2 Chronicles 21
1 Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
Dormivit autem Iosaphat cum patribus suis, et sepultus est cum eis in Civitate David: regnavitque Ioram filius eius pro eo.
2 And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah: all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
Qui habuit fratres filios Iosaphat, Azariam, et Iahiel, et Zachariam, et Azariam, et Michael, et Saphatiam. omnes hi, filii Iosaphat regis Iuda.
3 And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah: but the kingdom he gave to Jehoram; because he was the firstborn.
Deditque eis pater suus multa munera argenti, et auri, et pensitationes, cum civitatibus munitissimis in Iuda: regnum autem tradidit Ioram, eo quod esset primogenitus.
4 Now when Jehoram had risen to the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren with the sword, and others also of the princes of Israel.
Surrexit ergo Ioram super regnum patris sui: cumque se confirmasset, occidit omnes fratres suos gladio, et quosdam de principibus Israel.
5 Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
Trigintaduorum annorum erat Ioram cum regnare cœpisset: et octo annis regnavit in Ierusalem.
6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab for a wife: and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD.
Ambulavitque in viis regum Israel, sicut egerat domus Achab: filia quippe Achab erat uxor eius, et fecit malum in conspectu Domini.
7 Yet the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a light to him and to his sons for ever.
Noluit autem Dominus disperdere domum David propter pactum, quod inierat cum eo: et quia promiserat ut daret ei lucernam, et filiis eius omni tempore.
8 In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king.
In diebus illis rebellavit Edom, ne esset subditus Iudæ, et constituit sibi regem.
9 Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites who surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots.
Cumque transisset Ioram cum principibus suis, et cuncto equitatu, qui erat secum, surrexit nocte, et percussit Edom qui se circumdederat, et omnes duces equitatus eius.
10 So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.
Attamen rebellavit Edom, ne esset sub ditione Iuda usque ad hanc diem: eo tempore et Lobna recessit ne esset sub manu illius. Dereliquerat enim Dominum Deum patrum suorum:
11 Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot, and compelled Judah to do the same.
insuper et excelsa fabricatus est in urbibus Iuda, et fornicari fecit habitatores Ierusalem, et prævaricari Iudam.
12 And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
Allatæ sunt autem ei litteræ ab Elia propheta, in quibus scriptum erat: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus David patris tui: Quoniam non ambulasti in viis Iosaphat patris tui, et in viis Asa regis Iuda,
13 But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot, like the harlotries of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father’s house, who were better than thyself:
sed incessisti per iter regum Israel, et fornicari fecisti Iudam, et habitatores Ierusalem, imitatus fornicationem domus Achab, insuper et fratres tuos domum patris tui, meliores te occidisti:
14 Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods:
ecce Dominus percutiet te plaga magna cum populo tuo, et filiis, et uxoribus tuis, universaque substantia tua.
15 And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.
tu autem ægrotabis pessimo languore uteri tui, donec egrediantur vitalia tua paulatim per singulos dies.
16 Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Cushites:
Suscitavit ergo Dominus contra Ioram spiritum Philisthinorum, et Arabum, qui confines sunt Æthiopibus.
17 And they came up into Judah, and broke into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king’s house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was not a son left to him, except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
et ascenderunt in Terram Iuda, et vastaverunt eam, diripueruntue cunctam substantiam, quæ inventa est in domo regis, insuper et filios eius, et uxores: nec remansit ei filius, nisi Ioachaz, qui minimus natu erat.
18 And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
Et super hæc omnia percussit eum Dominus alvi languore insanabili.
19 And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of grievous diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
Cumque diei succederet dies, et temporum spatia volverentur, duorum annorum expletus est circulus: et sic longa consumptus tabe, ita ut egereret etiam viscera sua, languore pariter, et vita caruit. Mortuusque est in infirmitate pessima, et non fecit ei populus secundum morem combustionis, exequias, sicut fecerat maioribus eius.
20 Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being desired. Yet they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
Trigintaduorum annorum fuit, cum regnare cœpisset, et octo annis regnavit in Ierusalem. Ambulavitque non recte, et sepelierunt eum in Civitate David: verumtamen non in sepulchro regum.
