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

¹

Въ лѣ́то ѻ҆смоена́десѧть ца́рства і҆еровоа́млѧ воцари́сѧ а҆ві́а над̾ і҆ꙋ́дою:

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.

²

трѝ лѣ̑та ца́рствова во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ. И҆́мѧ же ма́тери є҆гѡ̀ мааха̀ дще́рь оу҆рїи́лева ѿ гаваѡ́на. И҆ бѣ̀ бра́нь междꙋ̀ і҆еровоа́момъ и҆ междꙋ̀ а҆ві́ею.

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.

³

И҆ ѡ҆полчи́сѧ а҆ві́а въ си́лѣ во́инскїѧ си́лы, въ четы́рехъ ста́хъ ты́сѧщахъ мꙋже́й си́льныхъ: і҆еровоа́мъ же оу҆стро́и сопроти́вꙋ є҆гѡ̀ бра́нь во ѻ҆смѝ ста́хъ ты́сѧщахъ мꙋже́й вое́нныхъ крѣ́пкихъ си́лою.

⁴

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

⁴

Ста́ же а҆ві́а на горѣ̀ сомо́ри, ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть на горѣ̀ є҆фре́мли, и҆ речѐ: слы́шите і҆еровоа́мъ и҆ ве́сь і҆и҃ль:

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?

⁵

и҆лѝ не вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ дадѐ ца́рство даві́дꙋ над̾ і҆и҃лемъ во вѣ́ки и҆ сыновѡ́мъ є҆гѡ̀ въ завѣ́тъ вѣ́ченъ;

⁶

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

⁶

и҆ воста̀ і҆еровоа́мъ сы́нъ нава́товъ, ра́бъ соломѡ́на сы́на даві́дова, и҆ ѿве́ржесѧ ѿ господи́на своегѡ̀:

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.

⁷

и҆ собра́шасѧ къ немꙋ̀ мꙋ́жїе па́гꙋбнїи, сы́нове законопрестꙋ́пнїи, и҆ воста̀ проти́вꙋ ровоа́ма сы́на соломѡ́нова, ровоа́мъ же бѣ̀ ю҆нѣ́йшїй и҆ се́рдцемъ страшли́въ, и҆ не возмо́же противоста́ти лицꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀:

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.

⁸

и҆ нн҃ѣ вы̀ глаго́лете противоста́ти лицꙋ̀ црⷭ҇тва гдⷭ҇нѧ въ рꙋцѣ̀ сынѡ́въ даві́довыхъ: и҆ вы̀ мно́зи ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ съ ва́ми телцы̀ златі́и, и҆̀хже сотворѝ ва́мъ і҆еровоа́мъ въ бо́ги:

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.

⁹

не и҆зверго́сте ли свѧще́нникѡвъ гдⷭ҇нихъ сынѡ́въ а҆арѡ́нихъ и҆ леѵі́тѡвъ, и҆ сотвори́сте себѣ̀ жерцы̀ ѿ люді́й всеѧ̀ землѝ, приходѧ́й напо́лнити рꙋ́кꙋ свою̀ телце́мъ ѿ волѡ́въ и҆ ѻ҆бна́ми седмїю̀, и҆ сотвори́сѧ жерце́мъ не сꙋ́щемꙋ бо́гꙋ:

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

¹⁰

мы́ же гдⷭ҇а бг҃а на́шегѡ не ѡ҆ста́вихомъ, и҆ свѧще́нницы є҆гѡ̀ слꙋ́жатъ гдⷭ҇ꙋ, сы́нове а҆арѡ́ни и҆ леѵі́ти,

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.

¹¹

и҆ по чреда́мъ свои̑мъ жрꙋ́тъ гдⷭ҇ꙋ всесожжє́нїѧ оу҆́трѡ и҆ пред̾ ве́черомъ, и҆ ѳѷмїа́мъ сложе́нїѧ, и҆ предложє́нїѧ хлѣ́бѡвъ на трапе́зѣ чи́стѣй, и҆ свѣти́лникъ златы́й, и҆ свѣ́щники возжже́нїѧ возжиза́ти къ ве́черꙋ: мы́ бо храни́мъ стражбы̑ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а ѻ҆тє́цъ на́шихъ, вы́ же є҆го̀ ѡ҆ста́висте:

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.

