2 Chronicles 13
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
1Manghai Jeroboam kah kum hlai rhet dongah Abijah Judah ah manghai tih,
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.
2Jerusalem ah kum thum manghai. A manu ming tah Gibeah lamkah Uriel canu Mikaiah ni. Te vaengah Abijah laklo neh Jeroboam laklo ah caemtloeknah om.
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 valour.
3Abijah loh caemtloek te tatthai hlangrhalh neh pin uh tih caemtloek la hlang thawng ya li a coelh. Te vaengah Jeroboam loh caemtloek te a coelh tatthai hlangrhalh hlang thawng ya rhet neh rhong a pai thil.
4And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said: 'Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel;
4Te vaengah Abijah tah Ephraim tlang kah Zemaraim tlang so ah pai tih, “Jeroboam neh Israel pum loh kai ol he hnatun uh.
5ought ye not to know that the LORD, 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?
5Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh David he Israel soah kumhal ham ram a paek te na ming uh pawt nim? Anih taeng neh anih koca taengah paipi lungkaeh om.
6Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.
6Tedae David capa Solomon kah sal Nebat capa Jeroboam te thoo tih a boei te a tloelh.
7And there were gathered unto him vain men, base fellows that strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and faint-hearted, and could not withstand them.
7Hlang muen capa olhong hlang rhoek te amah taengla a coi tih Solomon capa Rehoboam taengah ning uh. Rehoboam tah camoe la om tih a thinko a mongkawt dongah amih mikhmuh ah thaahuel thai pawh.
8And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD 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.
8“Te dongah David koca kut kah BOEIPA ram hmai ah thaahuel ham na ti uh coeng. Na hlangping uh muep dae nangmih taengkah sui vaitoca te Jeroboam long ni nangmih ham pathen la a saii.
9Have ye not driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have 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 becometh a priest of them that are no gods.
9BOEIPA kah khosoih, Aaron koca neh Levi rhoek te na heh uh moenih a? A kut vaito, saelhung ca, tutal pumrhih neh a bae la aka pawk boeih tah pathen pawt kah khosoih la aka om khaw khohmuen pilnam bangla na khosoih rhoek te na khueh uh.
10But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; and we have priests ministering unto the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work;
10“Tedae kaimih taengah mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA a om dongah amah neh BOEIPA taengah aka thotat Aaron koca, khosoih rhoek khaw bitat dongkah Levi rhoek khaw ka hnawt uh moenih.
11and they burn unto the LORD 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 the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken Him.
11Mincang, mincang ah khaw, hlaem, hlaem ah khaw hmueihhlutnah te BOEIPA taengah ka phum uh. Bo-ul botui neh caboei cim dongkah rhungkung buh khaw ka tawn uh. Sui hmaitung neh a hmaithoi te hlaem, hlaem ah ka tok un. Kaimih ngawn tah mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA kah a kuek te ka ngaithuen uh dae nangmih long ni amah te na hnawt uh.
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 the LORD, the God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.'
12Pathen tah kaimih taengah a lu la om coeng he. A khosoih rhoek neh olueng rhoek khaw nangmih Israel ca rhoek te yuhui thil ham tamlung neh om coeng. Na pa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA te vathoh thil uh boeh, na thaihtak uh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
13But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them; so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.
13Te vaengah Jeroboam tah amih hnuk lamloh caeh hamla rhong te a hil. Te dongah Judah hmai la om uh tih rhong te amih hnuk ah om.
14And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
14Judah rhoek te a mael uh vaengah caemtloek rhoek te amih taengah a hnuk a hmai la tarha a om pah. Te dongah BOEIPA taengla pang uh tih khosoih rhoek loh olueng te a ueng uh.
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.
15Te phoeiah Judah hlang rhoek te yuhui uh. Om bal tih Judah hlang te a yuhui vaengah tah Pathen loh Jeroboam neh Israel boeih te Abijah neh Judah mikhmuh ah a yawk sak.
16And the children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand.
16Te dongah Israel ca rhoek tah Judah mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham uh tih amih te Pathen loh amamih kut ah a paek.
17And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter; so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
17Amih te Abijah neh a pilnam loh hmsoe len neh a ngawn. Te dongah Israel kah hlang coelh thawng ya nga a rhok la yalh.
18Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD, the God of their fathers.
18Te vaeng tue ah Israel ca rhoek te kunyun uh dae Judah ca rhoek tah a napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA dongah a hangdang uh dongah a namning uh.
19And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof.
19Abijah loh Jeroboam hnuk te a hloem tih anih taeng lamkah Bethel khopuei rhoek neh a khobuel rhoek khaw, Jeshanah neh a khobuel khaw, Ephron neh a khobuel rhoek te a rhawt pah.
20Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah; and the LORD smote him, and he died.
20Jeroboam kah thadueng te Abijah tue vaengah koep a saibawn moenih. Anih te BOEIPA loh a yawk sak tih duek.
21But Abijah waxed mighty, and took unto himself fourteen wives, and begot twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.
21Te cakhaw Abijah te cuung uh tih a yuu hlai li a loh. Te dongah capa pakul panit neh canu hlai rhuk a sak.
22And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
22Abijah kah ol noi neh a khoboe khaw, a ol khaw tonghma Iddo kah cil dongah a daek.
