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].
Потом почину Јосафат код отаца својих, и би погребен код отаца својих у граду Давидовом; а на његово се место зацари Јорам, син његов.
2 His [younger] brothers were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah.
А браћа му, синови Јосафатови, беху: Азарија и Јехило и Захарија и Азарија и Михаило и Сефатија; ти сви беху синови Јосафата цара Израиљевог.
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.
И отац им даде велике дарове, сребра и злата и заклада с тврдим градовима у земљи Јудиној; царство пак даде Јораму, јер беше првенац.
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.
А Јорам ступивши на царство оца свог и утврдивши се, поби сву браћу своју мачем и неке кнезове Израиљеве.
5 Jehoram was 32 years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
Имаше Јорам тридесет и две године кад се зацари, и царова осам година у Јерусалиму.
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.
И хођаше путем царева Израиљевих, као што чињаше дом Ахавов, јер се ожени кћерју Ахавовом; и чињаше што је зло пред Господом.
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.
Али Господ не хте затрти дом Давидов ради завета који учини с Давидом и што му беше рекао да ће дати видело њему и синовима његовим увек.
8 While Jehoram was ruling, the people of [the] Edom [region] rebelled against [the king of] Judah and appointed their own king.
За његовог времена одврже се Едом да не буде под Јудом, и поставише себи цара.
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.
Зато отиде Јорам с војводама својим и са свим колима својим; и уста ноћу, те поби Едомце који га беху опколили, и заповеднике од кола.
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].
Ипак се одвргоше Едомци да не буду под Јудом до данас. У исто време одврже се Ливна да не буде под њим, јер остави Господа Бога отаца својих.
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.
Још и висине начини по брдима Јудиним, и наведе на прељубу Јерусалимљане и преласти Јуду.
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.
Тада му дође књига од Илије пророка, где му говораше: Овако вели Господ Бог Давида оца твог: Што ниси ходио путевима Јосафата, оца свог и путевима Асе, цара Јудиног,
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.
Него си ходио путем царева Израиљевих и навео си на прељубу Јуду и Јерусалимљане, као што је дом Ахавов навео на прељубу Израиља, и још си побио браћу своју, дом оца свог, боље од себе,
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.
Ево, Господ ће ударити великим злом народ твој и синове твоје и жене твоје и све што имаш.
15 And you yourself will have an intestinal disease that will continue to become worse, and you will suffer from it until you die.'”
И ти ћеш боловати тешко, од болести у цревима, да ће ти црева изаћи од болести, која ће трајати две године.
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.
И тако подиже Господ на Јорама дух Филистејима и Арапима који живе од Етиопљана.
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.
И они дошавши на земљу Јудину продреше у њу, и однесоше све благо што се нађе у дому царевом, и синове његове и жене његове, да му не оста ниједан син осим Јоахаза најмлађег сина његовог.
18 After that happened, Yahweh caused Jehoram to be afflicted with an intestinal disease that no one could cure.
И после свега тога удари га Господ болешћу у цревима, којој не беше лека.
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.
И дан по дан пролажаше, и кад се навршише две године, изиђоше му црева с болешћу и умре од тешких болова и народ му не пали мириса као што је чинио оцима његовим.
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.
Имаше тридесет и две године кад поче царовати, и царова осам година у Јерусалиму, и премину да нико не зажали за њим; и погребоше га у граду Давидовом, али не у гробу царском.
