2 Mga Cronica 13

1Nang ikalabing walong taon ng haring Jeroboam ay nagpasimula si Abias na maghari sa Juda. 2Tatlong taong naghari siya sa Jerusalem: at ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Michaia na anak ni Uriel na taga Gabaa. At nagkaroon ng digmaan si Abias at si Jeroboam. 3At si Abias ay nagpisan sa pakikipagbaka ng isang hukbo na matatapang na lalaking mangdidigma, na apat na raang libo, na mga piling lalake: at humanay si Jeroboam sa pakikipagbaka laban sa kaniya na may walong daang libo, na piling mga lalake, na mga makapangyarihang lalaking may tapang. 4At si Abias ay tumayo sa bundok ng Semaraim, na nasa lupaing maburol ng Ephraim, at nagsabi, Dinggin ninyo ako, Oh Jeroboam at buong Israel; 5Hindi ba ninyo nalalaman na ibinigay ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, ang kaharian sa Israel kay David magpakailan man, sa kaniya at sa kaniyang mga anak, sa pamamagitan ng tipan na asin? 6Gayon ma'y si Jeroboam na anak ni Nabat, na lingkod ni Salomon na anak ni David, ay tumindig, at nanghimagsik laban sa kaniyang panginoon. 7At napisan sa kaniya ay mga walang kabuluhang lalake, na mga hamak na tao, na nangagpakatibay laban kay Roboam na anak ni Salomon, nang si Roboam ay bata at malumanay na puso, at hindi makapanaig sa kanila. 8At ngayo'y inyong inaakalang daigin ang kaharian ng Panginoon sa kamay ng mga anak ni David; at kayo'y isang malaking karamihan, at mayroon kayong mga gintong guya, na ginawang mga dios sa inyo ni Jeroboam. 9Hindi ba ninyo pinalayas ang mga saserdote ng Panginoon, na mga anak ni Aaron, at ang mga Levita, at kayo'y naghalal ng mga saserdote na ayon sa kaugalian ng mga bayan ng mga ibang lupain? na anopa't sinomang naparoroon upang tumalaga sa pamamagitan ng isang guyang baka, at pitong lalaking tupa, yao'y maaaring saserdote sa mga yaon na hindi mga dios. 10Nguni't tungkol sa amin, ang Panginoon ay ang aming Dios, at hindi namin pinabayaan siya; at mayroon kaming mga saserdote na nagsisipangasiwa sa Panginoon, ang mga anak ni Aaron, at ang mga Levita sa kanilang gawain: 11At sila'y nagsisipagsunog sa Panginoon tuwing umaga at tuwing hapon ng mga handog na susunugin at ng mainam na kamangyan: ang tinapay na handog naman ay inihanay nila sa dulang na dalisay; at ang kandelerong ginto na may mga ilawan, upang magsipagningas tuwing hapon: sapagka't aming iningatan ang bilin ng Panginoon naming Dios; nguni't pinabayaan ninyo siya. 12At, narito, ang Dios ay nangungulo sa amin, at ang kaniyang mga saserdote ay mga may pakakak na panghudyat, upang mangagpatunog ng hudyat laban sa iyo. Oh mga anak ni Israel, huwag kayong mangakipaglaban sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng inyong mga magulang; sapagka't kayo'y hindi magsisiginhawa. 13Nguni't pinaligid sa likuran nila ni Jeroboam ang isang kawal na bakay: na anopa't sila'y nangasa harap ng Juda, at ang bakay ay nasa likuran nila. 14At nang ang Juda ay lumingon, narito, ang pagbabaka'y nasa harap at likuran nila: at sila'y nagsidaing sa Panginoon, at ang mga saserdote ay nangagpatunog ng mga pakakak. 15Nang magkagayo'y nagsihiyaw ang mga lalake ng Juda: at habang nagsisihiyaw ang mga anak ng Juda, nangyari, na sinaktan ng Dios si Jeroboam at ang buong Israel sa harap ni Abias at ng Juda. 16At ang mga anak ni Israel ay nagsitakas sa harap ng Juda: at ibinigay ng Dios sila sa kanilang kamay. 17At pinatay sila ni Abias at ng kaniyang bayan ng malaking pagpatay: sa gayo'y nangabuwal na patay sa Israel ay limang daang libo na piling mga lalake. 18Ganito nangasakop ang mga anak ni Israel nang panahong yaon, at ang mga anak ni Juda ay nagsipanaig, sapagka't sila'y nagsitiwala sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng kanilang mga magulang. 19At hinabol ni Abias si Jeroboam, at inagawan siya ng mga bayan, ang Beth-el pati ng mga nayon niyaon, at ang Jesana pati ng mga nayon niyaon at ang Ephron pati ng mga nayon niyaon. 20Na hindi man nagsauling lakas si Jeroboam uli sa mga kaarawan ni Abias: at sinaktan siya ng Panginoon at siya'y namatay. 21Nguni't si Abias ay naging makapangyarihan, at nagasawa ng labing apat, at nagkaanak ng dalawang pu't dalawang lalake, at labing anim na babae. 22At ang iba sa mga gawa ni Abias, at ang kaniyang mga lakad, at ang kaniyang mga sabi ay nangakasulat sa kasaysayan ni Iddo na propeta.

