Abia’s reign: his victory over Jeroboam.

1In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abia reigned over Juda.Anno diciottesimo del regno di Geroboam, Abia regnò in Giuda.IN the eightenth yeare of king Ieroboam, reigned Abias ouer Iuda.Anno octavodecimo regis Jeroboam, regnavit Abia super Judam. 2Three 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.Tre anni regnò in Gerusalemme. Sua madre ebbe nome Michaia figliuola di Uriel di Gabaa. E fu guerra tra Abia, e Geroboamo.Three yeares reigned he in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Michaia, the daughter of Vriel of Gabaa: there was warre betwen Abias and Ieroboam.Tribus annis regnavit in Jerusalem, nomenque matris ejus Michaia filia Uriel de Gabaa: et erat bellum inter Abiam et Jeroboam. 3And 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.E Abia avendo mossa la guerra, e avendo quattrocento mila uomini valorosissimi, e scelti; Geroboamo dall'altra parte mise in ordine un esercito di ottocento mila uomini scelti, e fortissimi nel mestiero delle armi.And when Abias had begun battel, and had most warlike men, & of chosen ones four hundreth thousand: Ieroboam put his armie in aray on the contrarie side, eight hundreth thousand men, who them selues also were chosen men, and most valiant to battels.Cumque iniisset Abia certamen, et haberet bellicosissimos viros, et electorum quadringenta millia: Jeroboam instruxit econtra aciem octingenta millia virorum, qui et ipsi electi erant, et ad bella fortissimi. 4And Abia stood upon mount Semeron, which was in Ephraim, and said: Hear me, O Jeroboam, and all Israel:Abia adunque si piantò sul monte Semeron, che è nella tribù di Ephraim, e disse: Ascolta tu Geroboam, e tutto Israele:Abias therfore stood vpon mount Semeron, which was in Ephraim, and sayd: Heare Ieroboam, and al Israel:Stetit ergo Abia super montem Semeron, qui erat in Ephraim, et ait: Audi, Jeroboam, et omnis Israël. 5Do 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?Ignorate voi forse, come il Signore Dio d'Israele diede per sempre il regno d'Israele a David, e a' suoi figliuoli con patto inviolabile?Are you ignorant that our Lord the God of Israel gaue the kingdom to Dauid ouer Israel for euer, to him and his children as a couenant of salt?Num ignoratis quod Dominus Deus Israël dederit regnum David super Israël in sempiternum, ipsi et filiis ejus in pactum salis ?

6And Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up: and rebelled against his lord.E come si levò su Geroboam figliuolo di Nabath, servo di Salomone figliuolo di David: e si ribellò contro il suo signore.And there rose vp Ieroboam the sonne of Nabat, the seruant of Salomon the sonne of Dauid: and rebelled agaynst his lord.Et surrexit Jeroboam filius Nabat, servus Salomonis filii David, et rebellavit contra dominum suum. 7And 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.E si unirono con lui uomini vanissimi, figliuoli di Belial, e supplantarono Roboamo figliuolo di Salomone. Or Roboamo era inesperto, e di poco cuore, e non potè resistere ad essi.And there were gathered to him al the most vayne men, and the children of Belial: and they preuayled agaynst Roboam the sonne of Salomon: moreouer Roboam was rude, and of a fearful hart, and could not resist them.Congregatique sunt ad eum viri vanissimi, et filii Belial, et prævaluerunt contra Roboam filium Salomonis: porro Roboam erat rudis, et corde pavido, nec potuit resistere eis. 8And 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.Adesso pertanto voi dite, che avete forze da sottrarvi al regno del Signore posseduto da lui per mezzo dei figliuoli di David, e avete turba grande di popolo, e i vitelli d'oro fatti a voi da Geroboam per vostri dei.Now therfore you say that you are able to resist the kingdom of our Lord, which he possesseth by the children of Dauid, and you haue a great multitude of people, and golden calues, which Ieroboam hath made you for goddes.Nunc ergo vos dicitis quod resistere possitis regno Domini, quod possidet per filios David, habetisque grandem populi multitudinem, atque vitulos aureos quos fecit vobis Jeroboam in deos. 9And 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.E avete discacciati i sacerdoti del Signore, figliuoli d'Aaronne, e i Leviti: e vi siete creati de' sacerdoti, come tutte le genti della terra: venga chi si sia, e consagri la sua mano immolando un giovine toro, e sette arieti, egli è sacerdote di quelli, che non son dei.And you haue cast out the Priestes of of our Lord, the children of Aaron, and the Leuites: and you haue made you priestes, as al the peoples of the earth: who soeuer shal come & consecrate his hand in a bullock of oxen, and in seuen rammes, is made the priest of them that are not goddes,Et ejecistis sacerdotes Domini, filios Aaron, atque Levitas, et fecistis vobis sacerdotes sicut omnes populi terrarum: quicumque venerit, et initiaverit manum suam in tauro de bobus, et in arietibus septem, fit sacerdos eorum qui non sunt dii.

