< 2 Chronicles 21 >
1 And he lay down Jehoshaphat with ancestors his and he was buried with ancestors his in [the] city of David and he became king Jehoram son his in place of him.
[約蘭王的惡行]約沙法特與列祖同眠,與祖先一同葬在達味城;他的兒子約蘭繼位為王。
2 And [belonged] to him brothers [the] sons of Jehoshaphat Azariah and Jehiel and Zechariah and Azariahu and Michael and Shephatiah all these [were] [the] sons of Jehoshaphat [the] king of Israel.
他的兄弟,約沙法特的兒子:哈匝黎雅、耶希耳、則加黎雅、阿匝黎雅、米加耳和舍法提雅,這些都是猶大王約沙法特的兒子,
3 And he had given to them - father their gifts many to silver and to gold and to excellent things with cities of fortifications in Judah and the kingdom he gave to Jehoram for he [was] the firstborn.
他們的父親將許多禮品,金銀財寶,以及猶大的堅城分封了他們,卻將王位賜給了約蘭,因為他是長子。
4 And he arose Jehoram over [the] kingdom of father his and he strengthened himself and he killed all brothers his with the sword and also some of [the] leaders of Israel.
當約蘭登上了他父親的王位鞏固了自己的勢力以後,就殺了他所有的兄弟,和幾個以色列首領。
5 [was] a son of Thirty and two year[s] Jehoram when became king he and eight years he reigned in Jerusalem.
約蘭即位時年三十二歲,在耶路撒冷作王八年。
6 And he walked in [the] way of - [the] kings of Israel just as they did [the] house of Ahab for [the] daughter of Ahab she was of him wife and he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
他走了以色列王所走的道路,有如阿哈布家一樣,因為他娶了阿哈布的女兒為妻,行了上主視為惡的事。
7 And not he was willing Yahweh to destroy [the] house of David on account of the covenant which he had made to David and since he had said to give to him a lamp and to descendants his all the days.
但是,上主不願消滅達味家室,因為曾與達味立過約,應許時常給他和他的子孫留下一盞明燈。[天主降罰]
8 In days his it rebelled Edom from under [the] hand of Judah and they made king over them a king.
約蘭年間,厄東反叛,脫離了猶大的統治,自立為王。
9 And he passed over Jehoram with commanders his and all the chariotry with him and it was he arose night and he struck down Edom which was surrounding him and [the] commanders of the chariotry.
約蘭率領自己的軍長和所有的戰車前去聲討;他夜間起來,衝出了包圍他和戰車隊長的厄東人。
10 And it has rebelled Edom from under [the] hand of Judah until the day this then it rebelled Libnah at the time that from under hand his for he had forsaken Yahweh [the] God of ancestors his.
這樣,厄東人脫離了猶大的統治,直到現在。里貝納也同時叛變,脫離了猶大的統治,因為君王離棄了上主,他祖先的天主,
11 Also he he made high places in [the] mountains of Judah and he made prostitute [themselves] [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem and he thrust aside Judah.
並且在猶大山上建立了高丘,使耶路撒冷的居民行淫,使猶大人背信。
12 And it came to him a writing from Elijah the prophet saying thus - he says Yahweh [the] God of David ancestor your because that not you have walked in [the] ways of Jehoshaphat father your and in [the] ways of Asa [the] king of Judah.
有人給他送來厄里亞先知的一封信,信上說:「上主,你祖先達味的天主這樣說:因為你沒有走你父親約沙法特的路,又沒有走猶大王阿撒的路,
13 And you have walked in [the] way of [the] kings of Israel and you have made prostitute [themselves] Judah and [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem as made [them] prostitute [themselves] [the] house of Ahab and also brothers your [the] house of father your good more than you you killed.
反而走了以色列王的路,引誘猶大和耶路撒冷的居民行淫,如同阿哈布家行淫一樣;又因為你殺了你父親家中那些比你好的兄弟,
14 Here! Yahweh [is] about to strike a blow great on people your and on sons your and on wives your and on all property your.
上主必以巨大的災禍打擊你的百姓,你的妻子兒女,以及你所有的財產。
15 And you [will be] in sickness great in [the] sickness of bowels your until they will come out bowels your from the sickness days to days.
至於你,你必生一種極嚴厲的病,腸胃病,以至兩年內,你的腸子都要流出來。」[預言實現]
16 And he stirred up Yahweh on Jehoram [the] spirit of the Philistines and the Arabs who [were] on [the] hand [the] Cushites.
上主激起培肋舍特人和臨近雇士的阿剌伯人的心,與約蘭為敵。
17 And they came up on Judah and they broke into it and they took captive all the property which was found to [the] house of the king and also sons his and wives his and not he remained to him a son that except Jehoahaz [the] young [one] of sons his.
他們遂前來攻擊猶大,侵入境內,掠去了王宮所有的財物,擄去了他的兒子妻妾;除他最小的兒子約阿哈次,沒有給他留下一個兒子。
18 And after all this he struck him Yahweh - in bowels his to a sickness to there not [was] healing.
此後,上主以一種不能醫治的腸胃病打擊了約蘭。
19 And it was to days - from days and about [the] time of [the] going out of the end of days two they came out bowels his with sickness his and he died in diseases harmful and not they made for him people his a burning like [the] burning of ancestors his.
這病纏綿了一年多;二年末,當他的終期來到時,他的腸子因病都流了出來,他在極苦痛中死了。他的百姓沒有為他舉行焚香禮,如同為他的列祖所行的一樣。
20 A son of thirty and two [years] he was when became king he and eight years he reigned in Jerusalem and he went with not desire and people buried him in [the] city of David and not in [the] graves of the kings.
他即位時年三十二歲,在耶路撒冷作王八年。他逝世後,無人表示悲哀。人將他葬於達味城,但沒有葬在王陵內。
