْرَأَةً، وَوَلَدَ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ ٱبْنًا وَسِتَّ عَشَرَةَ بِنْتًا. ٢١ 21
But Abijah became powerful; he took fourteen wives for himself and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ أَبِيَّا وَطُرُقُهُ وَأَقْوَالُهُ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي مِدْرَسِ ٱلنَّبِيِّ عِدُّو. ٢٢ 22
The rest of Abijah's deeds, his behavior, and words are written in the history of the prophet Iddo.
