2 Chronicles 21
1 Iehosphaphat then slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the citie of Dauid: and Iehoram his sonne reigned in his steade.
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 sonnes of Iehoshaphat, Azariah, and Iehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were the sonnes of Iehoshaphat 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 gaue them great giftes of siluer and of golde, and of precious things, with strong cities in Iudah, but the kingdome gaue he to Iehoram: for he was the eldest.
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 Iehoram rose vp vpon the kingdom of his father, and made himselfe strong, and slew all his brethren with the sworde, and also of the princes of Israel.
Stupivši na očevo prijestolje i utvrdiv se, Joram pobi svu braću mačem, pa i neke izraelske knezove.
5 Iehoram was two and thirtie yeere olde, when he began to reigne, and he reigned eyght yeere in Ierusalem.
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 the house of Ahab had done: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife, and he wrought euill in the eyes of the Lord.
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 Howbeit the Lord would not destroy the house of Dauid, because of the couenant that he had made with Dauid, and because he had promised to giue a light to him, and to his sonnes for euer.
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 dayes Edom rebelled from vnder the hand of Iudah, and made a King ouer them.
U njegovo se vrijeme Edomci odmetnuše ispod judejske vlasti i postaviše sebi kralja.
9 And Iehoram went forth with his princes, and all his charets with him: and hee rose vp by night, and smote Edom, which had compassed him in, and the captaines of the charets.
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 Edom rebelled from vnder the hande of Iudah vnto this day. then did Libnah rebell at the same time from vnder his hand, because he had forsaken the Lord 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 Moreouer hee made hie places in the mountaines of Iudah, and caused the inhabitants of Ierusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Iudah 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 sayth the Lord God of Dauid thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the wayes of Iehoshaphat thy father, nor in the wayes of Asa King of Iudah,
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 Iudah and the inhabitantes of Ierusalem to go a whoring, as the house of Ahab went a whoring, and hast also slaine thy brethre of thy fathers house, which were better then thou,
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 Beholde, with a great plague will the Lord smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wiues, and all thy substance,
evo, Jahve će svaliti veliku nesreću na tvoj narod, na tvoje sinove, tvoje žene, na sve tvoje imanje.
15 And thou shalt be in great diseases in the disease of thy bowels, vntill thy bowels fall out for the disease, 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 So the Lord stirred vp against Iehoram the spirite of the Philistims, and the Arabians that were beside the Ethiopians.
Jahve podiže na Jorama srdžbu Filistejaca i Arapa koji žive kraj Etiopljana.
17 And they came vp into Iudah, and brake into it, and caryed away all the substance that was found in the Kings house, and his sonnes also, and his wiues, so that there was not a sonne left him, saue Iehoahaz, the yongest of his sonnes.
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, the Lord smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
Poslije svega toga udari ga Jahve neizlječivom crijevnom bolešću.
19 And in processe of time, euen after the end of two yeeres, his guttes fell out with his disease: so he dyed of sore diseases: 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 When he began to reigne, he was two and thirtie yeere olde, and reigned in Ierusalem eight yeere, and liued without being desired: yet they buryed him in the citie of Dauid, but not among 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.
