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.
Jehoshaphat died was buried with his fore fathers in the City of David, and his son Jehoram took over as king.
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.
His brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat, were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah. All were sons of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah.
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 valuable items, as well as the fortified towns 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.
But once Jehoram had secured the kingdom, he made sure of his position by killing all his brothers, along with some of the princes of Judah.
5 Siangpahrang ah oh amtong naah, Jehoram loe saning quithum, hnetto oh, anih mah Jerusalem to saning tazetto thung uk.
Jehoram was thirty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for 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.
He followed the evil ways of the kings of Israel, and was as bad as Ahab, for he had married one of Ahab's daughters. He did evil in the Lord's sight.
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.
However, Yet the Lord did not want to destroy David's line because of the agreement he had made with David, and he had promised that David's descendants would rule forever like an ever-burning lamp.
8 Jehoram dung naah, Edom loe Judah prae nuiah misa angthawk moe, angmacae koeh ah siangpahrang to suek o.
During Jehoram's reign, Edom rebelled against Judah's rule and chose 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 chariot army. The Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, but he broke through during the 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.
From this time on Edom was in rebellion against Judah's rule, and remains so to this day. At the same time Libnah also rebelled against his rule, because he had abandoned the Lord, the God of his forefathers.
11 Judah prae ah kaom maenawk nuiah hmuensangnawk to a sak, Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk to tangzat zawhsak moe, Judah to loklam amkhraengsak.
He also built high places on the mountains of Judah; he made the people of Jerusalem unfaithful to God and led Judah away from him.
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,
Jehoram received a letter from Elijah the prophet that said, “This is what the Lord, the God of David your forefather says, ‘You have not followed the ways of your father Jehoshaphat, or 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 instead you have followed the ways of the kings of Israel, and have made the people of Jerusalem unfaithful, and the people of Jerusalem as unfaithful as the family of Ahab. You have even 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.
Watch out, for the Lord is going to hit your people hard—your sons, your wives, and all that you own.
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.
You yourself will be struck with a terrible illness—a disease of the bowels which will get worse day by day until they come out.’”
16 Jehoram tuk hanah Angraeng mah Philistin hoi Ethiopia kaminawk taengah kaom Arab kaminawk ih palungthin to pahruek pae.
The Lord stirred up the hostility of the Philistines and of the Arabians (who live near the Ethiopians) against Jehoram.
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.
They came and invaded Judah, and took away everything they found in the king's palace, along with his sons and his wives, so that only the youngest son Jehoahaz was left.
18 Hae tiah oh pacoengah, Angraeng mah kahoih thai ai tazae nathaih to phaksak.
After all this, the Lord struck Jehoram with a disease of the bowels for which there was no cure.
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.
Day after day it grew worse, until after two full years passed his bowels came out because of his disease, and he died in agony. His people did not make a fire to honor him as they had done for his forefathers.
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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years. When he died, no one mourned him. He was buried in the City of David, but not in the royal tombs.
