2 Chronicles 21
1 Then Jehoshaphat died, and was buried where his ancestors were buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Jehoram became the king [of Judah].
Jehoshafat notho kaka kwerene kendo noyike but kwerene e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi kendo Jehoram wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
2 His [younger] brothers were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah.
Owete Jehoram ma yawuot Jehoshafat ne gin Azaria gi Jehiel gi Zekaria kod Azariahu gi Mikael kod Shefatia. Magi duto ne gin yawuot Jehoshafat ruodh Israel.
3 Before Jehoshaphat died, he gave them gifts of silver and gold and other valuable things. He also appointed them to rule various cities in Judah that had walls around them. But he appointed Jehoram to be the king of Judah, because Jehoram was his oldest son.
Wuon-gi nosemiyogi mwandu mangʼeny mag fedha gi dhahabu gi gik moko ma nengogi tek kaachiel gi mier mag Juda mochiel gohinga motegno, kata kamano loch pinye nomiyo Jehoram pinyruoth nikech ne en wuode makayo.
4 After Jehoram was completely in control of his father’s kingdom, he had all of his [younger] brothers executed, along with some of the leaders of the nation.
Kane Jehoram nosegurore motegno e kom duongʼ wuon mare, nonego owetene gi ligangla kaachiel gi joka dhood ruoth mamoko mag Israel.
5 Jehoram was 32 years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
Jehoram ne ja-higni piero adek gariyo kane obedo ruoth, kendo norito piny kodak Jerusalem kuom higni aboro.
6 But he did many of the [evil] things that the kings of Israel had done. He did many things that Yahweh considers to be evil, things that the family of Ahab had done, because he married one of Ahab’s daughters.
Noluwo timbe mag ruodhi Israel mana kaka jood Ahab notimo nimar nokendo nyar Ahab. Notimo timbe mamono e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
7 However, because of the agreement that Yahweh had made with King David, Yahweh did not want to get rid of the descendants of David. He had promised that David’s descendants would always be the ones who ruled Judah.
Kata kamano Jehova Nyasaye ne ok otieko od Daudi nikech noparo singruok mane otimo kode. Nosesingore ne Daudi gi ogandane ni ginibed e loch nyaka chiengʼ.
8 While Jehoram was ruling, the people of [the] Edom [region] rebelled against [the king of] Judah and appointed their own king.
E ndalo loch Jehoram, Edom nongʼanyo ne Juda mi gibedo gi ruodhgi giwegi.
9 So Jehoram and his officers and his men in chariots went to Edom. There, the army of Edom surrounded them. Jehoram escaped during the night.
Omiyo Jehoram nodhi kuno gi jotende kod gechene duto mag lweny. Jo-Edom nolwore kaachiel gi jotend gechene mag lweny, to nochiewo gotieno momwomogi.
10 But the king of Judah was never able to regain control of Edom, and Edom is still not controlled by Judah. [The people in] Libnah [city between Judah and Philistia] also rebelled against Judah. Those things happened because Jehoram turned away from [obeying] Yahweh, the God whom his ancestors [belonged to].
Nyaka chil kawuono jo-Edom pod ongʼanyo ne jo-Juda. Jo-Libna bende nongʼanyo e ndalono nikech Jehoram noweyo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kwerene.
11 On the hilltops in Judah he had also built shrines [to worship idols], and had caused the people of Judah to stray away from Yahweh by worshiping foreign gods.
Bende ne osegero kuonde motingʼore malo mag lemo e gode matindo mag Juda kendo nomiyo jo-Jerusalem oweyo Nyasaye kendo omiyo jo-Juda bende orwenyo.
12 One day, Jehoram received a letter from the prophet Elijah. Elijah had written this in the letter: “This is what Yahweh, the God whom your ancestor [King] David [worshiped], says: 'You have not done things that please me like your father Jehoshaphat did or what King Asa did.
Jehoram nonwangʼo baruwa koa ir Elija janabi mawacho niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kwaru Daudi wacho, ‘Ok iseluwo yore wuonu Jehoshafat kata mago mag Asa ruodh Juda.
13 Instead, you have continually done the [evil things] that the kings of Israel have done. You have encouraged the people in Jerusalem and other places in Judah to stop worshiping Yahweh, like the descendants of Ahab did. You have also murdered your own brothers, who were more righteous men than you are.
To isewuotho e yore mag ruodhi mag Israel, omiyo isemiyo jo-Juda kod jo-Jerusalem oseweyo luwa mana kaka dhood Ahab notimo. Bende isenego oweteni monywoligo ma nyithind wuonu hie, joma ne ber moloyi.
14 So now Yahweh is about to very severely punish the people in your kingdom and even your own children and your wives and everything that you own.
Koro omiyo Jehova Nyasaye biro chwado jogi, yawuoti kod mondi kod gimoro amora miluongo ni mari, noyud chwat malit.
15 And you yourself will have an intestinal disease that will continue to become worse, and you will suffer from it until you die.'”
In iwuon nibed gi tuo marach manocham nyimbiyi, kendo tuoni nomi nyimbiyi wuog oko.’”
16 Then Yahweh caused some men from the Philistia people-group and some Arabs who lived near the coast [of the Mediterranean Sea], where people from Ethiopia had settled, to become angry with Jehoram.
Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo jo-Filistia gi jo-Arabu modak mokiewo kod jo-Kush obedo mamono kod Jehoram.
17 Their army invaded Judah and took away [from Jerusalem] all the valuable things that they found in the king’s palace, and even his sons and wives. His youngest son, Ahaziah, was the only one of his sons whom they did not take away.
Negimonjo Juda magi kedo kode kendo negipeyo gik moko duto mane nitie e od ruoth kaachiel gi yawuote kod monde. Onge wuode mane odongʼ makmana wuode ma chogo miluongo ni Ahazia.
18 After that happened, Yahweh caused Jehoram to be afflicted with an intestinal disease that no one could cure.
Bangʼ mano Jehova Nyasaye nogoyo Jehoram gi tuo malich momako nyimbiye ma ok thiedhre.
19 About two years later, while he was in great pain, he died because of that disease. The people of Judah had made bonfires to honor his ancestors when they died, but they did not make a bonfire for Jehoram.
Bangʼ kinde manok madirom higni ariyo, tuone nomedore ma nyimbiye nowuok oko omiyo notho ka en gi rem malich. Joge ne ok olosone mach mar magenga kaka nolosne kwerene.
20 Jehoram was 32 years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years. No one was sorry when he died. His corpse was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, but he was not buried where the other kings [of Judah] had been buried.
Jehoram ne ja-higni piero adek gariyo ka nodoko ruoth, kendo norito piny kuom higni aboro kodak Jerusalem. Notho maonge ngʼama nokuyo kuom thone kendo noyike e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi to ok kuma iyikoe ruodhi.