¹²

и҆ сѐ, съ на́ми въ нача́лѣ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ свѧще́нницы є҆гѡ̀, и҆ трꙋбы̑ зна́менованїѧ, є҆́же зна́менати проти́вꙋ ва́мъ: сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы, не ра́тꙋйте проти́вꙋ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а ѻ҆тє́цъ ва́шихъ, поне́же не благопоспѣши́тсѧ ва́мъ.

¹³

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

¹³

І҆еровоа́мъ же ѡ҆братѝ подса́дꙋ прїитѝ є҆мꙋ̀ созадѝ, и҆ бы́сть проти́вꙋ і҆ꙋ́ды (са́мъ), подса́да же созадѝ.

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.

¹⁴

И҆ ѡ҆брати́сѧ і҆ꙋ́да, и҆ сѐ, є҆мꙋ̀ бра́нь сопредѝ и҆ созадѝ, и҆ возопи́ша ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ, и҆ свѧще́нницы вострꙋби́ша трꙋба́ми:

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.

¹⁵

и҆ возопи́ша мꙋ́жїе і҆ꙋ̑дины. И҆ бы́сть вопїю́щымъ мꙋжє́мъ і҆ꙋ̑динымъ, и҆ гдⷭ҇ь поразѝ і҆еровоа́ма и҆ і҆и҃лѧ пред̾ а҆ві́ею и҆ і҆ꙋ́дою:

¹⁶

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

¹⁶

и҆ бѣжа́ша сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы ѿ лица̀ і҆ꙋ́ды, и҆ предадѐ и҆̀хъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ въ рꙋ́ки и҆́хъ:

¹⁷

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

¹⁷

и҆ поразѝ и҆̀хъ а҆ві́а и҆ лю́дїе є҆гѡ̀ ꙗ҆́звою вели́кою, и҆ падо́ша ра́нени ѿ і҆и҃лѧ пѧ́ть сѡ́тъ ты́сѧщъ мꙋже́й крѣ́пкихъ.

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.

¹⁸

И҆ смири́шасѧ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы въ де́нь то́й, и҆ оу҆крѣпи́шасѧ сы́нове і҆ꙋ̑дины, ꙗ҆́кѡ оу҆пова́ша на гдⷭ҇а бг҃а ѻ҆тє́цъ свои́хъ.

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.

¹⁹

Погна́ же а҆ві́а в̾слѣ́дъ і҆еровоа́ма и҆ взѧ̀ ѿ негѡ̀ гра́ды: веѳи́ль и҆ се́ла є҆гѡ̀, и҆ і҆есѵ́нꙋ и҆ се́ла є҆ѧ̀, и҆ є҆фрѡ́нъ и҆ се́ла є҆гѡ̀.

²⁰

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

²⁰

И҆ не возмо́же ктомꙋ̀ проти́витисѧ і҆еровоа́мъ во всѧ̑ дни̑ а҆ві́и, и҆ поразѝ є҆го̀ гдⷭ҇ь: и҆ оу҆́мре.

²¹

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

²¹

А҆ві́а же оу҆крѣпи́сѧ, и҆ поѧ́тъ себѣ̀ же́нъ четырена́десѧть, и҆ родѝ два́десѧть два̀ сы̑на и҆ шестьна́десѧть дще́рей.

²²

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

²²

Прѡ́чаѧ же словеса̀ а҆ві́єва и҆ дѣѧ̑нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ словеса̀ є҆гѡ̀ пи̑сана въ кни́зѣ а҆́дды прⷪ҇ро́ка.

²³

And Abia died with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In the days of Asa the land of Juda had rest ten years.
