LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 εν τω οκτωκαιδεκατω ετει της βασιλειας ιεροβοαμ εβασιλευσεν αβια επι ιουδαν	1 In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah became king of Judah;
2 ετη τρια εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ και ονομα τη μητρι αυτου μααχα θυγατηρ ουριηλ απο γαβαων και πολεμος ην ανα μεσον αβια και ανα μεσον ιεροβοαμ	2 he reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother was named Michaiah, daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
3 και παρεταξατο αβια τον πολεμον εν δυναμει πολεμισταις δυναμεως τετρακοσιαις χιλιασιν ανδρων δυνατων και ιεροβοαμ παρεταξατο προς αυτον πολεμον εν οκτακοσιαις χιλιασιν δυνατοι πολεμισται δυναμεως	3 Abijah joined battle with a force of four hundred thousand picked warriors, while Jeroboam lined up against him in battle with eight hundred thousand picked and valiant warriors.
4 και ανεστη αβια απο του ορους σομορων ο εστιν εν τω ορει εφραιμ και ειπεν ακουσατε ιεροβοαμ και πας ισραηλ	4 Abijah stood on Mount Zemariam, which is in the highlands of Ephraim, and said: "Listen to me, Jeroboam and all Israel!
5 ουχ υμιν γνωναι οτι κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ εδωκεν βασιλειαν επι τον ισραηλ εις τον αιωνα τω δαυιδ και τοις υιοις αυτου διαθηκην αλος	5 Do you not know that the LORD, the God of Israel, has given the kingdom of Israel to David forever, to him and to his sons, by a covenant made in salt?
6 και ανεστη ιεροβοαμ ο του ναβατ ο παις σαλωμων του δαυιδ και απεστη απο του κυριου αυτου	6 Yet Jeroboam, son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon, son of David, has stood up and rebelled against his lord!
7 και συνηχθησαν προς αυτον ανδρες λοιμοι υιοι παρανομοι και αντεστη προς ροβοαμ τον του σαλωμων και ροβοαμ ην νεωτερος και δειλος τη καρδια και ουκ αντεστη κατα προσωπον αυτου	7 Worthless men, scoundrels, joined him and overcame Rehoboam, son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and unthinking, and no match for them.
8 και νυν λεγετε υμεις αντιστηναι κατα προσωπον βασιλειας κυριου δια χειρος υιων δαυιδ και υμεις πληθος πολυ και μεθ' υμων μοσχοι χρυσοι ους εποιησεν υμιν ιεροβοαμ εις θεους	8 But now, do you think you are a match for the kingdom of the LORD commanded by the sons of David, simply because you are a huge multitude and have with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods?
9 η ουκ εξεβαλετε τους ιερεις κυριου τους υιους ααρων και τους λευιτας και εποιησατε εαυτοις ιερεις εκ του λαου της γης πας ο προσπορευομενος πληρωσαι τας χειρας εν μοσχω εκ βοων και κριοις επτα και εγινετο εις ιερεα τω μη οντι θεω	9 "Have you not expelled the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made for yourselves priests like the peoples of foreign lands? Everyone who comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams becomes a priest of no-gods.
10 και ημεις κυριον τον θεον ημων ουκ εγκατελιπομεν και οι ιερεις αυτου λειτουργουσιν τω κυριω οι υιοι ααρων και οι λευιται εν ταις εφημεριαις αυτων	10 But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him. The priests ministering to the LORD are sons of Aaron, and the Levites also have their offices.
11 θυμιωσιν τω κυριω ολοκαυτωματα πρωι και δειλης και θυμιαμα συνθεσεως και προθεσεις αρτων επι της τραπεζης της καθαρας και η λυχνια η χρυση και οι λυχνοι της καυσεως αναψαι δειλης οτι φυλασσομεν ημεις τας φυλακας κυριου του θεου των πατερων ημων και υμεις εγκατελιπετε αυτον	11 They burn holocausts to the LORD and fragrant incense morning after morning and evening after evening; they display the showbread on the pure table, and the lamps of the golden lampstand burn evening after evening; for we observe our duties to the LORD, our God, but you have abandoned him.
