2 Chronicles 21
1 And Josaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David: and Joram his son reigned in his stead.
Mgbe ahụ, Jehoshafat sooro nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼebe e liri ha nʼobodo Devid. Jehoram nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
2 And he had brethren the sons of Josaphat, Azarias, and Jahiel, and Zacharias, and Azaria, and Michael, and Saphatias, all these were the sons of Josaphat king of Juda.
Ụmụnne Jehoram, ndị bụkwa ụmụ Jehoshafat bụ ndị a: Azaraya, Jehiel, Zekaraya, Azarayu, Maikel na Shefataya. Ndị a niile bụ ụmụ Jehoshafat, bụ eze Izrel.
3 And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and pensions, with strong cities in Juda: but the kingdom he gave to Joram, because he was the eldest.
Nna ha nyere onye ọbụla nʼime ha ọtụtụ onyinye nke ọlaọcha, na ọlaedo, na ihe ndị dị oke ọnụahịa, tinyere obodo e wusiri ike nʼime Juda. Ma o mere Jehoram eze, nʼihi na ọ bu ọkpara ya.
4 So Joram rose up over the kingdom of his father: and when he had established himself, he slew all his brethren with the sword, and some of the princes of Israel.
Mgbe Jehoram mere onwe ya ka o guzosie ike nʼebe alaeze nna ya dị, o weere mma agha gbuo ụmụnne ya ndị ikom niile, tinyere ụfọdụ nʼime ndịisi Izrel.
5 Joram was two and thirty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
Jehoram gbara iri afọ atọ na abụọ mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze. Ọ chịrị afọ asatọ na Jerusalem.
6 And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Achab had done: for his wife was a daughter of Achab, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.
O soro ụzọ ndị eze Izrel, dịka ụlọ Ehab mere, nʼihi na ọ lụrụ ada Ehab. O mere ihe dị njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị.
7 But the Lord would not destroy the house of David: because of the covenant which he had made with him: and because he had promised to give a lamp to him, and to his sons for ever.
Ma nʼagbanyeghị nke a, Onyenwe anyị achọghị ibibi ụlọ Devid, nʼihi ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ Onyenwe anyị na Devid nwere. Nʼihi na o kwere ya nkwa ime ka oriọna dịịrị ya na ụmụ ụmụ ya ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
8 In those days Edom revolted, from being subject to Juda, and made themselves a king.
Nʼoge Jehoram bụ eze, ka Edọm si nʼokpuru Juda nupu isi, họpụtara onwe ha eze.
9 And Joram went over with his princes, and all his cavalry with him, and rose in the night, and defeated the Edomites who had surrounded him, and all the captains of his cavalry.
Ya mere, Jehoram duuru ndịisi agha ya na ụgbọ agha ya niile gaa nʼebe ahụ. O biliri nʼabalị tigbuo ndị Edọm ahụ gbara ya na ndị ọchịagha ụgbọ agha ya gburugburu.
10 However Edom revolted, from being under the dominion of Juda unto this day: at that time Lobna also revolted, from being under his hand. For he had forsaken the Lord the God of his fathers:
Ya mere, Edọm ka na-enupu isi megide Juda, ruo taa. Obodo Libna nupukwara isi nʼotu oge ahụ, nʼihi na Jehoram gbakụtara Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna nna ya ha azụ.
11 Moreover he built also high places in the cities of Juda, and he made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and Juda to transgress.
O wukwara ọtụtụ ebe dị elu nʼọtụtụ ugwu nke Juda, mee ka ndị bi na Jerusalem were onwe ha nye ife arụsị. O si otu a duhiekwa Juda.
12 And there was a letter brought him from Elias the prophet, in which it was written: Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father: Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Josaphat thy father nor in the ways of Asa king of Juda,
Jehoram natara akwụkwọ ozi site nʼaka Ịlaịja onye amụma, nke sịrị: “Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke nke nna gị Devid, kwuru, ‘Nʼihi na i soghị ụzọ niile nke nna gị, bụ Jehoshafat, maọbụ nke Asa bụ eze Juda,
13 But hast walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and hast made Juda and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, imitating the fornication of the house of Achab, moreover also thou hast killed thy brethren, the house of thy father, better men than thyself,
kama ị sooro ụzọ niile nke ndị eze Izrel, meekwa ka ndị Juda na ndị Jerusalem fee chi ọzọ, dịka ụlọ Ehab mere. Ị gbuola ụmụnne nke gị, ndị bụ ndị si nʼezinaụlọ nke gị onwe gị, ndị ikom bụ ndị dị mma karịa gị.
14 Behold the Lord will strike thee with a great plague, with all thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy substance.
Ya mere, ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị ga-eji ihe otiti nke ọrịa tie ndị gị, ụmụ gị ndị ikom, na ndị nwunye gị, na ihe niile i nwere.
15 And thou shalt be sick of a very grievous disease of thy bowels, till thy vital parts come out by little and little every day.
Gị onwe gị kwa ga-ada nʼoke ọrịa, ọrịa afọ nke na-agaghị ekwe ngwọta. Ọrịa a ga-eme ka eriri afọ gị na-enupụta kwa ụbọchị.’”
16 And the Lord stirred up against Joram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who border on the Ethiopians.
Onyenwe anyị mekwara ka ndị Filistia, na ndị Arab, ndị bi nso ndị Kush, bịa lụso Jehoram agha.
17 And they came up into the land of Juda, and wasted it, and they carried away all the substance that was found in the king’s house, his sons also, and his wives: so that there was no son left him but Joachaz, who was the youngest.
Ha ji ike bata Juda, buru ihe niile dị mma ha hụrụ nʼụlọeze, tinyere ụmụ nwoke ya niile na ndị nwunye ya niile. Ọ bụ naanị Ahazaya, nwa ya nwoke nke nta ka ha hapụrụ.
18 And besides all this the Lord struck him with an incurable disease in his bowels.
Ọ bụ mgbe nke a gasịrị ka Onyenwe anyị mere ka ọrịa afọ nke a na-apụghị ịgwọta agwọta bịakwasị Jehoram.
19 And as day came after day, and time rolled on, two whole years passed: then after being wasted with a long consumption, so as to void his very bowels, his disease ended with his life. And he died of a most wretched illness, and the people did not make a funeral for him according to the manner of burning, as they had done for his ancestors.
Mgbe afọ abụọ gasịrị, eriri afọ ya nupụtara nʼihi ọrịa ahụ. Ọ nwụkwara nʼoke ihe mgbu. Mgbe e liri ya, e meghị omenaala ịkwanye ọkụ olili dịka a na-eme nʼoge a na-eli ndị eze.
20 He was two and thirty years old when he began his reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he walked not rightly, and they buried him in the city of David: but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
Ọ gbara iri afọ atọ na abụọ mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze Jerusalem. Ọ chịrị afọ asatọ nwụọ. Ọnwụ ya abụghị ihe mwute nye onye ọbụla. E liri ya nʼobodo Devid ma ọ bụghị nʼime ili a na-eli ndị eze.
