Ii Paralipomenon 21
1 dormivit autem Iosaphat cum patribus suis et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David regnavitque Ioram filius eius pro eo
And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
2 qui habuit fratres filios Iosaphat Azariam et Hiahihel et Zacchariam et Azariam et Michahel et Saphatiam omnes hii filii Iosaphat regis Israhel
And he had brethren, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah: all these were sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
3 deditque eis pater suus multa munera argenti et auri et pensitationes cum civitatibus munitissimis in Iuda regnum autem tradidit Ioram eo quod esset primogenitus
And their father had given them great gifts of silver and of gold and of precious things, besides fortified cities in Judah; but the kingdom he gave to Jehoram, for he was the firstborn.
4 surrexit ergo Ioram super regnum patris sui cumque se confirmasset occidit omnes fratres suos gladio et quosdam de principibus Israhel
And Jehoram established himself over the kingdom of his father, and strengthened himself; and he slew all his brethren with the sword, and [certain] also of the princes of Israel.
5 triginta duo annorum erat Ioram cum regnare coepisset et octo annis regnavit in Hierusalem
Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
6 ambulavitque in viis regum Israhel sicut egerat domus Ahab filia quippe Ahab erat uxor eius et fecit malum in conspectu Domini
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah.
7 noluit autem Dominus disperdere domum David propter pactum quod inierat cum eo et quia promiserat ut daret illi lucernam et filiis eius omni tempore
But Jehovah would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he had promised to give to him always a lamp, and to his sons.
8 in diebus illis rebellavit Edom ne esset subditus Iudae et constituit sibi regem
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and they set a king over themselves.
9 cumque transisset Ioram cum principibus suis et cuncto equitatu qui erat secum surrexit nocte et percussit Edom qui se circumdederat et omnes duces equitatus eius
And Jehoram went over with his captains, and all the chariots with him; and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites who had surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots.
10 attamen rebellavit Edom ne esset sub dicione Iuda usque ad hanc diem eo tempore et Lobna recessit ne esset sub manu illius dereliquerat enim Dominum Deum patrum suorum
But the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken Jehovah the God of his fathers.
11 insuper et excelsa fabricatus est in urbibus Iuda et fornicari fecit habitatores Hierusalem et praevaricari Iudam
Moreover he made high places on the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah [thereto].
12 adlatae sunt autem ei litterae ab Helia propheta in quibus scriptum erat haec dicit Dominus Deus David patris tui quoniam non ambulasti in viis Iosaphat patris tui et in viis Asa regis Iuda
And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet saying, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of David thy father: Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
13 sed incessisti per iter regum Israhel et fornicari fecisti Iudam et habitatores Hierusalem imitatus fornicationem domus Ahab insuper et fratres tuos domum patris tui meliores te occidisti
but hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, like the fornications of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren, thy father's house who were better than thyself:
14 ecce Dominus percutiet te plaga magna cum populo tuo et filiis et uxoribus tuis universaque substantia tua
behold, Jehovah will smite with a great stroke thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy substance,
15 tu autem aegrotabis pessimo languore uteri donec egrediantur vitalia tua paulatim per dies singulos
and thyself with sore sicknesses, with a disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.
16 suscitavit ergo Dominus contra Ioram spiritum Philisthinorum et Arabum qui confines sunt Aethiopibus
And Jehovah stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who [are] near the Ethiopians;
17 et ascenderunt in terram Iuda et vastaverunt eam diripueruntque cunctam substantiam quae inventa est in domo regis insuper et filios eius et uxores nec remansit ei filius nisi Ioachaz qui minimus natu erat
and they came up into Judah, and broke into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was no son left him, except Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons.
18 et super haec omnia percussit eum Dominus alvi languore insanabili
And after all this, Jehovah smote him in his bowels with an incurable sickness.
19 cumque diei succederet dies et temporum spatia volverentur duorum annorum expletus est circulus et sic longa consumptus tabe ita ut egereret etiam viscera sua languore pariter et vita caruit mortuusque est in infirmitate pessima et non fecit ei populus secundum morem conbustionis exequias sicut fecerat maioribus eius
And it came to pass, from day to day, and at the time when the second year was drawing to a close, that his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died in cruel sufferings. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
20 triginta duum annorum fuit cum regnare coepisset et octo annis regnavit in Hierusalem ambulavitque non recte et sepelierunt eum in civitate David verumtamen non in sepulchro regum
He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being regretted. And they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
