2 Dungkrhoekhaih 21
1 To pacoengah, Jehosaphat loe ampanawk khaeah anghak moe, David vangpui ah ampanaw khaeah aphum o; anih zuengah a capa Jehoram to siangpahrang ah oh.
And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David. And his son Jehoram reigned in his place.
2 Jehosaphat capa, Jehoram ih nawkamyanawk loe Azariah, Jehiel, Zekariah, Azariah, Mikael hoi Shephatiah; hae kaminawk loe Israel siangpahrang Jehosaphat ih caa ah oh o boih.
Jehoram’s brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat, were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; these were all sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
3 Ampa mah nihcae hanah paroeai kapop sui hoi sum kanglungnawk, atho kana hmuenmaenawk hoi sipae hoi thungh ih Judah vangpuinawk to tangqum ah paek; toe prae loe calu Jehoram hanah paek.
Their father had given them many gifts of silver and gold and precious things, as well as the fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram because he was the firstborn.
4 Jehoram loe ampa ih prae to toep moe, kacak siangpahrang ah oh, anih loe angmah ih nawkamyanawk to sumsen hoiah hum boih, thoemto Israel angraengnawk doeh a hum.
When Jehoram had established himself over his father’s kingdom, he strengthened himself by putting to the sword all his brothers along with some of the princes of Israel.
5 Siangpahrang ah oh amtong naah, Jehoram loe saning quithum, hnetto oh, anih mah Jerusalem to saning tazetto thung uk.
Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years.
6 Anih loe Ahab canu to lak moe, Ahab imthung takoh khosakhaih baktiah, Israel siangpahrangnawk caehhaih loklam to pazui; Angraeng mikhnukah hmuen kahoih to sak.
And Jehoram walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done. For he married a daughter of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the LORD.
7 Toe Angraeng mah David hoiah lokmaihaih to sak pongah, David imthung to phrae mak ai; anih hoi a caanawk khaeah dungzan aanghaih to paek hanah loksuek boeh.
Yet the LORD was unwilling to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant He had made with David, and since He had promised to maintain a lamp for David and his descendants forever.
8 Jehoram dung naah, Edom loe Judah prae nuiah misa angthawk moe, angmacae koeh ah siangpahrang to suek o.
In the days of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against the hand of Judah and appointed their own king.
9 To pongah Jehoram loe angmah ih angraengnawk hoi hrangleengnawk boih to kawk moe, anih hoi nawnto caeh; anih loe aqum ah angthawk moe, nihcae takui khoep Edom kaminawk hoi hrangleeng angthueng misatuh angraengnawk to tuk.
So Jehoram crossed into Edom with his officers and all his chariots. When the Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, he rose up and attacked by night.
10 To pongah vaihni ni khoek to Edom kaminawk loe Judahnawk ih misa ah oh o. Jehoram loe ampanawk ih Angraeng Sithaw to pahnawt ving pongah, to nathuem ah Libnah prae doeh misa angthawk toeng.
So to this day Edom has been in rebellion against the hand of Judah. Likewise, Libnah rebelled against his rule at the same time, because Jehoram had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers.
11 Judah prae ah kaom maenawk nuiah hmuensangnawk to a sak, Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk to tangzat zawhsak moe, Judah to loklam amkhraengsak.
Jehoram had also built high places on the hills of Judah; he had caused the people of Jerusalem to prostitute themselves and had led Judah astray.
12 To naah tahmaa Elijah khae ih capat to anih khaeah phak, capat pongah, nam pa David ih Angraeng Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; nam pa Jehosaphat hoi Judah siangpahrang Asa caehhaih loklam ah na caeh ai boeh,
Then a letter came to Jehoram from Elijah the prophet, which stated: “This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: ‘You have not walked in the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or of Asa king of Judah,
13 toe Israel siangpahrangnawk caehhaih loklam to na pazui, Ahab imthung takoh mah sak ih baktih toengah, Judah hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk to tangzat zaw kami ah nang coengsak; nangmah pong kahoih kue, nam pa imthung takoh ih nam nawkamya khaeh mataeng doeh na hum boih;
but you have walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and have caused Judah and the people of Jerusalem to prostitute themselves, just as the house of Ahab prostituted itself. You have also killed your brothers, your father’s family, who were better than you.
14 to pongah khenah, vaihiah Angraeng mah nang ih kaminawk, na caanawk, na zunawk hoi na tawnh ih hmuenmaenawk boih nuiah kanung parai danpaekhaih phasak tih boeh.
So behold, the LORD is about to strike your people, your sons, your wives, and all your possessions with a serious blow.
15 Nangmah to doeh ni thokkruek na nathaih kasae mah, na zok thung ih tazae to tasa bangah tacawt ai karoek to, kanung parai nathaih mah pha thui tih, tiah tarik pae.
And day after day you yourself will suffer from a severe illness, a disease of your bowels, until it causes your bowels to come out.’”
16 Jehoram tuk hanah Angraeng mah Philistin hoi Ethiopia kaminawk taengah kaom Arab kaminawk ih palungthin to pahruek pae.
Then the LORD stirred against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and Arabs who lived near the Cushites.
17 Nihcae loe Judah prae thungah angzoh o moe, misatuk o; siangpahrang imthung ah a hnuk o ih hmuennawk to lak pae o boih moe, a capa hoi a zunawk doeh hoih pae o king; a capa kanawk koek Jehoahaz ai ah loe capa maeto doeh tahmat o ai.
So they went to war against Judah, invaded it, and carried off all the possessions found in the king’s palace, along with his sons and wives; not a son was left to him except Jehoahaz, his youngest.
18 Hae tiah oh pacoengah, Angraeng mah kahoih thai ai tazae nathaih to phaksak.
After all this, the LORD afflicted Jehoram with an incurable disease of the bowels.
19 Siangpahrang loe atue sawk ah ngannat, saning hnetto boenghaih bangah loe, a nathaih to nung parai pongah, tazae to tasa bangah tacawt pae, anih loe kana nung parai pongah duek. Prae kaminawk loe anih ampanawk han sak pae o ih hmaiqoenghaih baktiah anih hanah sah pae o ai.
This continued day after day until two full years had passed. Finally, his intestines came out because of his disease, and he died in severe pain. And his people did not make a fire in his honor as they had done for his fathers.
20 Jehoram siangpahrang ah oh tangsuek naah, saning quithum, hnetto oh moe, Jerusalem to saning tazetto thung uk; anih duek naah, mi doeh palungsae o ai. Anih loe David vangpui ah aphum o, siangpahrangnawk ih taprong ah aphum o ai.
Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He died, to no one’s regret, and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
