| 2 | He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. | Et il régna trois ans à Jérusalem. Sa mère avait nom Micaja, et elle était fille d'Uriël de Guibba. Or il y eut guerre entre Abija et Jéroboam. | Three years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother`s name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. |
| 3 | And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour. | Et Abija commença la bataille avec une armée composée de gens vaillants pour la guerre; ils étaient quatre cent mille hommes d'élite. Or Jéroboam avait rangé contre lui la bataille avec huit cent mille hommes d'élite, forts et vaillants. | And Abijah joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, who were mighty men of valor. |
| 4 | And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel; | Et Abija se tint debout sur la montagne de Tsémarajim, qui est dans les montagnes d'Ephraïm, et dit: Jéroboam et tout Israël écoutez moi. | And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said, Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel: |
| 5 | Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? | N'est ce pas à vous de savoir que l'Eternel le Dieu d'Israël a donné le Royaume à David sur Israël pour toujours, à lui, dis je, et à ses fils, par une alliance inviolable? | Ought ye not to know that Jehovah, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? |
| 6 | Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord. | Mais Jéroboam fils de Nébat, serviteur de Salomon fils de David, s'est élevé, et s'est rebellé contre son Seigneur. | Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord. |
| 7 | And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them. | Et des hommes de néant, imitateurs de la malice du Démon se sont assemblés vers lui, ils se sont fortifiés contre Roboam, fils de Salomon, parce que Roboam était un enfant, et de peu de courage, et qu'il ne tint pas ferme devant eux. | And there were gathered unto him worthless men, base fellows, that strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender-hearted, and could not withstand them. |
| 8 | And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with your golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods. | Et maintenant vous présumez de tenir ferme contre le Royaume de l'Eternel qui est entre les mains des fils de David, parce que vous êtes une grande multitude de peuple, et que les veaux d'or, que Jéroboam vous a faits pour être vos dieux, sont avec vous. | And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the sons of David; and ye are a great multitude, and there are with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods. |
| 9 | Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods. | N'avez vous pas rejeté les Sacrificateurs de l'Eternel, les fils d'Aaron et les Lévites? et ne vous êtes vous pas fait des sacrificateurs à la façon des peuples des autres pays? Tous ceux qui sont venus avec un jeune veau, et avec sept béliers pour être consacrés, et pour être sacrificateurs de ce qui n'est pas Dieu? | Have ye not driven out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made you priests after the manner of the peoples of [other] lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of [them that are] no gods. |
| 10 | But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business: | Mais quant à nous, l'Eternel est notre Dieu, et nous ne l'avons point abandonné; et les Sacrificateurs qui font le service à l'Eternel, sont enfants d'Aaron, et les Lévites sont employés à leurs fonctions. | But as for us, Jehovah is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and [we have] priests ministering unto Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work: |
| 11 | And they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken him. | Et on fait fumer les holocaustes chaque matin et chaque soir à l'Eternel, et le parfum des choses aromatiques. Les pains de proposition sont arrangés sur la table pure, et on allume le chandelier d'or avec ses lampes, chaque soir; car nous gardons ce que l'Eternel notre Dieu veut qui soit gardé; mais vous l'avez abandonné. | and they burn unto Jehovah every morning and every evening burnt-offerings and sweet incense: the showbread also [set they] in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of Jehovah our God; but ye have forsaken him. |
| 12 | And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper. | C'est pourquoi, voici, Dieu est avec nous pour être notre Chef, et ses Sacrificateurs, et les trompettes de retentissement bruyant pour les faire sonner contre vous. Enfants d'Israël, ne combattez point contre l'Eternel le Dieu de vos pères; car cela ne vous réussira point. | And, behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against Jehovah, the God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper. |
| 13 | But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them. | Mais Jéroboam fit prendre un détour à une embuscade, afin qu'elle se jetât sur eux par derrière; de sorte que les Israélites se présentèrent en front à Juda, et l'embuscade était par derrière. | But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them. |
| 14 | And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. | Et ceux de Juda regardèrent, et voici, ils avaient la bataille en front et par derrière, et ils s'écrièrent à l'Eternel, et les Sacrificateurs sonnaient des trompettes. | And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried unto Jehovah, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. |
| 15 | Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. | Chacun de Juda jetait aussi des cris de joie, et il arriva, comme ils jetaient des cris de joie, que Dieu frappa Jéroboam et tout Israël, devant Abija et Juda. | Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. |
| 16 | And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand. | Et les enfants d'Israël s'enfuirent de devant Juda, parce que Dieu les avait livrés entre leurs mains. | And the children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand. |
| 17 | And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. | Abija donc et son peuple en firent un fort grand carnage, de sorte qu'il tomba d'Israël cinq cent mille hommes d'élite, blessés à mort. | And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. |
| 18 | Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers. | Ainsi les enfants d'Israël furent humiliés en ce temps là, et les enfants de Juda furent renforcés, parce qu'ils s'étaient appuyés sur l'Eternel le Dieu de leurs pères. | Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon Jehovah, the God of their fathers. |
| 19 | And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephraim with the towns thereof. | Et Abija poursuivit Jéroboam, et prit sur lui ces villes; Béthel, et les villes de son ressort; Jésana, et les villes de son ressort; Héphrajim, et les villes de son ressort. | And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Beth-el with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephron with the towns thereof. |
| 20 | Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died. | Et Jéroboam n'eut plus de force durant le temps d'Abija; mais l'Eternel le frappa, et il mourut. | Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and Jehovah smote him, and he died. |
| 21 | But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters. | Ainsi Abija se fortifia, et prit quatorze femmes, et il en eut vingt et deux fils, et seize filles. | But Abijah waxed mighty, and took unto himself fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters. |
| 22 | And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo. | Le reste des faits d'Abija, ses actions, et ses paroles sont écrites dans les Mémoires de Hiddo le Prophète. | And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo. |
