2 Књига дневника 13

1 Године осамнаесте царовања Јеровоамовог зацари се Авија над Јудом.

In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah became king over Judah.

2 Три године царова у Јерусалиму. Матери му беше име Махаја, кћи Урилова из Гаваје. А беше рат између Авије и Јеровоама.

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 И Авија изиђе на бој с храбром војском, четири стотине хиљада изабраних војника; а Јеровоам уврста према њему војску, осам стотина хиљада изабраних храбрих војника.

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 И стаде Авија наврх брда Семарајима у гори Јефремовој, и рече: Чујте ме, Јеровоаме и сав Израиљу!

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 Не требаше ли вам знати да је Господ Бог Израиљев предао Давиду царство над Израиљем довека, њему и синовима његовим заветом осољеним?

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 Али уста Јеровоам син Наватов, слуга Соломуна сина Давидовог, и одврже се од господара свог.

But Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon, the son of David, took up arms against his lord.

7 И скупише се к њему људи празнови и неваљалци, и одупреше се Ровоаму, сину Соломуновом, који беше дете и страшљивог срца, те им се не одупре.

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 Па ви сад велите да се опирете царству Господњем, које је у рукама синова Давидових, јер вас је много и имате код себе златне теоце, које вам је начинио Јеровоам да су вам богови.

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 Нисте ли отерали свештенике Господње синове Аронове и Левите? И начинили себи свештенике као народи по другим земљама? Ко год дође да му се посвете руке с телетом и са седам овнова, постаје свештеник онима који нису богови.

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 Али с нама је Господ Бог, нити смо Га оставили, а свештеници који служе Господу јесу синови Аронови, и Левити раде свој посао;

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 И пале Господу жртве паљенице свако јутро и свако вече, и каде мирисима, и хлебови постављени стоје на чистом столу, и пале се свако вече жишци на златном свећњаку; јер држимо што је Господ Бог наш наредио, а ви Га остависте,

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 Зато ево с нама је напред Бог и свештеници његови и трубе гласне да трубе противу вас. Синови Израиљеви, не војујте на Господа Бога отаца својих, јер нећете бити срећни.

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 Али Јеровоам заведе заседу да им зађу за леђа, и тако Јудејцима беху спред једни а с леђа заседа.

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 И кад се обазреше Јудејци, а то бој и спред и састраг, те повикаше ка Господу а свештеници затрубише у трубе.

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 И народ Јудин опет повика, и кад викаше народ Јудин, разби Бог Јеровоама и свега Израиља пред Авијом и Јудом.

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 И побегоше синови Израиљеви од Јуде, и даде их Бог њима у руке.

And the children of Israel went in flight before Judah, and God gave them up into their hands.

17 И поби их љуто Авија и народ његов, и паде од Израиља побијених пет стотина хиљада одабраних људи.

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 Тако бише покорени синови Израиљеви у то време, а синови Јудини осилише, јер се поуздаше у Господа Бога отаца својих.

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 И Авија потера Јеровоама, и узе му градове Ветиљ и села његова, и Јесану и села њена, и Ефрон и села његова.

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 И Јеровоам се више не опорави за живота Авијиног; и удари га Господ те умре.

And Jeroboam did not get back his power again in the life-time of Abijah; and the Lord sent death on him.

21 А Авија утврди се, и узе четрнаест жена, и роди двадесет два сина и шеснаест кћери.

But Abijah became great, and had fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.

22 А остала дела Авијина и путеви његови и беседе његове записане су у књизи пророка Ида.

And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways and his sayings, are recorded in the account of the prophet Iddo.
