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 became king 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 brothers the sons of Jehoshaphat: 'Azaryah, and Jechiel, and Zecharyahu, and 'Azaryahu, and Michael, and Shephatyahu, all these being sons of Jehoshaphat the 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 gave them many gifts [consisting] of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah; but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram; because he was the first-born.
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 Now when Jehoram was risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he slew all his brothers with the sword, and also some of the princes of Israel.
Stupivši na očevo prijestolje i utvrdiv se, Joram pobi svu braću mačem, pa i neke izraelske knezove.
5 Thirty and two years was Jehoram old when he became king, and eight years did he reign 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 had done the house of Achab; for the daughter of Achab had he for wife: and he did what is evil 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 Yet would the Lord not destroy the house of David, on account of the covenant which he had made with David, and as he had said to give to him a government and to his sons at all times.
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 power of Judah, and they appointed a king over themselves.
U njegovo se vrijeme Edomci odmetnuše ispod judejske vlasti i postaviše sebi kralja.
9 Then did Jehoram go over with his princes, and all the chariots were with him; and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites who compassed him about, 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 Yet Edom revolted from under the power of Judah even until this day: then did Libnah revolt at the same time from under his power; because he had forsaken the Lord 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 He also made high-places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go astray, and misled Judah.
Još je i uzvišice napravio po judejskim gorama, naveo na blud Jeruzalemce i zaveo Judejce.
12 And there came unto him a writing from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus hath said the Lord the God of David thy father, Inasmuch as thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, and in the ways of Assa the 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 caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go astray, as the house of Achab hath caused [others] to go astray, and hast also slain thy brothers of 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, the Lord will inflict a great plague on thy people, and on thy children, and on thy wives, and on all thy possessions;
evo, Jahve će svaliti veliku nesreću na tvoj narod, na tvoje sinove, tvoje žene, na sve tvoje imanje.
15 And thou shalt be [afflicted] with great diseases by a disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels pass out [from thee] by reason of the disease days upon days.
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 the Lord stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that are alongside of the Cushim:
Jahve podiže na Jorama srdžbu Filistejaca i Arapa koji žive kraj Etiopljana.
17 And they went up against Judah, and made an incursion into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and also his sons, and his wives; and there was not left unto him any son, save Jehoachaz, 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 did the Lord afflict him in his bowels with a disease which was incurable.
Poslije svega toga udari ga Jahve neizlječivom crijevnom bolešću.
19 And it came to pass, from days to days, and when the [fixed] time was expired, after two years, that his bowels passed out [from him] by reason of his disease: so he died of evil diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning for 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 Thirty and two years old was he when he became king, and eight years did he reign in Jerusalem, and departed without joy: 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.
