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].
HIAMOE iho la o Iehosapata me kona poe kupuna, a kanuia iho la me kona poe kupuna iloko o ke kulanakauhale o Davida; a nohoalii iho la o Iehorama kana keiki mahope ona.
2 His [younger] brothers were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah.
O kona mau hoahanau, na keiki a Iehosapata, oia o Azaria, a me Iehiela, a me Zekaria, a me Azaria, a me Mikaela, a me Sepatia; o keia poe a pau, oia na keiki a Iehosapata ke alii o ka Iseraela.
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.
A haawi aku la ko lakou makuakane na lakou i na makana he nui loa, i ke kala, a i ke gula, a i na mea nani hoi, a me na kulanakauhale paa i ka pa ma Iuda; aka, haawi oia i ke aupuni no Iehorama, no ka mea, oia ka hiapo.
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.
A ku iho la o Iehorama i ke aupuni o kona makuakane, imi iho la oia i mea e paa ai, a pepehi i kona poe hoahanau a pau loa me ka pahikaua, a i kekahi poe luna o ka Iseraela no hoi.
5 Jehoram was 32 years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
He kanakolukumamalua makahiki o Iehorama i kona wa i noho alii ai, a noho alii iho ia ia i na makahiki ewalu ma Ierusalema.
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.
A hele ia ma ka aoao o na'lii o ka Iseraela, ma na mea a ko ka hale o Ahaba i hana'i; no ka mea, o ke kaikamahine a Ahaba oia kana wahine, a hana iho la oia ma ka hewa imua o Iehova.
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.
Aka, aole i makemake o Iehova e hoopau i ko ka hale o Davida no ka berita ana i hana'i me Davida, i kana olelo ana e haawi mai nona i kukui, a no kana poe mamo i na la a pau.
8 While Jehoram was ruling, the people of [the] Edom [region] rebelled against [the king of] Judah and appointed their own king.
I kona mau la, kipi iho la ka Edoma mai ka lima aku o ka Iuda, a hoalii iho la i alii no lakou.
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.
Alaila hele iwaho o Iehorama me kona poe luna, a me na kaa a pau me ia; a ku ae la ia iluna i ka po, a luku i ka Edoma, i ka poe i hoopuni mai ia ia a me na luna no na kaa.
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].
Aka, noho kipi no ka Edoma mai ka lima aku o ka Iuda A hiki i keia la. Ia manawa no hoi, kipi iho la o Libena mai kona lima aku; no ka mea, ua haalele oia ia Iehova i ke Akua o kona poe kupuna.
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.
A hana no hoi ia i na wahi kiekie ma na mauna o Iuda, a hoomoekolohe i ko Ierusalema, a kaohi i ka Iuda malaila.
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.
A hiki mai io na la kekahi palapala na Elia mai na ke kaula, i mai la, Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova ke Akua o Davida o kou makua, I kou hele ole ana ma na aoao o Iehosapata kou makuakane, a me na aoao o Asa, ke alii o ka Iuda,
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.
Aka, hele oe ma ka aoao o na'liio ka Iseraela, a hoomoekolohe i ka Iuda, a me ko Ierusalema, e like me ka moe kolohe o ko ka hale o Ahaba, a ua pepehi no hoi i kou poe hoahanau, i ko ka hale o kou makuakane, ka poe i oi aku ko lakou maikai i kou;
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.
Aia hoi, e hahau o Iehova me ka hahau nui i kou poe kanaka, a me kau poe keiki, a me kau poe wahine, a me kau mau mea a pau loa.
15 And you yourself will have an intestinal disease that will continue to become worse, and you will suffer from it until you die.'”
A e hiki mai maluna ou la eha nui loa, no ka mai ma kou opu, no kou mai e pahu aku no kou naau iwaho i kela la i keia la.
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.
A hoala ae la o Iehova i ka manao o ko Pilisetia e ku e ia Iehorama, a me ko Arabia, ka poe e noho kokoke ana i Aitiopa.
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.
Pii mai la lakou i Iuda a komo iloko, a lawe aku i na mea a pau i loaa ia lakou iloko o ka hale o ke alii, a i kana poe keiki, a me na wahine ana; aole i koe ia ia kekahi keiki, o Iehoaza wale no kana keiki pokii.
18 After that happened, Yahweh caused Jehoram to be afflicted with an intestinal disease that no one could cure.
A mahope iho o keia mau mea, hahau mai la o Iehova ia ia ma kona opu i ka mai hiki ole ke hoolaia.
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.
A hala kekahi mau la, i ka pau ana o na makahiki elua, pahu iwaho kona naau no kona mai. Pela oia i make ai i ka mai nui loa; aole i pupuhi wale kona poe kanaka i ke ahi nona, e like me ke puhi ana no kona poe kupuna.
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.
Kanakolu ona mau makahiki a me kumamaiua i kona wa i noho alii ai, a noho alii iho la ia i na makahiki ewalu ma Ierusalema, a hele aku la ia me ka makemake ole ia mai: a ua kanuia oia iloko o ke kulanakauhale o Davida, aole nae iloko o na ilina o na'lii.
