Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Και εβασίλευσεν ο Αβιά επί τον Ιούδαν εν τω δεκάτω ογδόω έτει του βασιλέως Ιεροβοάμ.
1 In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah.
2 Τρία έτη εβασίλευσεν εν Ιερουσαλήμ. Το δε όνομα της μητρός αυτού ήτο Μιχαΐα, θυγάτηρ του Ουριήλ από Γαβαά. Και ήτο πόλεμος μεταξύ Αβιά και Ιεροβοάμ.
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
3 Και παρετάχθη ο Αβιά εις μάχην με στράτευμα δυνατών πολεμιστών, τετρακοσίων χιλιάδων ανδρών εκλεκτών· και ο Ιεροβοάμ παρετάχθη εις μάχην εναντίον αυτού με οκτακοσίας χιλιάδας ανδρών εκλεκτών, δυνατών εν ισχύϊ.
3 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.
4 Και σηκωθείς ο Αβιά επί το όρος Σεμαραΐμ, το εν τω όρει Εφραΐμ, είπεν, Ακούσατέ μου, Ιεροβοάμ και πας ο Ισραήλ·
4 Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, “Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel:
5 δεν πρέπει να γνωρίσητε, ότι Κύριος ο Θεός του Ισραήλ έδωκε την βασιλείαν επί τον Ισραήλ διαπαντός εις τον Δαβίδ, εις αυτόν και εις τους υιούς αυτού, με συνθήκην άλατος;
5 Ought 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?
6 αλλ' ο Ιεροβοάμ ο υιός του Ναβάτ, ο δούλος του Σολομώντος υιού του Δαβίδ, εσηκώθη και επανεστάτησεν εναντίον του κυρίου αυτού·
6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.
7 και συνήχθησαν προς αυτόν άνθρωποι μηδαμινοί, αχρείοι, και ενεδυναμώθησαν εναντίον του Ροβοάμ υιού του Σολομώντος, ότε ήτο ο Ροβοάμ νέος και απαλός την καρδίαν και δεν ηδύνατο να αντισταθή εις αυτούς·
7 Worthless men were gathered to him, wicked fellows who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender hearted, and could not withstand them.
8 και τώρα σεις λέγετε να αντισταθήτε εις την βασιλείαν του Κυρίου, την εις τας χείρας των υιών του Δαβίδ, διότι είσθε πλήθος πολύ και έχετε μεθ' εαυτών χρυσούς μόσχους, τους οποίους ο Ιεροβοάμ έκαμεν εις εσάς διά θεούς·
8 “Now you intend to withstand the kingdom of Yahweh in the hand of the sons of David. You are a great multitude, and the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods are with you.
9 δεν απεβάλετε τους ιερείς του Κυρίου, τους υιούς του Ααρών, και τους Λευΐτας, και εκάμετε εις εαυτούς ιερείς κατά τα έθνη της γης; πας όστις προσέρχεται να ιερωθή με μόσχον βοός και επτά κριούς, γίνεται ιερεύς εις τους μη θεούς·
9 Haven’t you driven out the priests of Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves according to the ways of the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may be a priest of those who are no gods.
10 αλλ' ημείς τον Κύριον έχομεν θεόν ημών, και δεν εγκατελίπομεν αυτόν· και οι ιερείς, οι λειτουργούντες εις τον Κύριον, είναι οι υιοί του Ααρών· και οι Λευΐται, επί την εργασίαν·
10 “But as for us, Yahweh is our God, and we have not forsaken him. We have priests serving Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work.
11 και καίουσι προς τον Κύριον καθ' εκάστην πρωΐαν και καθ' εκάστην εσπέραν ολοκαυτώματα και θυμίαμα ευώδες· και διατέθουσι τους άρτους της προθέσεως επί της τραπέζης της καθαράς και την λυχνίαν την χρυσήν και τους λύχνους αυτής, διά να καίη πάσαν εσπέραν· διότι ημείς φυλάττομεν την φυλακήν Κυρίου του Θεού ημών· σεις όμως εγκατελίπετε αυτόν·
11 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 care for the gold lamp stand with its lamps, to burn every evening; for we keep the instruction of Yahweh our God, but you have forsaken him.
12 και ιδού, ο Θεός αυτός είναι μεθ' ημών επί κεφαλής, και οι ιερείς αυτού με ηχητικάς σάλπιγγας, διά να ηχώσιν εναντίον σας. Υιοί Ισραήλ, μη πολεμείτε εναντίον Κυρίου του Θεού των πατέρων σας· διότι δεν θέλετε ευοδωθή.
12 Behold, 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 will not prosper.”
13 Ο δε Ιεροβοάμ έστρεψε την ενέδραν διά να περιέλθη εκ των όπισθεν αυτών· και ήσαν κατά πρόσωπον του Ιούδα, και η ενέδρα όπισθεν αυτών.
13 But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them; so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them.
14 Και ότε περιέβλεψεν ο Ιούδας, ιδού, η μάχη ήτο έμπροσθεν και όπισθεν αυτών· και εβόησαν προς τον Κύριον, και οι ιερείς εσάλπισαν με τας σάλπιγγας.
14 When Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to Yahweh, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
15 Τότε οι άνδρες Ιούδα ηλάλαξαν· και καθώς ηλάλαξαν οι άνδρες Ιούδα, ο Θεός επάταξε τον Ιεροβοάμ και πάντα τον Ισραήλ, έμπροσθεν του Αβιά και του Ιούδα.
15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout. As the men of Judah shouted, God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16 Και έφυγον οι υιοί Ισραήλ απ' έμπροσθεν του Ιούδα· και παρέδωκεν αυτούς ο Θεός εις την χείρα αυτών.
16 The children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.
17 Και έκαμον ο Αβιά και ο λαός αυτού εις αυτούς σφαγήν μεγάλην· και έπεσαν τραυματίαι εκ του Ισραήλ πεντακόσιαι χιλιάδες ανδρών εκλεκτών.
17 Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter, so five hundred thousand chosen men of Israel fell down slain.
18 Και εταπεινώθησαν οι υιοί Ισραήλ εν τω καιρώ εκείνω, οι δε υιοί Ιούδα υπερίσχυσαν, επειδή ήλπισαν επί Κύριον τον Θεόν των πατέρων αυτών.
18 Thus 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.
19 Και κατεδίωξεν ο Αβιά εξ οπίσω του Ιεροβοάμ, και έλαβε παρ' αυτού πόλεις, την Βαιθήλ και τας κώμας αυτής, και την Ιεσανά και τας κώμας αυτής, και την Εφραΐν και τας κώμας αυτής.
19 Abijah pursued Jeroboam, and took cities from him: Bethel with its villages, Jeshanah with its villages, and Ephron with its villages.
20 Και δεν ανέλαβε πλέον δύναμιν ο Ιεροβοάμ εν ταις ημέραις του Αβιά· αλλ' επάταξεν αυτόν ο Κύριος, και απέθανε.
20 Jeroboam didn’t recover strength again in the days of Abijah. Yahweh struck him, and he died.
21 Και ενεδυναμώθη ο Αβιά· και έλαβεν εις εαυτόν δεκατέσσαρας γυναίκας, και εγέννησεν εικοσιδύο υιούς και δεκαέξ θυγατέρας.
21 But Abijah grew mighty and took for himself fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
22 Αι δε λοιπαί πράξεις του Αβιά και αι οδοί αυτού και οι λόγοι αυτού είναι γεγραμμένοι εν τη ιστορία του προφήτου Ιδδώ.
22 The rest of the acts of Abijah, his ways, and his sayings are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
