1 Jehoshaphat el misa ac pukpuki inkulyuk lun mwet leum in Siti sel David, ac Jehoram wen natul, el aolulla in tokosra.
Jehoshaphat slept with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of David; Jehoram, his son, became king in his place.
2 Jehoram wen natul Jehoshaphat, tokosra lun Judah, oasr tamulel onkosr wial: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariahu, Michael, ac Shephatiah.
Jehoram had brothers, sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariahu, Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were sons of Jehoshaphat, king of Israel.
3 Papa tumalos ah sang nu selos lupa na yohk ke silver, gold, ac kutu pac ma saok. El oayapa sang tuh kais sie selos in leumi siti ma kuhlusyukyak in acn Judah. Tuh ke sripen Jehoram pa matu emeet, Jehoshaphat el sang in el pa aolul.
Their father had given them large gifts of silver, gold, and other precious things, and also fortified cities in Judah, but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram.
4 Ke Jehoram el ku na pwaye fin tokosrai sac, el sap in anwuki tamulel lal ah kewa, oayapa kutu mwet pwapa fulat lun Israel.
Now when Jehoram had risen up over his father's kingdom and had firmly established himself as king, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and also various other leaders of Israel.
5 Jehoram el tokosrala ke el yac tolngoul luo, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke lusen yac oalkosr.
Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem.
6 El fahsr tukun ouiya koluk lal Tokosra Ahab ac tokosra pac saya lun Israel, mweyen el payuk sin sie sin acn natul Ahab. El orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD,
He walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab was doing, for he had Ahab's daughter as his wife, and he did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
7 tusruktu LEUM GOD El tia lungse kunausla tokosra in sou lal David, mweyen El tuh orala wulela se nu sel David mu tulik natul pa ac tokosra nwe tok.
However, Yahweh did not wish to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David; he had promised that he would always give life to him and his descendants.
8 In pacl Jehoram el tokosra, acn Edom tuyak lain ac Judah, ac srengla lukelos ac srukak sie tokosra lalos sifacna.
In Jehoram's days, Edom revolted from the control of Judah, and they set a king over themselves.
9 Ouinge Jehoram ac captain lun mwet mweun lal ah elos kasrusr ke chariot ac som mweuni mwet Edom. Mwet mweun lun Edom raunelosla, tusruktu mwet Judah elos konoiak inkanek in kaingla ke fong.
Then Jehoram crossed over with his commanders and all his chariots. It was night when he rose up and fought against the Edomites who had surrounded him and his chariot commanders.
10 In pacl sac me, mwet Edom tila muta ye ku lun mwet Judah. In pacl sacn pacna, siti Libnah tuyak pac lain acn Judah, mweyen Jehoram el pilesru LEUM GOD lun mwet matu lal.
So Edom has been in rebellion from the control of Judah to this present day. Libnah also revolted at the same time from his control, because Jehoram had forsaken Yahweh, the God of his ancestors.
11 El musai pac nien alu lun mwet pegan infulan eol in Judah, ac el kol mwet Judah ac mwet Jerusalem in oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD.
In addition, Jehoram had also built high places in the mountains of Judah and he made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to live like prostitutes, and he led Judah astray.
12 Mwet palu Elijah el supwala leta se nu sel Jehoram, ac pa inge ma simla loac: “LEUM GOD lal David, papa matu tomom, el lain kom mweyen kom tia fahsr ke ouiya lun Tokosra Jehoshaphat, papa tomom, ku Tokosra Asa, papa matu tomom.
A letter from the prophet Elijah came to Jehoram. It said, “This is what Yahweh, the God of David, your ancestor, says: Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat, your father, nor in the ways of Asa, king of Judah,
13 A kom fahsr ke lumah lun tokosra Israel ac kolla mwet Judah ac mwet Jerusalem tuh elos in tia inse pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD, oana Ahab ac mwet kol tokol tuh kol mwet Israel in tia pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD. Kom oayapa uniya tamulel lom, sruhk elos wo liki kom.
but have walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to act like a prostitute, as the house of Ahab did—and because you have also killed your brothers in your father's family, men who were better than yourself—
14 Ke sripa inge, LEUM GOD El ac sang kalya upa nu sin mwet lom ac tulik nutum ac mutan kiom, ac El ac fah kunausla ma nukewa lowos.
see, Yahweh will strike with a great plague your people, your children, your wives, and all your possessions.
15 Ac kom sifacna ac fah keok ke mas lun insiom, ac mas se inge ac fah yokyokelik ke len na len.”
You yourself will have much sickness because of a disease in your intestines, until your intestines fall out because of the sickness, day after day.”
16 Kutu mwet Philistia ac mwet Arabia muta apkuran nu yen ma mwet Ethiopia muta we sisken meoa. LEUM GOD El oru tuh elos in som mweunel Jehoram.
Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and of the Arabians who were near the Cushites.
17 Elos utyak nu in acn Judah, ac usla mwe kasrup nukewa inkul sin tokosra, wi mutan nukewa kial oayapa tulik mukul nukewa natul sayal Ahaziah, su fusr oemeet sin tulik natul uh.
They attacked Judah, invaded it, and carried away all the wealth that was found in the king's house. They also carried away his sons and his wives. No son was left to him except Jehoahaz, his youngest son.
18 Na tukun ma inge nukewa, LEUM GOD El sang nu sin tokosra mas upa ke insial su el arulana keok kac.
After all this, Yahweh struck him in his intestines with an incurable disease.
19 Mas se lal inge yokyokelikna apkuran in yac luo, na el keoki nwe ke el misa. Mwet lal ah tiana tanak e in eoksra kacl, oana ke elos oru nu sin mwet matu lal meet ah.
It came about in due time, at the end of two years, that his intestines fell out because of his sickness, and that he died of severe disease. His people made no fire in his honor as they had done for his ancestors.
20 Jehoram el mutawauk in tokosra ke el yac tolngoul luo, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac oalkosr. Wanginna mwet asor ke el misa. Elos piknilya in Siti sel David, tusruktu tia ke inkulyuk lun mwet leum.
He had begun to reign when he was thirty-two years old; he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years, and when he departed no one mourned him. They buried him in the city of David, but not in the royal tombs.