1In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah. 2He reigned three years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. 3Abijah 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. 4Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, “Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel: 5Ought you not to know that Yahweh, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? 6Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord. 7There were gathered to him worthless men, base fellows, who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender hearted, and could not withstand them. 8“Now you think to withstand the kingdom of Yahweh in the hand of the sons of David; and you are a great multitude, and there are with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods. 9Haven’t you driven out the priests of Yahweh, 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“But as for us, Yahweh is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and we have priests ministering to Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work: 11and they burn to Yahweh every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. They also set the show bread in order on the pure table; and the lamp stand of gold with its lamps, to burn every evening: for we keep the instruction of Yahweh our God; but you have forsaken him. 12Behold, 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 Yahweh, the God of your fathers; for you shall not prosper.” 13But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them. 14When Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to Yahweh, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. 15Then the men of Judah gave a shout. As the men of Judah shouted, God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. 16The children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand. 17Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. 18Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied on Yahweh, the God of their fathers. 19Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with its towns, and Jeshanah with its towns, and Ephron with its towns. 20Jeroboam didn’t recover strength again in the days of Abijah. Yahweh struck him, and he died. 21But Abijah grew mighty, and took to himself fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters. 22The rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.

1In het achttiende jaar van den koning Jerobeam, zo werd Abia koning over Juda. 2Hij regeerde drie jaren te Jeruzalem; en de naam zijner moeder was Michaja, de dochter van Uriel, van Gibea; en er was krijg tussen Abia en tussen Jerobeam. 3En Abia bond den strijd aan met een heir van strijdbare helden, vierhonderd duizend uitgelezen mannen; en Jerobeam stelde tegen hem de slagorde, met achthonderd duizend uitgelezen mannen, kloeke helden. 4En Abia maakte zich op van boven den berg Zemaraim, dewelke is in het gebergte van Efraim; en hij zeide: Hoort mij toe, Jerobeam, en gans Israel! 5Staat het u niet toe te weten, dat de HEERE, de God Israels, het koninkrijk over Israel aan David gegeven heeft, tot in eeuwigheid, hem en zijn zonen, met een zoutverbond? 6Evenwel is Jerobeam, de zoon van Nebat, de knecht van Salomo, den zoon van David, opgestaan, en heeft gerebelleerd tegen zijn heer. 7Daartoe hebben zich ijdele mannen, kinderen Belials, tot hem vergaderd, en hebben zich sterk gemaakt tegen Rehabeam, den zoon van Salomo, als Rehabeam jong was en teder van hart, dat hij zich tegen hen niet kon versterken. 8En nu, gij denkt u te versterken tegen het koninkrijk des HEEREN, hetwelk in de hand is der zonen van David; gij zijt wel een grote menigte, maar gij hebt gouden kalveren bij u, die u Jerobeam tot goden gemaakt heeft. 9Hebt gij niet de priesteren des HEEREN, de zonen van Aaron, en de Levieten uitgedreven, en hebt u priesteren gemaakt, gelijk de volken der landen? Een iegelijk, die komt om zijn hand te vullen met een jong rund en zeven rammen, die wordt priester dergenen, die geen goden zijn. 10Maar ons aangaande, de HEERE is onze God, en wij hebben Hem niet verlaten; en de priesters, die den HEERE dienen, zijn de zonen van Aaron, en de Levieten zijn in het werk. 11En zij steken aan voor den HEERE brandofferen, op elken morgen en op elken avond, ook reukwerk van welriekende specerijen, nevens de toerichting des broods op de reine tafel, en den gouden kandelaar en zijn lampen, om die op elken avond te doen branden; want wij nemen waar de wacht des HEEREN, onzes Gods; maar gij hebt Hem verlaten. 12Daarom ziet, God is met ons aan de spitse, en Zijn priesteren met de trompetten des geklanks, om tegen u alarmgeklank te maken; o kinderen Israels, strijdt niet tegen den HEERE, den God uwer vaderen, want gij zult geen voorspoed hebben. 13Maar Jerobeam deed een achterlage omwenden, om van achter hen te komen; zo waren zij voor het aangezicht van Juda, en de achterlage was achter hen. 14Toen nu Juda omzag, ziet, zo hadden zij den strijd voor en achter; en zij riepen tot den HEERE, en de priesters trompetten met de trompetten. 15En de mannen van Juda maakten een alarmgeschrei; en het geschiedde, als de mannen van Juda een alarmgeschrei maakten, dat God Jerobeam en het ganse Israel sloeg voor Abia en Juda. 16En de kinderen Israels vloden voor het aangezicht van Juda; en God gaf hen in hun hand. 17Abia dan, en zijn volk, sloeg hen met een groten slag; want uit Israel vielen verslagen vijfhonderd duizend uitgelezen mannen. 18Alzo werden de kinderen Israels vernederd te dier tijd; maar de kinderen van Juda werden machtig, dewijl zij op den HEERE, hunner vaderen God, gesteund hadden. 19En Abia jaagde Jerobeam achterna, en nam van hem de steden, Beth-El met haar onderhorige plaatsen, en Jesana met haar onderhorige plaatsen, en Efron met haar onderhorige plaatsen. 20En Jerobeam behield geen kracht meer in de dagen van Abia; maar de HEERE sloeg hem, dat hij stierf. 21Zo versterkte zich Abia; en hij nam zich veertien vrouwen, en gewon twee en twintig zonen en zestien dochteren. 22Het overige nu der geschiedenissen van Abia, zo zijn wegen als zijn woorden, zijn beschreven in de historie van den profeet Iddo.
