2 Ljetopisa 21
1 Jošafat počinu kraj svojih otaca i bi sahranjen uz njih u Davidovu gradu. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Joram.
And Josaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Joran his son reigned in his stead.
2 Joram je imao šestoricu braće, Jošafatovih sinova: Azarju, Jehiela, Zahariju, Azarju, Mihaela i Šefatju. Svi su oni bili sinovi izraelskog kralja Jošafata.
And he had brothers, the six sons of Josaphat, Azarias, and Jeiel, and Zacharias, and Azarias, and Michael, and Zaphatias: all these [were] the sons of Josaphat king of Juda.
3 Otac im je dao mnoge darove u srebru, zlatu i dragocjenostima, s utvrđenim gradovima u Judi; kraljevstvo je dao Joramu jer je bio prvenac.
And their father gave them many gifts, silver, and gold, and arms, together with fortified cities in Juda: but he gave the kingdom to Joram, for he [was] the firstborn.
4 Stupivši na očevo prijestolje i utvrdiv se, Joram pobi svu braću mačem, pa i neke izraelske knezove.
And Joram entered upon his kingdom, and strengthened himself, and killed all his brothers with the sword, and [some] of the princes of Israel.
5 Joramu su bile trideset i dvije godine kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je osam godina u Jeruzalemu.
When he was thirty and two years old, Joram succeeded to his kingdom, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
6 Živio je poput izraelskih kraljeva, kao i dom Ahabov, jer mu je kći Ahabova bila žena; radio je što je zlo u Jahvinim očima.
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Achaab; for a daughter of Achaab was his wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord:
7 Ipak Jahve ne htjede razoriti kuće Davidu zbog Saveza što ga sklopi s njim i zato što mu obeća da će dati svjetiljku njemu i njegovim sinovima zauvijek.
nevertheless the Lord would not utterly destroy the house of David, because of the covenant which he made with David, and as he said to him that he would give a light to him and his sons for ever.
8 U njegovo se vrijeme Edomci odmetnuše ispod judejske vlasti i postaviše sebi kralja.
In those days Edom revolted from Juda, and they made a king over themselves.
9 Zato Joram pođe sa svojim vojskovođama i sa svim bojnim kolima. Diže se noću i pobi Edomce koji bijahu opkolili njega i zapovjednike bojnih kola.
And Joram went with the princes, and all the cavalry with him: and it came to pass that he arose by night, and struck Edom that compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots, and the people fled to their tents.
10 Ipak su se Edomci oslobodili ispod judejske vlasti sve do danas. U isto se doba odmetnu i Libna da ne bude pod njegovom vlašću, jer je on ostavio Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca.
And Edom revolted from Juda until this day. Then Lomna at that time revolted from [under] his hand, because he forsook the Lord God of his fathers.
11 Još je i uzvišice napravio po judejskim gorama, naveo na blud Jeruzalemce i zaveo Judejce.
For he built high places in the cities of Juda, and caused the dwellers in Jerusalem to go a-whoring, and led Juda astray.
12 Tada mu od proroka Ilije stiže pismo: “Ovako veli Jahve, Bog tvoga oca Davida: 'Kako nisi išao putovima oca Jošafata, ni putovima judejskoga kralja Ase,
And there came to him [a message] in writing from Eliu the prophet, saying, Thus says the Lord God of your father David, Because you have not walked in the way of your father Josaphat, nor in the ways of Asa king of Juda,
13 nego si išao putovima izraelskih kraljeva i naveo na blud Judejce i Jeruzalemce, kao što je učinio dom Ahabov, a uz to si poubijao vlastitu braću, svoju obitelj, koji bjehu bolji od tebe:
but have walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and have caused Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem to go a-whoring, as the house of Achaab caused [Israel] to go a-whoring, and you have slain your brethren, the sons of your father, who were better than yourself;
14 evo, Jahve će svaliti veliku nesreću na tvoj narod, na tvoje sinove, tvoje žene, na sve tvoje imanje.
behold, the Lord shall strike you with a great plague among your people, and your sons, and your wives, and all your store:
15 Oboljet ćeš od mnogih bolesti: od bolesti u crijevima, tako da će ti crijeva izaći od bolesti koja će trajati dane i dane.'”
and you [shall be afflicted] with a grievous disease, with a disease of the bowels, until your bowels shall fall out day by day with the sickness.
16 Jahve podiže na Jorama srdžbu Filistejaca i Arapa koji žive kraj Etiopljana.
So the Lord stirred up the Philistines against Joram, and the Arabians, and those who bordered on the Aethiopians:
17 Oni napadoše Judeju i osvojiše je, porobiše sve blago što se našlo u kraljevu dvoru, pa i njegove sinove i njegove žene, tako da nije ostao nitko, osim najmlađega sina, Joahaza.
and they went up against Juda, and prevailed against them, and took away all the store which they found in the house of the king, and his sons, and his daughters; and there was no son left to him but Ochozias the youngest of his sons.
18 Poslije svega toga udari ga Jahve neizlječivom crijevnom bolešću.
And after all these things the Lord struck him in the bowels with an incurable disease.
19 Ona je trajala dane i dane, a kad su se navršile dvije godine, izašla su mu crijeva s bolešću te je umro u strašnim mukama. Narod mu nije priredio mirisna paljenja, kao što je palio njegovim ocima.
And it continued from day to day: and when the time of the days came [to] two years, his bowels fell out with the disease, and he died by a grievous distemper: and his people performed no funeral, like the funeral of his fathers.
20 Bile su mu trideset i dvije godine kad se zakraljio, a osam je godina kraljevao u Jeruzalemu. Preminuo je, a nitko nije požalio za njim; i sahraniše ga u Davidovu gradu, ali ne u kraljevskoj grobnici.
He was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he departed without honor, and was buried in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
