代下13:1 耶罗波安王第十八年，亚比雅登基作犹大王。
代下13:1 In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah became king over Judah.
代下13:2 他在耶路撒冷作王三年；他母亲名叫米该亚，是基比亚人乌列的女儿。亚比雅和耶罗波安常有争战。
代下13:2 He was king in Jerusalem for three years; his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
代下13:3 有一次，亚比雅带着精兵四十万，都是英勇的战士，准备开战；耶罗波安也带着八十万精兵，都是英勇的战士，列阵对抗亚比雅。
代下13:3 And Abijah went out to the fight with an army of men of war, four hundred thousand of his best men; and Jeroboam put his forces in line against him, eight hundred thousand of his best men of war.
代下13:4 亚比雅起来站在以法莲山地中的洗玛脸山上，说：“耶罗波安和以色列众民哪，你们要听我的话。
代下13:4 And Abijah took up his position on Mount Zemaraim, in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said, Give ear to me, O Jeroboam and all Israel:
代下13:5 耶和华以色列的 神曾经立了盐约，要把以色列国永远赐给大卫和他的子孙，你们不知道吗？
代下13:5 Is it not clear to you that the Lord, the God of Israel, gave the rule over Israel to David and to his sons for ever, by an agreement made with salt?
代下13:6 可是大卫的儿子所罗门的仆人，尼八的儿子耶罗波安，却起来背叛了他的主。
代下13:6 But Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon, the son of David, took up arms against his lord.
代下13:7 有些无赖匪徒结集跟从他，欺负所罗门的儿子罗波安；那时罗波安还年幼，心里惊怯，所以不能抵挡他们。
代下13:7 And certain foolish and good-for-nothing men were joined with him, and made themselves strong against Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, when he was young and untested and not able to keep them back.
代下13:8 现在你们有意要反抗大卫子孙手下的耶和华的国；你们人数众多，你们那里也有金牛犊，就是耶罗波安为你们所做，当作神的。
代下13:8 And now it is your purpose to put yourselves against the authority which the Lord has put into the hands of the sons of David, and you are a very great number, and you have with you the gold oxen which Jeroboam made to be your gods.
代下13:9 你们不是驱逐了耶和华的祭司，亚伦的子孙和利未人吗？你们不是像世上万民为自己立祭司吗？无论什么人牵来一头公牛犊和七只公绵羊，把自己分别为圣，就可以作那本不是神的祭司。
代下13:9 And after driving out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, have you not made priests for yourselves as the people of other lands do? so that anyone who comes to make himself priest by offering an ox or seven sheep, may be a priest of those who are no gods.
代下13:10 至于我们，耶和华是我们的 神，我们并没有离弃他；我们有事奉耶和华的祭司，都是亚伦的子孙，并且有利未人负责工作。
代下13:10 But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not been turned away from him; we have priests who do the work of the Lord, even the sons of Aaron and the Levites in their places;
代下13:11 他们每日早晚向耶和华献燔祭，焚烧芬芳的香；在清洁的桌子上摆上陈设饼；每天晚上燃点金灯台的灯盏；我们谨守耶和华我们的 神的吩咐，你们却离弃了他。
代下13:11 By whom burned offerings and perfumes are sent up in smoke before the Lord every morning and every evening; and they put out the holy bread on its table and the gold support for the lights with its lights burning every evening; for we keep the orders given to us by the Lord our God, but you have gone away from him.
代下13:12 “看哪， 神和我们同在，率领我们；他的祭司拿着号筒向你们大声吹响。以色列人哪，你们不可和耶和华你们列祖的 神作战，因为你们必不能得胜。”
代下13:12 And now God is with us at our head, and his priests with their loud horns sounding against you. O children of Israel, do not make war on the Lord, the God of your fathers, for it will not go well for you.
代下13:13 耶罗波安却派伏兵绕到犹大人的背后。这样，犹大人前面有以色列人，他们背后也有伏兵。
代下13:13 But Jeroboam had put some of his men to make a surprise attack on them from the back, so some were facing Judah and others were stationed secretly at their back.
代下13:14 犹大人转身，看见自己前后受敌，就呼求耶和华，祭司也都吹号。
代下13:14 And Judah, turning their faces, saw that they were being attacked in front and at the back; and they gave a cry for help to the Lord, while the priests were sounding their horns.
代下13:15 于是犹大人大声吶喊；犹大人大声吶喊的时候， 神就在亚比雅和犹大人面前，使耶罗波安和以色列众人大败而逃。
代下13:15 And the men of Judah gave a loud cry; and at their cry, God put fear into Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
代下13:16 以色列人在犹大人面前逃跑； 神把他们交在犹大人手里。
代下13:16 And the children of Israel went in flight before Judah, and God gave them up into their hands.
代下13:17 亚比雅和他的人民大大地击杀以色列人；以色列人中倒毙的精兵共有五十万。
代下13:17 And Abijah and his people put them to death with great destruction: five hundred thousand of the best of Israel were put to the sword.
代下13:18 那时，以色列人被击败了，犹大人获得胜利，因为他们倚靠耶和华他们列祖的 神。
代下13:18 So at that time the children of Israel were overcome, and the children of Judah got the better of them, because they put their faith in the Lord, the God of their fathers.
代下13:19 亚比雅追赶耶罗波安，夺取了他的几座城，就是伯特利和属于伯特利的乡镇，耶沙拿和属于耶沙拿的乡镇，以法拉音和属于以法拉音的乡镇。
代下13:19 And Abijah went after Jeroboam and took some of his towns, Beth-el with its small towns and Jeshanah with its small towns and Ephron with its small towns.
代下13:20 亚比雅在世的日子，耶罗波安不再强盛。耶和华击打他，他就死了。
代下13:20 And Jeroboam did not get back his power again in the life-time of Abijah; and the Lord sent death on him.
代下13:21 亚比雅却不断强盛起来，娶了十四个妻妾，生了二十二个儿子，十六个女儿。
代下13:21 But Abijah became great, and had fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
代下13:22 亚比雅其余的事迹和他的言行，都记在易多先知的传记上。
代下13:22 And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways and his sayings, are recorded in the account of the prophet Iddo.
