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].
Nígbà náà Jehoṣafati sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba a rẹ̀, a sì sin ín pẹ̀lú wọn ní ìlú ńlá Dafidi. Jehoramu ọmọ rẹ̀ sì rọ́pò rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba.
2 His [younger] brothers were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah.
Àwọn arákùnrin Jehoramu ọmọ Jehoṣafati jẹ́ Asariah, Jehieli, Sekariah. Asariahu, Mikaeli àti Ṣefatia. Gbogbo àwọn wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ọmọ Jehoṣafati ọba Israẹli.
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.
Baba wọn ti fún wọn ní ẹ̀bùn púpọ̀ ti fàdákà àti wúrà àti àwọn ohun èlò iyebíye pẹ̀lú àwọn ìlú ààbò ní Juda, ṣùgbọ́n, ó ti gbé ìjọba fún Jehoramu nítorí òun ni àkọ́bí ọmọkùnrin.
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.
Nígbà tí Jehoramu fi ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ gidigidi lórí ìjọba baba a rẹ̀, ó sì fi idà pa gbogbo àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọbìnrin ọba Israẹli.
5 Jehoram was 32 years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
Jehoramu jẹ́ ẹni ọdún méjìlélọ́gbọ̀n nígbà tí ó di ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mẹ́jọ.
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.
Ó rìn ní ọ̀nà àwọn ọba Israẹli gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìdílé Ahabu ti ṣe, nítorí ó fẹ́ ọmọbìnrin Ahabu. Ó ṣe búburú lójú Olúwa.
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.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ rí bẹ́ẹ̀, nítorí tí májẹ̀mú tí Olúwa ti dá fún Dafidi kì í ṣe ìfẹ́ Olúwa láti pa ìdílé Dafidi run ó ti ṣe ìlérí láti tọ́jú fìtílà kan fún un àti àwọn àtẹ̀lé rẹ̀ títí láé.
8 While Jehoram was ruling, the people of [the] Edom [region] rebelled against [the king of] Judah and appointed their own king.
Ní àkókò Jehoramu, Edomu ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Juda, wọ́n sì gbé ọba tiwọn kalẹ̀.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, Jehoramu lọ síbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ àti gbogbo àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́. Àwọn ará Edomu yí i ká àti àwọn alákòóso àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n ó dìde ní òru ó sì ṣẹ́gun wọn ní òru.
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].
Títí di ọjọ́ òní ni Edomu ti wà ní ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Juda. Libina ṣọ̀tẹ̀ ní àkọ́kọ́ náà, nítorí tí Jehoramu ti kọ Olúwa sílẹ̀, Ọlọ́run àwọn baba a rẹ̀.
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.
Òun pẹ̀lú ti kọ́ àwọn ibi gíga lórí àwọn òkè Juda. Ó sì ti fà á kí àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu ó ṣe àgbèrè pẹ̀lú ara wọn. Ó sì ti jẹ́ kí wọn ó ṣáko lọ.
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.
Jehoramu gba ìwé láti ọwọ́ Elijah wòlíì, tí ó wí pé, “Èyí ní ohun tí Olúwa, Ọlọ́run baba à rẹ Dafidi wí: ‘Ìwọ kò tí ì rìn ní ọ̀nà àwọn baba à rẹ Jehoṣafati tàbí Asa ọba 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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ti rìn ní ọ̀nà àwọn ọba Israẹli, ìwọ sì ti tọ́ Juda àti àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu láti ṣe àgbèrè sí ara wọn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ilé Ahabu ti ṣe. Ìwọ sì ti pa àwọn arákùnrin rẹ, ẹ̀yà ara ilé baba à rẹ, àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó dára jù ọ́ lọ.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nísinsin yìí, Olúwa ti fẹ́rẹ lu àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, àwọn ọmọ rẹ, àwọn ìyàwó rẹ àti gbogbo ohun tí ó jẹ́ tìrẹ, pẹ̀lú àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn ńlá.
15 And you yourself will have an intestinal disease that will continue to become worse, and you will suffer from it until you die.'”
Ìwọ tìkára yóò ṣe àárẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àìsàn lílọ́ra ti ìfun, títí tí àìsàn náà yóò fi jẹ́ kí àwọn ìfun rẹ jáde sí ìta.’”
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.
Olúwa ru ìbínú àwọn ará Filistini àti àwọn Arabia tí wọ́n ń gbé ní ẹ̀bá àwọn ará Kuṣi sí Jehoramu.
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.
Wọ́n dojú ìjà kọ Juda, wọ́n gbà á, wọ́n sì kó gbogbo ọrọ̀ tí a rí ní ilé ọba pẹ̀lú, àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin kankan kò kù sílẹ̀ fún un bí kò ṣe Ahasiah, àbíkẹ́yìn nínú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀.
18 After that happened, Yahweh caused Jehoram to be afflicted with an intestinal disease that no one could cure.
Lẹ́yìn gbogbo èyí, Olúwa jẹ Jehoramu ní yà pẹ̀lú ààrùn tí kò ṣe é wòsàn nínú ìfun.
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.
Ní àkókò kan ní ìparí ọdún kejì, àwọn ìfun rẹ̀ jáde nítorí ààrùn náà ó sì kú nínú ìrora ńlá. Àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ kò dá iná láti fi bu ọlá fún un, gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ti ṣe fún àwọn baba a rẹ̀.
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.
Jehoramu jẹ́ ẹni ọdún méjìlélọ́gbọ̀n ní ìgbà tí ó di ọba, Ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mẹ́jọ. Ó kọjá lọ, kò sí ẹni tí ó kábámọ̀. A sì sin ín si ìlú ńlá ti Dafidi. Ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe nínú ibojì àwọn ọba.
