hosen men； being mighty men of valour。
13：4亚比雅站在以法莲山地中的洗玛脸山上，说，耶罗波安和以色列众人哪，要听我说。
And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim； which is in mount Ephraim； and said； Hear me； thou Jeroboam； and all Israel；
13：5耶和华以色列的神曾立盐约（盐即不废坏的意思），将以色列国永远赐给大卫和他的子孙，你们不知道吗。
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？
13：6无奈大卫儿子所罗门的臣仆，尼八儿子耶罗波安起来背叛他的主人。
Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat； the servant of Solomon the son of David； is risen up； and hath rebelled against his lord。
13：7有些无赖的匪徒聚集跟从他，逞强攻击所罗门的儿子罗波安。那时罗波安还幼弱，不能抵挡他们。
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。
13：8现在你们有意抗拒大卫子孙手下所治耶和华的国，你们的人也甚多，你们那里又有耶罗波安为你们所造当作神的金牛犊。
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 you golden calves； which Jeroboam made you for gods。
13：9你们不是驱逐耶和华的祭司亚伦的后裔和利未人吗。不是照着外邦人的恶俗为自己立祭司吗。无论何人牵一只公牛犊，七只公绵羊将自己分别出来，就可作虚无之神的祭司。
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 eth to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams； the same may be a priest of them that are no gods。
13：10至于我们，耶和华是我们的神，我们并没有离弃他。我们有事奉耶和华的祭司，都是亚伦的后裔，并有利未人各尽其职，
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：
13：11每日早晚向耶和华献燔祭，烧美香，又在精金的桌子上摆陈设饼。又有金灯台和灯盏，每晚点起，因为我们遵守耶和华我们神的命。惟有你们离弃了他。
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。
13：12率领我们的是神，我们这里也有神的祭司拿号向你们吹出大声。以色列人哪，不要与耶和华你们列祖的神争战，因你们必不能亨通。
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。
13：13耶罗波安却在犹大人的后头设伏兵。这样，以色列人在犹大人的前头，伏兵在犹大人的后头。
But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to e about behind them： so they were before Judah； and the ambushment was behind them。
13：14犹大人回头观看，见前后都有敌兵，就呼求耶和华，祭司也吹号。
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。
13：15于是犹大人呐喊。犹大人呐喊的时候，神就使耶罗波安和以色列众人败在亚比雅与犹大人面前。
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。
13：16以色列人在犹大人面前逃跑，神将他们交在犹大人手里。
And the children of Israel fled before Judah： and God delivered them into their hand。
13：17亚比雅和他的军兵大大杀戮以色列人，以色列人仆倒死亡的精兵有五十万。
And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter： so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men。
13：18那时，以色列人被制伏了，犹大人得胜，是因倚靠耶和华他们列祖的神。
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。
13：19亚比雅追赶耶罗波安，攻取了他的几座城，就是伯特利和属伯特利的镇市，耶沙拿和属耶沙拿的镇市，以法拉音（或作以弗伦）和属以法拉音的镇市。
And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam； and took cities from him； Bethel with the towns thereof； and Jeshanah with the towns thereof； and Ephrain with the towns thereof。
13：20亚比雅在世的时候，耶罗波安不能再强盛。耶和华攻击他，他就死了。
Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah： and the LORD struck him； and he died。
13：21亚比雅却渐渐强盛，娶妻妾十四个，生了二十二个儿子，十六个女儿。
But Abijah waxed mighty； and married fourteen wives； and begat twenty and two sons； and sixteen daughters。
13：22亚比雅其馀的事和他的言行都写在先知易多的传上。
And the rest of the acts of Abijah； and his ways； and his sayings； are written in the story of the prophet Iddo。

14：1亚比雅与他列祖同睡，葬在大卫城里。他儿子亚撒接续他作王。亚撒年间，国中太平十年。
So Abijah slept with his fathers； and they buried him in the city of David： and Asa his son reigned in his stead。 In his days the land was quiet ten years。
14：2亚撒行耶和华他神眼中看为善为正的事，
And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God：
14：3除掉外邦神的坛和邱坛，打碎柱像，砍下木偶，
