2 Chronicles 21
1 And Jehoshaphat lies with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the City of David, and his son Jehoram reigns in his stead.
Yehoshafati akalala pamoja na babu zake na akizikwa pamoaja nao katika mji wa Daudi;
2 And he has brothers, sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah; all these [are] sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel,
Yehoramu, mwanaye, akawa mfalme katika nafasi yake. Yehoramu alikuwa na ndugu, wana wa Yehoshafati: Azaria, Yerieli, Zekaria, Azaria, Mikaeli, na Shefatia. Wote hawa walikuwa wana wa Yehoshafati, mfalme wa Israeli.
3 and their father gives to them many gifts of silver and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah, and he has given the kingdom to Jehoram, for he [is] the firstborn.
Baba yao alikuwa amewapa zawadi kubwa ya fedha, dhahabu, na vitu vingine vya thamani, na miji yenye ngome katika Yuda, lakini kiti cha enzi alimpa Yehoramu, kwa sababu alikuwa mzaliwa wake wa kwanza.
4 And Jehoram rises up over the kingdom of his father, and strengthens himself, and slays all his brothers with the sword, and also of the heads of Israel.
Sasa Yehoramu alipokuwa ameinuka katika ufalme wa baba yake na kujiimarisha mwenyewe kama mfalme, akawaua ndugu zake wote kwa upanga, na pia viongizi wengine mbali mbali wa Israeli.
5 Jehoram [is] a son of thirty-two years in his reigning, and he has reigned eight years in Jerusalem,
Yehoramu alikuwa na umri wa mika thelathini na mbili alipoanza kutawala, na akatawala kwa miaka minane katika Yerusalemu.
6 and he walks in the way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab did, for a daughter of Ahab has been to him for a wife, and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH,
Akatembea katika njia za wafalme wa Israeli, kama nyumba ya Ahabu ilivyokuwa ikifanya, kwa maana alikuwa na binti Ahabu kama mke wake, na akafanya yaliyo maovu katika macho ya Yahwe.
7 and YHWH has not been willing to destroy the house of David, for the sake of the covenant that He made with David, and as He had said to give a lamp to him and to his sons [for] all the days.
Vile vile, Yahwe hakutaka kuiangamiza nyumba ya Daudi, kwa sababu ya agano ambalo alikuwa amefanya na Daudi; alikuwa ameahidi kwamba siku zote angetoa uzima kwa ajili yake na kwa ajili ya vizazi vyake.
8 In his days Edom has revolted from under the hand of Judah, and they cause a king to reign over them;
Katika siku za Yehoramu, Edomu wakaasi wasiwe chini ya Yuda, na wakajisimamishia mfalme juu yao.
9 and Jehoram passes over with his heads, and all the chariots with him, and it comes to pass, he has risen by night and strikes the Edomites who are coming around against him, and the princes of the chariots,
Kisha Yeroboamu akavuka ng'ambo pamoja na maakida na magari yake yote. Ilikuwa usiku aliposimama na kupigana dhidi ya Waedomu ambao walikuwa wamemzunguka na maakida wa magari yake.
10 and Edom revolts from under the hand of Judah to this day; then Libnah revolts at that time from under his hand, because he has forsaken YHWH, God of his fathers;
Kwa hiyo Edomu iliasi kutoka kuwa chini ya Yuda mpaka leo. Libna pia aliasi wakati ule ule wasiwe chini yake. Kwa sababu Yehoramu alikuwa amemsahau Yahwe, Mungu wa babu zake.
11 also, he has made high places on the mountains of Judah, and causes the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit whoredom, and compels Judah.
Zaidi ya hayo, Yehoramu pia alikuwa amezijenga sehemu zake za juu katika milma ya Yuda na akawafanya wakaaji wa Yuda kuishi kama makahaba, na akawaongoza Yuda katika upotevu.
12 And a writing from Elijah the prophet comes to him, saying, “Thus said YHWH, God of your father David: Because that you have not walked in the ways of your father Jehoshaphat, and in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
Barua kutoka kwa nabii Eliya ikaja kwa Yerohamu. Ilisema, “Hivi ndivyo Yahwe, Mungu wa Daudi, babu yako, anasema: Kwa sababu hujatembea katika njia za Yehoshafafati, baba yako, wala katika njia za Asa, mfalme wa Yuda,
13 and you walk in the way of the kings of Israel, and cause Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit whoredom like the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also your brothers, the house of your father, who are better than yourself, you have slain;
bali umetembea katika njia za wafalme wa Israeli, na umewafanya Yuda na wakaaji wa Yerusalemu kuenenda kama kahaba, kama nyumba ya Ahabu walivyofanya—na kwa sababu pia umewaua ndugu zako katika familia ya baba yako kwa upanga, watu waliokuwa bora kuliko wewe mwenyewe—
14 behold, YHWH is striking [with] a great striking among your people, and among your sons, and among your wives, and among all your goods—
ona, Yahwe atawapiga watu wako na pigo kubwa, watoto wako, wake zako, na mali zako zote.
15 and you, with many sicknesses, with disease of your bowels, until your bowels come out by the sickness, day by day.”
Wewe mwenyewe utakuwa na ugonjwa mwingi kwa sababu ya ugonjwa kataika katika utumbo wako, mpaka utumbo wako uanguke nje kwa sababu ya ugonjwa, siku baada ya siku.
16 And YHWH wakes up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and of the Arabians, who [are] beside the Cushim,
Yahwe akaichochea roho ya Wafilisiti dhidi ya Yuda na ya Waarabu waliokuwa karibu na Waethipia.
17 and they come up into Judah, and break into it, and take captive all the substance that is found at the house of the king, and also his sons, and his wives, and there has not been left to him a son except Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons.
Wakaivamia Yuda, wakavamia katika nyumba ya mfalme. Pia wakawachukua wanaye na wake zake. Hakuna mwana aliyebakizwa kwa ajili yake ispokuwa, Yehoshafati, mwanaye mdogo.
18 And after all this YHWH has plagued him in his bowels by a disease for which there is no healing,
Baada ya haya yote, Yahwe akampiga katika utumbo wake kwa ugonjwa usiopona.
19 and it comes to pass, from days to days, and at the time of the going out of the end of two years, his bowels have gone out with his sickness, and he dies of severe diseases, and his people have not made for him a burning like the burning of his fathers.
Ikawa wakati ulipofika, katika mwisho wa miaka miwili, kwamba utumbo wake ukaaanguka nje kwa sababu ya ugonjwa wake, na kwamba akafa kwa ugonjwa mkali. Watu wake hawakutengeneza moto kwa ajili ya heshima yake kama walivyokuwa wamefanyia babu zake.
20 He was a son of thirty-two [years] in his reigning, and he has reigned eight years in Jerusalem, and he goes without desire, and they bury him in the City of David, and not in the graves of the kings.
Alikuwa ameanza kutawala alipokuwa na umrai wa miaka thelatahini na mbaili; akatawala katika Israeli kwa miaka minane, na alikufa bila kuaombolezwa. Wakamzika katika mji wa Daudi, lakini siyo katika makaburi ya kifalme.
