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.
Na kua moe a Iehohapata ki ona matua, kua tanumia ki ona matua ki te pa o Rawiri; a ko Iehorama, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.
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.
He teina ano ona, he tama na Iehohapata, ko Ataria, ko Tehiere, ko Hakaraia, ko Ataria, ko Mikaera, ko Hepatia. Ko enei katoa he tama na Iehohapata kingi o Iharaira.
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.
I hoatu hoki etahi hakari nui e to ratou papa ki a ratou, he hiriwa, he koura, he taonga utu nui, he pa taiepa i Hura: ko te kingitanga ia i hoatu e ia ki a Iehorama; no te mea ko ia te matamua.
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.
A, ka kake a Iehorama ki te kingitanga o tona papa, ka whai kaha, na patua iho e ia ona teina katoa ki te hoari, me etahi o nga rangatira o Iharaira.
5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
E toru tekau ma rua nga tau o Iehorama i a ia i kingi ai, a e waru ona tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama.
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.
Na haere ana ia i te ara o nga kingi o Iharaira, pera ana me ta te whare o Ahapa i mea ai; he wahine hoki nana te tamahine a Ahapa; heoi he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa.
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.
Otiia kihai i pai a Ihowa ki te whakangaro i te whare o Rawiri: i whakaaro ki te kawenata i whakaritea e ia ki a Rawiri, ki tana hoki i ki ai, ka hoatu he rama ki a ia, ki ana tama, i nga ra katoa.
8 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
I ona ra ka maunu a Eroma i raro i te ringa o Hura, a whakakingitia ake e ratou he kingi mo ratou.
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.
Katahi ka haere a Iehorama ratou ko ana rangatira, me ana hariata katoa. Na maranga ana ia i te po, a patua iho e ia nga Eromi i karapotia ai ia, ratou ko nga rangatira o nga hariata.
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.
Heoi kua maunu a Eroma i raro i te ringa o Hura a taea noatia tenei ra. I maunu ano a Ripina i taua wa i raro i tona ringa, nona hoki i whakarere i a Ihowa, i te Atua o ona matua.
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.
Na i hanga e ia he wahi tiketike ki nga maunga o Hura, a meinga ana e ia nga tangata o Hiruharama kia moepuku, i kumea hoki e ia a Hura ki te he.
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,
Na kua tae mai ki a ia he mea i tuhituhia e Iraia poropiti, e mea ana, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o tou papa, o Rawiri, Na, i te mea kihai koe i haere i nga ara o tou papa, o Iehohapata, i nga ara ano o Aha kingi o Hura;
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:
Engari haere ana koe i te ara o nga kingi o Iharaira, a meinga ana e koe a Hura, ratou ko nga tangata o Hiruharama, kia moepuku, kia rite ki nga moepuku o te whare o Ahapa; a patua ana e koe ou teina o te whare o tou papa, he hunga i pai ake i a koe:
14 look, the LORD will strike with a great plague your people, and your children, and your wives, and all your substance;
Nana, he nui te whiu e whiua ai e Ihowa tou iwi, au tamariki, au wahine, me ou rawa katoa:
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.'"
A tera e nui ou mate, he mate no ou whekau, no ka puta ki waho ou whekau i te mate i tenei ra, i tenei ra.
16 The LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians:
Na whakaarahia ana e Ihowa hei whawhai ki a Iehorama te wairua o nga Pirihitini, o nga Arapi ano i tata ki nga Etiopiana.
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.
Na ka whakaekea a Hura e ratou; kua pakaru ki roto, kahakina ake e ratou nga taonga katoa i rokohanga ki te whare o te kingi, ana tama, me ana wahine, kihai rawa tetahi tama ana i mahue ki a ia, ko Iehoahata anake, ko te whakaotinga o ana tama.
18 After all this the LORD struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
I muri i tenei katoa ka patua e Ihowa ona whekau; he mate kihai i taea te rongoa.
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.
A ka maha nga ra, ka taea te mutunga o nga tau e rua, ka puta ona whekau ki waho, na tona mate hoki, a mate iho ia, he kino ona mate; kahore hoki a tona iwi tahunga mona pera me te tahunga mo ona matua.
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.
E toru tekau ma rua ona tau i tona kingitanga, a e waru ona tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama: na kihai ia i matenuitia i tona haerenga; a tanumia ana ki te pa o Rawiri, engari kahore ki nga tanumanga o nga kingi.
