Kronika 2 21
1 Esi Yehosafat ku la, woɖii ɖe tɔgbuiawo dome le David ƒe Du la me, eye via Yehoram ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
Iehosphaphat then slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the citie of Dauid: and Iehoram his sonne reigned in his steade.
2 Fofoa ƒe viŋutsu bubuwoe nye Azaria, Yehiel, Zekaria, Azaria, Mikael kple Sefatia.
And he had brethren the sonnes of Iehoshaphat, Azariah, and Iehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were the sonnes of Iehoshaphat King of Israel.
3 Wo fofo na klosalo, sika kple nu xɔasi geɖewo wo kpe ɖe Yuda du siwo woglã la ŋu, ke etsɔ fiaɖuƒe la na Yehoram elabena eyae nye via ŋusu ŋgɔgbetɔ.
And their father gaue them great giftes of siluer and of golde, and of precious things, with strong cities in Iudah, but the kingdome gaue he to Iehoram: for he was the eldest.
4 Esi Yehoram li ke eɖokui nyuie ɖe fofoa ƒe fiaɖuƒea dzi la, ewu nɔviŋutsuwo katã kple Israel ƒe fiaviŋutsu aɖewo hã.
And Iehoram rose vp vpon the kingdom of his father, and made himselfe strong, and slew all his brethren with the sworde, and also of the princes of Israel.
5 Yehoram xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve esi wòzu fia. Eɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe enyi.
Iehoram was two and thirtie yeere olde, when he began to reigne, and he reigned eyght yeere in Ierusalem.
6 Enye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe abe Ahab kple Israel fia bubuawo ene. Eɖe Ahab ƒe vinyɔnu eye wòwɔ nu si nye vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume.
And he walked in the way of the Kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife, and he wrought euill in the eyes of the Lord.
7 Ke Yehowa medi be yeatsi David ƒe viwo ƒe fiaɖuɖu nu o elabena ebla nu kple David be, yeana eƒe dzidzimeviwo dometɔ ɖeka nanɔ fiazikpui la dzi ɣe sia ɣi kokoko.
Howbeit the Lord would not destroy the house of Dauid, because of the couenant that he had made with Dauid, and because he had promised to giue a light to him, and to his sonnes for euer.
8 Le Yehoram ƒe fiaɖuɣi la, Edomtɔwo dze aglã, ɖe wo ɖokui ɖa tso Yuda te eye woɖo fia na wo ɖokui.
In his dayes Edom rebelled from vnder the hand of Iudah, and made a King ouer them.
9 Ke Yehoram yi afi ma kple eƒe amegãwo kpakple tasiaɖamwo katã. Le zã me la, Edomʋakɔ va ɖe to ɖe kpe ɖe eƒe tasiaɖam megãwo ŋu. Ke Yehoram kple eƒe tasiaɖam megãwo kpe aʋa kple Edomtɔwo hekpe wo dzi hesi to wo dome dzo.
And Iehoram went forth with his princes, and all his charets with him: and hee rose vp by night, and smote Edom, which had compassed him in, and the captaines of the charets.
10 Gake Edomtɔwo do le Yuda ƒe kɔkuti te va se ɖe egbe. Libna hã dze aglã elabena Yehoram trɔ le Yehowa, fofoawo ƒe Mawu yome.
But Edom rebelled from vnder the hande of Iudah vnto this day. then did Libnah rebell at the same time from vnder his hand, because he had forsaken the Lord God of his fathers.
11 Gawu la, Yehoram wɔ nuxeƒewo ɖe Yuda ƒe towo dzi eye wòzi eƒe amewo dzi be woasubɔ legbawo.
Moreouer hee made hie places in the mountaines of Iudah, and caused the inhabitants of Ierusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Iudah thereto.
12 Nu sia na Nyagblɔɖila Eliya ŋlɔ agbalẽ sia nɛ be, “Yehowa, tɔgbuiwò David ƒe Mawu la be, esi mèto fofowò Yehosafat alo Fia Asa ƒe afɔtoƒe o,
And there came a writing to him from Elijah the Prophet, saying, Thus sayth the Lord God of Dauid thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the wayes of Iehoshaphat thy father, nor in the wayes of Asa King of Iudah,
13 ke èvɔ̃ɖi abe fia siwo le Israel ene eye nèna Yerusalemtɔwo kple Yudatɔwo subɔ legbawo abe ale si wowɔ le Fia Ahab ŋɔli ene eye esi nèwu nɔviwòwo, ame siwo nyo wu wò ta la,
But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Iudah and the inhabitantes of Ierusalem to go a whoring, as the house of Ahab went a whoring, and hast also slaine thy brethre of thy fathers house, which were better then thou,
14 Yehowa atsrɔ̃ wò dukɔ kple dɔvɔ̃ dziŋɔ aɖe azɔ. Woatsrɔ̃ wò ŋutɔ, viwòwo, srɔ̃wòwo kple nu siwo katã le asiwò.
Beholde, with a great plague will the Lord smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wiues, and all thy substance,
15 Dɔléle, aɖe fu na wò dɔkaviwo eye wò dɔmenuwo aƒaƒã.”
And thou shalt be in great diseases in the disease of thy bowels, vntill thy bowels fall out for the disease, day by day.
16 Ale Yehowa na Filistitɔwo kple Arabiatɔwo, ame siwo do liƒo kple Kustɔwo la ho aʋa ɖe Yehoram ŋu.
So the Lord stirred vp against Iehoram the spirite of the Philistims, and the Arabians that were beside the Ethiopians.
17 Wozɔ ɖe Yuda dzi, ge ɖe woƒe anyigba dzi; wotsɔ nu xɔasi ɖe sia ɖe si nɔ fiasã la me eye wolé fia la ƒe viwo kple srɔ̃awo dzoe. Fia ƒe vi suetɔ, Yehoahaz, koe te ŋu si.
And they came vp into Iudah, and brake into it, and caryed away all the substance that was found in the Kings house, and his sonnes also, and his wiues, so that there was not a sonne left him, saue Iehoahaz, the yongest of his sonnes.
18 Le esiawo megbe la, Yehowa na dɔléle dze Fia Yehoram ƒe dɔmenuwo dzi.
And after all this, the Lord smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
19 Le ƒe eve megbe la, eƒe dɔkaviwo do go eye wòku le vevesese geɖe me. Womewɔ kɔnu siwo wowɔna na fiawo ne wòku la nɛ o.
And in processe of time, euen after the end of two yeeres, his guttes fell out with his disease: so he dyed of sore diseases: and his people made no burning for him like the burning of his fathers.
20 Exɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve esi wòdze fiaɖuɖu gɔme eye wòɖu fia ƒe enyi le Yerusalem. Esi wòku la, womefae o, woɖii ɖe Yerusalem gake menye ɖe fiawo ƒe ameɖibɔ me o.
When he began to reigne, he was two and thirtie yeere olde, and reigned in Ierusalem eight yeere, and liued without being desired: yet they buryed him in the citie of Dauid, but not among the sepulchres of the Kings.
