2 Chronicles 21
1 Jehoshaphat died was buried with his fore fathers in the City of David, and his son Jehoram took over as king.
Jozafati akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bakoko na ye kati na engumba ya Davidi. Yorami, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
2 His brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat, were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah. All were sons of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah.
Tala bandeko mibali ya Yorami: Azaria, Yeyeli, Zakari, Azaria, Mikaeli mpe Shefatia. Bango nyonso bazalaki bana mibali ya Jozafati, mokonzi ya Isalaele.
3 Their father had given them many gifts of silver and gold and valuable items, as well as the fortified towns in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram because he was the firstborn.
Tata na bango apesaki bango bakado ebele ya palata, ya wolo, ya biloko ya talo; apesaki bango lisusu bingumba batonga makasi kati na Yuda, kasi apesaki bokonzi epai ya Yorami mpo ete azalaki mwana na ye ya liboso ya mobali.
4 But once Jehoram had secured the kingdom, he made sure of his position by killing all his brothers, along with some of the princes of Judah.
Tango Yorami azwaki bokonzi ya tata na ye mpe alendaki na bokonzi yango, abomaki na mopanga bandeko na ye nyonso ya mibali elongo na ndambo ya bakambi ya Isalaele.
5 Jehoram was thirty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years.
Yorami azalaki na mibu tuku misato na mibale ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu mwambe na Yelusalemi.
6 He followed the evil ways of the kings of Israel, and was as bad as Ahab, for he had married one of Ahab's daughters. He did evil in the Lord's sight.
Alandaki nzela oyo bakonzi ya Isalaele batambolaki na yango mpe asalaki mabe na miso ya Yawe ndenge libota ya Akabi esalaki, pamba te abalaki mwana mwasi ya Akabi.
7 However, Yet the Lord did not want to destroy David's line because of the agreement he had made with David, and he had promised that David's descendants would rule forever like an ever-burning lamp.
Nzokande, Yawe alingaki te kobebisa libota ya Davidi, mpo na boyokani oyo Ye moko Yawe asalaki elongo na Davidi, mpe mpo ete alakaki kopesa mpo na libela bokonzi epai ya Davidi mpe epai ya bana na ye.
8 During Jehoram's reign, Edom rebelled against Judah's rule and chose their own king.
Na tango oyo Yorami azalaki na bokonzi, bato ya Edomi batombokelaki Yuda mpe bamipesaki mokonzi.
9 So Jehoram crossed into Edom with his officers and all his chariot army. The Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, but he broke through during the night.
Yorami akendeki kuna elongo na bakonzi na ye ya basoda mpe bashar na ye nyonso. Na butu, atelemaki mpe abetaki bato ya Edomi oyo bazingelaki ye elongo na bakonzi ya basoda oyo babundaka na bashar.
10 From this time on Edom was in rebellion against Judah's rule, and remains so to this day. At the same time Libnah also rebelled against his rule, because he had abandoned the Lord, the God of his forefathers.
Wuta mokolo wana kino lelo, Edomi etombokelaka kaka Yuda. Na tango wana, Libina mpe etombokelaki Yorami, pamba te Yorami asundolaki Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na ye.
11 He also built high places on the mountains of Judah; he made the people of Jerusalem unfaithful to God and led Judah away from him.
Yorami atongaki kutu bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba ya Yuda; atindikaki bato ya Yelusalemi na kosambela bikeko mpe apengwisaki Yuda.
12 Jehoram received a letter from Elijah the prophet that said, “This is what the Lord, the God of David your forefather says, ‘You have not followed the ways of your father Jehoshaphat, or Asa, king of Judah,
Yorami azwaki mokanda kowuta na mosakoli Eliya; ezalaki koloba: « Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya mokonzi na yo Davidi, alobi: ‹ Lokola olandi te ndakisa ya Jozafati, tata na yo, mpe ya Asa, mokonzi ya Yuda,
13 but instead you have followed the ways of the kings of Israel, and have made the people of Jerusalem unfaithful, and the people of Jerusalem as unfaithful as the family of Ahab. You have even killed your brothers, your father's family, who were better than you.
kasi olandi banzela ya bakonzi ya Isalaele, mpe otindiki bato ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi na kosambela banzambe ya bikeko ndenge libota ya Akabi esalaki; lokola obomaki lisusu bandeko na yo ya mibali, bato ya ndako ya tata na yo, bato oyo bazalaki malamu koleka yo,
14 Watch out, for the Lord is going to hit your people hard—your sons, your wives, and all that you own.
Yawe alingi sik’oyo koboma, na nzela ya etumbu ya somo, bato na yo, bana na yo ya mibali, basi na yo mpe biloko na yo nyonso.
15 You yourself will be struck with a terrible illness—a disease of the bowels which will get worse day by day until they come out.’”
Yo moko mpe okobela bokono ya makasi, bokono ya libumu oyo pasi na yango ekomata se komata mikolo nyonso kino kobimisa yo misopo na libanda. › »
16 The Lord stirred up the hostility of the Philistines and of the Arabians (who live near the Ethiopians) against Jehoram.
Yawe asalaki ete bato ya Filisitia mpe bato ya Arabi oyo bazalaki kovanda pembeni ya bato ya Kushi babundisa Yorami.
17 They came and invaded Judah, and took away everything they found in the king's palace, along with his sons and his wives, so that only the youngest son Jehoahaz was left.
Babundisaki Yuda, bakotaki kati na yango na makasi mpe bamemaki biloko nyonso oyo bamonaki kati na ndako ya mokonzi elongo na bana na ye ya mibali mpe basi na ye; mwana mobali moko kaka atikalaki: Yoakazi, mwana na ye ya suka.
18 After all this, the Lord struck Jehoram with a disease of the bowels for which there was no cure.
Sima na makambo oyo nyonso, Yawe atindelaki ye bokono ya libumu oyo esilaka te.
19 Day after day it grew worse, until after two full years passed his bowels came out because of his disease, and he died in agony. His people did not make a fire to honor him as they had done for his forefathers.
Pasi na yango ezalaki mikolo nyonso komata se komata; mpe na suka ya mobu ya mibale, misopo ya Yorami ebimaki na libanda mpo na bokono mpe akufaki kati na pasi makasi. Bato na ye batumbaki te biloko ya solo kitoko mpo na kopesa ye lokumu ndenge basalaki mpo na batata na ye.
20 Jehoram was thirty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years. When he died, no one mourned him. He was buried in the City of David, but not in the royal tombs.
Yorami azalaki na mibu tuku misato na mibale ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu mwambe na Yelusalemi. Akendeki kaka ndenge wana, moto ata moko te ayokaki mawa. Bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi, kasi kati na bakunda ya bakonzi te.
