II Oihanaalii 21
1 HIAMOE iho la o Iehosapata me kona poe kupuna, a kanuia iho la me kona poe kupuna iloko o ke kulanakauhale o Davida; a nohoalii iho la o Iehorama kana keiki mahope ona.
Jehoshaphat died was buried with his fore fathers in the City of David, and his son Jehoram took over as king.
2 O kona mau hoahanau, na keiki a Iehosapata, oia o Azaria, a me Iehiela, a me Zekaria, a me Azaria, a me Mikaela, a me Sepatia; o keia poe a pau, oia na keiki a Iehosapata ke alii o ka Iseraela.
His brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat, were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah. All were sons of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah.
3 A haawi aku la ko lakou makuakane na lakou i na makana he nui loa, i ke kala, a i ke gula, a i na mea nani hoi, a me na kulanakauhale paa i ka pa ma Iuda; aka, haawi oia i ke aupuni no Iehorama, no ka mea, oia ka hiapo.
Their father had given them many gifts of silver and gold and valuable items, as well as the fortified towns in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram because he was the firstborn.
4 A ku iho la o Iehorama i ke aupuni o kona makuakane, imi iho la oia i mea e paa ai, a pepehi i kona poe hoahanau a pau loa me ka pahikaua, a i kekahi poe luna o ka Iseraela no hoi.
But once Jehoram had secured the kingdom, he made sure of his position by killing all his brothers, along with some of the princes of Judah.
5 He kanakolukumamalua makahiki o Iehorama i kona wa i noho alii ai, a noho alii iho ia ia i na makahiki ewalu ma Ierusalema.
Jehoram was thirty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years.
6 A hele ia ma ka aoao o na'lii o ka Iseraela, ma na mea a ko ka hale o Ahaba i hana'i; no ka mea, o ke kaikamahine a Ahaba oia kana wahine, a hana iho la oia ma ka hewa imua o Iehova.
He followed the evil ways of the kings of Israel, and was as bad as Ahab, for he had married one of Ahab's daughters. He did evil in the Lord's sight.
7 Aka, aole i makemake o Iehova e hoopau i ko ka hale o Davida no ka berita ana i hana'i me Davida, i kana olelo ana e haawi mai nona i kukui, a no kana poe mamo i na la a pau.
However, Yet the Lord did not want to destroy David's line because of the agreement he had made with David, and he had promised that David's descendants would rule forever like an ever-burning lamp.
8 I kona mau la, kipi iho la ka Edoma mai ka lima aku o ka Iuda, a hoalii iho la i alii no lakou.
During Jehoram's reign, Edom rebelled against Judah's rule and chose their own king.
9 Alaila hele iwaho o Iehorama me kona poe luna, a me na kaa a pau me ia; a ku ae la ia iluna i ka po, a luku i ka Edoma, i ka poe i hoopuni mai ia ia a me na luna no na kaa.
So Jehoram crossed into Edom with his officers and all his chariot army. The Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, but he broke through during the night.
10 Aka, noho kipi no ka Edoma mai ka lima aku o ka Iuda A hiki i keia la. Ia manawa no hoi, kipi iho la o Libena mai kona lima aku; no ka mea, ua haalele oia ia Iehova i ke Akua o kona poe kupuna.
From this time on Edom was in rebellion against Judah's rule, and remains so to this day. At the same time Libnah also rebelled against his rule, because he had abandoned the Lord, the God of his forefathers.
11 A hana no hoi ia i na wahi kiekie ma na mauna o Iuda, a hoomoekolohe i ko Ierusalema, a kaohi i ka Iuda malaila.
He also built high places on the mountains of Judah; he made the people of Jerusalem unfaithful to God and led Judah away from him.
12 A hiki mai io na la kekahi palapala na Elia mai na ke kaula, i mai la, Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova ke Akua o Davida o kou makua, I kou hele ole ana ma na aoao o Iehosapata kou makuakane, a me na aoao o Asa, ke alii o ka Iuda,
Jehoram received a letter from Elijah the prophet that said, “This is what the Lord, the God of David your forefather says, ‘You have not followed the ways of your father Jehoshaphat, or Asa, king of Judah,
13 Aka, hele oe ma ka aoao o na'liio ka Iseraela, a hoomoekolohe i ka Iuda, a me ko Ierusalema, e like me ka moe kolohe o ko ka hale o Ahaba, a ua pepehi no hoi i kou poe hoahanau, i ko ka hale o kou makuakane, ka poe i oi aku ko lakou maikai i kou;
but instead you have followed the ways of the kings of Israel, and have made the people of Jerusalem unfaithful, and the people of Jerusalem as unfaithful as the family of Ahab. You have even killed your brothers, your father's family, who were better than you.
14 Aia hoi, e hahau o Iehova me ka hahau nui i kou poe kanaka, a me kau poe keiki, a me kau poe wahine, a me kau mau mea a pau loa.
Watch out, for the Lord is going to hit your people hard—your sons, your wives, and all that you own.
15 A e hiki mai maluna ou la eha nui loa, no ka mai ma kou opu, no kou mai e pahu aku no kou naau iwaho i kela la i keia la.
You yourself will be struck with a terrible illness—a disease of the bowels which will get worse day by day until they come out.’”
16 A hoala ae la o Iehova i ka manao o ko Pilisetia e ku e ia Iehorama, a me ko Arabia, ka poe e noho kokoke ana i Aitiopa.
The Lord stirred up the hostility of the Philistines and of the Arabians (who live near the Ethiopians) against Jehoram.
17 Pii mai la lakou i Iuda a komo iloko, a lawe aku i na mea a pau i loaa ia lakou iloko o ka hale o ke alii, a i kana poe keiki, a me na wahine ana; aole i koe ia ia kekahi keiki, o Iehoaza wale no kana keiki pokii.
They came and invaded Judah, and took away everything they found in the king's palace, along with his sons and his wives, so that only the youngest son Jehoahaz was left.
18 A mahope iho o keia mau mea, hahau mai la o Iehova ia ia ma kona opu i ka mai hiki ole ke hoolaia.
After all this, the Lord struck Jehoram with a disease of the bowels for which there was no cure.
19 A hala kekahi mau la, i ka pau ana o na makahiki elua, pahu iwaho kona naau no kona mai. Pela oia i make ai i ka mai nui loa; aole i pupuhi wale kona poe kanaka i ke ahi nona, e like me ke puhi ana no kona poe kupuna.
Day after day it grew worse, until after two full years passed his bowels came out because of his disease, and he died in agony. His people did not make a fire to honor him as they had done for his forefathers.
20 Kanakolu ona mau makahiki a me kumamaiua i kona wa i noho alii ai, a noho alii iho la ia i na makahiki ewalu ma Ierusalema, a hele aku la ia me ka makemake ole ia mai: a ua kanuia oia iloko o ke kulanakauhale o Davida, aole nae iloko o na ilina o na'lii.
Jehoram was thirty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years. When he died, no one mourned him. He was buried in the City of David, but not in the royal tombs.
