2 Ljetopisa 13
1 Osamnaeste godine Jeroboamova kraljevanja zakralji se Abija nad Judejom.
In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
2 Tri je godine kraljevao u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Mikaja, Urielova kći iz Gabe. Tada izbi rat između Abije i Jeroboama.
He reigned three years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
3 Abija je izašao u boj s hrabrim ratnicima, sa četiri stotine tisuća izabranih junaka; Jeroboam je svrstao u bojni red protiv njega osam stotina tisuća ljudi, sve biranih junaka.
Abijah joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, who were mighty men of valor.
4 Abija je stao na vrh Semarajimske gore u Efrajimovu gorju i rekao: “Čujte me, Jeroboame i sav Izraele!
Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, "Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel:
5 Ne znate li da je Jahve, Bog Izraelov, predao Davidu kraljevstvo nad Izraelom zauvijek, njemu i njegovim sinovima, osoljenim savezom?
Ought you not to know that YHWH, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, even to him and to his descendants by a covenant of salt?
6 Ali se podigao Nebatov sin Jeroboam, sluga Davidova sina Salomona, i pobunio se protiv gospodara.
Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.
7 Skupili su se oko njega ljudi praznovi i nevaljalci i stali prkositi Salomonovu sinu Roboamu, koji je bio mlad i strašljiva srca te se nije umio hrabro braniti od njih.
There were gathered to him worthless men, base fellows, who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them.
8 Pa sada mislite da se možete oprijeti Jahvinu kraljevstvu što je u ruci Davidovih sinova jer vas je veliko mnoštvo i imate kod sebe zlatnu telad koju vam je napravio Jeroboam da vam budu bogovi.
"Now you think to withstand the kingdom of YHWH in the hand of the descendants of David; and you are a great multitude, and there are with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods.
9 Otjerali ste Jahvine svećenike, Aronove sinove i levite, i postavili sebi svećenike kao drugi zemaljski narodi. Tko je god došao s juncem i sa sedam ovnova, postao je svećenik vašim ništavim bogovima.
Haven't you driven out the priests of YHWH, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves after the ways of the peoples of other lands? so that whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams, the same may be a priest of those who are no gods.
10 Nama je Bog Jahve, nismo ga ostavili, a svećenici koji služe Jahvi jesu Aronovi sinovi i leviti u svojem poslu.
"But as for us, YHWH is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and we have priests ministering to YHWH, the descendants of Aaron, and the Levites in their work:
11 Pale Jahvi na kad paljenice svakoga jutra i svake večeri s mirisnim kadom, postavljaju kruhove na čist stol i upaljuju svake večeri zlatan svijećnjak sa svijećama; jer mi držimo naredbu Jahve, svojega Boga, a vi ste ga ostavili.
and they burn to YHWH every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. They also set the show bread in order on the pure table; and the lampstand of gold with its lamps, to burn every evening: for we keep the instruction of YHWH our God; but you have forsaken him.
12 Zato je, evo, nama na čelu Bog i njegovi svećenici s glasnim trubama da gromko trube protiv vas. Izraelovi sinovi, ne udarajte na Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca, jer nećete imati sreće!”
Look, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. Children of Israel, do not fight against YHWH, the God of your fathers; for you shall not prosper."
13 Ali Jeroboam zavede zasjedu da im dođe za leđa; tako su Judejcima bili jedni sprijeda, a zasjeda straga.
But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them.
14 Kad se Judejci obazreše, a ono, gle, boj im bješe sprijeda i otraga. Tada zavapiše k Jahvi, a svećenici stadoše trubiti u trube.
When Judah looked back, look, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to YHWH, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
15 Uto Judejci snažno povikaše, a kad su počeli vikati, Bog razbi Jeroboama i sav Izrael pred Abijom i Judejcima.
Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it happened, that God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16 Izraelovi sinovi pobjegoše pred Judejcima i Bog ih predade njima u ruke.
The children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand.
17 Abija je s narodom učinio velik pokolj među njima te je od Izraela palo pobijenih pet stotina tisuća izabranih ljudi.
Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
18 Tako su sinovi Izraelovi bili poniženi u to vrijeme, a Judini su sinovi ojačali, jer su se oslonili na Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca.
Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the people of Judah prevailed, because they relied on YHWH, the God of their fathers.
19 Abija je potjerao Jeroboama i osvojio od njega gradove Betel sa selima, Ješanu sa selima i Efron sa selima.
Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with its towns, and Jeshanah with its towns, and Ephron with its towns.
20 Jeroboam se više nije oporavio za Abijina života; Jahve ga je udario tako da je umro.
Jeroboam did not recover strength again in the days of Abijah. YHWH struck him, and he died.
21 Abija se utvrdio i uzeo sebi četrnaest žena te je rodio dvadeset i dva sina i šesnaest kćeri.
But Abijah grew mighty, and took to himself fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters.
22 A ostali Abijini doživljaji i njegovi pothvati i besjede zapisani su u tumačenju proroka Adona.
The rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