12 και ιδου μεθ' ημων εν αρχη κυριος και οι ιερεις αυτου και αι σαλπιγγες της σημασιας του σημαινειν εφ' υμας οι υιοι του ισραηλ πολεμησετε προς κυριον θεον των πατερων ημων οτι ουκ ευοδωθησεται υμιν	12 See, God is with us, at our head, and his priests are here with trumpets to sound the attack against you. Do not battle against the LORD, the God of your fathers, O Israelites, for you will not succeed!"
13 και ιεροβοαμ απεστρεψεν το ενεδρον ελθειν αυτων εκ των οπισθεν και εγενετο εμπροσθεν ιουδα και το ενεδρον εκ των οπισθεν	13 But Jeroboam had an ambush go around them to come at them from the rear; so that while his army faced Judah, his ambush lay behind them.
14 και απεστρεψεν ιουδας και ιδου αυτοις ο πολεμος εκ των εμπροσθεν και εκ των οπισθεν και εβοησαν προς κυριον και οι ιερεις εσαλπισαν ταις σαλπιγξιν	14 When Judah turned and saw that they had to battle on both fronts, they cried out to the LORD and the priests sounded the trumpets.
15 και εβοησαν ανδρες ιουδα και εγενετο εν τω βοαν ανδρας ιουδα και κυριος επαταξεν τον ιεροβοαμ και τον ισραηλ εναντιον αβια και ιουδα	15 Then the men of Judah shouted; and when they did so, God defeated Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16 και εφυγον οι υιοι ισραηλ απο προσωπου ιουδα και παρεδωκεν αυτους κυριος εις τας χειρας αυτων	16 The Israelites fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hands.
17 και επαταξεν εν αυτοις αβια και ο λαος αυτου πληγην μεγαλην και επεσον τραυματιαι απο ισραηλ πεντακοσιαι χιλιαδες ανδρες δυνατοι	17 Abijah and his people inflicted a severe defeat upon them; five hundred thousand picked men of Israel fell slain.
18 και εταπεινωθησαν οι υιοι ισραηλ εν τη ημερα εκεινη και κατισχυσαν οι υιοι ιουδα οτι ηλπισαν επι κυριον θεον των πατερων αυτων	18 The Israelites were subdued on that occasion and the Judahites were victorious because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers.
19 και κατεδιωξεν αβια οπισω ιεροβοαμ και προκατελαβετο παρ' αυτου πολεις την βαιθηλ και τας κωμας αυτης και την ισανα και τας κωμας αυτης και την εφρων και τας κωμας αυτης	19 Abijah pursued Jeroboam and took cities from him: Bethel and its dependencies, Jeshanah and its dependencies, and Ephron and its dependencies.
20 και ουκ εσχεν ισχυν ιεροβοαμ ετι πασας τας ημερας αβια και επαταξεν αυτον κυριος και ετελευτησεν	20 Jeroboam did not regain power during the time of Abijah; the LORD struck him down and he died,
21 και κατισχυσεν αβια και ελαβεν εαυτω γυναικας δεκα τεσσαρας και εγεννησεν υιους εικοσι δυο και θυγατερας δεκα εξ	21 while Abijah continued to grow stronger. He took to himself fourteen wives and fathered twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
22 και οι λοιποι λογοι αβια και αι πραξεις αυτου και οι λογοι αυτου γεγραμμενοι επι βιβλιω του προφητου αδδω	22 The rest of Abijah's acts, his deeds and his words, are written in the midrash of the prophet Iddo.
23 και απεθανεν αβια μετα των πατερων αυτου και εθαψαν αυτον εν πολει δαυιδ και εβασιλευσεν ασα υιος αυτου αντ' αυτου εν ταις ημεραις ασα ησυχασεν η γη ιουδα ετη δεκα	23 Abijah rested with his ancestors; they buried him in the City of David. His son Asa succeeded him as king. During his time, ten years of peace began in the land.