10But 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.Ma il Signore nostro egli è Dio, e noi non lo abbandoniamo; e al Signore servono i sacerdoti della stirpe d'Aaronne, e i Leviti nelle cose, che toccano ad essi:But our Lord is God, whom we forsake not, and the Priestes do minister to our Lord of the children of Aaron, and the Leuites are in their order.Noster autem Dominus, Deus est, quem non relinquimus, sacerdotesque ministrant Domino, de filiis Aaron, et Levitæ sunt in ordine suo: 11And they offer holocausts to the Lord, every day, morning and evening, and incense made according to the ordinance of the law, and the loaves 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.Ed eglino offeriscono olocausti al Signore mattina, e sera, e i timiami manipolati secondo il prescritto della legge, e si espongono i pani sopra una mensa mondissima, ed abbiam presso di noi il candeliere d'oro colle sue lampane, che si accendono sempre la sera: perocché noi osserviamo i precetti del Signore Dio nostro, cui voi avete abbandonato.Holocaustes also they do offer to our Lord, euerie day morning and euening, and incense made according to the preceptes of the law, and the loaues are set forth on a most cleane table, and there is with vs the golden condlesticke, and the lampes therof, that they may be lighted alwaies at euening: for we keepe the preceptes of the Lord our God, whom you haue forsaken.holocausta quoque offerunt Domino per singulos dies mane et vespere, et thymiama juxta legis præcepta confectum, et proponuntur panes in mensa mundissima, estque apud nos candelabrum aureum, et lucernæ ejus, ut accendantur semper ad vesperam: nos quippe custodimus præcepta Domini Dei nostri, quem vos reliquistis. 12Therefore 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.Per la qual cosa il condottiero del nostro esercito egli è Dio, e i suoi sacerdoti dan fiato alle trombe, e le suonano contro di voi. Figliuoli d'Israele, non vogliate combattere contro il Signore Dio de' padri vostri, perchè a voi ciò non torna.Therfore in our host God is the prince, and his Priestes, which sound with trumpettes, and resound agaynst you: children of Israel sight not agaynst our Lord the God of your fathers, because it is not expedient for you.Ergo in exercitu nostro dux Deus est, et sacerdotes ejus, qui clangunt tubis, et resonant contra vos: filii Israël, nolite pugnare contra Dominum Deum patrum vestrorum, quia non vobis expedit. 13While 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.Mentre egli così parlava, Geroboam di dietro gli tendeva insidie. E stando in faccia a' nemici, andava cingendo Giuda col suo esercito.He speaking these thinges, Ieroboam endeuoured to entrappe him behind. And when he stood ouer agaynst the enemies, he compassed Iuda vnwitting with his armie.Hæc illo loquente, Jeroboam retro moliebatur insidias. Cumque ex adverso hostium staret, ignorantem Judam suo ambiebat exercitu.

