Erinnya lya nnyina yali Mikaaya muwala wa Uliyeri ow’e Gibea. 3 Ne waba olutalo wakati wa Abiya ne Yerobowaamu. Abiya n’agenda mu lutalo ng’alina eggye lya basajja emitwalo amakumi ana, ate Yerobowaamu ng’alina abasajja emitwalo kinaana. 4 (B)Awo Abiya n’ayimirira ku Lusozi Zemalayimu mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Efulayimu, n’ayogera nti, “Yerobowaamu ne Isirayiri yenna, mumpulirize! 5 (C)Temumanyi nga Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, yagabula obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri eri Dawudi ne zadde lye emirembe gyonna olw’endagaano ey’omunnyo? 6 (D)Naye Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati, omuddu wa Sulemaani mutabani wa Dawudi, n’amugolokokerako n’amujeemera. 7 (E)Era waaliwo abasajja abalalulalu abamu abeegatta ku Yerobowaamu ne bajeemera Lekobowaamu mutabani wa Sulemaani bwe yali omuto, nga talina kyayinza kusalawo, nga n’amaanyi ag’okubaziyiza tagalina.
8 (F)“Kaakano mulowooza nti muyinza okwaŋŋanga obwakabaka bwa Mukama obuli mu mikono gy’abazzukulu ba Dawudi, kubanga muli ekibiina kinene, abalina n’ennyana eza zaabu Yerobowaamu ze yabakolera okuba bakatonda bammwe abalala? 9 (G)Mwagoba bakabona ba Mukama, batabani ba Alooni, n’Abaleevi, ne mussaawo bakabona abammwe ng’amawanga ag’omu nsi endala bwe gakola. Buli aleeta ente ennume ento n’endiga ennume musanvu ayinza okwewaayo okufuuka kabona wa bakatonda abalala.
10 “Naye ffe, Mukama ye Katonda waffe, era tetumuvangako. Bakabona abaweereza Mukama, batabani ba Alooni, era bayambibwako Abaleevi. 11 (H)Buli nkya na buli kawungeezi bawaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’obubaane obwa kawoowo eri Mukama, ne bategeka n’emigaati egy’okulaga ku mmeeza eya zaabu omwereere, ne bakoleeza n’ettaala eziri ku bikondo ebya zaabu buli kawungeezi. Tugondera Mukama Katonda waffe nga tukola bye yatukuutira, naye mmwe mwamuvaako. 12 (I)Laba, Katonda ali naffe, era ye mukulembeze waffe, era ne bakabona be banaafuuwa amakondeere mu maloboozi ag’olutalo, okuggulawo okulwana nammwe. Abasajja Abayisirayiri temulwanyisa Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjammwe, temujja kuwangula.”

Abijah King of Judah(A)
13 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam, Abijah became king of Judah, 2 and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Maakah,[a](B) a daughter[b] of Uriel of Gibeah.
There was war between Abijah(C) and Jeroboam.(D) 3 Abijah went into battle with an army of four hundred thousand able fighting men, and Jeroboam drew up a battle line against him with eight hundred thousand able troops.
4 Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim,(E) in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, “Jeroboam and all Israel,(F) listen to me! 5 Don’t you know that the Lord, the God of Israel, has given the kingship of Israel to David and his descendants forever(G) by a covenant of salt?(H) 6 Yet Jeroboam son of Nebat, an official of Solomon son of David, rebelled(I) against his master. 7 Some worthless scoundrels(J) gathered around him and opposed Rehoboam son of Solomon when he was young and indecisive(K) and not strong enough to resist them.
8 “And now you plan to resist the kingdom of the Lord, which is in the hands of David’s descendants.(L) You are indeed a vast army and have with you(M) the golden calves(N) that Jeroboam made to be your gods. 9 But didn’t you drive out the priests(O) of the Lord,(P) the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and make priests of your own as the peoples of other lands do? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull(Q) and seven rams(R) may become a priest of what are not gods.(S)
10 “As for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken him. The priests who serve the Lord are sons of Aaron, and the Levites assist them. 11 Every morning and evening(T) they present burnt offerings and fragrant incense(U) to the Lord. They set out the bread on the ceremonially clean table(V) and light the lamps(W) on the gold lampstand every evening. We are observing the requirements of the Lord our God. But you have forsaken him. 12 God is with us; he is our leader. His priests with their trumpets will sound the battle cry against you.(X) People of Israel, do not fight against the Lord,(Y) the God of your ancestors, for you will not succeed.”(Z)
13 Now Jeroboam had sent troops around to the rear, so that while he was in front of Judah the ambush(AA) was behind them. 14 Judah turned and saw that they were being attacked at both front and rear. Then they cried out(AB) to the Lord. The priests blew their trumpets 15 and the men of Judah raised the battle cry. At the sound of their battle cry, God routed Jeroboam and all Israel(AC) before Abijah and Judah. 16 The Israelites fled before Judah, and God delivered(AD) them into their hands. 17 Abijah and his troops inflicted heavy losses on them, so that there were five hundred thousand casualties among Israel’s able men. 18 The Israelites were subdued on that occasion, and the people of Judah were victorious because they relied(AE) on the Lord, the God of their ancestors.
19 Abijah pursued Jeroboam and took from him the towns of Bethel, Jeshanah and Ephron, with their surrounding villages. 20 Jeroboam did not regain power during the time of Abijah. And the Lord struck him down and he died.
21 But Abijah grew in strength. He married fourteen wives and had twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
22 The other events of Abijah’s reign, what he did and what he said, are written in the annotations of the prophet Iddo.

King James Version
13 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
3 And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour.
4 And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel;
5 Ought ye not to know that the Lord God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord.
7 And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them.
8 And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with your golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.
9 Have ye not cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods.
10 But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the Lord, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business:
11 And they burn unto the Lord every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the Lord our God; but ye have forsaken him.
12 And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the Lord God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.
13 But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.
14 And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto the Lord, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16 And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand.
17 And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
18 Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the Lord God of their fathers.
19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephraim with the towns thereof.
20 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the Lord struck him, and he died.
21 But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.
22 And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.
