2 Chronicles 21
1 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
Jošafat počinu kraj svojih otaca i bi sahranjen uz njih u Davidovu gradu. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Joram.
2 And he had brethren, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah: all these were sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
Joram je imao šestoricu braće, Jošafatovih sinova: Azarju, Jehiela, Zahariju, Azarju, Mihaela i Šefatju. Svi su oni bili sinovi izraelskog kralja Jošafata.
3 And their father had given them great gifts of silver and of gold and of precious things, besides fortified cities in Judah; but the kingdom he gave to Jehoram, for he was the firstborn.
Otac im je dao mnoge darove u srebru, zlatu i dragocjenostima, s utvrđenim gradovima u Judi; kraljevstvo je dao Joramu jer je bio prvenac.
4 And Jehoram established himself over the kingdom of his father, and strengthened himself; and he slew all his brethren with the sword, and [certain] also of the princes of Israel.
Stupivši na očevo prijestolje i utvrdiv se, Joram pobi svu braću mačem, pa i neke izraelske knezove.
5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
Joramu su bile trideset i dvije godine kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je osam godina u Jeruzalemu.
6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah.
Živio je poput izraelskih kraljeva, kao i dom Ahabov, jer mu je kći Ahabova bila žena; radio je što je zlo u Jahvinim očima.
7 But Jehovah would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he had promised to give to him always a lamp, and to his sons.
Ipak Jahve ne htjede razoriti kuće Davidu zbog Saveza što ga sklopi s njim i zato što mu obeća da će dati svjetiljku njemu i njegovim sinovima zauvijek.
8 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and they set a king over themselves.
U njegovo se vrijeme Edomci odmetnuše ispod judejske vlasti i postaviše sebi kralja.
9 And Jehoram went over with his captains, and all the chariots with him; and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites who had surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots.
Zato Joram pođe sa svojim vojskovođama i sa svim bojnim kolima. Diže se noću i pobi Edomce koji bijahu opkolili njega i zapovjednike bojnih kola.
10 But the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken Jehovah the God of his fathers.
Ipak su se Edomci oslobodili ispod judejske vlasti sve do danas. U isto se doba odmetnu i Libna da ne bude pod njegovom vlašću, jer je on ostavio Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca.
11 Moreover he made high places on the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah [thereto].
Još je i uzvišice napravio po judejskim gorama, naveo na blud Jeruzalemce i zaveo Judejce.
12 And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet saying, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of David thy father: Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
Tada mu od proroka Ilije stiže pismo: “Ovako veli Jahve, Bog tvoga oca Davida: 'Kako nisi išao putovima oca Jošafata, ni putovima judejskoga kralja Ase,
13 but hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, like the fornications of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren, thy father's house who were better than thyself:
nego si išao putovima izraelskih kraljeva i naveo na blud Judejce i Jeruzalemce, kao što je učinio dom Ahabov, a uz to si poubijao vlastitu braću, svoju obitelj, koji bjehu bolji od tebe:
14 behold, Jehovah will smite with a great stroke thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy substance,
evo, Jahve će svaliti veliku nesreću na tvoj narod, na tvoje sinove, tvoje žene, na sve tvoje imanje.
15 and thyself with sore sicknesses, with a disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.
Oboljet ćeš od mnogih bolesti: od bolesti u crijevima, tako da će ti crijeva izaći od bolesti koja će trajati dane i dane.'”
16 And Jehovah stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who [are] near the Ethiopians;
Jahve podiže na Jorama srdžbu Filistejaca i Arapa koji žive kraj Etiopljana.
17 and they came up into Judah, and broke into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was no son left him, except Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons.
Oni napadoše Judeju i osvojiše je, porobiše sve blago što se našlo u kraljevu dvoru, pa i njegove sinove i njegove žene, tako da nije ostao nitko, osim najmlađega sina, Joahaza.
18 And after all this, Jehovah smote him in his bowels with an incurable sickness.
Poslije svega toga udari ga Jahve neizlječivom crijevnom bolešću.
19 And it came to pass, from day to day, and at the time when the second year was drawing to a close, that his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died in cruel sufferings. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
Ona je trajala dane i dane, a kad su se navršile dvije godine, izašla su mu crijeva s bolešću te je umro u strašnim mukama. Narod mu nije priredio mirisna paljenja, kao što je palio njegovim ocima.
20 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being regretted. And they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
Bile su mu trideset i dvije godine kad se zakraljio, a osam je godina kraljevao u Jeruzalemu. Preminuo je, a nitko nije požalio za njim; i sahraniše ga u Davidovu gradu, ali ne u kraljevskoj grobnici.
