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

¹Haddaba sannaddii siddeed iyo tobnaad ee Boqor Yaaraabcaam ayaa Abiiyaah boqor ka noqday dalka Yahuudah.

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.

²Oo saddex sannadood ayuu boqor ku ahaa Yeruusaalem, oo hooyadiis magaceedana waxaa la odhan jiray Miikaayaah ina Uurii'eel oo reer Gibecaah ah. Oo Abiiyaah iyo Yaaraabcaamna dagaal baa ka dhexayn jiray.

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.

³Oo Abiiyaah dagaal buu u baxay isagoo wata ciidan dagaalyahan ah oo xoog badan, oo waxayna ahaayeen afar boqol oo kun oo ah rag la xushay; oo Yaaraabcaamna wuxuu dagaal isaga ka gees ah u diyaariyey siddeed boqol oo kun oo nin oo ah rag la xushay oo dhammaantoodna rag xoog badan ah.

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

⁴Markaasaa Abiiyaah wuxuu kor fuulay Buur Semaarayim oo ku taal dalka buuraha leh oo reer Efrayim, oo wuxuu yidhi, Yaaraabcaam iyo dadkii Israa'iil dhammaantiin i maqla.

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?

⁵War, miyeydnaan ogayn in Rabbiga Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ahu Daa'uud weligiis siiyey boqortooyada reer binu Israa'iil u talisa oo wuxuu isaga iyo wiilashiisana ku siiyey axdi cusbo leh?

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

⁶Laakiin Yaaraabcaam ina Nebaad oo ahaa addoonkii Sulaymaan ina Daa'uud ayaa kacay oo ka fallaagoobay sayidkiisii.

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.

⁷Oo waxaa isagii u soo shiray rag xunxun oo waxmatarayaal ah, wayna xoogaysteen iyagoo ka gees ah Rexabcaam oo ahaa ina Sulaymaan, oo taasuna waxay ahayd intii Rexabcaam uu dhallintayaraa oo uu qalbigiisu nuglaa, oo uusan iyaga hor joogsan karin.

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.

⁸Oo hadda idinku waxaad ku fikiraysaan inaad boqortooyada Rabbiga ka hor joogsataan gacanta ilma Daa'uud, oo weliba idinku waxaad tihiin dad faro badan, oo waxaadna wadataan weylihii dahabka ahaa oo Yaaraabcaam idiinku sameeyey Ilaah ahaan.

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.

⁹Oo weliba idinku sow ma aydaan eryin wadaaddadii Rabbiga oo ilma Haaruun ahaa iyo kuwii reer Laawiba? Oo wadaaddo sow uma aydaan samaysan sidii ay ahaan jirtay caadadii dadyowga dalalka kale deggan? Oo sidaas daraaddeed ku alla kii u yimaadaa inuu quduus iska dhigo isagoo wata dibi yar iyo toddoba wan, kaasu wuxuu wadaad u noqon karaa waxyaalo aan ilaahyo ahayn.

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:

¹⁰Laakiinse Rabbigu waa Ilaahayaga, oo kama aannu tegin, oo waxaannu haysannaa wadaaddo Rabbiga u adeega, kuwaasoo ah ilma Haaruun, iyo kuwii reer Laawi oo shuqulkoodii ku jira.

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.

¹¹Oo iyagu subax kasta iyo fiid kasta waxay Rabbiga u gubaan qurbaan la gubo iyo foox udgoon, oo kibistii tusniintana waxay ku hagaajiyaan miiska daahirka ah korkiisa, oo laambadda dahabka ah iyo laambadaheedii waxay shidaan fiid kasta, waayo, annagu waan xajinnaa amarkii Rabbiga Ilaahaya ah, laakiinse idinku waad ka tagteen.

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.”

¹²Oo bal eega waxaa nala jira Ilaah isagoo madax noo ah, iyo wadaaddadiisii oo wata turumbooyinkii lagu dhawaajiya, oo waxay idinku afuufi doonaan dhawaaq, haddaba dadka Israa'iilow, ha la diririna Rabbiga ah Ilaaha awowayaashiin, waayo, liibaani maysaan.

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

¹³Laakiinse Yaaraabcaam wuxuu iyaga gadaal ka dhigay ciidan gaadmo ah, haddaba iyagu waxay hor joogeen dadkii Yahuudah oo ciidankii gaadmada ahaana wuxuu joogay gadaashooda.

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

¹⁴Oo dadkii Yahuudah markay gadaashooda eegeen waxay arkeen in hore iyo gadaalba laga soo weeraray, markaasay Rabbiga u qayshadeen, oo wadaaddadiina waxay ka dhawaajiyeen turumbooyinkii.

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.

¹⁵Markaasay dadkii Yahuudah qayliyeen oo markay dadkii Yahuudah qayliyeen ayaa Rabbigu wax ku dhuftay Yaaraabcaam iyo dadkii Israa'iil oo dhan Abiiyaah iyo dadkii Yahuudah hortooda.

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

¹⁶Markaasaa dadkii Israa'iil ka carareen dadkii Yahuudah hortooda, oo Rabbiguna wuxuu ku riday gacantoodii.

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

¹⁷Oo Abiiyaah iyo dadkiisiina aad bay u laayeen, oo waxaa dadkii Israa'iil ka le'day shan boqol oo kun oo ah rag la xushay.

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.

¹⁸Haddaba dadkii Israa'iil sidaasaa wakhtigaas loo jebiyey oo waxaa ka adkaaday dadkii Yahuudah, maxaa yeelay, iyagu waxay isku halleeyeen Rabbiga ah Ilaaha awowayaashood.

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

¹⁹Oo Abiiyaah baa eryaday Yaaraabcaam oo wuxuu ka qabsaday magaalooyin badan kuwaasoo ahaa Beytel iyo tuulooyinkeedii, iyo Yeshaanaah iyo tuulooyinkeedii, iyo Cefroon iyo tuulooyinkeedii.

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

²⁰Oo Yaaraabcaamna xoog dambe ma uu helin wakhtigii Abiiyaah noolaa, oo Rabbiga ayaa wax ku riday, wuuna dhintay.

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

²¹Laakiinse Abiiyaah wuu sii xoogaystay, oo wuxuu guursaday afar iyo toban naagood, oo wuxuuna dhalay laba iyo labaatan wiil iyo lix iyo toban gabdhood.Haddaba Abiiyaah falimihiisii kale, iyo socodkiisii, iyo hadalladiisiiba waxay ku qoran yihiin kitaabkii Nebi Iddo.

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

²²Haddaba Abiiyaah falimihiisii kale, iyo socodkiisii, iyo hadalladiisiiba waxay ku qoran yihiin kitaabkii Nebi Iddo.
