2 Chronicles 21
1 And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David. And his son Jehoram reigned in his place.
Alò, Josaphat te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e li te antere avèk zansèt li yo nan vil David la; e Joram, fis li a, te vin wa nan plas li.
2 Jehoram’s brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat, were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; these were all sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
Joram te gen frè, fis a Josaphat yo: Azaria, Micaël, avèk Schephathia. Tout sila yo te fis a Josaphat, wa Israël la.
3 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.
Papa yo te ba yo anpil kado an ajan, lò, avèk bagay presye, avèk vil fòtifye nan Juda, men li te bay wayòm nan a Joram akoz li te premye ne.
4 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.
Lè Joram te fin kontwole wayòm papa li, e te fè pozisyon li byen solid, li te touye tout frè li yo avèk nepe, ansanm ak kèk nan chèf Israël yo tou.
5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years.
Joram te gen trann-dezan lè l te devni wa e li te renye pandan uitan Jérusalem.
6 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.
Li te mache nan chemen a wa Israël yo, menm jan avèk lakay Achab, (paske fi Achab la te madanm li) e li te fè mal nan zye a SENYÈ a.
7 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.
Men SENYÈ a pa t vle detwi lakay David akoz akò ke Li te fè ak David la, e akoz Li te fè pwomès pou bay yon lanp pou li avèk fis li yo jis pou tout tan.
8 In the days of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against the hand of Judah and appointed their own king.
Pandan jou li yo, Édom te fè rebèl kont otorite Juda yo, e yo te etabli yon wayòm pou kont yo.
9 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.
Konsa, Joram te travèse avèk chèf li yo ak tout cha li yo avèk li. Li te leve pandan nwit lan, e li te touye Edomit ki te antoure li yo, avèk chèf a cha yo.
10 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.
Akoz sa, Édom te fè rebèl kont Juda jis rive Jodi a. Epi Libna te fè rebèl menm lè a kont otorite li, akoz li te bliye SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt li yo.
11 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.
Anplis, li te fè wo plas nan mòn Juda yo. Li te fè pèp Jérusalem nan jwe pwostitisyon, e li te mennen Juda nan move wout.
12 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,
Pou sa a, yon lèt te vin kote li soti nan men Élie, pwofèt la. Li te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt ou a, David: ‘Akoz ou pa t mache nan chemen a Josaphat, papa ou, ak nan chemen Asa, wa Juda a,
13 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.
men ou te mache nan chemen wa Israël yo, e ou te fè Juda avèk pèp Jérusalem nan jwe pwostitisyon, jan lakay Achab te jwe pwostitisyon an. Anplis, ou te touye frè ou yo, pwòp fanmi pa w, ki te pi bon pase ou.
14 So behold, the LORD is about to strike your people, your sons, your wives, and all your possessions with a serious blow.
Pou sa a, men gade, SENYÈ a va frape pèp ou a, fis ou yo, madanm ou yo ak tout byen ou yo avèk gwo malè.
15 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.’”
Ou va vin soufri yon maladi ki rèd, yon maladi zantray ou, jiskaske zantray ou vin sòti akoz maladi a.’”
16 Then the LORD stirred against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and Arabs who lived near the Cushites.
SENYÈ a te boulvèse lespri Filisten yo kont Joram, ansanm ak Arab yo ki te nan lizyè Etyopyen yo.
17 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.
Yo te vini kont Juda pou te atake li, e yo te fè pote ale tout posesyon ke yo te jwenn lakay wa a, ansanm avèk fis li yo, ak madanm li yo, jiskaske pa t gen fis ki te rete pou li, sof Joachaz, pi piti nan fis li yo.
18 After all this, the LORD afflicted Jehoram with an incurable disease of the bowels.
Konsa, apre tout bagay sa a, SENYÈ a te frape li nan zantray li avèk yon maladi ki pa t kab geri.
19 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.
Alò, li te vin rive pandan tan ekoule a, nan fen dezan, ke zantray li te sòti akoz maladi li a, e li te mouri avèk gwo doulè. Epi pèp li a pa t fè dife pou li tankou dife yo te fè pou papa zansèt li yo.
20 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.
Li te gen trann-dezan lè l te vin wa e li te renye Jérusalem pandan uitan. Lè l te mouri li te san regrè a pèsòn. Yo te antere li lavil David, men pa nan tonm a wa yo.
