2 Chronicles 21
1 Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David: and Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
Dormivit autem Iosaphat cum patribus suis, et sepultus est cum eis in Civitate David: regnavitque Ioram filius eius pro eo.
2 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.
Qui habuit fratres filios Iosaphat, Azariam, et Iahiel, et Zachariam, et Azariam, et Michael, et Saphatiam. omnes hi, filii Iosaphat regis Iuda.
3 Their father gave them great gifts, 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 firstborn.
Deditque eis pater suus multa munera argenti, et auri, et pensitationes, cum civitatibus munitissimis in Iuda: regnum autem tradidit Ioram, eo quod esset primogenitus.
4 Now when Jehoram was risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and various also of the princes of Israel.
Surrexit ergo Ioram super regnum patris sui: cumque se confirmasset, occidit omnes fratres suos gladio, et quosdam de principibus Israel.
5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
Trigintaduorum annorum erat Ioram cum regnare coepisset: et octo annis regnavit in Ierusalem.
6 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah.
Ambulavitque in viis regum Israel, sicut egerat domus Achab: filia quippe Achab erat uxor eius, et fecit malum in conspectu Domini.
7 However Jehovah would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a lamp to him and to his children always.
Noluit autem Dominus disperdere domum David propter pactum, quod inierat cum eo: et quia promiserat ut daret ei lucernam, et filiis eius omni tempore.
8 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
In diebus illis rebellavit Edom, ne esset subditus Iudae, et constituit sibi regem.
9 Then Jehoram passed over with his captains, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, along with the captains of the chariots.
Cumque transisset Ioram cum principibus suis, et cuncto equitatu, qui erat secum, surrexit nocte, et percussit Edom qui se circumdederat, et omnes duces equitatus eius.
10 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day: then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken Jehovah, the God of his fathers.
Attamen rebellavit Edom, ne esset sub ditione Iuda usque ad hanc diem: eo tempore et Lobna recessit ne esset sub manu illius. Dereliquerat enim Dominum Deum patrum suorum:
11 Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, and led Judah astray.
insuper et excelsa fabricatus est in urbibus Iuda, et fornicari fecit habitatores Ierusalem, et praevaricari Iudam.
12 A letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, "Thus says Jehovah, the 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,
Allatae sunt autem ei litterae ab Elia propheta, in quibus scriptum erat: Haec dicit Dominus Deus David patris tui: Quoniam non ambulasti in via Iosaphat patris tui, et in viis Asa regis Iuda,
13 but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, like the house of Ahab did, and also have slain your brothers of your father's house, who were better than yourself:
sed incessisti per iter regum Israel, et fornicari fecisti Iudam, et habitatores Ierusalem, imitatus fornicationem domus Achab, insuper et fratres tuos domum patris tui, meliores te occidisti:
14 look, Jehovah will strike with a great plague your people, and your children, and your wives, and all your substance;
ecce Dominus percutiet te plaga magna cum populo tuo, et filiis, et uxoribus tuis, universaque substantia tua.
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.'"
tu autem aegrotabis pessimo languore uteri tui, donec egrediantur vitalia tua paulatim per singulos dies.
16 Jehovah stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians:
Suscitavit ergo Dominus contra Ioram spiritum Philisthinorum, et Arabum, qui confines sunt Aethiopibus.
17 and they came up against 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, except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
et ascenderunt in Terram Iuda, et vastaverunt eam, diripueruntque cunctam substantiam, quae inventa est in domo regis, insuper et filios eius, et uxores: nec remansit ei filius, nisi Ioachaz, qui minimus natu erat.
18 After all this Jehovah struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
Et super haec omnia percussit eum Dominus alvi languore insanabili.
19 It happened, in process of time, at the end of two years, that his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of severe diseases. His people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
Cumque diei succederet dies, et temporum spatia volverentur, duorum annorum expletus est circulus: et sic longa consumptus tabe, ita ut egereret etiam viscera sua, languore pariter, et vita caruit. Mortuusque est in infirmitate pessima, et non fecit ei populus secundum morem combustionis, exequias, sicut fecerat maioribus eius.
20 Thirty-two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years: and he departed without being desired; and they buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
Trigintaduorum annorum fuit, cum regnare coepisset, et octo annis regnavit in Ierusalem. Ambulavitque non recte, et sepelierunt eum in Civitate David: verumtamen non in sepulchro regum.
