2 Chronicles 13
1 In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah.
Ie amy taom-paha-folo-valo’ ambi’ Iarovamey le niorotse nifehe Iehodà t’i Abiià.
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
Telo taoñe ty nifehea’e e Ierosalaime ao; i Mikaià ana’ i Oriele nte-Gibà ty tahinan-drene’e. Nifañotakotake t’i Abiià naho Iarovame.
3 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 valour.
Nifanontoñe hialy t’i Abiià reketse mpirimbon-dahindefoñe mahimbañe, ondaty jinoboñe efats-etse; naho nilahatse hifañatreatre ama’e t’Iarovame rekets’ ondaty jinoboñe valo-hetse, ondaty maozatse nahasibeke.
4 Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, “Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel:
Nijohañe an-kaboa’ i Tsemaraime t’i Abiià am-bohibohi’ i Efraime eo, nanao ty hoe: Janjiño raho ry Iarovame naho Israele iabio;
5 Ought you not to know that the LORD, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
tsy ho napota’ areo hao te natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele amy Davide ho nainai’e donia ty fifeheañe Israele, ama’e naho amo ana-dahi’eo am-pañinan-tsira?
6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.
Fe nitroatse t’Iarovame ana’ i Nebate, mpitoro’ i Selomò ana’ i Davide vaho niola amy Talè’ey.
7 Worthless men were gathered to him, wicked fellows who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender hearted, and could not withstand them.
Niropak’ ama’e ondaty tsy manjofakeo, ana’ i Beliale, naozatse te amy Rekoboame ana’ i Selomò, ie mbe nitora’e naho tso-po t’i Rekoboame vaho tsy nahafiatreatre.
8 “Now you intend to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David. You are a great multitude, and the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods are with you.
Aa he mitsakore ty hoe nahareo t’ie hahafitroatse amy fifehea’ Iehovà am-pità’ o ana’ i Davideoy; ie valobohòke vasiañeñe vaho ama’ areo o bania volamena niranjie’ Iarovame ho ‘ndrahare’ areoo.
9 Haven’t you driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves according to the ways of the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may be a priest of those who are no gods.
Tsy fa rinoa’ areo hao o mpisoro’ Iehovào, o ana’ i Aharoneo, o nte-Levio vaho nañoriza’ areo mpisoroñe an-tsata’ ondaty an-tane ila’e añe? Aa ndra ia’ia miheo mb’eo hañori-vatañe reketse bania naho añondrilahy fito, le minjare mpisoron ‘drahare tsie.
10 “But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him. We have priests serving the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work.
Fa naho zahay, Iehovà ro Andrianañahare’ay, le tsy naforintse’ay vaho amam-pisoroñe mitoroñe Iehovà, toe mitoloñ’ amo fitoloña’ iareoo o ana’ i Aharoneo naho o nte-Levio,
11 They burn to the LORD every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. They also set the show bread in order on the pure table, and care for the gold lamp stand with its lamps, to burn every evening; for we keep the instruction of the LORD our God, but you have forsaken him.
ie misoroñe am’ Iehovà boa-maraindray naho hariva, soroñe naho emboke mañitse; naho mampidadañe i mofo miatrekey amy latabatse hiringiri’ey; naho mamelome o jiro am-pitàn-jiro volamenao boa-kariva, amy te tana’ay ty namantoha’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay; fe nifarie’ areo.
12 Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. Children of Israel, don’t fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers; for you will not prosper.”
Aa le oniño te mindre ama’ay ho mpiaolo anay t’i Andrianañahare naho mitan-trompetra fañatahatañe o mpisoro’eo, hivolan-kekoheko ama’ areo. O ry ana’ Israeleo, ko mialy am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ areo fa tsy hiraorao.
13 But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them; so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them.
Fe nampamandroñe’ Iarovame ty hiboak’ am-boho ao; aa le eo o aolo’ Iehodào vaho amboho ao o mpamandroñeo.
14 When Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
Aa ie nitolik-amboho t’Iehodà, hehe te aolo naho amboho i hotakotakey; aa le nitoreo am’ Iehovà iereo vaho nitiofe’ o mpisoroñeo o trompetrao.
15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout. As the men of Judah shouted, God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
Nampipoña-pazak’ amy zao o nte-Iehodao; aa ie nipazapazake o nte-Iehodao, le nifetsake te linihin’ Añahare t’Iarovame naho Israele iaby añatrefa’ i Abiià naho Iehoda eo,
16 The children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.
naho nitriban-day añatrefa’ Iehodà eo o ana’ Israeleo vaho tinolon’ Añahare am-pità’ iareo.
17 Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter, so five hundred thousand chosen men of Israel fell down slain.
Zinama’ i Abiià naho ondati’eo am-pizamanañe ra’elahy, kanao lime-hetse am’ondaty jinoboñeo ty nitsingoron-ko vetrake.
18 Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers.
Aa le nampiambanèñe o ana’ Israeleo henane zay vaho nandreketse o ana’ Iehodao ami’ty niatoa’ iareo am’ Iehovà, Andrianañaharen-droae’ iareo.
19 Abijah pursued Jeroboam, and took cities from him: Bethel with its villages, Jeshanah with its villages, and Ephron with its villages.
Nihoridañe’ i Abiià t’Iarovame, le nandrambesa’e rova: i Betele rekets’ o tanà’eo naho Iesanà rekets’ o tanà’eo vaho i Efrone rekets’ o tanà’eo.
20 Jeroboam didn’t recover strength again in the days of Abijah. The LORD struck him, and he died.
Tsy nahafitroatse ka t’Iarovame tañ’ andro’ i Abiià; le zinevo’ Iehovà re vaho nihomake.
21 But Abijah grew mighty and took for himself fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
Fe nihamaozatse t’i Abiià, le nañenga valy folo efats’ amby vaho nisamak’ ana-dahy roapolo-ro’ amby naho anak’ampela folo-eneñ’amby.
22 The rest of the acts of Abijah, his ways, and his sayings are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
Le o fitoloña’ i Abiìao naho o sata’eo naho o lañona’eo, tsy fa sinokitse amy fibejaña’ Idò mpitokiy hao?
