¹Kuningas Jerobeami kaheksateistkümnendal aastal sai Abija Juuda kuningaks.

¹In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.

²Ta valitses Jeruusalemmas kolm aastat; ta ema nimi oli Miikaja, Uurieli tütar Gibeast. Aga Abija ja Jerobeami vahel oli sõda.

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.

³Ja Abija alustas sõda sangarite väega, neljasaja tuhande valitud mehega, aga Jerobeam rivistas tapluseks tema vastu kaheksasada tuhat valitud meest, sõjakangelast.

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.

⁴Ja Abija tõusis Semaraimi mäele, mis on Efraimi mäestikus, ja ütles: 'Kuulge mind, Jerobeam ja kogu Iisrael!

⁴Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, “Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel:

⁵Kas te ei tea, et Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, on andnud Taavetile ja tema poegadele valitsuse Iisraeli üle igaveseks ajaks nagu soolaosaduse?

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?

⁶Aga Jerobeam, Nebati poeg, Taaveti poja Saalomoni sulane, on tõusnud ja oma isandale vastu hakanud.

⁶Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.

⁷Tema juurde kogunes tühiseid, kõlvatuid mehi, ja need olid üle Rehabeamist, Saalomoni pojast, kuna Rehabeam oli noor ja arglik ega suutnud ennast nende vastu maksma panna.

⁷There were gathered to him worthless men, base fellows, who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them.

⁸Ja nüüd mõtlete teie endid maksma panna Issanda kuningriigi vastu, mis on Taaveti poegade käes, sellepärast et teid on suur hulk ja teie poolt on kuldvasikad, mis Jerobeam on teinud teile jumalaiks!

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.

⁹Kas te pole mitte ära ajanud Issanda preestreid, Aaroni poegi, ja leviite, ja endile ise preestreid teinud nagu teiste maade rahvad? Igaüks, kes tuli härjavärsi ja seitsme jääraga oma kätt täitma, sai preestriks neile, kes pole jumalad.

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.

¹⁰Aga meie Jumal on Issand ja meie ei ole teda maha jätnud! Aaroni pojad teenivad preestritena Issandat ja leviidid on ametis.

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:

¹¹Nad ohverdavad Issandale igal hommikul ja õhtul põletusohvreid ja healõhnalisi suitsutusrohte; nad seavad leivad puhta laua peale ja süütavad igal õhtul kuldlambijala lambid põlema. Sest me täidame Issanda, meie Jumala antud kohustusi, teie olete aga tema maha jätnud!

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 lampstand of gold with its lamps, to burn every evening: for we keep the instruction of Yahweh our God; but you have forsaken him.

¹²Ja vaata, koos meiega, kõige ees on Jumal ja tema preestrid ja märgupasunad, mis teie vastu hüüavad. Iisraeli lapsed, ärge võidelge Issanda, oma vanemate Jumala vastu, sest see teil ei õnnestu!'

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.”

¹³Aga Jerobeam oli lasknud varitsejad ringi minna, et need läheksid neile tagant kallale; nad ise olid juudalaste ees, kuna varitsejad olid nende taga.

¹³But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them.

¹⁴Kui juudalased pöördusid, vaata, siis oli neil võitlus eest ja tagant. Nad kisendasid Issanda poole ja preestrid puhusid pasunaid.

¹⁴When Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to Yahweh, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.

¹⁵Ja Juuda mehed tõstsid sõjakisa. Ja sündis, et kui Juuda mehed sõjakisa tõstsid, siis lõi Jumal Jerobeami ja kogu Iisraeli maha Abija ja Juuda ees.

¹⁵Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it happened, that God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

¹⁶Ja Iisraeli lapsed põgenesid Juuda eest, aga Jumal andis nad tema kätte.

¹⁶The children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand.

¹⁷Abija ja ta rahvas lõid neid suuresti ja Iisraelist langes mahalööduina viissada tuhat valitud meest.

¹⁷Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.

¹⁸Nõnda alandati seekord Iisraeli lapsed; juudalased aga panid endid maksma, sest nad toetusid Issandale, oma vanemate Jumalale.

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.

¹⁹Ja Abija ajas Jerobeami taga ning vallutas temalt linnad: Peeteli ja selle tütarlinnad, Jesana ja selle tütarlinnad, Efroni ja selle tütarlinnad.

¹⁹Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with its towns, and Jeshanah with its towns, and Ephron with its towns.

²⁰Jerobeam aga ei saanud Abija päevil enam jõudu koguda, sest Issand lõi teda, nõnda et ta suri.

²⁰Jeroboam didn’t recover strength again in the days of Abijah. Yahweh struck him, and he died.

²¹Aga Abija sai vägevaks. Ta võttis enesele neliteist naist ja temale sündis kakskümmend kaks poega ja kuusteist tütart.

²¹But Abijah grew mighty, and took to himself fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters.

²²Ja muud Abija lood, tema teod ja sõnad, on kirja pandud prohvet Iddo 'Seletustes'.

²²The rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.

²³Siis Abija läks magama oma vanemate juurde ja ta maeti Taaveti linna. Ja tema poeg Aasa sai tema asemel kuningaks. Tema päevil oli maal kümme aastat rahu.
