Въ лњто, и~і. цр~я и^е^ровоа'ма, црsтвова` а^вїя на і^ё^де'и.

¹

In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam Abia began to reign over Juda.

²

и^ г~, лњта црsтвова` въ і^ерsлимњ. и^мя же мт~ри е^го миа^ха'їя дщ^и ё^рїи'лева эT гаваѓ'на, и^ б^њ бра'нь межи а^вїею, и^ е^ровоа'момъ.

²

He reigned three years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maacha, daughter of Uriel of Gabaon. And there was war between Abia and Jeroboam.

³

и^ въполъчи'шася. а^вїя же и^мња^ше бран#нњ'ишихъ мђже'и и^збра'нныхъ, Wм~. і^ и^е^ровоа'мъ състро'и съпроти'вђ е^го бра'нь, Wп~. мђже'и, и^же и^ тїи и^збра'нни бњша. и^ къ бра'немъ крњпча'иши”

³

And Abia set the battle in array with an army, with mighty men of war, even four hundred thousand mighty men: and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand, they were mighty warriors of the host.

⁴

Ста' же а^вїа на горњ` сомо'ри и^же бњ` въ предњле е^фре'мли и^ рече. слы'шите е^ровоа'мъ и^ весь і^и^л~ь.

⁴

And Abia rose up from the mount Somoron, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear ye, Jeroboam, and all Israel:

⁵

н^и ли не вњ'сте ја%ко г~ь б~ъ і^и^л~евъ. възда'лъ црsтво дв~дђ на і^и^л~и въ вњ'ки, и^ сн~овомъ е^го, завTњ вњ'ченъ”

⁵

Is it not for you to know that the Lord God of Israel has given a king over Israel for ever to David, and to his sons, by a covenant of salt?

⁶

И$ въста` и^е^ровоа'мъ сн~ъ нава'товъ рабъ соло'моновъ сн~а двDа. и^ эTве'ржеся эT господи'на свое^го,

⁶

But Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and has revolted from his master:

⁷

и^ събра'ша же ся к немђ мђ'жи сђетнњ'иши сн~ове законопрестђ'пнїи и^ сопроти'ви'шася проти'вђ ровоа'ма сн~а соло'моня Ровоа'м же бњ` ю^нњ'ишїи и^ срDцемъ страшлиv, и^ не мо'же проти'витися и^мъ.

⁷

and there are gathered to him pestilent men, transgressors, and he has risen up against Roboam the son of Solomon, while Roboam was young and fearful in heart, and he withstood him not.

⁸

и^ нн~њ ё^бо в^ы гл~ете да сопроти'витися мо'жете црsтвђ гн~ю и^же въздержи'тъ по сн~овохъ двд~выX и%мате же вели'ко людїи мно'жество и^ те'лца зла'тыя и^хже сътвори` ваM і^еровоаM въ боги`.

⁸

And now ye profess to resist the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David; and ye are a great multitude, and with you are golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.

⁹

и^ не не и^звергосте л^и сщ~ен#никовъ гн~ихъ сн~овъ а^аро'нь и^ левљ=тов#, и^ сътвори'сте себњ` жръцы` эT людїи всея` земля`. и^ды'и прїидетъ, и^ напо'лнитъ рђкђ свою эT те'лцовъ, з~, и^ ѓ'внњхъ, з~ хъ и^ сътвори'ся въ жръца` не сђщемђ богђ.

⁹

Did ye not cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and make to yourselves priests of the people of any other land? whoever came to consecrate himself with a calf of the herd and seven rams, he forthwith became a priest to that which is no god.

¹⁰

на'шъ же г~ь б~ъ е^сть е^гоже не ѓ^ста'вихомъ, сщ~ен#ницы же е^го слђжатъ г~ђ эT сн~овъ а^а^ро'нь. и^ левљ=ти сђть

¹⁰

But we have not forsaken the Lord our God, and his priests, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, minister to the Lord; and in their daily courses

¹¹

в чи'нњхъ свои^хъ жрђще г~ђ, вс^есъж#же'нїя, ё'тро и^ предъ ве'черомъ, и^ џимїа'мъ сложе'нїя по вс^я дн~и приносятъ г~ђ, и^ преDлага'ю^тся хлњбы на столњ` чистњ'ишеM. е^сть же под на'ми поDсвњщникъ зла'тыи, и^ свњти'лники е^го да вжегTђся всегда` къ ве'черђ. мы` б^о храни'мъ повелњ'нїя г~а б~а эTц~ъ нашихъ, е^гоже вы` ѓ^ста'висте.

