2 Kroniška 13

1 Torej v osemnajstem letu kralja Jerobeáma, je nad Judom začel kraljevati Abíja.

In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abia reigned over Juda.

2 Tri leta je kraljeval v Jeruzalemu. Ime njegove matere je bilo Mihajá, Uriélova hči iz Gíbee. In bila je vojna med Abíjem in Jerobeámom.

Three years he reigned in Jerusalem, and his mother’s name was Michaia, the daughter of Uriel of Gabaa: and there was war between Abia and Jeroboam.

3 Abíja se je postrojil z vojsko hrabrih bojevnikov, celó štiristo tisoč izbranih mož. Tudi Jerobeám se je postrojil zoper njega z osemsto tisoč izbranimi možmi, ki so bili močni junaški možje.

And when Abia had begun battle, and had with him four hundred thousand most valiant and chosen men, Jeroboam put his army in array against him, eight hundred thousand men, who were also chosen and most valiant for war.

4 Abíja je stal na gori Cemarájim, ki je na gori Efrájim in rekel: »Poslušaj me, ti Jerobeám in ves Izrael,

And Abia stood upon mount Semeron, which was in Ephraim, and said: Hear me, O Jeroboam, and all Israel:

5 ne veste, da je Gospod, Izraelov Bog, dal kraljestvo nad Izraelom Davidu na veke, celó njemu in njegovim sinovom s solno zavezo?

Do you not know that the Lord God of Israel gave to David the kingdom over Israel for ever, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?

6 Vendar je Nebátov sin Jerobeám, služabnik Davidovega sina Salomona, vstal in se uprl zoper svojega gospoda.

And Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up: and rebelled against his lord.

7 In k njemu so bili zbrani praznoglavi možje, Beliálovi otroci in so se okrepili zoper Salomonovega sina Rehabáma, ko je bil Rehabám mlad in nežnega srca in se jim ni mogel zoperstaviti.

And there were gathered to him vain men, and children of Belial: and they prevailed against Roboam the son of Solomon: for Roboam was unexperienced, and of a fearful heart, and could not resist them.

8 In sedaj se vi mislite zoperstaviti Gospodovemu kraljestvu v roki Davidovih sinov. Vas je velika množica in tam sta z vami zlati teleti, katera vam je Jerobeám naredil za bogova.

And now you say that you are able to withstand the kingdom of the Lord, which he possesseth by the sons of David, and you have a great multitude of people, and golden calves, which Jeroboam hath made you for gods.

9 Mar niste vrgli ven Gospodove duhovnike, Aronove sinove in Lévijevce in ste si naredili duhovnike po načinu narodov drugih dežel? Tako da kdorkoli prihaja, da sebe umésti z mladim bikcem in sedmimi ovni, isti lahko postane duhovnik tistim, ki so ne-bogovi.

And you have cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites: and you have made you priests, like all the nations of the earth: whosoever cometh and consecrateth his hand with a bullock of the herd, and with seven rams, is made a priest of those who are no gods.

10 Toda kar se nas tiče, je Gospod naš Bog in mi ga nismo zapustili, in duhovniki, ki služijo Gospodu, so Aronovi sinovi in Lévijevci čakajo na svoj posel.

But the Lord is our God, whom we forsake not, and the priests who minister to the Lord are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites are in their order.

11 Vsako jutro in vsak večer Gospodu zažigajo žgalne daritve in dišeče kadilo. Tudi hlebe navzočnosti postavljajo na čisto mizo in zlati svečnik z njegovimi svetilkami prižigajo vsak večer. Kajti mi se držimo naročila Gospoda, našega Boga, toda vi ste ga zapustili.

And they offer holocausts to the Lord, every day, morning and evening, and incense made according to the ordinance of the law, and the leaves are set forth on a most clean table, and there is with us the golden candlestick, and the lamps thereof, to be lighted always in the evening: for we keep the precepts of the Lord our God, whom you have forsaken.

12 Glejte, sam Bog je z nami za našega poveljnika in njegovi duhovniki z donenjem trobent, da zoper vas zatrobijo alarm. Oh Izraelovi otroci, ne borite se zoper Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov, kajti ne boste uspeli.«

Therefore God is the leader in our army, and his priests who sound with trumpets, and resound against you: O children of Israel, fight not against the Lord the God of your fathers, for it is not good for you.

13 Toda Jerobeám je velel zasedi, da pride naokrog za njimi. Tako so bili pred Judom in zaseda je bila za njimi.

While he spoke these things, Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind him. And while he stood facing the enemies, he encompassed Juda. who perceived it not, with his army.

14 Ko je Juda pogledal nazaj, glej, bitka je bila spredaj in zadaj. Zavpili so h Gospodu in duhovniki so zatrobili s trobentami.

And when Juda looked back, they saw the battle coming upon them both before and behind, and they cried to the Lord: and the priests began to sound with the trumpets.

15 Potem so možje iz Juda zakričali in ko so možje iz Juda zakričali, se je pripetilo, da je Bog udaril Jerobeáma in ves Izrael pred Abíjem in Judom.

And all the men of Juda shouted: and behold when they shouted, God terrified Jeroboam, and all Israel that stood against Abia and Juda.

16 Izraelovi otroci so pobegnili pred Judom in Bog jih je izročil v njihovo roko.

And the children of Israel fled before Juda, and the Lord delivered them into their hand.

17 Abíja in njegovo ljudstvo jih je umorilo z velikim pokolom. Tako so tam padli umorjeni Izraelci, petsto tisoč izbranih mož.

And Abia and his people slew them with a great slaughter, and there fell wounded of Israel five hundred thousand valiant men.

18 Tako so bili Izraelovi otroci ob tistem času podjarmljeni, Judovi otroci pa so prevladali, ker so se zanašali na Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov.

And the children of Israel were brought down, at that time, and the children of Juda were exceedingly strengthened, because they had trusted in the Lord the God of their fathers.

19 Abíja je zasledoval Jerobeáma in od njega vzel mesta: Betel z njegovimi mesti, Ješáno z njenimi mesti in Efrón z njegovimi mesti.

And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel and her daughters, and Jesana with her daughters, Ephron also and her daughters.

20 Niti ni Jerobeám ponovno obnovil moči v Abíjevih dneh, in Gospod ga je udaril in je umrl.

And Jeroboam was not able to resist any more, in the days of Abia: and the Lord struck him, and he died.

21 Toda Abíja je postal mogočen in poročil štirinajst žena ter zaplodil dvaindvajset sinov in šestnajst hčera.

But Abia, being strengthened in his kingdom, took fourteen wives: and begot two and twenty sons, and sixteen daughters.

22 Ostala Abíjeva dela, njegove poti in njegove besede so zapisane v zgodbi preroka Idója.

And the rest of the acts of Abia, and of his ways and works, are written diligently in the book of Addo the prophet.
