2 Weche Mag Ndalo 21
1 Jehoshafat notho kaka kwerene kendo noyike but kwerene e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi kendo Jehoram wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
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 Owete Jehoram ma yawuot Jehoshafat ne gin Azaria gi Jehiel gi Zekaria kod Azariahu gi Mikael kod Shefatia. Magi duto ne gin yawuot Jehoshafat ruodh Israel.
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 Wuon-gi nosemiyogi mwandu mangʼeny mag fedha gi dhahabu gi gik moko ma nengogi tek kaachiel gi mier mag Juda mochiel gohinga motegno, kata kamano loch pinye nomiyo Jehoram pinyruoth nikech ne en wuode makayo.
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 Kane Jehoram nosegurore motegno e kom duongʼ wuon mare, nonego owetene gi ligangla kaachiel gi joka dhood ruoth mamoko mag Israel.
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 Jehoram ne ja-higni piero adek gariyo kane obedo ruoth, kendo norito piny kodak Jerusalem kuom higni aboro.
Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years.
6 Noluwo timbe mag ruodhi Israel mana kaka jood Ahab notimo nimar nokendo nyar Ahab. Notimo timbe mamono e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
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 Kata kamano Jehova Nyasaye ne ok otieko od Daudi nikech noparo singruok mane otimo kode. Nosesingore ne Daudi gi ogandane ni ginibed e loch nyaka chiengʼ.
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 E ndalo loch Jehoram, Edom nongʼanyo ne Juda mi gibedo gi ruodhgi giwegi.
In the days of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against the hand of Judah and appointed their own king.
9 Omiyo Jehoram nodhi kuno gi jotende kod gechene duto mag lweny. Jo-Edom nolwore kaachiel gi jotend gechene mag lweny, to nochiewo gotieno momwomogi.
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 Nyaka chil kawuono jo-Edom pod ongʼanyo ne jo-Juda. Jo-Libna bende nongʼanyo e ndalono nikech Jehoram noweyo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kwerene.
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 Bende ne osegero kuonde motingʼore malo mag lemo e gode matindo mag Juda kendo nomiyo jo-Jerusalem oweyo Nyasaye kendo omiyo jo-Juda bende orwenyo.
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 Jehoram nonwangʼo baruwa koa ir Elija janabi mawacho niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kwaru Daudi wacho, ‘Ok iseluwo yore wuonu Jehoshafat kata mago mag Asa ruodh Juda.
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 To isewuotho e yore mag ruodhi mag Israel, omiyo isemiyo jo-Juda kod jo-Jerusalem oseweyo luwa mana kaka dhood Ahab notimo. Bende isenego oweteni monywoligo ma nyithind wuonu hie, joma ne ber moloyi.
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 Koro omiyo Jehova Nyasaye biro chwado jogi, yawuoti kod mondi kod gimoro amora miluongo ni mari, noyud chwat malit.
So behold, the LORD is about to strike your people, your sons, your wives, and all your possessions with a serious blow.
15 In iwuon nibed gi tuo marach manocham nyimbiyi, kendo tuoni nomi nyimbiyi wuog oko.’”
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 Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo jo-Filistia gi jo-Arabu modak mokiewo kod jo-Kush obedo mamono kod Jehoram.
Then the LORD stirred against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and Arabs who lived near the Cushites.
17 Negimonjo Juda magi kedo kode kendo negipeyo gik moko duto mane nitie e od ruoth kaachiel gi yawuote kod monde. Onge wuode mane odongʼ makmana wuode ma chogo miluongo ni Ahazia.
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 Bangʼ mano Jehova Nyasaye nogoyo Jehoram gi tuo malich momako nyimbiye ma ok thiedhre.
After all this, the LORD afflicted Jehoram with an incurable disease of the bowels.
19 Bangʼ kinde manok madirom higni ariyo, tuone nomedore ma nyimbiye nowuok oko omiyo notho ka en gi rem malich. Joge ne ok olosone mach mar magenga kaka nolosne kwerene.
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 ne ja-higni piero adek gariyo ka nodoko ruoth, kendo norito piny kuom higni aboro kodak Jerusalem. Notho maonge ngʼama nokuyo kuom thone kendo noyike e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi to ok kuma iyikoe ruodhi.
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.