For he took away the altars of the strange gods； and the high places； and brake down the images； and cut down the groves：
14：4吩咐犹大人寻求耶和华他们列祖的神，遵行他的律法，诫命。
And manded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers； and to do the law and the mandment。
14：5又在犹大各城邑除掉邱坛和日像，那时国享太平。
Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images： and the kingdom was quiet before him。
14：6又在犹大建造了几座坚固城。国中太平数年，没有战争，因为耶和华赐他平安。
And he built fenced cities in Judah： for the land had rest； and he had no war in those years； because the LORD had given him rest。
14：7他对犹大人说，我们要建造这些城邑，四围筑墙，盖楼，安门，作闩。地还属我们，是因寻求耶和华我们的神。我们既寻求他，他就赐我们四境平安。于是建造城邑，诸事亨通。
Therefore he said unto Judah； Let us build these cities； and make about them walls； and towers； gates； and bars； while the land is yet before us； because we have sought the LORD our God； we have sought him； and he hath given us rest on every side。 So they built and prospered。
14：8亚撒的军兵，出自犹大拿盾牌拿枪的三十万人。出自便雅悯拿盾牌拉弓的二十八万人。这都是大能的勇士。
And Asa had an army of men that bare targets and spears； out of Judah three hundred thousand； and out of Benjamin； that bare shields and drew bows； two hundred and fourscore thousand： all these were mighty men of valour。
14：9有古实王谢拉率领军兵一百万，战车三百辆，出来攻击犹大人，到了玛利沙。
And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand； and three hundred chariots； and came unto Mareshah。
14：10于是亚撒出去与他迎敌，就在玛利沙的洗法谷彼此摆阵。
Then Asa went out against him； and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah。
14：11亚撒呼求耶和华他的神说，耶和华阿，惟有你能帮助软弱的，胜过强盛的。耶和华我们的神阿，求你帮助我们。因为我们仰赖你，奉你的名来攻击这大军。耶和华阿，你是我们的神，不要容人胜过你。
And Asa cried unto the LORD his God； and said； LORD； it is nothing with thee to help； whether with many； or with them that have no power： help us； O LORD our God； for we rest on thee； and in thy name we go against this multitude。 O LORD； thou art our God； let not man prevail against thee。
14：12于是耶和华使古实人败在亚撒和犹大人面前，古实人就逃跑了。
So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa； and before Judah； and the Ethiopians fled。
14：13亚撒和跟随他的军兵追赶他们，直到基拉耳。古实人被杀的甚多，不能再强盛，因为败在耶和华与他军兵面前。犹大人就夺了许多财物，
And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar： and the Ethiopians were overthrown； that they could not recover themselves； for they were destroyed before the LORD； and before his host； and they carried away very much spoil。
14：14又打破基拉耳四围的城邑。耶和华使其中的人都甚恐惧。犹大人又将所有的城掳掠一空，因其中的财物甚多，
And they smote all the cities round about Gerar； for the fear of the LORD came upon them： and they spoiled all the cities； for there was exceeding much spoil in them。
14：15又毁坏了群畜的圈，夺取许多的羊和骆驼，就回耶路撒冷去了。
They smote also the tents of cattle； and carried away sheep and camels in abundance； and returned to Jerusalem。

15：1神的灵感动俄德的儿子亚撒利雅。
And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded：
15：2他出来迎接亚撒，对他说，亚撒和犹大，便雅悯众人哪，要听我说，你们若顺从耶和华，耶和华必与你们同在。你们若寻求他，就必寻见。你们若离弃他，他必离弃你们。
And he went out to meet Asa； and said unto him； Hear ye me； Asa； and all Judah and Benjamin； The LORD is with you； while ye be with him； and if ye seek him； he will be found of you； but if ye forsake him； he will forsake you。
15：3以色列人不信真神，没有训诲的祭司，也没有律法，已经好久了。
Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God； and without a teaching priest； a