¹¹

they sacrifice to the Lord whole-burnt-offering, morning and evening, and compound incense, and set the shewbread on the pure table; and there is the golden candlestick, and the lamps for burning, to light in the evening: for we keep the charge of the Lord God of our fathers; but ye have forsaken him.

¹²

того ра'ди въ во'нњ на'шеи б~ъ е^сть. и^ сщ~ен#ницы е^го възвђча'тъ трђба'ми и^ въз#шђмя'тъ проти'вђ ва'мъ. сн~ове і^и^л~вы не хо'щете брани'ти проти'вђ г~ђ б~ђ эTц~ъ ва'шихъ, и^же нњсть ва'мъ подо'бно.

¹²

And, behold, the Lord and his priests are with us at our head, and the signal trumpets to sound an alarm over us. Children of Israel, fight not against the Lord God of our fathers; for ye shall not prosper.

¹³

сїя томђ` гл~щђ, і^е^ровоа'мъ възврати` поDса'дђ прїити` е'й. вза'дъ на ни'хъ. и^ бы'сть эT сђпроти'вђ і^ё'ды са'мъ. и^ поDса'да съза'ди”

¹³

Now Jeroboam had caused an ambush to come round upon him from behind: and he himself was before Juda, and the ambush behind.

¹⁴

И$ възврати'шася і^ё^де'и, и^ се` ви'дњша бра'нь. эT сђпроти'въ и^ съзаd и^ възопи'ша къ г~ђ. и^ сщ~ен#ницы трђба'ми пњти нача'ша.

¹⁴

And Juda looked back, and, behold, the battle was against them before and behind: and they cried to the Lord, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.

¹⁵

вси' же мђжи і^ё'дины възгласи'ша. и^ с^е тњмъ въпїю'щимъ” И$ ё^страши` б~ъ і^е^рово`а'ма. і^и^л~я. и^же стоя'хђ эT сђпроти'вђ а^вїя' і^и^ё'ды.

¹⁵

And the men of Juda shouted: and it came to pass, when the men of Juda shouted, that the Lord smote Jeroboam and Israel before Abia and Juda.

¹⁶

бњжа'шеy сн~ове і^и^л~еви эT і^ё'ды. и^ преда'сть и^хъ б~ъ в рђкђ и^хъ.

¹⁶

And the children of Israel fled from before Juda; and the Lord delivered them into their hands.

¹⁷

и^ порази` ё^бо и^хъ а^вїя и^ лю'ди е^го ја%звою вели'кою и^ падо'ша ра'нени эT і^и^л~я, е~ со'тъ мђже'и крњпкиX”

¹⁷

And Abia and his people smote them with a great slaughter: and there fell slain of Israel five hundred thousand mighty men.

¹⁸

И$ смири'ша же ся сн~ове и^л~еви въ вре'мя т^о” И$ велми` ё^крњпи'шася сн~ове і^ё'дины” Того ради и^же ё^пова'ша на г~а б~а эTц~ъ свои^хъ”

¹⁸

So the children of Israel were brought low in that day, and the children of Juda prevailed, because they trusted on the Lord God of their fathers.

¹⁹

Погна'ша же а^вїя въ слDњ і^е^ровоа'ма, и^ взя` гра'ды е^го. и^ виџе'ль, и^ ѓ'крsтныя се'ла е^го, и^ гесана'и съ се'лами е^го, і^ е^вро'нъ и^ се'ла е^го

¹⁹

And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and he took from him the cities, Bæthel and her towns, and Jesyna and her towns, and Ephron and her towns.

²⁰

И$ не мо'же сђпроти'витися і^е^ровоа'м# въ вс^я дн~и а^вїя, е^ю'же порази` и^ ё'мре.

²⁰

And Jeroboam did not recover strength again all the days of Abia: and the Lord smote him, and he died.

²¹

а^вїя же ё^крњпи'ся, и^ поя'т# жеn, д~і. и^ роди`, к~в, сн~овъ. и^ ћE и^ в~ дще'ри.

²¹

But Abia strengthened himself, and took to himself fourteen wives, and he begot twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters.

²²

прочаа же словеса` а^вїа и^ дњя'нїя е^го, и^ словеса` е^го. пи'сана сђть ши'рши в# кни'ѕњ а%д#до прoрка”

²²

And the rest of the acts of Abia, and his deeds, and his sayings, are written in the book of the prophet Addo.
