Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1In the eighteenth year of Jeroboam’s reign, Abijah became king of Judah,
1耶羅波安 王十八年， 亞比雅 登基作 猶大 王，
2and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Micaiah daughter of Uriel; she was from Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
2在 耶路撒冷 作王三年。他母親名叫 米該亞 ，是 基比亞 人 烏列 的女兒。 亞比雅 常與 耶羅波安 爭戰。
3Abijah went into battle with an army of 400,000 chosen men, while Jeroboam drew up in formation against him with 800,000 chosen and mighty men of valor.
3有一次 亞比雅 率領挑選的兵四十萬擺陣，都是勇敢的戰士； 耶羅波安 也挑選大能的勇士八十萬，對 亞比雅 擺陣。
4Then Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim in the hill country of Ephraim and said, “Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel!
4亞比雅 站在 以法蓮 山地中的 洗瑪臉山 上，說：「 耶羅波安 和 以色列 眾人哪，要聽我說！
5Do you not know that the LORD, the God of Israel, has given the kingship of Israel to David and his descendants forever by a covenant of salt ?
5耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝曾立鹽約，將 以色列 國永遠賜給 大衛 和他的子孫，你們不知道嗎？
6Yet Jeroboam son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon son of David, rose up and rebelled against his master.
6無奈 大衛 兒子 所羅門 的臣僕、 尼八 兒子 耶羅波安 起來背叛他的主人。
7Then worthless and wicked men gathered around him to resist Rehoboam son of Solomon when he was young, inexperienced, and unable to resist them.
7有些無賴的匪徒聚集跟從他，逞強攻擊 所羅門 的兒子 羅波安 ；那時 羅波安 還幼弱，不能抵擋他們。
8And now you think you can resist the kingdom of the LORD, which is in the hands of David’s descendants. You are indeed a vast army, and you have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made for you as gods.
8「現在你們有意抗拒 大衛 子孫手下所治耶和華的國，你們的人也甚多，你們那裏又有 耶羅波安 為你們所造當作神的金牛犢。
9But did you not drive out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites? And did you not make priests for yourselves as do the peoples of other lands? Now whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams can become a priest of things that are not gods.
9你們不是驅逐耶和華的祭司 亞倫 的後裔和 利未 人嗎？不是照着外邦人的惡俗為自己立祭司嗎？無論何人牽一隻公牛犢、七隻公綿羊將自己分別出來，就可作虛無之神的祭司。
10But as for us, the LORD is our God. We have not forsaken Him; the priests who minister to the LORD are sons of Aaron, and the Levites attend to their duties.
10至於我們，耶和華是我們的上帝，我們並沒有離棄他。我們有事奉耶和華的祭司，都是 亞倫 的後裔，並有 利未 人各盡其職，
11Every morning and every evening they present burnt offerings and fragrant incense to the LORD. They set out the rows of showbread on the ceremonially clean table, and every evening they light the lamps of the gold lampstand. We are carrying out the requirements of the LORD our God, while you have forsaken Him.
11每日早晚向耶和華獻燔祭，燒美香，又在精 金 的桌子上擺陳設餅；又有金燈臺和燈盞，每晚點起，因為我們遵守耶和華－我們上帝的命；惟有你們離棄了他。
12Now behold, God Himself is with us as our head, and His priests with their trumpets sound the battle call against you. O children of Israel, do not fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers, for you will not succeed.”
12率領我們的是上帝，我們這裏也有上帝的祭司拿號向你們吹出大聲。 以色列 人哪，不要與耶和華－你們列祖的上帝爭戰，因你們必不能亨通。」
13Now Jeroboam had sent troops around to ambush from the rear, so that while he was in front of Judah, the ambush was behind them.
13耶羅波安 卻在 猶大 人的後頭設伏兵。這樣， 以色列 人在 猶大 人的前頭，伏兵在 猶大 人的後頭。
14When Judah turned and discovered that the battle was both before and behind them, they cried out to the LORD. Then the priests blew the trumpets,
14猶大 人回頭觀看，見前後都有敵兵，就呼求耶和華，祭司也吹號。
15and the men of Judah raised the battle cry. And when they raised the cry, God routed Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
15於是 猶大 人吶喊； 猶大 人吶喊的時候，上帝就使 耶羅波安 和 以色列 眾人敗在 亞比雅 與 猶大 人面前。
16So the Israelites fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hands.
16以色列 人在 猶大 人面前逃跑，上帝將他們交在 猶大 人手裏。
17Then Abijah and his people struck them with a mighty blow, and 500,000 chosen men of Israel fell slain.
17亞比雅 和他的軍兵大大殺戮 以色列 人， 以色列 人仆倒死亡的精兵有五十萬。
18Thus the Israelites were subdued at that time, and the men of Judah prevailed because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers.
18那時， 以色列 人被制伏了， 猶大 人得勝，是因倚靠耶和華－他們列祖的上帝。
19Abijah pursued Jeroboam and captured some cities from him: Bethel, Jeshanah, and Ephron, along with their villages.
19亞比雅 追趕 耶羅波安 ，攻取了他的幾座城，就是 伯特利 和屬 伯特利 的鎮市， 耶沙拿 和屬 耶沙拿 的鎮市， 以法拉音 和屬 以法拉音 的鎮市。
20Jeroboam did not again recover his power during the days of Abijah, and the LORD struck him down and he died.
20亞比雅 在世的時候， 耶羅波安 不能再強盛；耶和華攻擊他，他就死了。
21But Abijah grew strong, married fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
21亞比雅 卻漸漸強盛，娶妻妾十四個，生了二十二個兒子，十六個女兒。
22Now the rest of the acts of Abijah, along with his ways and his words, are written in the Treatise of the Prophet Iddo.
22亞比雅 其餘的事和他的言行都寫在先知 易多 的傳上。
