< 2 Chronicles 21 >
1 And Jehoshaphat went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David. And Jehoram his son became king in his place.
Torej Józafat je zaspal s svojimi očeti in bil s svojimi očeti pokopan v Davidovem mestu. Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Jehorám.
2 And he had brothers, sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were sons of Jehoshaphat, king of Israel.
Ta je imel brate, Józafatove sinove: Azarjája, Jehiéla, Zeharjája, Azarjája, Mihaela in Šefatjája. Vsi ti so bili sinovi Izraelovega kralja Józafata.
3 And their father gave them much silver and gold and things of great value, as well as walled towns in Judah; but the kingdom he gave to Jehoram, because he was the oldest.
Njihov oče jim je dal veliko daril iz srebra in iz zlata in dragocenih stvari, z utrjenimi mesti v Judu, toda kraljestvo je dal Jehorámu, ker je bil prvorojenec.
4 Now when Jehoram had taken his place over his father's kingdom, and had made his position safe, he put all his brothers to death with the sword, as well as some of the princes of Israel.
Torej ko je bil Jehorám dvignjen h kraljestvu svojega očeta, se je okrepil in vse svoje brate usmrtil z mečem in tudi številne izmed Izraelovih princev.
5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years.
Jehorám je bil star dvaintrideset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval osem let.
6 He went in the ways of the kings of Israel, and did as the family of Ahab did, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.
Hodil je po poti Izraelovih kraljev, podobno kakor je storila Ahábova hiša, kajti za ženo je imel Ahábovo hčer. Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh.
7 But it was not the Lord's purpose to send destruction on the family of David, because of the agreement he had made with David, when he said he would give to him and to his sons a light for ever.
Vendar Gospod ni hotel uničiti Davidove hiše zaradi zaveze, ki jo je sklenil z Davidom in kakor je obljubil, da da luč njemu in njegovim sinovom na veke.
8 In his time Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, and took a king for themselves.
V njegovih dneh so se Edómci spuntali izpod Judovega gospostva in si postavili kralja.
9 Then Jehoram went over with his captains and all his war-carriages ... made an attack by night on the Edomites, whose forces were all round him ... on the captains of the war-carriages.
Potem je Jehorám s svojimi princi odšel naprej in vsi njegovi bojni vozovi z njim. Ponoči je vstal in udaril Edomce, ki so obkolili njega in stotnike bojnih vozov.
10 So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, to this day: and at the same time Libnah made itself free from his rule; because he was turned away from the Lord, the God of his fathers.
Tako so se Edómci spuntali izpod Judove roke do današnjega dne. Isti čas se je tudi Libna spuntala izpod njegove roke, ker je zapustil Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov.
11 And more than this, he made high places in the mountains of Judah, teaching the people of Jerusalem to go after false gods, and guiding Judah away from the true way.
Poleg tega je postavil visoke kraje po Judovih gorah in prebivalcem Jeruzalema storil, da zagrešijo prešuštvovanje in k temu zapeljal Juda.
12 And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, The Lord, the God of your father David, says, Because you have not kept to the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or the ways of Asa, king of Judah,
In k njemu je prišlo pisanje preroka Elija, rekoč: ›Tako govori Gospod, Bog tvojega očeta Davida: ›Ker nisi hodil po poteh svojega očeta Józafata niti po poteh Judovega kralja Asája,
13 But have gone in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the people of Jerusalem go after false gods, as the family of Ahab did: and because you have put to death your father's sons, your brothers, who were better than yourself:
temveč si hodil po poti Izraelovih kraljev in si pripravil Juda in prebivalce Jeruzalema, da se vlačugajo, podobno vlačugarstvom Ahábove hiše in si tudi umoril svoje brate od hiše svojega očeta, ki so bili boljši kakor ti sam.
14 Now, truly, the Lord will send a great destruction on your people and your children and your wives and everything which is yours:
Glej, z veliko nadlogo bo Gospod udaril tvoje ljudstvo, tvoje otroke, tvoje žene in vse tvoje dobrine,
15 And you yourself will undergo the cruel pains of a disease in your stomach, so that day by day your inside will be falling out because of the disease.
ti pa boš imel veliko slabost z boleznijo svoje notranjosti, dokler tvoja notranjost ne zleze ven zaradi razloga bolezni dan za dnem.«
16 Then the Philistines and the Arabians, who are by Ethiopia, were moved by the Lord to make war on Jehoram;
Poleg tega je Gospod zoper Jehoráma razvnel duha Filistejcev in Arabcev, ki so bili blizu Etiopijcev.
17 And they came up against Judah, forcing a way into it, and took away all the goods in the king's house, as well as his sons and his wives; so that he had no son but only Jehoahaz, the youngest.
Ti so prišli gor v Juda in vdrli vanj in odnesli vse imetje, ki je bilo najdeno v kraljevi hiši in tudi njegove sinove in njegove žene, tako da mu ni ostal sin razen Joaháza, najmlajšega izmed njegovih sinov.
18 And after all this the Lord sent on him a disease of the stomach from which it was impossible for him to be made well.
Po vsem tem ga je Gospod udaril v njegovi notranjosti z neozdravljivo boleznijo.
19 And time went on, and after two years, his inside falling out because of the disease, he came to his death in cruel pain. And his people made no burning for him like the burning made for his fathers.
Pripetilo se je tekom časa, po koncu dveh let, da je njegova notranjost zlezla ven zaradi razloga njegove slabosti. Tako je umrl od hudih bolezni. Njegovo ljudstvo zanj ni naredilo nobenega sežiga [dišav], podobnega sežigu njegovim očetom.
20 He was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years: and at his death he was not regretted; they put his body into the earth in the town of David, but not in the resting-place of the kings.
Dvaintrideset let je bil star, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval osem let in odšel, brez da bi ga želeli. Vendar so ga pokopali v Davidovem mestu, toda ne v kraljevih mavzolejih.
