SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 في السنة الثامنة عشر للملك يربعام ملك ابيا على يهوذا.	1 In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abia reigned over Juda.
2 ملك ثلاث سنين في اورشليم. واسم امه ميخايا بنت اوريئيل من جبعة وكانت حرب بين ابيا ويربعام.	2 Three years he reigned in Jerusalem, and his mother's name was Michaia, the daughter of Uriel of Gabaa: and there was war between Abia and Jeroboam.
3 وابتدأ ابيا في الحرب بجيش من جبابرة القتال اربع مئة الف رجل مختار ويربعام اصطف لمحاربته بثمان مئة الف رجل مختار جبابرة بأس	3 And when Abia had begun battle, and had with him four hundred thousand most valiant and chosen men, Jeroboam put his army in array against him, eight hundred thousand men, who were also chosen and most valiant for war.
4 وقام ابيا على جبل صمارايم الذي في جبل افرايم وقال اسمعوني يا يربعام وكل اسرائيل.	4 And Abia stood upon mount Semeron, which was in Ephraim, and said: Hear me, O Jeroboam, and all Israel:
5 أما لكم ان تعرفوا ان الرب اله اسرائيل اعطى الملك على اسرائيل لداود الى الابد ولبنيه بعهد ملح.	5 Do you not know that the Lord God of Israel gave to David the kingdom over Israel for ever, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
6 فقام يربعام بن نباط عبد سليمان بن داود وعصى سيده.	6 And Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up: m and rebelled against his lord.
7 فاجتمع اليه رجال بطالون بنو بليعال وتشددوا على رحبعام بن سليمان وكان رحبعام فتى رقيق القلب فلم يثبت امامهم.	7 And there were gathered to him vain men, and children of Belial: and they prevailed against Roboam the son of Solomon: for Roboam was unexperienced, and of a fearful heart, and could not resist them.
8 والآن انتم تقولون انكم تثبتون امام مملكة الرب بيد بني داود وانتم جمهور كثير ومعكم عجول ذهب قد عملها يربعام لكم آلهة.	8 And now you say that you are able to withstand the kingdom of the Lord, which he possesseth by the sons of David, and you have a great multitude of people, and golden calves, which Jeroboam hath made you for gods.
9 أما طردتم كهنة الرب بني هرون واللاويين وعملتم لانفسكم كهنة كشعوب الاراضي كل من أتى ليملأ يده بثور ابن بقر وسبعة كباش صار كاهنا للذين ليسوا آلهة.	9 And you have cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites: and you have made you priests, like all the nations of the earth: whosoever cometh and consecrateth his hand with a bullock of the herd, and with seven rams, is made a priest of those who are no gods.
10 واما نحن فالرب هو الهنا ولم نتركه والكهنة الخادمون الرب هم بنو هرون واللاويون في العمل	10 But the Lord is our God, whom we forsake not, and the priests who minister to the Lord are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites are in their order.
11 ويوقدون للرب محرقات كل صباح ومساء وبخور اطياب وخبز الوجوه على المائدة الطاهرة ومنارة الذهب وسرجها للايقاد كل مساء لاننا نحن حارسون حراسة الرب الهنا. واما انتم فقد تركتموه.	11 And they offer holocausts to the Lord, every day, morning and evening, and incense made according to the ordinance of the law, and the leaves are set forth on a most clean table, and there is with us the golden candlestick, and the lamps thereof, to be lighted always in the evening: for we keep the precepts of the Lord our God, whom you have forsaken.
12 وهوذا معنا الله رئيسا وكهنته وابواق الهتاف للهتاف عليكم. فيا بني اسرائيل لا تحاربوا الرب اله آبائكم لانكم لا تفلحون	12 Therefore God is the leader in our army, and his priests who sound with trumpets, and resound against you: O children of Israel, fight not against the Lord the God of your fathers, for it is not good for you.
13 ولكن يربعام جعل الكمين يدور ليأتي من خلفهم. فكانوا امام يهوذا والكمين خلفهم.	13 While he spoke these things, Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind him. And while he stood facing the enemies, he encompassed Juda. who perceived it not, with his army.
14 فالتفت يهوذا واذا الحرب عليهم من قدام ومن خلف. فصرخوا الى الرب وبوّق الكهنة بالابواق	14 And when Juda looked back, they saw the battle coming upon them both before and behind, and they cried to the Lord: and the priests began to sound with the trumpets.
15 وهتف رجال يهوذا ولما هتف رجال يهوذا ضرب الله يربعام وكل اسرائيل امام ابيا ويهوذا.	15 And all the men of Juda shouted: and behold when they shouted, God terrified Jeroboam, and all Israel that stood against Abia and Juda.
16 فانهزم بنو اسرائيل من امام يهوذا ودفعهم الله ليدهم.	16 And the children of Israel fled before Juda, and the Lord delivered them into their hand.
17 وضربهم ابيا وقومه ضربة عظيمة فسقط قتلى من اسرائيل خمس مئة الف رجل مختار.	17 And Abia and his people slew them with a great slaughter, and there fell wounded of Israel five hundred thousand valiant men.
18 فذلّ بنو اسرائيل في ذلك الوقت وتشجع بنو يهوذا لانهم اتكلوا على الرب اله آبائهم.	18 And the children of Israel were brought down, at that time, and the children of Juda were exceedingly strengthened, because they had trusted in the Lord the God of their fathers.
19 وطارد ابيا يربعام واخذ منه مدنا بيت ايل وقراها ويشانة وقراها وعفرون وقراها.	19 And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel and her daughters, and Jesana with her daughters, Ephron also and her daughters.
20 ولم يقو يربعام بعد في ايام ابيا فضربه الرب ومات	20 And Jeroboam was not able to resist any more, in the days of Abia: and the Lord struck him, and he died.
21 وتشدّد ابيا واتخذ لنفسه اربعة عشرة امرأة وولد اثنين وعشرين ابنا وست عشرة بنتا.	21 But Abia, being strengthened in his kingdom, took fourteen wives: and begot two and twenty sons, and sixteen daughters.
22 وبقية امور ابيا وطرقه واقواله مكتوبة في مدرس النبي عدّو	22 And the rest of the acts of Abia, and of his ways and works, are written diligently in the book of Addo the prophet.
