2 Kronická 21
1 Potom usnul Jozafat s otci svými, a pochován jest s nimi v městě Davidově. I kraloval Jehoram syn jeho místo něho.
Then Jehoshaphat died, and was buried where his ancestors were buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Jehoram became the king [of Judah].
2 Měl pak bratří, syny Jozafatovy, Azariáše, Jechiele, Zachariáše, Azariáše, Michaele a Sefatiáše. Všickni ti byli synové Jozafata krále Izraelského.
His [younger] brothers were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah.
3 Kterýmž byl dal otec jejich darů mnoho, stříbra a zlata, a věcí drahých, s městy hrazenými v Judstvu, království pak dal Jehoramovi, proto že on byl prvorozený.
Before Jehoshaphat died, he gave them gifts of silver and gold and other valuable things. He also appointed them to rule various cities in Judah that had walls around them. But he appointed Jehoram to be the king of Judah, because Jehoram was his oldest son.
4 I uvázal se Jehoram v království otce svého, a zmocniv se, zmordoval všecky bratří své mečem, ano i některé z knížat Izraelských.
After Jehoram was completely in control of his father’s kingdom, he had all of his [younger] brothers executed, along with some of the leaders of the nation.
5 Ve dvou a třidcíti letech byl Jehoram, když počal kralovati, a osm let kraloval v Jeruzalémě.
Jehoram was 32 years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
6 A chodil po cestě králů Izraelských, tak jako činil dům Achabův; nebo dceru Achabovu měl za manželku, a činil zlé věci před očima Hospodinovýma.
But he did many of the [evil] things that the kings of Israel had done. He did many things that Yahweh considers to be evil, things that the family of Ahab had done, because he married one of Ahab’s daughters.
7 Hospodin však nechtěl zahladiti domu Davidova, pro smlouvu, kterouž byl učinil s Davidem, a poněvadž byl řekl, že dá jemu svíci i synům jeho po všecky dny.
However, because of the agreement that Yahweh had made with King David, Yahweh did not want to get rid of the descendants of David. He had promised that David’s descendants would always be the ones who ruled Judah.
8 Ve dnech jeho odstoupili Idumejští, aby nebyli poddáni Judovi, a ustanovili nad sebou krále.
While Jehoram was ruling, the people of [the] Edom [region] rebelled against [the king of] Judah and appointed their own king.
9 Pročež přitáhl Jehoram s knížaty svými, i se všemi vozy svými, a vstav v noci porazil Idumejské, kteříž jej byli obklíčili, i hejtmany vozů jeho.
So Jehoram and his officers and his men in chariots went to Edom. There, the army of Edom surrounded them. Jehoram escaped during the night.
10 Však předce vytáhli se Idumejští z manství Judova až do tohoto dne. Téhož času zprotivilo se i Lebno, aby nebylo pod jeho mocí, proto že opustil Hospodina Boha otců svých.
But the king of Judah was never able to regain control of Edom, and Edom is still not controlled by Judah. [The people in] Libnah [city between Judah and Philistia] also rebelled against Judah. Those things happened because Jehoram turned away from [obeying] Yahweh, the God whom his ancestors [belonged to].
11 Přesto nadělal výsostí po horách Judských, a uvedl v smilství obyvatele Jeruzalémské, nýbrž dostrčil, jako i Judské.
On the hilltops in Judah he had also built shrines [to worship idols], and had caused the people of Judah to stray away from Yahweh by worshiping foreign gods.
12 I přišlo k němu psání od Eliáše proroka, řkoucího: Toto praví Hospodin Bůh Davida otce tvého: Proto že jsi nechodil po cestách Jozafata otce svého, a po cestách Azy krále Judského,
One day, Jehoram received a letter from the prophet Elijah. Elijah had written this in the letter: “This is what Yahweh, the God whom your ancestor [King] David [worshiped], says: 'You have not done things that please me like your father Jehoshaphat did or what King Asa did.
13 Ale chodil jsi po cestě králů Izraelských, a uvedl jsi v smilství Judu i obyvatele Jeruzalémské, tak jako jest v smilství uvedl dům Achabův Izraele, nadto i bratří své, rodinu otce svého, lepší než jsi sám, zmordoval jsi:
Instead, you have continually done the [evil things] that the kings of Israel have done. You have encouraged the people in Jerusalem and other places in Judah to stop worshiping Yahweh, like the descendants of Ahab did. You have also murdered your own brothers, who were more righteous men than you are.
14 Aj, Hospodin uvede ránu velikou na lid tvůj a na syny tvé, na ženy tvé a na všecko jmění tvé,
So now Yahweh is about to very severely punish the people in your kingdom and even your own children and your wives and everything that you own.
15 Ty pak nemocen budeš těžce nemocí střev svých, až z tebe vyjdou střeva tvá pro nemoc rozmáhající se den ode dne.
And you yourself will have an intestinal disease that will continue to become worse, and you will suffer from it until you die.'”
16 A tak vzbudil Hospodin proti Jehoramovi ducha Filistinských a Arabských, kteříž jsou při končinách Chussimských.
Then Yahweh caused some men from the Philistia people-group and some Arabs who lived near the coast [of the Mediterranean Sea], where people from Ethiopia had settled, to become angry with Jehoram.
17 Kteříž vytáhše proti zemi Judské, vtrhli do ní, a rozchvátali všecko jmění, kteréž se nalezlo v domě královském, ano i syny jeho a ženy jeho, tak že mu nezůstalo žádného syna kromě Joachaza, nejmladšího z synů jeho.
Their army invaded Judah and took away [from Jerusalem] all the valuable things that they found in the king’s palace, and even his sons and wives. His youngest son, Ahaziah, was the only one of his sons whom they did not take away.
18 Potom pak po všem ranil jej Hospodin na střevách jeho nemocí nezhojitelnou.
After that happened, Yahweh caused Jehoram to be afflicted with an intestinal disease that no one could cure.
19 A když se to den po dni rozmáhalo, a již čas vycházel přeběhnutí dvou let, vyšla střeva jeho pro nemoc jeho, i umřel na hrozné bolesti. A nepálil mu lid jeho vonných věcí, jako pálívali otcům jeho.
About two years later, while he was in great pain, he died because of that disease. The people of Judah had made bonfires to honor his ancestors when they died, but they did not make a bonfire for Jehoram.
20 Ve třidcíti a ve dvou letech byl, když kralovati počal, a osm let kraloval v Jeruzalémě, a sešel tak, že po něm netoužili. A však jej pochovali v městě Davidově, ale ne v hrobích královských.
Jehoram was 32 years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years. No one was sorry when he died. His corpse was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, but he was not buried where the other kings [of Judah] had been buried.
