Otra Laiku 21
1 Un Jehošafats aizmiga pie saviem tēviem un tapa aprakts pie saviem tēviem Dāvida pilī, un viņa dēls Jehorams palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
Then Jehoshaphat died, and was buried where his ancestors were buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Jehoram became the king [of Judah].
2 Un tam bija brāļi, Jehošafata dēli, Azarija un Jeīels un Zaharija un Acarija un Mikaēls un Šefatija, šie visi bija Jehošafata, Israēla ķēniņa, dēli.
His [younger] brothers were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah.
3 Un viņu tēvs tiem deva daudz dāvanas, sudrabu un zeltu un dārgas lietas, arī stipras pilsētas Jūdā, bet valstību viņš deva Jehoramam, tāpēc ka tas bija tas pirmdzimtais.
Before Jehoshaphat died, he gave them gifts of silver and gold and other valuable things. He also appointed them to rule various cities in Judah that had walls around them. But he appointed Jehoram to be the king of Judah, because Jehoram was his oldest son.
4 Kad nu Jehorams bija nācis pie sava tēva valstības un bija palicis spēcīgs, tad viņš nokāva visus savus brāļus ar zobenu, arī kādus no Israēla lielkungiem.
After Jehoram was completely in control of his father’s kingdom, he had all of his [younger] brothers executed, along with some of the leaders of the nation.
5 Trīsdesmit divi gadus Jehorams bija vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja astoņus gadus Jeruzālemē.
Jehoram was 32 years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
6 Un viņš staigāja Israēla ķēniņu ceļos, tā kā Ahaba nams darīja; jo viņam Ahaba meita bija par sievu, un viņš darīja, kas Tam Kungam nepatika.
But he did many of the [evil] things that the kings of Israel had done. He did many things that Yahweh considers to be evil, things that the family of Ahab had done, because he married one of Ahab’s daughters.
7 Bet Tas Kungs Dāvida namu negribēja izdeldēt tās derības dēļ, ko viņš bija derējis ar Dāvidu, un ka bija sacījis, viņam un viņa dēliem dot gaišumu mūžīgi.
However, because of the agreement that Yahweh had made with King David, Yahweh did not want to get rid of the descendants of David. He had promised that David’s descendants would always be the ones who ruled Judah.
8 Viņa laikā Edomieši atkrita no Jūda valdības un iecēla sev ķēniņu.
While Jehoram was ruling, the people of [the] Edom [region] rebelled against [the king of] Judah and appointed their own king.
9 Tādēļ Jehorams cēlās ar saviem virsniekiem un ar visiem saviem ratiem, un nogāja naktī un kāva Edomiešus, kas viņu bija apstājuši, un tos ratu virsniekus.
So Jehoram and his officers and his men in chariots went to Edom. There, the army of Edom surrounded them. Jehoram escaped during the night.
10 Tomēr Edomieši no Jūda valdības atkrita līdz šai dienai. Tai pašā laikā Libna atkrita no viņa valdības; jo viņš To Kungu, savu tēvu Dievu, bija atstājis.
But the king of Judah was never able to regain control of Edom, and Edom is still not controlled by Judah. [The people in] Libnah [city between Judah and Philistia] also rebelled against Judah. Those things happened because Jehoram turned away from [obeying] Yahweh, the God whom his ancestors [belonged to].
11 Viņš arī cēla altārus Jūda kalnos un darīja, ka Jeruzālemes iedzīvotāji maukoja, un pievīla Jūdu.
On the hilltops in Judah he had also built shrines [to worship idols], and had caused the people of Judah to stray away from Yahweh by worshiping foreign gods.
12 Tad grāmata pie tā nāca no pravieša Elijas ar šiem vārdiem: tā saka Tas Kungs, tava tēva Dāvida Dievs: tāpēc ka tu neesi staigājis sava tēva Jehošafata un Asas, Jūda ķēniņa, ceļos,
One day, Jehoram received a letter from the prophet Elijah. Elijah had written this in the letter: “This is what Yahweh, the God whom your ancestor [King] David [worshiped], says: 'You have not done things that please me like your father Jehoshaphat did or what King Asa did.
13 Bet esi staigājis Israēla ķēniņu ceļos un esi darījis, ka Jūda un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotāji maukoja pēc Ahaba nama maukošanas, un arī esi nokāvis savus brāļus no sava tēva nama, kas bija labāki nekā tu, -
Instead, you have continually done the [evil things] that the kings of Israel have done. You have encouraged the people in Jerusalem and other places in Judah to stop worshiping Yahweh, like the descendants of Ahab did. You have also murdered your own brothers, who were more righteous men than you are.
14 Redzi, tad Tas Kungs tevi mocīs ar lielu mocību pie taviem ļaudīm, pie taviem bērniem un pie tavām sievām un pie visas tavas mantas.
So now Yahweh is about to very severely punish the people in your kingdom and even your own children and your wives and everything that you own.
15 Un tev uzies liela slimība, ka tavas iekšas sirgs, tiekams tavas iekšas caur šo sērgu ar laiku pavisam izbeigsies.
And you yourself will have an intestinal disease that will continue to become worse, and you will suffer from it until you die.'”
16 Un Tas Kungs pamodināja pret Jehoramu Fīlistu un Arābu prātu, kas dzīvo gar Moru zemi.
Then Yahweh caused some men from the Philistia people-group and some Arabs who lived near the coast [of the Mediterranean Sea], where people from Ethiopia had settled, to become angry with Jehoram.
17 Un tie cēlās pret Jūdu un ielauzās un aizveda visu mantu, kas atradās ķēniņa namā, arī viņa bērnus un viņa sievas, tā kā neviens dēls viņam neatlika, kā vien Joakas (Ahazija), viņa jaunākais dēls.
Their army invaded Judah and took away [from Jerusalem] all the valuable things that they found in the king’s palace, and even his sons and wives. His youngest son, Ahaziah, was the only one of his sons whom they did not take away.
18 Un pēc visa tā Tas Kungs viņu mocīja viņa iekšās ar tādu sērgu, ko nevarēja dziedināt.
After that happened, Yahweh caused Jehoram to be afflicted with an intestinal disease that no one could cure.
19 Tas notika jo dienas jo vairāk, un kad divu gadu laiks bija pagājis, tad viņa iekšas ar to sērgu izbeidzās, ka tas lielās mokās nomira. Un viņa ļaudis par viņu nededzināja tādu dedzināšanu, kā tie bija darījuši viņa tēviem.
About two years later, while he was in great pain, he died because of that disease. The people of Judah had made bonfires to honor his ancestors when they died, but they did not make a bonfire for Jehoram.
20 Viņš bija trīsdesmit divus gadus vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja astoņus gadus Jeruzālemē, un viņš aizgāja, un nevienam viņa nebija žēl, un to apraka Dāvida pilī, bet ne ķēniņu kapos.
Jehoram was 32 years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years. No one was sorry when he died. His corpse was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, but he was not buried where the other kings [of Judah] had been buried.
