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.
And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son became king in his stead.
2 Fofoa ƒe viŋutsu bubuwoe nye Azaria, Yehiel, Zekaria, Azaria, Mikael kple Sefatia.
And he had brothers the sons of Jehoshaphat: 'Azaryah, and Jechiel, and Zecharyahu, and 'Azaryahu, and Michael, and Shephatyahu, all these being sons of Jehoshaphat the 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 gave them many gifts [consisting] of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah; but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram; because he was the first-born.
4 Esi Yehoram li ke eɖokui nyuie ɖe fofoa ƒe fiaɖuƒea dzi la, ewu nɔviŋutsuwo katã kple Israel ƒe fiaviŋutsu aɖewo hã.
Now when Jehoram was risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he slew all his brothers with the sword, and also some of the princes of Israel.
5 Yehoram xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve esi wòzu fia. Eɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe enyi.
Thirty and two years was Jehoram old when he became king, and eight years did he reign in Jerusalem.
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 had done the house of Achab; for the daughter of Achab had he for wife: and he did what is evil 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.
Yet would the Lord not destroy the house of David, on account of the covenant which he had made with David, and as he had said to give to him a government and to his sons at all times.
8 Le Yehoram ƒe fiaɖuɣi la, Edomtɔwo dze aglã, ɖe wo ɖokui ɖa tso Yuda te eye woɖo fia na wo ɖokui.
In his days Edom revolted from under the power of Judah, and they appointed a king over themselves.
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.
Then did Jehoram go over with his princes, and all the chariots were with him; and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites who compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots.
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.
Yet Edom revolted from under the power of Judah even until this day: then did Libnah revolt at the same time from under his power; because he had forsaken the Lord the God of his fathers.
11 Gawu la, Yehoram wɔ nuxeƒewo ɖe Yuda ƒe towo dzi eye wòzi eƒe amewo dzi be woasubɔ legbawo.
He also made high-places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go astray, and misled Judah.
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 unto him a writing from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus hath said the Lord the God of David thy father, Inasmuch as thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, and in the ways of Assa the king of Judah,
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 caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go astray, as the house of Achab hath caused [others] to go astray, and hast also slain thy brothers of thy father's house, who were better than thyself:
14 Yehowa atsrɔ̃ wò dukɔ kple dɔvɔ̃ dziŋɔ aɖe azɔ. Woatsrɔ̃ wò ŋutɔ, viwòwo, srɔ̃wòwo kple nu siwo katã le asiwò.
Behold, the Lord will inflict a great plague on thy people, and on thy children, and on thy wives, and on all thy possessions;
15 Dɔléle, aɖe fu na wò dɔkaviwo eye wò dɔmenuwo aƒaƒã.”
And thou shalt be [afflicted] with great diseases by a disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels pass out [from thee] by reason of the disease days upon days.
16 Ale Yehowa na Filistitɔwo kple Arabiatɔwo, ame siwo do liƒo kple Kustɔwo la ho aʋa ɖe Yehoram ŋu.
And the Lord stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that are alongside of the Cushim:
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 went up against Judah, and made an incursion into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and also his sons, and his wives; and there was not left unto him any son, save Jehoachaz, the youngest of his sons.
18 Le esiawo megbe la, Yehowa na dɔléle dze Fia Yehoram ƒe dɔmenuwo dzi.
And after all this did the Lord afflict him in his bowels with a disease which was incurable.
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 it came to pass, from days to days, and when the [fixed] time was expired, after two years, that his bowels passed out [from him] by reason of his disease: so he died of evil diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning for 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.
Thirty and two years old was he when he became king, and eight years did he reign in Jerusalem, and departed without joy: and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
