< 2 Chronicles 21 >

1 Then Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the City of David. And his son, Jehoram, reigned in his place.
Le nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e t’Iehosafate naho nalentek’ aman-droae’e an-drova’ i Davide ao; Iehorame ana’e ty nandimbe aze nifehe.
2 And he had brothers, sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were sons of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah.
Nanan-droahalahy re, songa ana’ Iehosafate: i Azarià naho Iekiele naho i Zekariaho naho i Azariaho naho i Mikaele naho i Sefatià songa ana’ Iehosafate mpanjaka’ Israele.
3 And their father gave to them many gifts of silver, and gold, and valuables, with very fortified cities in Judah. But the kingdom he handed on to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.
Nitoloran-drae’e ravoravo maro: volafoty naho volamena naho raha saro­tse, reketse rova fatratse e Iehoda ao; fe natolo’e a’ Iehorame ty fifeheañe amy t’ie ty tañoloñoloña’e.
4 Therefore, Jehoram rose up over the kingdom of his father. And when he had established himself, he killed with the sword all his brothers, and certain ones from the leaders of Israel.
Aa ie fa nitroatse ambone’ ty fifehean-drae’e naho nihafatratse, le fonga zinama’e am-pibara i rahalahi’e rey naho ty ila’o roandria’ Israeleo.
5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem.
Nitelo-polo taoñe ro’ amby t’Iehorame te niorotse nifehe naho nifehe valo-taoñe e Ierosa­laime ao,
6 And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done. For his wife was a daughter of Ahab, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.
naho nañavelo an-state’ o mpanjaka’ Israeleo manahake ty anjomba’ i Akabe, (amy te tañanjomba’e ty anak’ ampela’ i Akabe) vaho nanao ze raty ampiva­zohoa’ Iehovà.
7 But the Lord was not willing to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had formed with him, and because he had promised that he would provide a lamp to him, and to his sons, for all time.
Fe tsy nisitra’ Iehovà ty handrotsake i anjomba’ i Davidey, ty amy fañina nanoe’e amy Davidey, ie nampitama’e te hatolots’aze naho amo ana’eo ty failo hirehetse nainai’e donia.
8 In those days, Edom rebelled, so as not to be subject to Judah, and they appointed for themselves a king.
Niola ambanem-pità’ Iehoda ty Edome tañ’ andro’e vaho nañoriñe mpanjaka hifehe iareo.
9 And when Jehoram had gone across with his leaders, and all the horsemen who were with him, he arose in the night, and struck the Edomites (who had surrounded him), and all the commanders of his horsemen.
Nitsake mb’eo mindre amo mpifehe’eo t’Iehorame naho o sarete’e iabio; le nitroatse haleñe vaho linafa’e o nte Edome niarikatok’ azeo naho o mpifehen-tsareteo.
10 Even so, Edom rebelled, so as not to be under the authority of Judah, even to this day. Also at that time, Libnah withdrew, so as not to be under his hand. For he had forsaken the Lord, the God of his fathers.
Mbe miola ambanem-pità’ Iehoda t’i Edome pak’ androany; le niola henane zay ka t’i Libnà tambanem-pità’e; amy te naforintse’e t’Iehovà, Andrianañaharen-droae’e.
11 Moreover, he also constructed high places in the cities of Judah. And he caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to fornicate, and Judah to prevaricate.
Mbore namboara’e toets’ abo o haboa’ Iehodao naho nampiveve o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo hanoa’ iareo hakarapiloañe vaho nazi’e ka t’Iehoda.
12 Then letters were conveyed to him from the prophet Elijah, in which it was written: “Thus says the Lord, the God of David, your father: Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat, your father, nor in the ways of Asa, the king of Judah,
Aa le niheo ama’e ty sokitse boak’ amy Elià mpitoky, nanao ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i Davide rae’o; Kanao tsy nañaveloa’o ty sata’ Iehosafate rae’o naho ty sata’ i Asa mpanjaka’ Iehoda;
13 but instead you have advanced along the paths of the kings of Israel, and you have caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to fornicate, imitating the fornication of the house of Ahab, and moreover, you have killed your brothers, the house of your father, who are better than you:
te mone mañavelo an-dala’ o mpanjaka’ Israeleo naho mampañarapilo Iehodà naho o mpimone’ Ierosa­laimeo, manahake ty nampañarapiloa’ ty anjomba’ i Akabe Israele; mbore zinama’o o rahalahi’o añ’ anjomban-droae’o nisoa te ama’oo;
14 behold, the Lord will strike you with a great plague, with all your people, and your sons and wives, and all your substance.
le Inao! ho lafae’ Iehovà angorosy mandrambañe ondati’oo naho o ana’oo naho o vali’oo vaho ze vara’o iaby;
15 And you shall be sickened by a very grievous disease of your bowels, until your inner organs depart, little by little, each day.”
vaho hanjekè’ ty areten-troke loza irehe ampara’ te mipontsoañ’ ama’o o aova’oo ami’ty areteñe lomoñandro lomoñandroy.
16 Therefore, the Lord stirred up, against Jehoram, the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who are along the borders of the Ethiopians.
Trinobo’ Iehovà ty tro’ o nte-Pelistio naho o nte-Arabe añ’ila’ o nte-Koseoo ty hiatreatre am’ Iarovame;
17 And they ascended into the land of Judah. And they laid waste to it. And they despoiled all the substance that was found in the house of the king, including even his sons and wives. Neither did there remain for him any son, except Jehoahaz, who was the youngest born.
le nionjo haname Iehoda iereo naho niboroboñak’ ama’e naho fonga tinava’ iareo ty vara añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay naho o ana-dahi’eo naho o vali’eo; vaho tsy nadoke anadahy re naho tsy Iehoakaze tsitson’ ana’ey.
18 And in addition to all these things, the Lord struck him with an incurable disease of the bowels.
Ie añe izay le nampanjekè’ Iehovà am-pisafoa re ami’ty rare tsy lefe jangañeñe,
19 And as day followed after day, and the space of time turned, the course of two years was completed. And after having been wasted by a long consumption, so much so that even his inner organs were discharged, the disease ended along with his life. And so he died of a very grievous illness. And the people did not make a funeral for him, according to the custom of burning, as they had done for his ancestors.
ie añe naho nimodo ty roe taoñe, le nipororoake boak’ ao o aova’eo ty amy arete’ey vaho navetra’ i areten-dratiy. Tsy nanao afo bey ho aze ondatio manahake ty nanoa’ iereo an-droae’e.
20 He was thirty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem. And he did not walk uprightly. And they buried him in the City of David, yet truly, not in the sepulcher of the kings.
Ni-telopolo taoñe ro’amby re te niorotse nifehe, le nifeleke e Ierosalaime ao valo taoñe vaho nienga tsy nikokoañe. Nalente’ iareo an-drova’ i Davide ao fa tsy amo kiborim-panjakao.
