13 ¶ Jewoboram te gen dizwitan depi li te wa peyi Izrayèl la, lè Abija moute wa nan peyi Jida.

Li gouvènen pandan twazan lavil Jerizalèm. Manman l' te rele Mikaja. Se te pitit fi Ouryèl, moun lavil Gibeya. Se te yon lagè san rete ant Abija ak Jewoboram.

Abija leve yon lame katsanmil (400.000) vanyan sòlda ki konn goumen. Jewoboram bò pa l' kanpe pou goumen kont Abija ak witsanmil (800.000) vanyan sòlda ki konn goumen.

De lame yo kontre nan mòn peyi Efrayim yo. Wa Abija kanpe sou mòn Zemarayim, li pale byen fò, li di: -Koute m' non, Jewoboram ak nou tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo!

Eske se konnen nou pa konnen Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, te pase yon kontra ak David, kontra ki pa kapab kase. Dapre kontra a, li mete gouvènman pèp Izrayèl la nan men l' ak nan men fanmi l' pou tout tan.

Men, Jewoboram, pitit gason Nebat la, li menm ki t'ap sèvi ak Salomon, pitit David la, revòlte kont mèt li.

Apre sa, yon bann vòryen ak yon bann vakabon al mete tèt yo ansanm ak li, yo fòse Woboram, pitit gason Salomon an, yo fè l' fè sa yo vle, paske li te jenn, li te gen tèt fèb. Li pa t' ka kenbe tèt ak yo.

Koulye a, nou fè lide vin kraze otorite Seyè a te mete nan men fanmi David la, tou sa paske nou gen avèk nou yon gwo lame ak tout estati towo bèf an lò Jewoboram te fè pou sèvi nou bondye a.

Nou mete prèt Seyè yo, pitit Arawon yo, deyò ansanm ak moun Levi yo, lèfini nou fè tankou lòt nasyon yo, nou chwazi moun pa nou pou sèvi prèt. Nenpòt moun ki vin jwenn nou ak yon towo bèf osinon ak sèt mouton, nou fè l' prèt bondye nou yo ki pa bondye.

10 Men nou menm, se Seyè a ki Bondye nou. Nou pa janm vire do ba li. Prèt k'ap sèvi devan Seyè a se fanmi Arawon yo ye. Moun ki reskonsab sèvis yo se moun Levi yo ye.

11 Chak maten, chak aswè, y'ap ofri bèt yo boule nèt pou Seyè a ansanm ak lansan. Yo mete pen ki apa pou Bondye yo sou yon tab ki nan kondisyon pou sèvis Bondye. Chak aswè, yo limen lanp ki sou gwo lanp sèt branch lan. Nou fè tou sa Seyè a ban nou lòd fè. Men, nou menm moun peyi Izrayèl, nou vire do ba li.

12 Se Bondye menm ki alatèt nou avèk prèt li yo. Yo tou pare pou kònen twonpèt yo pou bay siyal mache pran nou. Se poutèt sa, nou menm moun peyi Izrayèl yo, pa fè lagè ak Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo. Paske se nou k'ap anba.

13 ¶ Jewoboram fè sòlda ki te dèyè yo fè yon detou al pase dèyè lame moun peyi Jida yo. Konsa, pifò sòlda li yo te kanpe sou devan lame moun Jida yo, ak yon bon valè sòlda li yo sou dèyè yo.

14 Lè moun peyi Jida yo voye je alawonn, yo wè yo te sènen sou devan ak sou dèyè, yo rele mande Seyè a sekou. Prèt yo menm pran kònen twonpèt yo.

15 Moun Jida yo bay yon sèl rèl byen fò, epi yo atake. Bondye fè Jewoboram ak tout lame moun Izrayèl yo pèdi devan Abija ak moun Jida yo.

16 Moun Izrayèl yo pran kouri pou moun Jida yo, Bondye lage yo nan men moun Jida yo.

17 Abija ak sòlda li yo touye yon pakèt ladan yo. Yo touye senksanmil (500.000) nan pi bon sòlda lame pèp Izrayèl la.

18 Se konsa moun peyi Izrayèl yo soti wont nan batay la, men moun peyi Jida yo soti pi fò, paske se sou Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, yo te apiye.

19 Abija kouri dèyè Jewoboram, li pran lavil Betèl, lavil Jesana ak lavil Efwon ansanm ak tout ti bouk ki te sou kont yo.

20 Jewoboram pa janm pran pye ankò pandan tout rèy Abija. Bout pou bout, Seyè a frape l', li mouri.

21 Abija menm te vin pi fò toujou, li te gen katòz fanm ki te fè vennde pitit gason ak sèz pitit fi pou li.

22 Tout rès istwa Abija a, tou sa li te fè ak tou sa li te di, nou jwenn yo nan liv istwa pwofèt Ido te ekri a.

Abijah King of Judah(A)

13 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam, Abijah became king of Judah, 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) 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.

Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim,(E) in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, “Jeroboam and all Israel,(F) listen to me! 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) Yet Jeroboam son of Nebat, an official of Solomon son of David, rebelled(I) against his master. 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.

“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. 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.
