2 Chronicles 21
1 Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
So lagde Josafat seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og han vart gravlagd hjå federne sine i Davidsbyen. Og Joram, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
2 And he had brothers the sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah: all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
Han hadde nokre brør, sønerne åt Josafat; det var Azarja og Jehiel og Zakarja og Azarja og Mikael og Sefatja, som alle var søner åt kong Josafat, Israels-kongen i Israel.
3 And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fenced cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram; because he was the firstborn.
Far deira hadde gjeve deim store gåvor utav sylv, gull og kostnadting og faste byar i Juda, men kongedømet gav han til Joram, for han var den eldste.
4 Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brothers with the sword, and divers also of the princes of Israel.
Men då Joram hadde fenge under seg riket åt far sin og hadde styrkt magti si, då let han alle brørne sine drepe med sverdet, og nokre av Israels-hovdingarne ogso.
5 Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
Tvo og tretti år gamall var Joram då han vart konge, og åtte år rådde han i Jerusalem.
6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he worked that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD.
Han gjekk på same vegarne som Israels-kongarne, og soleis som Ahabs hus hadde gjort; for han var gift med ei dotter til Ahab, og han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo.
7 However, the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a light to him and to his sons for ever.
Like vel vilde Herren ikkje tyna Davids hus for den pakti skuld som han hadde gjort med David, og etter det som han hadde lova, at det alltid skulde lysa ei lampa for honom og sønerne hans.
8 In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king.
I hans tid reiv edomitarne seg laus ifrå Juda og kåra seg ein konge.
9 Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him in, and the captains of the chariots.
Då drog Joram ut med hovdingarne sine og alle stridsvognerne sine, og han tok ut um natti og slo edomitarne, som kringsette honom, og hovudsmennerne yver vognheren.
10 So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.
Soleis kom Edom seg laus ifrå Juda, og er fri den dag i dag. Den gongen reiv Libna seg laus ifrå honom, for di han hadde svike Herren, sin fedregud.
11 Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah thereto.
Han og bygde upp offerhaugar i Judafjelli og forførde Jerusalems-buarne til utukt og Juda til fråfall.
12 And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus says the LORD God of David your father, Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
Då kom det eit brev til honom frå profeten Elia, og der stod det: «So segjer Herren, Gud åt far din, David: «For di du ikkje hev gjenge på vegarne åt Josafat, far din, eller åt Juda-kongen Asa,
13 But have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the prostitutions of the house of Ahab, and also have slain your brothers of your father’s house, which were better than yourself:
men hev gjenge på vegarne åt Israels-kongarne, og hev forført Juda og Jerusalems-buarne til utukt, sameleis som Ahabs hus forførde til det, og endå til hev drepe brørne dine, frendarne dine, som var betre enn du er sjølv,
14 Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite your people, and your children, and your wives, and all your goods:
so vil Herren no lata eit veldugt slag råma folket ditt, sønerne dine, konorne dine og alt det som du eig.
15 And you shall have great sickness by disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.
Og sjølv skal du få ein fæl sjukdom i innvolarne dine, so at um år og dag skal innvolarne dine falla ut for skuld sjukdomen.»»
16 Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians:
Herren øste då upp filistarane imot Joram, og dei arabarane som budde attmed med ætioparne,
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 never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
so dei drog upp imot Juda, trengde seg inn i det og rana alt det som fanst i huset åt kongen, og dertil sønerne og konorne hans, so han hadde ikkje att nokon son so nær som den yngste av sønerne, Joahaz.
18 And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
Og etter alt dette slo Herren honom med ein ulækjeleg sjukdom i innvolarne hans.
19 And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
Etter år og dag, då tvo år var lidne, fall innvolarne hans fram for skuld sjukdomen hans, og han døydde med harde lidingar. Folket hans kveikte ikkje noko bål for honom, soleis som for federne hans.
20 Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being desired. However, they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchers of the kings.
Tvo og tretti år gamall var han då han vart konge; i åtte år rådde han i Jerusalem. Dei gravlagde honom i Davidsbyen, men ikkje i kongegraverne.
