2 Maũndũ 21
1 Nake Jehoshafatu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make na agĩthikwo hamwe nao o kũu Itũũra Inene rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Jehoramu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
And Josaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David: and Joram his son reigned in his stead.
2 Ariũ a ithe na Jehoramu mũrũ wa Jehoshafatu maarĩ Azaria, na Jehieli, na Zekaria, na Azariahu, na Mikaeli, na Shefatia. Acio othe maarĩ ariũ a Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
And he had brethren the sons of Josaphat, Azarias, and Jahiel, and Zacharias, and Azaria, and Michael, and Saphatias, all these were the sons of Josaphat king of Juda.
3 Ithe nĩamaheete iheo nyingĩ cia betha na thahabu na indo ingĩ cia goro, o hamwe na matũũra manene mairigĩre na thingo cia hinya kũu Juda, no aaheanire ũthamaki kũrĩ Jehoramu tondũ nĩwe warĩ mũriũ wa irigithathi.
And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and pensions, with strong cities in Juda: but the kingdom he gave to Joram, because he was the eldest.
4 Rĩrĩa Jehoramu eehaandire na akĩrũma ũthamaki-inĩ wa ithe-rĩ, nĩooragire ariũ a ithe othe na rũhiũ rwa njora, o hamwe na anene amwe a nyũmba ya ũthamaki a Isiraeli.
So Joram rose up over the kingdom of his father: and when he had established himself, he slew all his brethren with the sword, and some of the princes of Israel.
5 Jehoramu aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩĩrĩ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki. Nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ĩnana.
Joram was two and thirty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
6 Agĩthiĩ na mĩthiĩre ya athamaki a Isiraeli, o ta ũrĩa nyũmba ya Ahabu yekaga, nĩgũkorwo aahikĩtie mwarĩ wa Ahabu. Nake agakĩĩhagia maitho-inĩ ma Jehova.
And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Achab had done: for his wife was a daughter of Achab, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.
7 No o na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa aarĩkanĩire na Daudi, Jehova ndeendaga kwananga nyũmba ya Daudi. Nĩeranĩire atĩ nĩarĩmenyagĩrĩra tawa nĩ ũndũ wake na njiaro ciake nginya tene.
But the Lord would not destroy the house of David: because of the covenant which he had made with him: and because he had promised to give a lamp to him, and to his sons for ever.
8 Hĩndĩ ya Jehoramu-rĩ, Edomu nĩmaremeire Juda na magĩtua mũndũ ũngĩ mũthamaki wao ene.
In those days Edom revolted, from being subject to Juda, and made themselves a king.
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehoramu agĩthiĩ kuo na anene ake na ngaari ciake cia ita ciothe. Nao andũ a Edomu makĩmũrigiicĩria arĩ hamwe na anene a ngaari ciake cia ita, no agĩũkĩra ũtukũ, akĩũra.
And Joram went over with his princes, and all his cavalry with him, and rose in the night, and defeated the Edomites who had surrounded him, and all the captains of his cavalry.
10 Nginya ũmũthĩ, Edomu matũũraga maremeire Juda. O ihinda rĩu andũ a Libina makĩregana na watho wa Jehoramu, nĩgũkorwo nĩatiganĩirie Jehova, Ngai wa maithe make.
However Edom revolted, from being under the dominion of Juda unto this day: at that time Lobna also revolted, from being under his hand. For he had forsaken the Lord the God of his fathers:
11 O na ningĩ nĩakĩte kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kũu irĩma-inĩ cia Juda, na agatũma andũ a Jerusalemu mahũũre ũmaraya, na akahĩtithia andũ a Juda njĩra.
Moreover he built also high places in the cities of Juda, and he made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and Juda to transgress.
12 Jehoramu akĩnyiita marũa moimĩte kũrĩ mũnabii Elija maandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Jehova Ngai wa thoguo Daudi ekuuga ũũ: ‘Ndũthiĩte na mĩthiĩre ya thoguo Jehoshafatu, kana ya Asa mũthamaki wa Juda.
And there was a letter brought him from Elias the prophet, in which it was written: Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father: Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Josaphat thy father nor in the ways of Asa king of Juda,
13 No rĩrĩ, nĩũthiĩte na mĩthiĩre ya athamaki a Isiraeli, na nĩũtongoretie andũ a Juda na a Jerusalemu nĩguo mahũũre ũmaraya, o ta ũrĩa nyũmba ya Ahabu yekire. O na ningĩ nĩũũragĩte ariũ a thoguo, na andũ a nyũmba ya thoguo, na andũ maarĩ aagĩrĩru gũgũkĩra.
But hast walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and hast made Juda and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, imitating the fornication of the house of Achab, moreover also thou hast killed thy brethren, the house of thy father, better men than thyself,
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, rĩu Jehova akiriĩ kũhũũra andũ aku, na ariũ aku, na atumia aku, na kĩndũ gĩothe gĩaku, acihũũre ihũũra inene.
Behold the Lord will strike thee with a great plague, with all thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy substance.
15 Wee mwene nĩũkũrũara mũno, ũrũare mũrimũ wa mara ũtangĩhona, nginya mũrimũ ũcio ũtũme mara maku mathire biũ.’”
And thou shalt be sick of a very grievous disease of thy bowels, till thy vital parts come out by little and little every day.
16 Jehova akĩarahũrĩra Jehoramu ũũru wa Afilisti na wa Arabu arĩa maatũũraga gũkuhĩ na Akushi.
And the Lord stirred up against Joram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who border on the Ethiopians.
17 Magĩtharĩkĩra Juda, na magĩkũhũũra, na magĩkuua indo ciothe iria ciarĩ nyũmba ya mũthamaki, o hamwe na ariũ ake na atumia ake. Ndaatigĩirio mũriũ o na ũmwe o tiga Ahazia ũrĩa warĩ mũnini mũno.
And they came up into the land of Juda, and wasted it, and they carried away all the substance that was found in the king’s house, his sons also, and his wives: so that there was no son left him but Joachaz, who was the youngest.
18 Thuutha wa maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, Jehova nĩarehithĩirie Jehoramu mũrimũ wa mara ũtangĩhona.
And besides all this the Lord struck him with an incurable disease in his bowels.
19 Mahinda mathiianga, mũthia-inĩ wa mĩaka ĩĩrĩ-rĩ, mara make makiuma nĩ ũndũ wa mũrimũ ũcio, nake agĩkua arĩ na ruo rũnene mũno. Andũ ake matiigana gwakia mwaki nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtĩĩo gĩake, ta ũrĩa meekĩte nĩ ũndũ wa maithe.
And as day came after day, and time rolled on, two whole years passed: then after being wasted with a long consumption, so as to void his very bowels, his disease ended with his life. And he died of a most wretched illness, and the people did not make a funeral for him according to the manner of burning, as they had done for his ancestors.
20 Jehoramu aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩĩrĩ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake aathamakire arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ĩnana. Na rĩrĩ, akua gũtirĩ mũndũ wagĩire na kĩeha, nake agĩthikwo Itũũra Inene rĩa Daudi, no ndaathikirwo mbĩrĩra-inĩ cia athamaki.
He was two and thirty years old when he began his reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he walked not rightly, and they buried him in the city of David: but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