14And 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.E Giuda volgendosi indietro vide, come egli era assalito di fronte, e alle spalle, e alzò le grida al Signore: e i sacerdoti principiarono a sonare le trombe.And Iudas looking backe, saw the battel at hand before and behind, and cryed to our Lord: and the Priestes begane to sound with trumpettes.Respiciensque Judas, vidit instare bellum ex adverso et post tergum, et clamavit ad Dominum, ac sacerdotes tubis canere cœperunt. 15And all the men of Juda shouted: and behold when they shouted, God terrified Jeroboam, and all Israel that stood against Abia and Juda.E tutti gli uomini di Giuda diedero un grido: e al rimbombo delle lor voci Dio atterrì Geroboam, e tutto Israele, che assaliva Abia, e Giuda.And al the men of Iuda made a shout: and behold they crying, God terrified Ieroboam, and al Israel that stood agaynst Abias and Iuda.Omnesque viri Juda vociferati sunt: et ecce illis clamantibus, perterruit Deus Jeroboam, et omnem Israël qui stabat ex adverso Abia et Juda. 16And the children of Israel fled before Juda, and the Lord delivered them into their hand.E i figliuoli d'Israele voltaron le spalle a Giuda, e Dio gli abbandonò nelle mani di lui.And the children of Israel sled from Iuda, and our Lord deliuered them into their hand.Fugeruntque filii Israël Judam, et tradidit eos Deus in manu eorum. 17And Abia and his people slew them with a great slaughter, and there fell wounded of Israel five hundred thousand valiant men.Abia adunque, e il suo popolo ne fecero gran macello: e delle loro ferite morirono dalla parte d'Israele cinque cento mila uomini di valore.Abias therfore and his people stroke them with a great slaughter, and there fel wounded of Israel fiue hundreth thousand valiant men.Percussit ergo eos Abia et populus ejus plaga magna: et corruerunt vulnerati ex Israël quingenta millia virorum fortium. 18And 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.E restarono abbattuti in quel tempo i figliuoli d'Israele, e grandissimo vigore ripresero i figliuoli di Giuda, perchè aveano sperato nel Signore Dio de' padri loro.And the children of Israel were humbled, at that time, and the children of Iuda excedingly encouraged because they had trusted in our Lord the God of their fathers.Humiliatique sunt filii Israël in tempore illo, et vehementissime confortati filii Juda, eo quod sperassent in Domino Deo patrum suorum.

19And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel and her daughters, and Jesana with her daughters, Ephron also and her daughters.E Abia inseguì Geroboam che fuggiva, e prese le sue città, Bethel, e i luoghi di sua dipendenza, e Jesana, e i luoghi di sua dipendenza, e anche Ephron colle sue adiacenze.And Abias pursewed Ieroboam •ieing, and he tooke his cities, Bethel and her daughters, and Iesana with her daughters, Ephron also and her daughters.Persecutus est autem Abia fugientem Jeroboam, et cepit civitates ejus, Bethel et filias ejus, et Jesana cum filiabus suis, Ephron quoque et filias ejus: 20And Jeroboam was not able to resist any more, in the days of Abia: and the Lord struck him, and he died.E Geroboam non potè più far testa, mentre visse Abia: e fu percosso dal Signore, e morì.Neither was Ieroboam able to resist anie more, in the daies of Abias: whom our Lord stroke, and he died.nec valuit ultra resistere Jeroboam in diebus Abia: quem percussit Dominus, et mortuus est. 21But Abia, being strengthened in his kingdom, took fourteen wives: and begot two and twenty sons, and sixteen daughters.Abia adunque, assodato il suo impero, prese quattordici mogli: e generò ventidue figliuoli, e sedici figliuole.Therfore Abias, his empite being strengthened, tooke fourtene wiues: and he begat two and twentie sonnes, and sixtene daughters.Igitur Abia, confortato imperio suo, accepit uxores quatuordecim: procreavitque viginti duos filios, et sedecim filias. 22And the rest of the acts of Abia, and of his ways and works, are written diligently in the book of Addo the prophet.Il rimanente poi delle geste di Abia, e de' suoi costumi, e delle sue opere sta minutissimamente descritto nel libro di Addo profeta.But the rest of the wordes of Abias, and of his waies and wordes, are writen diligently in the Booke of Addo the Prophete.Reliqua autem sermonum Abia, viarumque et operum ejus, scripta sunt diligentissime in libro Addo prophetæ.
