¹Osemnásteho roku kráľa Jeroboáma kraľoval Abiáš nad Júdom.

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

²Tri roky kraľoval v Jeruzaleme. A meno jeho matky bolo Michaja, dcéra Uriélova z Gibee. A bola vojna medzi Abiášom a medzi Jeroboámom.

²Three years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

³A Abiáš nadviazal vojnu s vojskom udatných bojovníkov, so štyristo tisíc vybranými mužmi. A Jeroboám sa prihotovil s ním do boja s osemsto tisíc vybranými mužmi udatnými.

³And 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 valor.

⁴A Abiáš sa postavil od hora vrchu Cemaraima, ktorý je v pohorí Efraimovom, a riekol: Počujte ma, Jeroboáme a celý Izrael!

⁴And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said, Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel:

⁵Či vy nemáte vedieť, že Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov, dal kráľovstvo nad Izraelom Dávidovi na veky, jemu a jeho synom smluvou soli?

⁵Ought ye not to know that Jehovah, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?

⁶Ale povstal Jeroboám, syn Nebátov, služobník Šalamúna, syna Dávidovho, a sprotivil sa svojmu pánovi!

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

⁷A sobrali sa spolu s ním bohaprázdni mužovia zaháľčiví, synovia beliála, a zmocnili sa proti Rechabeámovi, synovi Šalamúnovmu, kým Rechabeám bol dieťa a nežného srdca a neukázal sa pred nimi silným.

⁷And there were gathered unto him worthless men, base fellows, that strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender-hearted, and could not withstand them.

⁸A tak teraz vy hovoríte vo svojom srdci, že sa ukážete silnými voči kráľovstvu Hospodinovmu, ktoré je v ruke synov Dávidových, a je vás veliké množstvo a máte so sebou zlaté teľce, ktoré vám spravil Jeroboám, za bohov!

⁸And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the sons of David; and ye are a great multitude, and there are with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods.

⁹Či ste azda nezahnali kňazov Hospodinových, synov Áronových, a Levitov? A narobili ste si kňazov ako národy iných zemí; ktokoľvek prijde, aby naplnil svoju ruku juncom alebo siedmimi baranmi, nuž stane sa kňazom tomu, čo nie je Bohom.

⁹Have ye not driven out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made you priests after the manner of the peoples 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.

¹⁰Ale naším Bohom je Hospodin, a neopustili sme ho, a kňazmi, ktorí svätoslúžia Hospodinovi, sú synovia Áronovi, a Levitovia sú pri svojej práci

¹⁰But as for us, Jehovah is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and [we have] priests ministering unto Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work:

¹¹a kadiac pália Hospodinovi zápalné obeti každého rána a každého večera a kadivo z voňavých vecí, aj predloženie chleba je na čistom stole, i zlatý svietnik máme i jeho lampy, aby ich zapaľovali každého večera. Lebo my ostríhame nariadenia Hospodina, svojho Boha; ale vy ste ho opustili.

¹¹and they burn unto Jehovah every morning and every evening burnt-offerings and sweet incense: the showbread 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 Jehovah our God; but ye have forsaken him.

¹²A hľa, preto je s nami na čele Bôh ako vodca, a sú s nami jeho kňazi a trúby radostného pretrubovania, aby mocne trúbily proti vám, synovia Izraelovi! Nebojujte s Hospodinom, Bohom svojich otcov, lebo sa vám nepovodí šťastne!

¹²And, behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against Jehovah, the God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.

¹³Medzitým poslal Jeroboám úkladníkov naokolo, aby im prišli od chrbta. A tak boli pred Júdom, a úklad im bol od chrbta.

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

¹⁴A keď sa obrátili mužovia Júdovi, uvideli, že hľa, nastáva im boj zpredu aj zozadu. Vtedy kričali k Hospodinovi, a kňazi trúbili na trúby.

¹⁴And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried unto Jehovah, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.

¹⁵A mužovia Júdovi kričali, nadšení na boj. A stalo sa v tom, keď kričali mužovia Júdovi na boj, že Bôh porazil Jeroboáma i celého Izraela pred Abiášom a pred Júdom.

¹⁵Then 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.

¹⁶A synovia Izraelovi utekali pred Júdom, a Bôh ich dal do ich ruky.

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

¹⁷A tak ich porazili, Abiáš a jeho ľud, veľkou porážkou, takže padlo zabitých z Izraela päťsto tisíc vybraných mužov.

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

¹⁸A tak boli zohnutí synovia Izraelovi toho času. A zmocnili sa synovia Júdovi, lebo sa opreli na Hospodina, Boha svojich otcov.

¹⁸Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon Jehovah, the God of their fathers.

¹⁹A tedy honil Abiáš utekajúceho Jeroboáma a vzal mu mestá, Bét-el a jeho dediny, Ješanu a jej dediny a Efron a jeho dediny.

¹⁹And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Beth-el with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephron with the towns thereof.

²⁰Ani sa viacej nezmohol Jeroboám za dní Abiášových. Potom ho ranil Hospodin, aj zomrel.

²⁰Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and Jehovah smote him, and he died.

²¹A Abiáš sa zmocnil a vzal si štrnásť žien a splodil dvadsaťdva synov a šestnásť dcér.

²¹But Abijah waxed mighty, and took unto himself fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.

²²A ostatné deje Abiášove, jeho cesty a jeho slová, sú napísané vo výklade proroka Iddu.

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