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.
Nake Jehoshafatu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make na agĩthikwo hamwe nao o kũu Itũũra Inene rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Jehoramu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
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.
Ariũ a ithe na Jehoramu mũrũ wa Jehoshafatu maarĩ Azaria, na Jehieli, na Zekaria, na Azariahu, na Mikaeli, na Shefatia. Acio othe maarĩ ariũ a Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
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.
Ithe nĩamaheete iheo nyingĩ cia betha na thahabu na indo ingĩ cia goro, o hamwe na matũũra manene mairigĩre na thingo cia hinya kũu Juda, no aaheanire ũthamaki kũrĩ Jehoramu tondũ nĩwe warĩ mũriũ wa irigithathi.
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.
Rĩrĩa Jehoramu eehaandire na akĩrũma ũthamaki-inĩ wa ithe-rĩ, nĩooragire ariũ a ithe othe na rũhiũ rwa njora, o hamwe na anene amwe a nyũmba ya ũthamaki a Isiraeli.
5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
Jehoramu aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩĩrĩ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki. Nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ĩnana.
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 the LORD.
Agĩthiĩ na mĩthiĩre ya athamaki a Isiraeli, o ta ũrĩa nyũmba ya Ahabu yekaga, nĩgũkorwo aahikĩtie mwarĩ wa Ahabu. Nake agakĩĩhagia maitho-inĩ ma Jehova.
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 lamp to him and to his children always.
No o na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa aarĩkanĩire na Daudi, Jehova ndeendaga kwananga nyũmba ya Daudi. Nĩeranĩire atĩ nĩarĩmenyagĩrĩra tawa nĩ ũndũ wake na njiaro ciake nginya tene.
8 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
Hĩndĩ ya Jehoramu-rĩ, Edomu nĩmaremeire Juda na magĩtua mũndũ ũngĩ mũthamaki wao ene.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehoramu agĩthiĩ kuo na anene ake na ngaari ciake cia ita ciothe. Nao andũ a Edomu makĩmũrigiicĩria arĩ hamwe na anene a ngaari ciake cia ita, no agĩũkĩra ũtukũ, akĩũra.
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 the LORD, the God of his fathers.
Nginya ũmũthĩ, Edomu matũũraga maremeire Juda. O ihinda rĩu andũ a Libina makĩregana na watho wa Jehoramu, nĩgũkorwo nĩatiganĩirie Jehova, Ngai wa maithe make.
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.
O na ningĩ nĩakĩte kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kũu irĩma-inĩ cia Juda, na agatũma andũ a Jerusalemu mahũũre ũmaraya, na akahĩtithia andũ a Juda njĩra.
12 A letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, "Thus says the LORD, 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,
Jehoramu akĩnyiita marũa moimĩte kũrĩ mũnabii Elija maandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Jehova Ngai wa thoguo Daudi ekuuga ũũ: ‘Ndũthiĩte na mĩthiĩre ya thoguo Jehoshafatu, kana ya Asa mũthamaki wa Juda.
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:
No rĩrĩ, nĩũthiĩte na mĩthiĩre ya athamaki a Isiraeli, na nĩũtongoretie andũ a Juda na a Jerusalemu nĩguo mahũũre ũmaraya, o ta ũrĩa nyũmba ya Ahabu yekire. O na ningĩ nĩũũragĩte ariũ a thoguo, na andũ a nyũmba ya thoguo, na andũ maarĩ aagĩrĩru gũgũkĩra.
14 look, the LORD will strike with a great plague your people, and your children, and your wives, and all your substance;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, rĩu Jehova akiriĩ kũhũũra andũ aku, na ariũ aku, na atumia aku, na kĩndũ gĩothe gĩaku, acihũũre ihũũra inene.
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.'"
Wee mwene nĩũkũrũara mũno, ũrũare mũrimũ wa mara ũtangĩhona, nginya mũrimũ ũcio ũtũme mara maku mathire biũ.’”
16 The LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians:
Jehova akĩarahũrĩra Jehoramu ũũru wa Afilisti na wa Arabu arĩa maatũũraga gũkuhĩ na Akushi.
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.
Magĩtharĩkĩra Juda, na magĩkũhũũra, na magĩkuua indo ciothe iria ciarĩ nyũmba ya mũthamaki, o hamwe na ariũ ake na atumia ake. Ndaatigĩirio mũriũ o na ũmwe o tiga Ahazia ũrĩa warĩ mũnini mũno.
18 After all this the LORD struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
Thuutha wa maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, Jehova nĩarehithĩirie Jehoramu mũrimũ wa mara ũtangĩhona.
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.
Mahinda mathiianga, mũthia-inĩ wa mĩaka ĩĩrĩ-rĩ, mara make makiuma nĩ ũndũ wa mũrimũ ũcio, nake agĩkua arĩ na ruo rũnene mũno. Andũ ake matiigana gwakia mwaki nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtĩĩo gĩake, ta ũrĩa meekĩte nĩ ũndũ wa maithe.
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.
Jehoramu aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩĩrĩ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake aathamakire arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ĩnana. Na rĩrĩ, akua gũtirĩ mũndũ wagĩire na kĩeha, nake agĩthikwo Itũũra Inene rĩa Daudi, no ndaathikirwo mbĩrĩra-inĩ cia athamaki.
